This one is in the 1% fellas.
LaLady, you are unique, thus you will get pushback here because we are used to the 99% that this OP fits. That one statement alone.....there aren't many like you.
You are going to make another man happy one day. You are one of the few exceptions to the rule.

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.
I used to think this way too until I met my wife (second marriage). First wife, as well as many women I dated after divorce fit the profile outlined in the OP. There are exceptions to the rule and you have to be open to that. If not, you won't find her.

Shallow women are exhausting. You cannot make them happy because what they want (to make them happy) is always changing.
Ignore the herd. You are above it.
This looks-maxxing/money-maxxing etc is so shallow and stupid.
Find depth and meaning in something that builds the world and the rest will follow.
Stop making money and getting fit for women.
Stop trying to be a spectacle for social media and find something that sets you ablaze apart of western pop culture theater.
These obsessive fitness influencers and such are every bit as fragile and feminine. The constant obsession with trying to be "seen" is cringe.

The memes of the online dating profiles of white chicks with 3 black kids looking for a 'serious relationship' are hilarious.

You have to use discernment.
We're a lot smarter later in life, so that's easy ri say now.
And if she's been divorced 2x, run for the hills. That is good advice for women, too.

Which men are you talking about who want a "sugar mama, a caretaker, a cook and a housekeeper"? I find it hard to believe that 'the men' that women like you want (men in their 60's as well, who have their shite together, physically/mentally/financially)....are looking for a "sugar mama, a caretaker, a cook and a housekeeper". 'Those guys'....probably are looking for women younger than you. 'Those guys'....are in HUGE demand (even by younger women...as well as women your age).
Since you are widowed and glowed about your 34 year old marriage...I assume that you're pretty 'well off financially' (if so, good for you). However, MOST MEN (regardless of their age) are not 'well off financially'. In reality, there are men 'your age' who ARE NOT looking for "a sugar mama, a caretaker, a cook and a housekeeper". However, most of these guys ARE NOT well off financially. Now does that mean that they are broke? Of course not. However, most men your age who are single (who are decent guys)....probably were wrecked during a divorce. While they may not be broke, they aint rich either.
You might want to think about how much it costs to do the things that you want to do....and consider how much it would cost 'the average guy' to 'go dutch' with you on activities/dates, etc. While money may not be an issue for you.....you might want to do the math when it comes to what % of the male population (men your age) who potentially have the kind of disposable income you may have.
There are good, decent men out there around your age who would be open to a meaningful, committed, monogamous relationship. Just because some of these guys may not be able to afford doing the things that you like to do....does not mean that they want to leech off you! There are plenty of things to do that are low cost (or even free). It's the quality of the time you spend together...NOT how much it costs to do something.
When I was much younger, I dated a lady who made significantly more money than me at that time. I told her that I had no problem with her making really good money....and that I wasnt looking to leech off her. I said that I'm ok with doing things and paying my share...as long as it was affordable. However if she wanted to do something pricey with me....she'd have to pay, lol. She said, no problem. I never expected her to do so....I just was upfront with her in the beginning.
I feel that when it comes to dating...most women really have a hard time reconciling the math when it comes to potentially what % of men out there are able to satisfy the checkmarks they are seeking in a man...AS WELL as what their competition is for 'those guys'. Most women just assume that the type of man they are looking for 'grow on trees' AND that 'that guy' is only looking for a woman like her, lol.
You listed what you were looking for. Did you even ponder the above? Or...did you just take the "I know what I want...why is it so hard to find it" position?
I dont care how old a woman is (whether early 20's...or early 60's)....most of you are basically looking for the SAME TYPE OF GUY (who tend to be a very small % of men out there). 'Those guys'....have all the leverage in the world..because you ladies GIVE IT TO THEM! 'Those guys'....literally have their pick of the litter! Why should/would 'those guys' only pick one?
Most men....have a hard enough time getting ONE female to pay them the time of day! Most men....do not have the option to cheat! However, the small % of men that most of you ladies want.....know that in reality, they are 'the prize'...not you ladies! When something is 'rare'...it's valuable! So yes, if women like you want 'that guy'....you're likely going to have to be willing to be compliant with what he wants (or he'll likely ghost you and pick from the plethora of options that guys like him have to choose from who are more than willing to be on his program).

If what you are saying about yourself (you being the logical/factual one who is not emotional at all)...then you are indeed The Exception to The Rule...NOT The Rule (when it comes to how emotional/moody/bored/needs to be entertained and constantly validated women are)!
You have to understand what most men are used to dealing with when it comes to most women...and not take it personally if a guy you happen to be interested in is initially 'jaded' when it comes to being weary of a woman being 'that way'. If you stay consistent and show that you arent 'that woman'...then you should not have a problem attracting a decent guy.
Believe me....most guys 'notice' a woman who isnt 'that woman' IF she's willing to be a little patient in the getting to know someone stage of dating.

I dont deal with the 'opposite sex' anymore. I gave up dating (or any hope of ever getting married) back in 2007 (when I was 35) because I got tired of dealing with women who kept giving me shite for watching football on Sundays. I couldnt put my finger on it at the time....I just knew that there was an imbalance in dating that left me unsatisfied.
Fast forward to 2025 (I'm 53 now) and I literally live life on Easy Mode! No drama, no stress, no angst in my life...while coming home to a peaceful home each and every day! I have plenty of free time to partake in activities that bring me actual pleasure without having to explain/justify myself to some emotional/moody/impossible to please female. My expenses are low...I'm more than able to live within my means.
It's amazing how easy life is..when a man gives up chasing tail! I love the freedom I have to say what's on my mind/keeping it real.
And yes, I am totally right when it comes to what you quoted me as saying. The three phrases you listed...hit the nail on the head when it comes to modern day females. And here's one more: "Most women would rather believe a comfortable lie, than a painful truth".

bullshite, in my anecdotal experience of 25+ dates on dating apps with girls I found attractive that I'd date, they always ghosted after either 1st, 2nd, or 3rd date. They were the ones that didn't want a connection. They were too big of pussies, and when push came to shove, they always back out of meeting on apps because it "feels unnatural". They don't say that, but I know that is what it is because the failure rate for all men is exponentially lower meeting in person vs on apps.
