Men are looking for...?
The honest answer is: sex; sex; and more sex.

Not this:

If that's what you want I suggest to buy it here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mustang_Ranch

That way it's a clear transaction. And you will likely be more satisfied buying it from a professional.

And, they don't get the house when you leave.

You make some good points. However, I don't like the idea of sharing a woman. In a brothel, the woman is being shared with many men. As far as satisfaction, it the woman has an open mind and is willing to learn what the man wants, the sex is probably better at home.

The idea is, a relationship is sterile without sex. Assuming both elderly are still capable of having sex, the woman shouldn't be surprised it the man leaves, if he hasn't been getting any. As far as saying looks don't matter, it is not that hard for the woman, or man, to clean themselves up, get a haircut, wear some decent clothes, and still look appealing.

When Mimi Rogers was asked why she divorced Tom Cruise, she said he had come to her, and told her he didn't want to have sex with her any more, he wanted to live like a monk. So she kicked his ass to the curb.

I think it takes a whole lot more than just "clean themselves up, get a haircut, wear some decent clothes" to be appealing to a spouse, lover, or companion.

And often one needs to be emotionally appealing to a partner or companion for physical affection to take place.

I agree. I have perhaps more knowledge of this business of bodily appeal than some people because my ex-wife and I belonged to a nudist resort decades ago. There is a certain point, weight-wise, beyond which no amount of grooming and stylish clothes will suffice. If you haven't been there and seen what I've seen, then you can't rebut my assertion. Suffice it to say that gross is gross. Period.


And notice I did not refer to one gender or the other. It cuts both ways.

What they are always looking for, sex and cooking. Why would it change?

FWIW, I can cook and think I am better than average - I like what I make - but most of my cooking is geared towards simple, quick but good stuff like steak and onions prepared in a skillet, omelets, things like that. I really try to prepare 1 or 2 servings in microwave to table, table to dishwasher, mostly glass vessels.

DW tends more to making casseroles and soups, all quite good. She tends to make a big pot of soup, eat some, give me some, then put in the fridge and we will eat on it for close to a week.

What I do not like to do, is do dishes manually. I just don't like to do it, I can do it, and will if necessary, but don't much like it.

That is what dishwashers were invented for.

To me washing dishes by hand is like digging a ditch by hand, when I have a perfectly good backhoe available.

When I was in grad school, I had a decent kitchen in my apartment, but tended to eat out over at Junior's Grill near Georgia Tech (Junior's is now closed, but they were a standby of the Tech crowd for decades). This was partly to get more variety of food than I wanted to cook and clean up after, and partly for the socialization, both with other patrons and the Junior's crew, who were quite engaging.
