I don't think that getting old takes away our youth. Still, it seems that cynicism tends to encourage us to give away our youthful ambitions. Past hurts and frustrations can either stop us in our tracks or it can give us wisdom on how to proceed. So nowadays, I look for wisdom in others and when I don't see it, I know that ain't the one for me. Along with that, I tend to see more wisdom in older ladies... sometimes. (I also see some that have merely perfected foolishness )

I think the men in our age group are more interested in dating women 10-20 years younger than themselves, making them fool themselves that they are that young also. Unfortunately I would rather date someone closer to my age, but only get interest mostly from men 10-15 years my senior. That bums me out, i would just like to be around someone who we have the same frame of reference. When I was younger, wasn't interested in dating someone that much older than me and still aren't. Oh well...their loss . I completely agree

Why would a man my age want to date a younger woman? They're good for fun but not intimacy. I have no desire to be a father again as I wouldn't live long enough to last my kids growing up. I think it is the attitude of older women that make it hard for them. And the attitude of older men as well.

Cause we're old, and jaded. I don't think we're old & jaded. We're only middle aged by today's standards & anyway, you're only as old as you feel. It seems to me that most men just want the Barbie Doll type women. That's just my opinion since that's what I've found.

ATTITUDE makes more differance than age.

The question was, "Why is it so hard for older women to find love?" "It's not." Older women don't have any more of a problem than younger women. Whether they attract someone usually depends on their personality, confidence and sense of humor. Often times, the baggage they carry with them is hard to let go of and prevents them from moving beyond. Now we meet people online...online dating is the thing to do. Dating is so different than it was back in the forties and fifties but there was no guarantees even then, so few marriages were long term, what you would call good marriages.

Got news for you ladies. It's no different for us lesbians! You hit a certain age and its all over. While I have no age or race preference, MATURITY is a definite must! But I will continue to hang in there as we all should.

Usually depends on how much baggage they are willing to except from the Man they meet.

I've read quite a few of the comments. Maybe true Maybe not. I've been searching myself for awhile. Being a man getting responses where the women only want a "Handsome" younger man to date. This coming from 48 to 60 year olds. Jaded i'm not. Open I am. It , in my opinion , is only made as hard as the person looking makes it. Can't tell everything about someone by a profile only. Plus when you never get a chance to actually communicate. You never find out. Again only my opinion.

I cannot fathom older women actually wanting a younger man..I had a relationship like that one time. I had just turned 62 and he was 42. An absolutely wonderful man, fun loving, interesting, and a wonderful lover..I was the problem..I was the one that could not get over the fact he was close to the age of my children..I couldn't bring him home to meet my family..and I kept trying to get him a younger girlfriend!! We are still very much friends and I will always treasure our time together, but that is one mental block I cannot get over!

Some of my best and worst relationships have been with younger men...For me it is not about age, it's about connecting...I don't actively look for age specific partners because when I think of men in terms of what I am attracted to, age does not make the list for reasons beyond showing respect to friends and family and operating within specific "personal" moral boundaries....

Young women wouldn't hang with me for long. What 25 or 30 year old would want to go to bed at 8:30 and get up at 5:00?

I think it is the attitude of older women that make it hard for them. And the attitude of older men as well. can you expand on the attitude reference...I think you may have something there but I don;t know what you mean...do you mean our attitudes toward each other?
