True, I could dance, was darn good at it and she liked that. In fact, on our first date to a Country-Western nightclub (she asked me to go with her), her sister and niece were there. After seeing us 2-step, her niece walked up to her and said "he is definitely a keeper!" to my wife. But, it sure wasn't just the dancing that my wife liked about me, it was that I could saddle/handle a horse and a rope! A few years later, I got her interested in firearms and now she loves shooting her own handgun and rifle!
Bottom line is, at 50 yrs old (me), when I met her, she seen a very exciting, outgoing, humorous "cowboy" type that she had wanted. Later, a power boat came into view and our marriage got that much better!
Oh, did I mention that she LOVES my cooking!

I suspect the OPs is looking for more in a partner than cartoonish stereotypes though.

I feel a big OUCH! In rebuttal, I don't think the OP knows WHAT she wants or needs and I don't see a "cartoonish stereotype" in Loveboat's description.
I'm 66, just got married, met her online, 8 months ago, I'm happy, content, and you could be too.
This whole idea of dating is so out of focus today, we expect to "get something", that's the American way. I went out with a lot of women, I didn't have much in the way of expectations, I just wanted to meet others and have a dinner, drinks and a few laughs.
You can expect to go out a lot if you can leave the baggage at home, be friendly, be honest, it's a date not a commitment. My wife of thirty years had died, I was really lonesome, I felt lost in the new world of relationship forming, but, I finally just up and invited a lot of women out and it wasn't long before I met the right one, as the saying goes......You gotta get out there, so, you can always act first, don't wait for men to do the asking, we aren't all put off by a woman who knows her own mind...

I don't either. And I think Zentropa needs to get out more.
"Cartoonish stereotypes".......just where in the He** did you get that from?
The lady wanted a COWBOY, so what's wrong with that? She had even placed a Personal Ad in a local magazine looking for that. I didn't see her ad, but she seen mine talking about rodeo and other things. I said in my ad that I had no body piercings or tattoos AND she told me when we met "I like that!" Now you'll probably say something about her wanting a man that doesn't have body piercings and tattoos......right?
As far as the firearms went, she always wanted to learn how to hand a gun safely and shoot. I knew about both, but didn't own any firearms when I met her.
"Cartoonish stereotypes"........geeshhhhhhhhhhh!

Yea, I know some World Champion PRCA cowboys from the Texas Circuit! Wonder what they would say about your "cartoonish stereotypes" statement.
Naw, you wouldn't want to know what they'd say!

I think you got my point. When someone is looking for a life partner, I would hope they are digging deeper than "I want a cowboy!" or "I want a fireman!" Or "I want a race car driver!"
I would hope. But that's just me.
