[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]     Guy pushing 60 and looks like marriage may be ending.   Look and feel much younger than my chronological age, but (I know this sounds bad, but. . .) am concerned that most folks my age (men and women, but only interested in women) look so much older and I'm just not attracted to them, and most women 10 years or more younger will run for the hills based on my age in an online world,  Any guys out there with advice in the 60/early 60s range?  Any women out there closer to 50 with whether they would date someone 10 or 10+ years older and, if so, what would (or did) make you interested in that?[/quote]

Hard one to answer.  What worked for me (late 60s M looking for 50s, 60s women) are good pics — I’ve aged well and I made sure that I used the most flattering AND recent pics.  I also dated the pics and showed both face and body (helps to wear black heh heh).  Additionally, and I think this is extremely important, I created a word picture using both heart felt feelings and humor.  Made sure that my language became my friend as I described myself and what I was looking for.  These two items are what attracted LOTS of attention and because I didn’t lie in my profile women gave me a check mark in the “honest guy” column upon meeting.

Did I find the luv of my life?  Well no, still looking.  Many factors — such as compatibility, disinterest on both our parts, internal questions about wisdom of taking it forward and yes some women looked older — all are a factor but you know what looks while still important took on less of a significance if she smiled a lot, enjoyed mischievous eye to eye contact and oozed happiness and kindness towards me (you know the advice our grandmas use to give us).

Don’t know if I’ll ever remarry but going forward I see the possibility of a special woman in my life.[/quote]
I absolutely agree with you - some things are a lot more important than age! [/quote]
