Yes I did mean men mostly, although as an aside I do know women who did not settle down with the right partner until later in life. Of course biology limits their options for family of their own (although I do know someone who thrived as a stepmother), in a way it doesn't for men. But I have seen both sexes find their compatible relationship later in life.

In some ways it is easier because for many of us as we age we get to know ourselves better, we have more life experience.

Please do not feel the things you seek are time limited, they don't have to be.
