Not saying you don't look good for your age, but I'm 63, and it seems most women my age look like my aunt.

Theres truth to this. Younger women are gravitating towards older men because the new generation of men are being heavily influenced by the Alpha male/red pill culture that Andrew Tate and his ilk preach. What the last generation of women brought on themselves, the new generation of men are starting to bring on themselves, and a new generation of women who are embracing more traditional roles are finding it difficult to form relationships with men their age. Perhaps the older women should get with the younger men and they can play their bullshite games together. I'll keep my younger girlfriend who likes to do things for me over a "girlboss" closer to my age.
I date women within my age bracket +/- 7 years. Women 10 years younger than me are too immature - we have nothing in common and I learned along time ago that overprioritizing looks and compliance can get you in a world of trouble. I want someone that can reason, not a doormat. Respect is a basis for love…if I can’t respect you there’s a high chance I’ll never love you.
I think there’s a lot of toxicity in traditional masculinity but if fine tuned appropriately, with a mix of new school attitudes, you should be fine in dating. Having an abundance mentality, having great health, your own life, hobbies and desires outside women and sex, and never feeling like you own her or that she owes you will bring you a world of peace and bunch of women. They deserve to be free to make their own decisions just like us. When you find someone aligned with you on your values and mentality it makes life so much better.

All I would want now is just someone who wants to have fun. Travel, go to sports events and concerts., dinner, etc. Everybody pays their own way.
For now. But the moment you get serious about some guy, you will revert to your (and every other woman's) old ways of being controlling and manipulative. Its the female nature. As women, you have the innate need to provide. But its not limited to simply being nurturing. You have to be in control of every aspect. So when you see your "man" having fun or enjoying himself and you are not the source of his happiness, you get jealous (based on your fear of not being needed) and start the typical bullshite that men find so annoying and ruins the relationship.
You may go into a relationship with the " I just want everyone to have fun" philosophy, but at some point you will resent his having fun if it isn't sourced from or because of you. Every woman is the same with this.

had this discussion with a divorced woman months ago, and I don't really remember how it came about but the question posed was along the lines of if I were looking for a woman what would I look for?
When a woman asks you this question, it might as well be a confession. Women only ask this question when they’re into you and want to know if you’re potentially into them. They’re gauging your answer to see if they fit into the mold of the hypothetical woman you describe, and (if they know any of your exes) checking to see if you might still be too hung up over an ex girlfriend (indicated by you describing them too clearly).
If they only sorta like you, a description that matches them will give them validation, but won’t inspire action (you might still have a shot with them, but they’re not going to make a move), while an answer that doesn’t match them will cause them to lose interest entirely.
If they’re crushing hard, a description that matches them will overwhelm them, causing them to either blurt out a clumsy move (usually only happens when drunk), disappear for a while (distancing themselves because they’re too overwhelmed emotionally to think straight or too scared of connection) but come back, or be confident and start making more obvious “handkerchief drops” to get you to ask them out.
If she’s super into you, but doesn’t match the description, she’ll be devastated, but she’ll start changing herself in subtle ways until she feels like she fits that mold. She might change her hair, pick up new hobbies, research things you like, etc. If you described an ex, she might e-stalk your ex and start imitating her fashion choices.
You may have dodged a bullet, but you may also have missed a solid chance to connect with someone interested in you.

Interesting what you think you know.
My husband and I often did things with our friends, not with each other. I think it's a sign of a very healthy relationship to be able to do your own thing. We fought about things as do every couple, but it was never, ever over being jealous or spending time doing other things. He had a hunting lease and was there many weekends in the fall. Not a problem as long as he didn't want me to go to the lease and cook for them. I have plenty things to do on my own. I did not need him for my happiness. Instead, I wanted to share things with him. Believe me, I don't need to be needed. That's the absolute last thing I want. My husband was the emotional one in our relationship. I'm a CPA, so therefore very logical in my thinking. Fastest way to run me off is to talk about feelings all the time. I don't need anyone and think that's how everyone should feel. Why would anyone want to be with a needy person? We should all want someone who wants us, not needs us. I have never understood why someone wants a man to take care of them. Hell, I can do that myself!

I know it’s tough for you to read. But context matters sometimes, especially for the blind and those that need help. Like the thread starter.

I don't think I know that. I know I know that. I have watched it happen in every single relationship I've ever witnessed. Whether those relationships lasted or they didn't. Its not a slight towards you personally, its a fact regarding the female sex. You may not be as ardent as other woman, but I promise you, you have the same tendencies and traits. Don't worry, men have their unique, universal, faults too! But men generally are more honest in recognizing those faults and owning them. Women not so much. As proven by your denial here. "Everyone else does that, but not me!"

We never needed you to be perfect.
The countless complaints about husbands and boyfriends from women posting from their own little silos on social media beg to differ.
"He has to be perfect, queen. Know your worth, queen. Oh he forgot to treat you like a princess? Break up with him!
The pain for men isn't rejection - that's not why they are avoiding "intimacy". The risk they face is getting attached to a complete narcisist that, in a long term relationship, would make their life miserable. Most men would rightfully rather be lonely than end up with one of the many duds out there.
Good or even average women who appreciate their male partner are very rare these days. If you find one, put a ring on her - but make sure she's not masking a truly selfish personality. I'm lucky in this area, but so many of my friends are not....

The woman that asked you that is 100% interested in you.
You say you like girls that wear heals - she'll wear heals until you notice. You say you like girls who are into Game of Thrones - she'll start binging it.

Then, they have made up this completely unrealistic image of what a guy is supposed to be like and they believe that they will find that guy.
They can’t objectify men like that and expect to find one. If they do, they will risk him wising up and leaving. He will get lonely and his eyes will wonder to the first woman that appreciates him.
And there are good women out there. Most are taken.

Women have developed such an inflated sense of worth in their minds that they have demanded much more than they deserve.
That's because women get their sense of worth by what their female friends tell them and from simps sliding into their DMs trying to get laid. Hoe_math covers this pretty well. A woman who's a 5 might get Chad the 9 to bang her at closing time after a few cocktails, but he never calls again. Unfortunately, this puts the idea into her head that she's a 9 too now. No, lady. A dude that's used to fine dining on filet mignon and lobster tail will still have a burger on occasion. You were the burger.

Black people bitch constantly about slavery and racism - but no one wants to leave and go live in fricking Benin or Senegal. Everyone bitches about illegal immigrants being rounded up by ICE - but no one wants to go back to Mexico. Women “don’t need no man” as long as cars, air conditioning, grocery stores, construction crews, and law enforcement are around - but when the world was savage or the shite hits the fan, it’s a different tune. The white man led the way in taming the world and is vilified for it because getting here wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows - as if every other race or civilization would have used a significant technological advantage to spread peace and prosperity around the world 500 years ago. Yeah, you betcha. But without the influence of the white man over the course of civilization, this world would be centuries (if not millennia) behind in terms of freedom and technology. The white man in this world is like a father with a bunch of spoiled, entitled children who don’t know how good they have it.
Damn.
Wall of text but it’s not inaccurate.
