What men over 60 want
Not long ago we surveyed the ladies of Over60 to find out what they want from a relationship so now it’s the men’s turn to tell us what they look for in that special someone and what makes them happy in a relationship. Just like women, the over-60 gents are simply looking for a partner in life.
“I’m looking for a woman who accepts me as I am, a woman who doesn’t care what type of job I have, what type of car I drive or what suburb I live in. I want a woman who is going to treat me with decency and respect, as I would treat her the same. A woman who is over her ex, who shares the same interests and who wants to get to know me slowly rather than expect Cupid to fire his arrows within 20 seconds. I would like a woman to wake up next to in the morning, to be at home when I get home or to come home when she finishes work, to have dinner with, to cuddle up to on a cold night, someone to talk to about whatever, someone who is genuine and honest and would like to spend our remaining years in a loving, happy relationship.” – Andrew Watson
“Being alone is not so bad. Being lonely is. It would be nice to have someone to share the high and low spots with, to spoil a bit and to keep company. Not interested in anyone who isn't prepared to share life as an equal.” – Steve Green
“I think what a man wants is the same as what a woman wants. Love, trust, equality, honesty and a willingness to share wonderful experiences together.” – Bob Brownley
“To enjoy each other's company, have some common interests like dancing, holidays, theatre sport, trust each other, respect for each other, use the we word and be caring and loving. At our age we should just enjoy each other's company – life is too short to have hang ups.” – David Green
“A woman who has a sense of humour, is keen to develop a friendship with both me and my adult children, and me with hers, if that is the case, and someone to enjoy life together with. And have a laugh. Also likes camping.” – BJ Sands
“Honesty and understanding, enjoys life and laughter. Sensuality and closeness and unexpected surprises. Be yourself not what you think people want you to be and do not expect me to change for you... I am who I am and you need to be the same... being financially secure is nice but money is not everything at this age...” – Geoff Hitchcock
“Someone to walk beside me and love me for who I am. I know that sounds corny…” – Trevor John Rogash
“If I was looking, and I am not, I would be looking for a good sense of humour, someone who responds sensibly to what is said and someone who is reasonably aware of what's going on in the world, as well as someone who loves relating to children. Don't want much, do I?” – Peter Cullen
