[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a PhD and a JD, own my law firm, own a beautiful home, and have a wide range of interests. 
I am almost 50 y.o. and trying to date after a long marriage. Strangely, the guys 10+ years older than me seem to be drawn primarily to my ability and willingness to put a lot of effort into them, which from their point of view translates to caregiving and getting done everything in day-to-day life. I get to hear a lot about their health issues.

Quite disappointing... At this stage of my life dating is very different than 25 years ago when it was all about building a family and a future together.

Anybody else had this experience?

At the same time, I am not willing to date men much younger than me. Not interested in casual affairs with 30 somethings.

Men my age seem to want to date only younger...[/quote]

Date someone younger by at least 15 years. You can impress them and you can also have control over the relationship. Younger men are more likely to be impressed with what you have accomplished. They are also more likely to listen to your needs and meet them.

I say this as a 50 years old man. I'm the worst fit for you for the reasons you listed.

Good luck. [/quote]
