Okay, let's get right down to it. Older women are
at a disadvantage when it comes to online dating. Not only are there fewer men
alive in their age group, many of the living ones want younger women. If you
think this makes them desperate to marry whatever they can get, you don't know jack about older women. While they may still be open to the possibility of marriage, many cherish their lifestyles free of various responsibilities.
Are older dating adults more
selective about whom they date than younger adults? They actually are, and
their Internet dating profiles prove it. Research of online dating profiles for 100 older adults and 100 younger adults reveal that older adults and
especially older women were more selective than younger adults when it came to
the age, race, religion, income, and even height of a prospective dating
partner. Surprisingly, older adults also don’t mind traveling substantially
farther than younger adults to meet the loves of their lives. Sure, they want
love, but they don’t want just anybody. Of course, the younger adults may have
more options because they can get around more.
