If a 67 year old man was looking to settle down, he'd be looking for a 60-something woman. He's looking for arm candy. If a 27-year-old was willing to go out with him, even better. I'm going to share tip  this as "an older sister" might.....some single older guys have ambitions of being "players"  they desperately need to feel that they still have "it" so they play the numbers game....the game being, how many younger women can they get to go out with them, and how young can they get them? And they can smell vulnerability and desperation at 50 paces.  about 4 or 5 years ago, I was on my own with my two young daughters, and this guy at church approached me who was even older than my father, (so that made him about 30 years older than me) and he was highly offended when he dropped the line, if you move in with/marry me, you'll never have to work unless you want to" and I said no thanks. I'm no hooker. I want the fairytale, or it ain't happenin'. I believe at 47, I am desirable enough for a man my age, or near abouts,  who is  suitable mate to fall in love with me and propose. And "the guy" is not out there, then fine. I'll build a good life for myself great career, friends, travel, hobbies, extended family--and stay as I am now, and date selectively if I need companionship.
