I would like to point out that many 27 year old women would find you way too old . So while men might want a younger woman, there is a type of younger woman who is only attracted to a man so much older. I thinking because you will “take” care of her. My daughter is 25 and she would call 43 an old man – like her fathers friends age. She prefers a young virile man around her age.
As a widow at 58 I would prefer a man my age or a bit younger because most men havent taken care of their health. And I dont want to be their nurse.
Financially, I dont need a mans money which is actually difficult because most men I meet are not financially secure.

Same goes for men, regardless of looks or anything else. Leave the past in the past.

Women need to have more than just anger, damage, and arrogance to bring to the party even if they are HOT! That is true at any age.

Anyway, I have to agree with what Erika and Carl said. I dated a bunch before meeting the woman I’m with now and what I found was that there are a ton of women that turn dating in to more of a shopping experience. They would even have numbered lists of requirements right in their profiles. Now, I can understand things like religion and stuff but some of these lists were absurd. The point is that many of the woman dating these days are flooded with a ton of men and start sifting through them like they would clothing on a rack, and as such start applying filtering criteria to help them sort. Not entirely a bad thing but they soon forget that relationships are about compatibility and forming connections, not what color his eyes are or if he is 6′ tall vs 5’9″. Successful woman have more problems as well in that they often forget about the things that men are attracted to, such as softness, femininity and simply letting the man be the man. The biggest issue I found though was that many women in my age group of mid 30s to early 40s simply never learned how to form connections or be in a long term relationship. Divorced women seemed to be the exception.

I feel I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the biggest complaint I heard from women during my dating, and that was that a lot of men weren’t looking for a relationship, but instead something more casual. Many expressed frustration and disgust with encountering and trying to filter out such men.

While I respect what you’re saying, I cannot agree that “SINGLE women who are my age or older lack the femininity and loving characteristics that younger women possess.” This is simply not true. Also not true: Fertility diminishes significantly at age 30. This article wasn’t at all about age. It was about looking at a person as a well-rounded being and not a resume.

Sounds like we have a cynic on our hands.

My pleasure.

Your late 50’s woman client wants a “financially secure” man to pay for “international experiences”. Affluent men in their 50’s will choose younger women. Older men will be retired. Pick your poison – older sugar daddies, 50’s men struggling to pay child support, or cats.
