Screen by age. Do not meet anyone over 52.

I was age 49 dating and did not encounter your problems.

The men I dated all worked jobs and expected to still be working for another 20 years.

Don't go on and on about your business and your law degree.  Don't go on and on about your varied interests.  Keep things very light. Ask the men open ended questions about themselves.

Let the man be a man.  Have the man pick your first meeting place. You can always suggest something different but let the man take the lead. Let the man arrange your first 5 dates.

The men I met were all fit and vibrant and educated working men with jobs.  Not once did anyone complain about their health.   Again, I screened for age and did not meet anyone over 52.

Avoid dating men in their 60's.  Date men age 45-52.  You will meet fewer men but you won't waste your time with the old guys.

Be open to meeting men from all walks of life.
Keep things light initially. Have low expectations.  Have a nice evening out.

In your profile I'd downplay the whole PHd, law business, beautiful home etc. I'd post that you own a business OR you work in the legal industry.

If you mention your PHd, Law degree, fancy home ownership etc that is intimidating to a lot of decent men who have a bachelor's degree, are fit, work good jobs and don't have health issues.

Your goal is to meet a large swath of men age 45-52.

Take a look at your profile and modify it. I understand you are a highly accomplished woman but you don't want to be intimidating to men that are fit. Don't engage with anyone over 52.

Be open to meeting men with a batchelors degree.

If you are online dating understand it is very unrealistic for a 50 year old woman to meet a man online who owns multiple business, second homes etc. Those men do not even make it to the online dating market. They get snatched up quickly once they are divorced by women in their circle.

Modify your profile and change your approach and you should meet plenty of healthy, fit engaged and active men in your age bracket.
