And I'm approaching my upper twenties 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆 this made me laugh so hard I almost 💩 . I'm 58 this year and let me tell u there r a lot of lonely men out there ! Like u I'm always friendly and polite 😬 it's a tightrope 🙄 . U have to b so careful of the words u use . I had been into town shopping and I had bought a small side table . I was walking through my local shopping mall carrying it , when a male neighbour of mine who I frequently exchange small talk with , came over to me and said : hi , r u on your own ? It seemed a silly question to me as I was obviously by myself , I thought maybe he was going to offer to carry the table for me . So , I said yes I am . He took a piece of paper out if his pocket , gave me it and said : give me a call sometime and we can go out to dinner 😲 . I was stunned , the paper had his phone number on it . Also , another neighbour , single man at least ten years younger than me , has been chatting to me regularly for about 15 years , we bonded over cats . Just last Christmas , for the first time ever he sent me a Christmas card calling me a ' cute lass ' ! 😬 With his phone number in it . I did not respond and suddenly I don't bump into him any more . He's just vanished . I think it's because no one sees me with my husband very often . He is a writer who works from home and he's also agoraphobic , so it's fair to say he doesn't get out much . Even the sight of my wedding ring doesn't deter . I also think that if a man is single and getting on in years he can b a bit more daring in approaching women . The clock is ticking and he doesn't want to b alone in his old age , I don't blame men for that , or women . So , if u r even only marginally attractive , u will b getting attention from men no matter how old u get . They never give up ! 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆

It's definitely a peculiar thing.
Young women are called gold diggers; and in my time as part of the dating pool, older men do seem to like much younger women (not always, but this is most common in the circles I've been in.)
However, after men reach a certain age, I've heard the saying that they are "looking for a nurse, or a purse, or both."
My parents live in a retirement center. My Mom was telling me about a recent problem with a man whose wife died I think about a year ago, and he was borderline stalking a woman there to replace her. She had to talk to management and have them intervene, because in a place like that, you can easily just go down the hall and plant yourself on the person's doorstep.
I do feel very sorry for men who lose their wives. My Grandpa and Grandma were married 64 years, and he told me that men rely on their wives for social interaction, as men typically don't have close friends. So when the wife dies, many men literally lose contact with the outside world. I remember one older man calling himself an orphan after his wife died.
Not that women don't go through this as well, and there are certainly women guilty of stalking men, but I do feel (just from my own observations) that it's often much harder for men to adjust when losing their lifelong partner.

Lol I guess I think I'm pretty old sometimes! But yeah I'm sure you're right.
See as a teen I didn't have many admirers at all, esp compared to my sisters. So it's so interesting to me how things have changed. I was very sheltered and immature and narrow-minded as a teen so I'm pretty sure that's at the least partly why.
