I've known many vegan ladies in their 40s. However, you should not be averse to the idea of relocation for love.

How old is Fred? I just guessed with my post as to what he meant.

Yes that was just wild guessing. Veganism is not known to be a strong trend among older people. I am just probably more thoughtful and not with a hardened conscience as much as others. I was married before, until I was in my forties. I had issues to overcome, not having much and frequently between jobs, I gave up drinking in a few years, and in about a couple of more years, learning it could be healthier to not have meat, I gave up getting meat. Within a few more years I went online, and I was soon looking for vegetarian communication with my interests and spirituality involved. Along the way I learned if many issues all animal agriculture.

I couldn't submit my edit to that post just after accidentally posting. I was still saying there are the issues to animals, and that agriculture is taking more resources and the greater harmful impact to natural environments, so I knew I should give up all animal products, being vegan then. That was about eleven years ago when I was effectively vegan ever since, and still it was a couple of years before I found there was a healthy way with this, that I adhere to since. I am now in my mid sixties. I talked online with some vegan women hoping to find one who was right, all them quite far away from me. Since the changes I chose, for what is better, I found I was diagnosed with COPD. I pretty much dropped from pursuits for a right woman to be with, it is all to much a long shot for me, with my issues and my age and limitations.

Still I make positive changes I see are important in my life, just perhaps it might be that attractive to someone. It would not be anyone conventional though.
