Hiya Mo :-)....I've had enough time "being over 50" to know what I want...It's the same thing I wanted when I was over 20, 30 and 40...I want to be number one in someone's life...I don't mean I want to be his only thing, I mean I want to be number one on his list of things...I'm looking for the kind of love that each person "automatically" places the other first..W/o thought, w/o hesitation...When two people do this, everything else, like trust, respect, protecting, teaching, falls into place...I don't want a leader or a provider, I want a man who accepts that those things are shared equally as a mutual responsibility ...I want a partner, a best friend and a lover...


Totally agree but the handy man would be nice too and there are different areas of leadership and providing. I was raised to be the house wife and my ex will tell you I'm a domestic goddess. He still after 14 years refers his wife to me. Good thing we're friends. The thing is I'm old fashioned and want leadership but it's a give and take. I expect my thoughts wishes and desires to be taken into consideration in those decisions and my advice asked for and considered. Then while I may not be a bread winner, my husbands came home to spotless homes, happy children and home cooked meals. They were waited on hand and foot and I was there for all the things they needed me for. From cutting pipes and hanging dry wall to burring parents. Thing is a real relationship exists on that give and take and the more you give to each other the less taking there is. The more love there is in the relationship.

I agree its was so honest very well written Leigh. I can't believe this woman is single.As for myself I hope and pray that someone would look at me in those ways some day.

I think both men and women are looking for the same thing in a relationship...

Emotional intimacy and emotional trust.

These to me are the foundations of partnership.

Just my thoughts...

I think we do all agree on this, beyond this there have been wonderful answers. They aren't all the same. Neither are we. I think that's why we come online, to find someone the same kind of different as we are. Or at least a complementary kind. And make new friendsbiggrin

What are the ladies over fifty looking for in a relationship?

The question guys of all ages are asking, what do women want?

I personally think women, no matter what their age, wants a man to be a provider, a protector, a teacher and a leader, someone they can look up to and respect.



If any lady of any age is looking for a man to be any of those things then WTF is going on?????????

apart from wanting to respect him and be respected herself I disagree with all the rest. And why would you respect anyone else?? because they treat you as a thinking, active, educated and worthy individual that's why.
??? I burned my bra for this ????
give me strength
slaphead slaphead slaphead slaphead shocked shocked whoa


My thoughts exactly. think

Some really great post, but I still believe that men and women alike want to be respected and valued for who they are, therefore, we need to find someone who thinks like we do.

Someone who will always have our best interest at heart, who will defend and stand up for us, who will contribute to the relationship, and if there are children we need to be in agreement as to the instructions and training the children receive.

In a relationship I want to feel safe, I need someone who can think for himself, who is able to take on challenges. There is no way I would be able to respect a guy who was a dead beat or someone I was in competition with. I want to walk beside the person I'm with, not behind or in front.

I burned my bras because I want equal rights when it comes to the law of the land, to be respected by all, and sexual harassment is unacceptable.
