“He told me that when we briefly met I demonstrated a composure and self assurance which he found ‘sexy’. I’m not clear how I managed that, but it’s interesting anyway. It seems that what attracts the middle aged man is quite different than last time I was dating, so I guess that’s valuable to know.”
Middle aged men differ in what attracts them to women. The same is true of all men.
Was he in your car when he complained about your music? Asking because I’m wondering if you drove him.
He sounds like a bore but it’s good you tested your wings a bit. It’s also good that you turned down a second date.

Oh no I arrived and left alone, as I made sure I had an exit strategy secured. He watched me park apparently and felt that he had to share his views on the decibel count. Presumably my parking was okay or he would have shared his opinions on that too! Yeah he’s a tosser alright but if I am feeling beneficent perhaps he was a little nervous? Not beneficent enough to see him again to find out though, oh no. Regarding the what floats the middle aged man’s boat - how does it differ then?

My point is that what floats men’s boat depends on the individual men regardless of what age they are. Don’t generalize to all middle aged men friom what one man that age found appealing. Different men will be attracted or not attracted to you for different reasons.

isthisit these few comments made me think immediately of this: It doesn’t necessarily have to mean physical features either. Maybe you feel you lack that confident composure but others still see it. Way to go putting yourself out there. Don’t let it dissuade you. Take the good from it (more dating experience, the confidence to listen to yourself) and leave the bad (him). Haha!

Thank you for sharing your story. I have never been on a blind date so I can only vicariously relate to your experience.
However, being the awful person I am, I kept picturing Ronnie Milsap showing up with dark glasses and a white cane.
