I don't know anything really about age and IFC, but what Firehouse says seems really important.
You don't want to seem like bitter-I-wasted-my-youth-guy. So the less you call attention to how you feel about what you did instead or getting into having an ex-wife, the better I think.
Is it possible to talk to some of the guys you met already informally before hand rush?
