I am going to get so flamed but here goes. I am 72 and I do not see many women over 60 that I personally find attractive. Of course there are some (and you are one darling) so do not attempt to prove me totally wrong. Bottom line is it is my personal observance and taste. I would be most interested in would be 35 to 55. Of course they may have no interest in me but that is another story.....LOL
If anything, I'd expect older women to be more needful of a man as many had more old-fashioned values.
Maybe so. But I do remember when I was a kid, there were "spinsters"--old ladies who had never married and didn't need a man. I actually had two great aunts who were sisters, lived together, even when one died the other carried on just fine. "Old maids" is what they were called in those days.
But I somewhat agree that most of us who were raised back in the 50s did expect to get married. Most of us also expected to have a career and to have kids. (I opted out of the kids expectation.) It was the burden of having at least two full time jobs that drove us up a wall.
Yes, I think most of us were raised to expect the companionship of a man. The eye opener/deal breaker was that when we found out we were supposed to wait on this man. Huh?

Maybe you're living in the wrong place. There are plenty of women that age who take care of themselves, dress attractively, eat right, exercise. A woman age 35 or so is not going to be seriously interested in you. I've seen it time and time again with the men I dated when I was in my early 60s. The men fell for these pretty young things and the pretty young things were only after their money. One guy even sponsored a beautiful foreign girl and paid big time to get her into this country. That's all she wanted--after one year was up, off she went, leaving him behind. Even after she left, she'd call him up asking for money! (I left him too. I didn't care about his money. I wanted someone more sensible.)
60 may be the new 40 , but 9pm is the new midnight
I do have a persistent 'little' 42 year old that won't give up.
It's hilarious when he messages me and says "Meet me at the Such & Such Lounge at 10 on Tuesday "

I imagine there may be a man or two who've read this thread saying huh? Whatcha mean, you women live to wait on us men lol.
My uncle, 85 years old believes woman belong in the kitchen and are for procreation. He calls all woman stupid and very outspoken about how he thinks. Before my dad got sick and was going to help me with college he told my dad not to waste his money sending me to college. hmm, and he wonders what are wrong with women and why he couldn't find what he calls "a good woman".
I went to an easter dinner up in the mountains. The woman were all in the kitchen the guys sitting watching TV. Dinner was ready and all the men got up and to the dining room table, not one seat left for the woman.
I was surprised at this as the woman (my husband and BIL) stood there when one of the wive's who could see my surprise whispered, this is how they do it here. The men and boys eat first. There they sat grubbing, first helping, second helping, not a concern for the woman who cooked it. After dinner the men retired back to the living room, everyone else sat down to eat and then cleaned up. DH was smart to wait lol.

That would probably make most of those folks you're referring to in their late 60s-mid 70s now. I'm probably thinking of people who were that age fifteen or twenty years ago when I was a kid.
