Before we start, let's list some women over 60: Goldie Hawn, Diane Keaton, Diane Sawyer, Sally Field, Cheryl Tiegs. All these women are fit and attractive. Surely they can attract men their own age.

But what are the chances of the average woman over 60 finding a man close to her age who she can date? Concerned Niece was worried that only 80-year-old men would be drawn to her over aunt who's over 60. Was she right to worry?

NED: In my youth, I was in love with June Allyson. As I matured, I dumped her for Sally Fields. What do you think it did to my psyche when the objects of my sexual fantasies became the spokeswomen for Depends undergarments and osteoporosis medicine?

MARTY: I'm 58, 6 feet 3 inches tall and 185 pounds. I ride my bike to work during the summer (10 miles each way) and often walk 3 to 5 miles on the weekend. I find that many women close to 60 can't walk at the speed or distance that I enjoy. They're just not in shape.

That being said, I would much prefer to date a woman in shape who's my age — someone who's gone through the experiences I have, rather than someone 40 or younger who can't relate to me. 60-year-old women are more confident about who they are. They've gotten past most family crises. They dress better than younger women. They're not glued to their cellphones. And they're more interesting to talk to.

ELIZABETH: I'm in my mid-50s. I've been remarried for three years. My husband is two years younger than me. I want women to know that there's hope for finding someone around your own age even in your 60s. These are the men who don't care about your age, but about the person you are. They're out there. Keep looking and laugh at those silly men with those young girls on their arms who only want the one thing they can offer: money!

ANNETTE: I'm a dental hygienist with many 50- to 60-year-old unmarried men as patients. I discuss their dating habits with them. Many of them tell me they only date younger women. And they say it with such a sly, pompous smile on their faces. Their comments makes me sick, and these men overall make me sick. They're so full of themselves. Don't they know that their skin doesn't look so wonderful when their arms are bare, either?

ROSE: My husband died when I was in my early 50s. I was happily single for years, then I decided to go on a singles website looking for someone to spend time with. I emailed several men and finally met one in person. We clicked. At the ripe old age of 59, I married my dream guy. He was 69. We've been married for five years and have a great sex life. I've never been happier.

NANCY: I'm 60 and have lived longer than my mom and other relatives. I'm delighted that I'm still kicking! I've been divorced since 1989 and I'm still having a blast. I'm retiring in September, and I'm ready and excited for the next phase of my life. I've been told I'm a catch. I have a good job, a nice car, no dependents and own my own home.
