I guess but older women like the flattery they get from older guys. I like a spot of flattery but realise it may not last.

I listen to my neighbours arguing and my sister 's weekly phone call with the latest instalment on her 50 year marriage to a man who dominates her life with coercive control and I thank heaven I live alone .
To some extent we are āconditionedā into the expectation we will take a partner /partners and very little is said about the pleasures of being single or that it can make for a life of contentment.
I never thought I would ever marry , circumstances of my childhood made me a loner then when I did meet a partner we were only together 10 years before he died leaving me a young widow with a baby .
I vowed to stay on my own for the rest of my life , I love solitude and am never lonely and being one of a pair can be such hard work .

Strange how many people in this day and age can see more of the bad side views, when in reality they are now living a life of honey compared with what they left behindā¦ just thinking the kindness they give back to you must be overwhelming I would think Martinā¦

living alone certainly has itās advantages.
I could not live with someone, having been alone all my life.
It would destroy me totally.

My young adult son lives with me so Iām not totally alone. Heās got a busy social life though being in Uni so I spend most of my time on my own.
I believe it would take some time to adjust to live with someone again as I am not the easiest person to live with. Iām a bit of a neatness freak. And, Iām bossy tooā¦

In a way, yes, overwhelming, but not as much as their recent history back in Ukraine and not forgetting their journey to reach England and how some of the miles were paid for.

Good advice 
I enjoy watching mens channels on YouTube and dating is a hot topic. A common refrain from men is they just want a chill woman, peace and bed fun.
Men like to claim they are simple creatures with simple needsš¤·āāļø
All thatās missing is barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen and youāll have a winner!
wringā¦wringā¦. Oh, that must be the 21st century calling

some like a lady with a bit of oomph too.
I have sadly been a widow for several yearsā¦I hate it.
I am much happier partneredā¦someone to hare my life with, do everyday mundane thingsā¦
I have done the alone things 3 times in my life (I am 63)ā¦never liked itā¦
Of course, I cannot relate to any of the stuff I see women posting here as to why they prefer living alone, I never experienced those thingsā¦maybe because I was so āpickyā and screened well?

I donāt live alone, I have my son, heās everything to me!
Yeah, of course it bites sometimes, lacking company when enjoying simple everyday experiences that I suppose others might take for granted. Iāve become very used to doing things the way I want them doneā¦ not good I suppose but it works

Where you end up is your destiny, maybe the way the company dominoes shuffled to suit during the journey was fundamental?

A new bank study forecasts around 45% of women under 45 will be long term single. Thatās a huge change.
Plenty guys now tapping-out of dating and just sleep around (if attractive on dating apps).
This is a huge topic and takes time to get to grips with.
I potentially wonāt get into details here because Iāve realised that giving honest and up to date input is experienced as offensive. Being āniceā (saying what is deemed acceptable) , is appreciated.
So lets do pc nice mode for a moment; yeah go girl, you got this, so stunning n brave, strong n independent, never lower your standards, you deserve a 10, never settle
