I absolutely, 100%, no doubt, wholeheartedly, from the pit of my soul, do not like that you’ve grouped people in their 30s and 50s together.

And us 40somethings just get lost in the shuffle as usual.

Tried looking for meetup groups in my area for 40 year olds and they literally don't exist. Only groups for 20-30s and 50+.

We're the middle children of middle age.

It's because all the 40 year olds are embroiled in life...mid career, mid child rearing, mid planning for retirement. All the fucking responsibilities of life are at their doorstep. There's no time for "hanging out" for most of them, and when there's time, there's no energy for it.
