Depending on where you live, there are a lot of women five to fifteen years younger than you (or older) who might be really interested in a man who has lived the life you have. And they might be enlightened and ready to have a relationship where their income potential is higher than yours. When I was almost fifty, I met a man who was just barely getting by in home repair. We fell in love. I had the money and he had the sex appeal, and now we've been together for a long happy time. For the first year, I was ill at ease with our income disparity, but then I realized that given how our society works, income disparity is inevitable by the time you are fifty, and you might as well get over worries about it, whether you're the man or you're the woman. You have a great treasure to offer, don't be shy.
