Another comment to make my point

"I confess, a couple of years ago before I was wise enough to give up on dating, I tried match.com...what a mistake. The old coots are always looking for women 20 years younger - it seemed 99% of the men "my age" (55 at the time) were only interested in women no older than 35 and of course they had to be "athletic" and in perfect shape. The only men who would consider dating some old bag like me were at least 10 years older than me - but of course their prospect woman had to still be "athletic" and in great shape."

Right. Exactly. We may be old coots but we get the 35 year olds-well, not me that's usually a little too old. So you gave up on dating. Good, another one who finally gets it.
