I have always been attracted to men who are smart or smarter than I am. And I never cared about degrees because there are many types of ‘smart’and it is fun to be with someone who is smart in different ways than I am- say,gardening, in which I have a murderous thumb and kill anything I touch. Or a cowboy-I love horses but don’t know much about them. It is fun to be with someone like that as long as the foundation is the same i.e. be a Conservative etc. And these things require no degrees.
But now that I’m in my 50s, it is increasingly difficult to find men who want to ‘live’ life; most just don’t want to be alone, and you need much more than that to have a worthwhile relationship.
It’s tough out there!

I’m curious. Have you been married before? And if you found a nice guy who didn’t want to be alone, isn’t that better than what you have now?
Amen. I know exactly what you're talking about. I once dated a man in his 50's who went on and on about how he didn't want to spend the rest of his life alone. I wonder whether he ever found someone willing to be his companion just because he didn't want to be alone.
