The younger you search for, the more likely you are going to be intimidated.
As you've tried two weeks with looking at really young women, why don't you spend two weeks looking within a 10-year age range for you. Just to see what the results look like. You might feel less intimidated and you might find more women who will be more likely to respond to you.
It's hard to feel sympathetic for you when you keep doing things to make you pity yourself. You should do more than just use online. Get out and meet people without looking for a relationship - you've said yourself that you don't even know if you want one. Join things to help you meet peers that you might have things in common with.
I agree with the poster above who mentioned how it's sorta disheartening to see you consistently avoid looking for women near your own age. I'm 31 and single. Am I really at the tipping point where I become too old to consider? Really? I don't think so. In the reverse though, a 60 year old man has nothing to offer me. Except possibly money, but I'm not that kind of person. I have a lot of life to live, and many man years left to be working. The idea of getting involved with someone retired just does not appeal. I'd quickly start to feel like a caretaker - especially if I have more life and relationship experience than someone twice my age.
You likely do have tons to offer a woman. But not women significantly younger than you.
