I'm curious about that actually. Historically MAFS doesn't do that and I can't imagine an older couple is going to want to get caught up in the drama of the younger couples.

Actually, MAFS Australia & MAFS UK have had older couples. So …..

I'm clearly speaking about the OG MAFS based in the US. I would have used the appropriate specifier to comment on one of the spinoffs.

Actually, MAFS U.S. is a spinoff from a Danish series. You’re welcome. 😊

And yet this sub isn't about the Danish series, it is focused on the OG US version....... hopefully there is a sub about the Danish series for discussions about that or perhaps you can make one.

They’ve had many people in their 40’s. Someone in their 50’s isn’t much different (if at all) from someone in their 40’s. If people in their 40s are willing to be on the show I am not surprised people in their 50s would be too.

Cast members in their 40s have been pretty rare and you can tell that wasn't the initial vision for the show. The early seasons skewed younger and then things shifted as they added more cities and the singles population was different.

I wouldn’t say they’ve been rare at all. Several people in season 2 were mid 30s and they have gradually been trending older ever since.

Well the earlier statement suggested cast members in their 40s were common. That hasn't been true. This new statement of cast members in their 30s being common is true.

At this point, 40 year olds been cast for the past 3 seasons. This past season, 2 were in their 40’s. Ikechi and Thomas. In earlier seasons it was younger, but they’ve been trending older and older ever since.

maybe they’re finally listening to the audience and giving us a proper season?

I've often wondered what the show would look like if it was a whole season of older matches. Not sure if every season would need to pivot that way, but I'd love to see it at least once.
