Am 52 and on Match - found out what they want - a 35 year old

A compatable situationship. I'm a happily divorced 61yo male in a 4year situationship with a happily divorced 62yo female. In our case compatibility is key, as we both are in tune with each others likes and dislikes, and share the same life views including music, travel, food, political views, activities etc... not to mention, we have an amazing sex life. We know were never going to get married as we've both said never again. I think what makes our situation work is that she has her own career, house, car, money, investments as do I. While we do spend a lot of time together and share expenses treating each other, at the end of the day I don't have to support her and she doesn't have to support me as we each have our own home to go to. While this arrangement isn't perfect for everyone it works for us.

I have been divorced since 2002 and most of the men like to play. They haven't worked on themselves and know that there are a lot of available women and keep moving on. So I have learned to be alone and content. Dating is a huge disappoint

I didn't know to ask this question when I started dating. After my wife passed, I was literally lost. Interestingly, I found the person that matches all I wanted, without knowing I wanted all she offered. Physical, emotional, intellectual, spiritual. Communication... Maturity. I know I'm lucky to have found someone I am so compatible with, so perfectly matched. Wants, needs, desires, plans for the future, foods we match at, music, movies, books, travel... And yes, sex... We can barely wait to see each other when we can't be together, and since we LAT presently, our time together is precious. We recently spent the weekend in Las Vegas, and came away from this trip with a better understanding of our future together. She has become my peace. How can anything be better than that? Your recent Limerance segment gave me a bit of pause, but I realized we passed therough the "limerance" phase man months ago. Infatuation, lust, desire, are changed now, different than our first months dating. We are 20 months into this relationship, every trip is a journey, an adventure. Every moment is perfect, and leads to more moments.

The more you work on yourself the better relationship choices you will make. As always it's more about you

Down here in retirement-area Arizona, a common saying of what many men are looking for is "a nurse and a purse".

I like calm and quiet. Going to the library and reading a book is enjoyable.

I have been a widower for several years after losing my beautiful wife of 30 years. I have become accustomed to living on my own, traveling and spending time enjoying my hobbies and hanging out with friends and family. Personally, I have no desire to date but I commend those who continue to seek companionship and happiness.

If I have reached 50 and I still have to ask what I want, then I am probably not ready to be in a relationship and I should stay single. I see so many guys who are so needy that they will compromise what they want just to have a woman in their life. All healthy relationships include trust, respect, honesty and a mutual desire to want the other person to be happy. If I do not have good communication skills to ask the questions then I am my own worst enemy.

Someone who cooks well and loves to cook.
Someone who loves them for who they are.
Someone who is innately kind.
Someone who is honest.
Someone who is interesting to spend time with
Oh wait... both men and women want the same attributes.

As a man in his 70s.. been married twice. Back in the dating pool. What I want is a woman that gives me peace in my life without drama. Someone that is loving compatible and easy going.

I’m 69. I want women to be polite, not sarcastic, not rude and considerate of my feelings. Sex would be nice but not essential.

Robert has a good grasp on this material. He touches on still having life goals post-retirement that don't involve being glued to the couch watching Netflix all day and getting fat(ter). My sweetie says one of the things that draws her to me is that I have ambitions of things I want to accomplish in this stage of life. She says so many men she meets through the apps have no goals in retirement except to drink beer and not think about anything important. Or all they want to do is play golf, which she is not interested in. I appreciate that she appreciates that in me, and it brings us closer. She came out to watch me play a softball game for the first time last week, and it meant a lot to me. Of course I botched a few plays because she was there. We are planning our first travel together in a few weeks.

My motorcycle doesn't cheat, creates no drama, doesn't b1tch, makes no demands, and has an off switch.

I left a comment about men needing to grow up. Neglected to say that I so appreciate this channel and the beautiful energy behind it!

Older men want a nurse with a purse. A caregiver into their old age.

[halfcentury]

Speaking as a 57yo - NO DRAMA, a companion and friend - definitely need someone who gets being a parent. I would also say life experiences and expectations are uber-important. Also I don't want to feel like an ATM...

[flopoirer]

Great conversation, thank you! It would be great to see a video on how to make a relationship last after 50

I fell in love with a man I met online who is 10 years younger than I am. He will be 56 in September but he has had a “player” rep online and admitted to being “unhappily married” and that he and his wife swing. Plus they party a lot like teenagers. That is sad. I think he now is realizing why he was doing that. He told me he has “trust issues”. And he is a poor communicator who is not in touch at all with his feelings. But I could see behind his mask and see a very sensitive tender guy. There was a very strong energetic connection between us even online. He knows I am not into any of that. He flirted with me AND his wife has too! Talk about confusing! I am very empathic and psychic so I tend to see his “higher self” or “true self”. I think I scare him because he feels vulnerable around me because of that. He knows I won’t put up with his “lower self”.
