[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP again. Just pointing out the obvious but you are probably mostly dating  retired men, they have left the world of work behind or soon will.  So they are much less interested in the professional sphere and are basically looking for a woman who still wants to have sex and will be a nice companion for them.  [/quote]

OP here. That may be true, but their lack of empathy bothers me. They don't seem to recognize that my profession is a big part of my life. There are no questions about how my day was at the office, what my current issues are, what work changes am I grappling with.[/quote]
Stay away from these losers. As you should've learned from your divorce, it is better to be alone than badly accompanied. You're too old and you should be too smart to be trying to modify yourself to cater to some jerk or "relaxing" your expectations to accommodate a market full of narcissists. You should only be settling down if the man who fits who you are and exactly what will make you happy shows up. So, spend a lot of time thinking about who would fit you and go to therapy if you're not sure. Then make sure whoever you end up with next is that person. [/quote]
