I hear this all the time from people past their mid-40s. Those in their 50s will affirm. Those nearing 60 just say "forget about it!"
A relationship at that age is purely for convenience and transactional.
An older man who chooses a woman his age or older looks for someone to perform household duties so that he has more time to enjoy his recreational hobbies, and for when he is experiencing issues due to deteriorating health.
An older, childless man who chooses a younger woman is basically racing against time. It's his last chance at leaving a legacy. This pertains to the men who actually want a child. For the ones who don't, it is purely for lust and an ego-booster.
The good news is that the women who agree to this arrangement also understand that it's about convenience and transaction for them, too.

Even when the news told people to stay inside if they didn't have to go out. People still went out!
