Well, excuse me for butting in, but you are making a huge mistake.
You will find it very difficult to find love with a new woman when you put restrictions like age on who you are willing to "love". 
With a window of 5 years (35-40), you are limiting yourself.  Why would you think a woman 12 years your junior wouldn't think you are too old for her if you think  a woman 12 years your senior is too old for you.  Do you honestly believe a 59 year old woman is not capable of loving a man emotionally, mentally, physically, socially, even spiritually?  HOW DARE YOU.
I am 59.  I know I am not too old to find love, be loved, and love.  Whether or not I will be open- minded enough to accept the possibility of love regardless of a person's age and race is the big question. 
Get over yourself.  Love comes in all sizes and shapes, colors and faiths, and certainly in all ages.  It's not whether or not you are too old; it's whether or not you open your heart and mind to accept. 

If you really believe in love, then no matter what your age, it's always possible, are you willing to give the love you expect to receive, and is that love worth your efforts to find, and/or reconize, when it happens

Hurry up, you only have 33 years left to find the love of your life.

i shouldnt be answering this as im over your stipulated age limit but im here now so what the heck?47 isnt too old to find love,not by a long shot!!!  I was 50 a couple of months ago.divorced 24 years ago,the man i was involved with after that passed away 12 years ago. I certainly wasnt looking for another relationship,was perfectly happy as i was.Not long after my last birthday i bumped into a man id known to chat to for ages though id not seen him about for a bit(if that makes sense?).We went for a coffee and a catch up ,got on like a house on fire(not literally!!)Cutting a long story short,ive now got the partner i didnt expect to have or thought i wanted.So 47 certainly isnt too old to find love!!good luck to you,one day you might just get a  suprise !Incidentally hes  5 years younger than me,but with some of his opinions youd think it was the other way round !!!

Money always helps.

I am a very positive person but I have to say no. I had been married all my life and at one point in the beginning was out with my girls looking for someone I guess.  But the problem is I couldnt find anyone because I didn't even know what type of man I wanted and if I wanted one at all.  Needless to say I drank that year away and am so thankful that I didn't find anyone.  I think when you jump right into arelationship you don't get the change to find out who u are and get rid of baggage that you need to get rid of first because carrying it into new relationship just won't work.  My biggest thing was I had kids all the time and I husband and when they were gone I was lost. It's been 5 years and I love. My biggest fear also was I didn't know how to date I'm 20 some years older and I just kinda gave up. But if u still believe that's what you want then go for it! goodluck
