At 80 and now a widower, it's now a real problem... I'm looking for new companionship and beyond, and the ladies my age are not inspiring... Topping that off, My son's wife just announced the she's retiring after over 30 years teaching... I'm still working... (self-employed). So I cast about, looking for a lady that is active, preferably technical, and definitely active in life as am I....

i pretty much ignore age

determined to stay awake!

I look for the ones who are speechless, breathing and undiscerning.

I agree, overall men unfortunately do not age as attractively or as well as most women and much of that has to do with diet fitness fashion and grooming. As young men some must be led to believe that their masculinity gets the girl - so I think they do not realize that a good haircut, a reasonable waistline, and something besides a T shirt would make them more attractive. I date men younger also. Somewhere along the line a lot of men do stop taking care of themselves - but men in these older generations also were raised to some degree to think that this is some woman's job to do - that mentality can come back to bite them if they end up single in their 50s & 60s. Of course, I wouldn't be interested in a man who wasn't well groomed in his 30s or 40s either Fade, it's just that I also don't see that so much with the younger guys. My best advice to men my age - if I can offer only a few words: Get fit, & get rid of the T Shirts and golf shorts. Shave. If you wear ur hair long keep it trimmed and in a pony tail.

i look for the ones who are a little obstreperous
wily and promiscuous

<<<--- always well groomed .....well most of the time

where is your sense of adventure?

you are not obligated to turn into Mrs. Robertson besides,
when was the last time you had a chance to play ski-ball
at Chuck-E-Cheese?

I would agree, I noticed trust me.

I know I was a little hard on y'all, and a little unfair - I'll blame it on Fade. She got me ramped...good grooming is good irrespective of age. Not only do you appeat to be a very attractive man, but a sweet one as well
