[quote=Anonymous][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]
Unfortunately, today's American men are the most selfish, incompetent, narcissistic, and entitled bunch in human history. Many of them really are not fit for human consumption. The answer is not to relax your standards or let some leech attach himself to you and make you unhappy. The answer is to hold fast to your standards and understand that being single is a lot better than what most women are facing currently, which is an epidemic of parasitic males who suck the life out of you and give nothing back.
