What do Women over 50 look for in a man when dating??
I am a man who has very little dating experience due to my years as a chef and my travelling, what would a women who I met and wanted to date be looking for in a man, what are the types of men do you look for, and what draws you to someone and accept that first date invitation. And does there past experiences and baggage affect your decision. Would you think it is strange for someone to have never been in a serious relationship or not dated in over 20 years.

You sound like an interesting person and that is at the top of the list. You have traveled and you can cook more pluses on your side.
I would say "single and breathing" as a joke but what I would look for would be someone who has a sense of humor about life, someone who is not gonna list off his ailments and illnesses, someone who still looks forward to life and has not soured on it from past experiences. I would look for some on to be a companion, a friend and then perhaps a friend with benefits but at this age while I am still interested I am not so young as I once was and a nice conversation or someone that likes the old western movies as much as I do would be far more appealing to me than any would be sex machine. I don't really expect to find anyone like that now and my past good marriage has spoiled me but Im over 50 and to my unhappy surprise, I am back "out there" and that is what I'm looking for. I have not had a date with someone other than my late husband since I was 19 years old so I know how you feel.

i would suspect they look for an accomplished individual, both financially and intellectually. i dont' think the law of attraction falls by the wayside just because you're 50, as I don't think 50 is old at all. So I assume they look for someone who's relatively fit. Sense of humor is always a favorite one.
And dress well. I would love to live in a society where people wear fedoras and tie clips.
I think baggage affects a relationship type decision at any age. It isn't strange to not have been in a serious relationship or dated in 20 years. Your job, as you mentioned, is hectic. Unless you were sitting home collecting unemployment checks, not dating is usually easily justifiable.
At 50, i think you should be much more confident than someone in their 20s or 30s. Don't play games. If you see a target, approach it without hesitation and with full force.
Hope you get lucky!

Don't look for a man now, enjoy yourself. Just get to know who you are. I had so much fun the 7 years in between my marriages.And I have only been married twice. I learned that I can be picky about the man I want to be serious with. Never say I love right away. If you think you'll loose him if you don't, he's not ready to be in a relationship anyway. Gosh I learned so much about myself, my likes and dislikes. Experiences I could never had had being in a relationship. I even took up truck driving, made great money and got to travel the US. Just look for friends, be outgoing, and sure of yourself, everything else will fall into place.

I am 49 and counting, have been divorced for 6 years and have finally found the man of my dreams. I think this time around I was looking for someone more similar to me in background. I never realized when I was younger how important this is. I mostly like a man who has a good sense of humor and can laugh at himself. I didn't want anyone too needy either. The fact that you have not been in a serious relationship for a long time is a good thing. It means you are picky and definitely not needy. Confidence is a turn on at any age. Be yourself and good luck!

You probably have to have a pulse. For myself I'd want someone of similiar faith and values. Someone who is stable financially and not looking for a woman to provide for them. That is a real turn off!! Men who leech off women. If you have positive attitude, cheerful outlook on life and still have hope to do fun things in life you have lots of promise.
