How to get a Match after turning 50
I write this at the start of a New Year wondering if it will be possible to get matches anymore ?. Apart from my age which seeems to be an issue there is the fact that i prefer to meet with guys the same weight but only seem to get Challenges from guys over 180lbs & no replies to my own offers.
What i don't understand is that even though i'm happy to travel to London & help cover cost of Matroom & even when age is claimed not to be an issue & your the same Stats you still can't even get a reply.
I have even considered trying to pursuade guys with cash incentives, so good luck to anyone approaching 50.

I'm not sure if you're interested but....
What I've found useful is the group events. I attend many of the UK Events that are advertised on this site and I organise events as well. There is a wide variety of guys that attend them, all ages, shapes and sizes. I'd be surprised if you didnt get a match that you'd enjoy.
The beauty of the events is that you can arrange a private match for another time. The venue in Manchester has private areas for matches as well.
All the best and hope you get loads of matches.

Hope you get some matches soon mate,look at me, the last long match I had was in september of last year,and I'm only 43, take care.
