A GLAM mum of three has one of the most successful online dating profiles among over-50’s on an “elite” dating website.

Tanya Jaksha, 50, says she gets “overwhelmed” by the number of messages she receives on the controversial BeautifulPeople site - especially from younger men.

Tanya, who works as a compliance specialist, says she treats anti-ageing as a “sport” and has over 100 messages a month from potential suitors asking her out.

And she has enjoyed some impressive dates as a result - including being whisked across the state in a Limo and handed credit cards to go on shopping sprees.

Although she is regularly complimented about her looks, she claims her sister was always considered the 'beautiful' one when they were growing up.

It has also been revealed that she had one of the most successful dating profiles for a woman over 50.

The Beautiful People website allows members to vote on whether other people can join the website and claims to “reject” ugly people - so that only “good-looking” men and women can become members.

Tanya, from Omaha, Nebraska, first joined the site in 2011, but was not very active as she got engaged shortly afterwards.

Now single again, she has returned to the website in the hope of finding Mr Right.

She said: “I joined out of curiosity and to see if I could get in. I really didn’t have any expectations.

“When I was accepted I was flattered. I don’t think people on the site are necessarily conventionally attractive.

“It’s a lot more like modelling. If you have a strong look, whatever it is, people on the site find you intriguing and vote ‘yes’.

“Beauty is more than just what’s on the outside.”

Tanya describes the site as “entertaining” and likes being able to chat to people from all over the world.

She said: “You never know who will want to connect with you from day to day.

“They could be next door or on the other side of the world. I love that.

“It can be overwhelming trying to respond to everyone. It’s a really active site.

“I have had a lot of adventures. One guy sent me a limo from another state, put me up in a hotel suite, took me to his company Christmas party, gave me a blank cheque to buy Christmas presents for all the women in his office, and something for myself of course. It was so fun.

“But a great date for me can just be talking over a couple of drinks. Interesting conversation is my favourite thing and intelligence is a must.

“Fortunately I’ve found that even though the site is based on looks, everyone I have met has been smart and successful as well.”

And it’s not just on the website that Tanya gets compliments on her striking looks.

The mum puts her youthful appearance down to spending years being worried about ageing and trying to fight its effects.

Tanya said: “I do often get compliments on how I look day to day, and the older I get the more I appreciate it.

“I put a lot of work into fighting ageing and I know I don’t look like I did 20 years ago so every compliment is like a little victory.

“I realise most people are OK with ageing gracefully, but I have always been interested in beauty and there are so many things available to us now to hold off the visible sings for as long as possible.

“It’s fascinating to me. It’s like a sport.”

Tanya says her ideal man is someone with old-fashioned politeness and that the younger men who often contact her can drive her crazy being glued to their phones and only wanting to text.

She said: “I like those confident alpha males, and they need to be smart, funny, and a little offbeat.

“Being older I’m attracted to men who are gentlemen. Opening doors, sending flowers, actually calling instead of texting. I love those little gestures.”

To look after herself, Tanya makes sure she gets plenty of sleep and comes up with her own beauty creams.

She said: “Getting enough sleep is the biggest thing for me. If I don’t get enough it shows all over my face the next day.

“It’s busy with three kids but I make time to take care of my skins. I came out of the womb obsessed with skin and I swear I was concocting my own face masks at the age of eight.

“I also read constantly. Learning new things keeps us interesting, and to me there is no beauty without brains.”
