Never in a million years did I have the faintest clue that I would be starting to date again at age 60! I didn't even like the stress of dating back IN the 60's...the heartthrob I wanted to go out with then wouldn't ask...and the guys that I just wanted to be friends with, would call all the time and ask me to "go steady"!! How frustrating is that!! And now that the dating pool is merely a small puddle for ladies of my age...it is even more stressful. Either the men I meet have so-o-o-o-o much excess baggage that they should have multiple hernias or they are looking for a "wife-for-a night" (NOT Interested!!) instead of the "queen for a day" that I want to be treated like!!
Don't get me wrong...I'm sure if I was thinner, more in shape, financially comfortable and in better health...my choices may increase. But whatever happened to the men out there that could accept me for who I am...regardless of my flaws? If I am willing to lower my requirements at this age...from rich to at least working; from buff to able to walk up a flight of stairs without a coronary; from a thick dark curly head of hair to a little thinning gray hair or at least a clean shaven head; from a dynamite personality to someone who makes me smile every once in a while; from the whole fairy tale to companionship, happiness and someone to hold my hand...why isn't there someone out there willing to do the same?
