Let’s not pretend it’s not an issue: People in all “shades of old age” need love and connection just as much as young people. Probably many more.
Long-retired widowers often have a particularly difficult time dealing with advanced age, especially when they are seeking a younger woman. They have a lot to overcome:
brain chemistry changes
physical changes
lifestyle-induced decline that occurs rapidly, insidiously
loss of social awareness
loss of boundary awareness
unaware of their annoying behavior
loss of concern for personal hygiene
unaware of the disadvantages of physical attractiveness
For decades, married men often took their wives for granted. They had sex when they wanted and did nothing to remain physically or sexually attractive. (Not that the wife did either). The truth is that both took each other for granted.
When a woman loses her husband, assuming she still has a young-ish personality, and if she’s paid at least a little attention to her social skills, she can usually get back in the dating game. . He may not have much to choose from, but he is “in the game”. If a woman can paint her face, pull on her Spanx, and spray some perfume, she can usually attract someone to share her life with to one degree or another.
However, a man will have a more difficult time, especially if he wants a much younger woman, or unless he is financially well set, in which case, he can usually attract whatever she wants. Is.
Many men have long forgotten how to charm and interact with a new and perhaps younger woman who is more contemporary than the woman he has been living with for so many years. A man who hasn’t aged well, whether it’s the result of faulty genes, or health issues can be difficult. For example, a sly woman is put off by the sight of bad or missing teeth and bad breath. And, that’s a big deal – a woman doesn’t want to be a nurse. She is caring but has stopped caring for sick and needy children – or adults.
For some unfathomable reason, older men feel they must join the trend of younger men to have facial hair. Think about it: an old/older person with a face full of shaggy white hair doesn’t look sexy; He looks only 20 years older than he is and if truth be told, he looks shabby. And because he may not be as scruffy as he used to be, his beard can become infested with a variety of food debris and other debris, which scientific testing has shown can be rife with fecal bacteria.
Even though a man isn’t as sharp as before and his body has shrunk to one degree or another, he still sees himself as an attractive stud that any woman would want. If you want to see something pathetic, watch an older man at McDonald’s ordering a cup of senior coffee and flirting with a female teenage order taker, who tolerates him with a laugh and a smile because he doesn’t want to be obnoxious. Might and might lose him. Work.
Yes, at an advanced chronological age, life can be difficult for both sexes, but it should not be that efforts are made early in life to preserve the many gifts bestowed upon us by youth. Thinking and preparing ahead is beneficial.
