A survey of 1,500 women aged 20 to 65 in the United Kingdom shows that about half of those already half a century old, more precisely 49%, find themselves happier after the age of 50. Conducting the survey was the lingerie company Playtex, which surveyed women and found that they are more satisfied with life at this age.
Other data show that 11% of women over 50 who are single use dating sites to find new love, compared with 15% of younger women. In addition, they claim that their sex life has not stopped because of age, and that they are still wearing lingerie sexies and do not even think of exchanging their femininity and sensuality for comfort. The routine has also dropped, and most of them claim to live a life outside of boring routines especially at home, and this also shows in other data, such as confirmation that 42% of women started dance classes after 50, to have a more active life, and overall they all have much more activity than younger ones.
And gradually the data shows more and more proof that older women are leaving younger women behind. In the study, 23% said they wanted to try a new sport later this year, compared with 16% of the younger ones.
The study also states that women over 50 are more advanced than previously thought: 93% of them say they have broken family rules and traditions passed by their mothers in order to better fit their routine and modernity. Their opinion is important, especially when most claim to be friends with their children and not have an authoritarian relationship as they once had, and who mainly want to see more women like them in the ads.
