The ever rising bar. (14)
May be because , since childhood , we are programmed to "Respect Elderly" people ... Why ? Because as per general perception , with increasing age , our experience , knowledge and capability to make the right choices , are supposed to increase... We have this almost unquestionable idea that , older people always make right decisions because older people always know better than younger ones...
So
Since childhood it became a prestige issue to us to maintain that "Ideal" status of our AGE !!!
May be that's why and how it is...
In my experience , elderly people are usually counted as saint , and young ones going against their elderly , considered as sin...

Jaavisst: I have noticed that the older you get the higher the bar gets.
As a youngster it was only necessary to give the look.
As a middle age man one had to think ahead and say and do mostly the right moves.
As an older person you can't even misspell without getting ghosted.
What is your experience?
It’s definitely the spelling mistake. As a youngster it was only necessary to give the look.

Nothing to do with you being boring .

A decline in enthusiasm. Where once I would freeze my nuts off all winter long to be with the girl she now has to live within a 30 minute drive.As a youngster it was only necessary to give the look.

Agree with Merc here.An open mind O.P., and eyes too, may lead to places you did not think could be.

You should be raising the bar for yourself by yourself all the time....not just in the dating sense.

Perhaps as we age, we have life experiences that have molded who we are.As a youngster it was only necessary to give the look.

What is your experience?
Perhaps we are more self aware, and have a better idea of who we are and what we have to offer.
Our goals are different than when we were younger, and we no longer seek a partner for family rearing and climbing the corporate ladder.
Commanlities are more important.
We understand better the personalities we meld with.
Perhaps we spot the red flags earlier on and don't have the desire anymore to ignore them and hope for the best.
Maybe we are content in our lives and our journey and seek someone to complement that.
