Most older, single men have been through the following:
1. Having and raising children
2. Job disappointments
3. A health scare
4. A divorce
5. A reduction in their financial status
6. Adaption to a single lifestyle
7. A lack of an acceptable sex life

So now comes the question of what are they looking for? Are you and what you want what they are looking for? Some enjoy the thought of again being in a close relationship, perhaps even something close to marriage. Others are enjoying the freedom of being single and having a single lifestyle. They are not much interested in a relationship that would change their lifestyle. Where do you, as a "normal" woman, fit into what older, single men are looking for?


Somewhat older women may have been through the following:
1. Having and raising children
2. Job disappointments
3. A health scare
4. A divorce
5. A reduction in their financial status
6. Adaption to a single lifestyle
7. A lack of an acceptable sex life

But guess what: we deal with it!
It nothing special you know. It's called "LIFE".

And not everyone has had:
2. Job disappointments
3. A health scare
5. A reduction in their financial status
7. A lack of an acceptable sex life

Nor problems with
6. Adaption to a single lifestyle

Most older people have been through some life experiences that have changed them. Who they are today is different than who they were in their 30s and 40s. Their current outlook on life substantially affects their choices in who they would be interested in as a future companion or partner. Until we older men and women actually engage in meaningful discussion of the necessary characteristics of someone we would like to find, we will continue to look without much success until we give up.


oldkid, I agree with what you're saying here but I have to say that you seem to have a very negative attitude. If you're negative that's what you'll attract. I'm saying this respectfully because I respect my elders, just my opinion.

I probably come across as negative because of the frustration caused by the immense failure to communicate between men and women as we have gotten older. This is probably more prevalent on dating sites than in real life. It is just as bad as the misunderstandings leading to the hated associated with our political processes. I have yet to see any improvements in either situation!! People just are not willing to communicate and understand the other side of any situation or topic. Honesty would be a good place to start.

Far too many older women have been through marriage and relationships and still think the high school football quarterback or the white knight on a steed will come over the hill and rescue them. A lifetime of reality doesn't change the things they expected in high school.



oh really.... do you only consider women in their twenties as being older?
I do not know a woman over thirty who wants or needs a man to rescue her - it's very insulting of you to think so --- slaphead


Are you still in high school???? Maybe you are still lusting after the cheerleaders??? Or maybe you want to be "rescued" or taken care of???

Normal blah blah blah.
What is "normal" for one person abnormal for someone else.

The generalization of ANY demographic in it's entirety whether it's men, women, old, young, race, religion etc. might be normal for some people but it's not normal for me.

Sorry but I know a number of women who need and want someone to take care of them. Some of them are well past 50 and still don't have life figured out.

"You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes well you just might get what you need" .....to quote the Stones
You know who cares? Really if some old man is looking for a younger woman or if a woman is looking for someone to take care of her, let them be blessed if they find that person , life is hard enough as it is, may they find that person and it's nobody's business but theirs......

they say they dont want drama


I don't.



yet seek dramatic younger women with nothing but their looks going for them.


Not me.

But finding someone "drama-free" at any age (despite the claims) is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

OP has left the building...

another one of those threads where the OP starting it does not participate at all...I see no response to good and thoughtful comments from the Mingle members...

makes me question whether the OP just slapped words together with very little thought and tossed it in the pot with no intention of engaging in any discussion...

but of course, i could be wrong...

Some are looking for a quick hook up, and if nothing happens in a day or so, they leave in a huff. I guess

Speaking as a sports car owner, not all older guys buy them to get the younger women or to validate themselves. At a certain age I was finally able to afford the '66 Vette that I couldn't get Dad to add to the family garage when I was a teenager. He would always say, "Those cars are for rich people with nothing else to do with their money." Then he'd add something about "practicality". He passed on at 103 (he and Geronimo lived at the same time), so he did get to see the Vette.
