I think she is not disadvantaged. I went to the internet when I was in my late 50s and early 60’s. I met wonderful and fantastic men. No man less than 50 was ever even considered even after a wonderful dinner and time spent getting to know each other such as that short period allowed.
It may be that mature men with a vast worldly experience are exciting to older women I certainly found that to be the case.
So you were using the younger men for meals. How noble.
