Her arrogance was not in the fact that she didnt wish to date him, it was in her name-calling and obvious insecurity. She fears she cant do better than him. And it says nowhere that this guy did anything wrong, besides asking someone out. A secure, attractive woman would be flattered and let him down gently. And admire the old coot for his guts.

Lol at women our moms age. We dont even want women our own age.

Nothing is flattering about being hit on by much older men. If anything, an insecure woman is the one who would be flattered by that. There are plenty of women their ages around to date. Definitely don't want the guy who devalues women as they age, given we're all going to be old one day, if we're lucky. I'd rather a guy my age who will love me flaws and all, as we age.

Maybe they are confident, comfortable, beyond being needy and you are misinterpreting mild flirtation with something more serious. Lighten up enjoy the people you meet. A friendly greeting, a gentle smile, and genuine compliment are are just a part of gracious living, not a marriage proposal.

Just annoyed that I have to defend why I don't want to go out.

Ditto, ditto, ditto. Just say "no" and have fun. Frankly, maybe a friendly 35 y.o. would suit you nicely. I have several friends who dated and/or married men 5-10 years younger. Why? Cause they asked. Go for what you like.

Actually, you do, because youre a 40 year old woman with no ring on her finger. That makes you a small minority. Especially if youre white.

Let this be a lesson to the 30 year old women who think they have all the time in the world. You dont.

Yes, you do, ladies. There are single 30 y.o. men all over the DMV! Have fun!

Hey guys... we make $$$$ now too. Tables turned bitches.

Im sorry, were you under the impression men care about that?

I'll echo a couple of previous comments - are you certain the 60 y.o. a@@ is really "hitting" on you, or possibly just being overly gentlemanly and gracious? This is part of the arrogance to which I earlier refered. The assumption that kind-of youth confers an irresistible lure to age. Maybe to a few men, but to the ones I know, not so much. Whether or not the 60 y.o. a@@ actually did hit on her is immaterial; it's the disgust, the "how dare he" that also struck me as arrogant.

And FWIW, I'm only 60 in dog years. My balls are taught, shiny, and freshly shorn like a couple of Chicago pool hall 8 balls

There are a lot of single 40 year old women in DC. I bet in 6 months you will be all over this 60 year old after seeing the single men in their 40's.

+1:The bitter posters are probably old crusty dudes who can’t get any ass.

Yep. I can't believe the OP is getting called arrogant. It's hilarious.

I'm 41 and I wouldn't want to date a 60-year-old either. My dad is only 67, and I can't imagine having a ton in common with a 60-year-old, especially since I have a young child.

OP, I think it's important that you keep your options open and don't rule out guys just on age. Some 55-year-old guy who looks and acts young might come along and really be a good fit - you never know. But I totally get where you're coming from. I would never hit on someone 20 years younger, and it's weird to me when guys do. and it makes me scared for when I'm in my 50's- will all the men my age still be trying to hit on 30-somethings? Hang in there.
