I guess this is why I don't date very much. Damn astronomical standards we ladies have.

The company is a scam and she is a victim. It doesn't really matter what she looks like or how old she is. And besides, nowhere in there did I read that she wanted someone young, tall, fit and rich. She wanted someone in her age range who was employed. That she considered attractive, which I interpret to mean "had dental hygiene", in this case.
Also to all the dudes complaining about height shaming. It sucks that happens. But the knife cuts both ways, be honest. Most men wouldn't choose to date a woman who was several inches taller than them. This lady was 5'10, which is pretty tall, especially for a woman of her age group.

Middle-aged women definitely have it tougher than men in the dating scene. There are biological and social reasons for that, and probably not the thread to discuss it. But generally speaking, guys don't hate being single. Relationships are a vehicle for having a family. Once that ship has sailed, you're trying to find a needle in a haystack because guys in that age group who are single are probably not that unhappy.
Also, I think height for women is an attractive trait. Maybe I am in the minority there. I have some unconventional tastes.
