For women, life begins at 50.

Yes, a survey has revealed that the best years of a woman’s life start once she is over 50, with 92 per cent of female respondents saying they are ‘happier than ever’.

Four in five feel as sexy as they did in their 20s and 86 per cent of those women with a partner say ‘sex is better than in their 20s’, the poll found.

The poll of 2,000 older women by Yours magazine also found almost three in four women over 50 thought that ‘being a happy, footloose gran is more fun than being a frazzled parent’, the ‘Daily Express’ reported.

Fewer than a quarter worry about looking old, while 70 per cent would turn down cosmetic surgery if it was offered.

The survey also found the average woman over 50 feels a whopping 21 years younger, with women aged 60 feeling they are 39. Some 51 per cent of all women 50-plus don’t care about what the younger generation think about them.
