[quote=Anonymous][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]

Strong independent woman like you don't need no man. Why are your dating? [/quote]

OP here. I, too, like almost everybody, crave companionship and affection. It's not hard to understand, I think. I shouldn't be doomed to being alone merely because I can provide for myself. [/quote]
