They've been spoiled with decades of casual/FWB sex from women. No need or reason for these men to change and improve. 

52 here. 
Ya know, every time I hear a gal say or infer sex shouldn’t be easy? Well, neither should a commitment.

There’s definitely a spectrum of behaviors genders develop towards one another later in life.

Why do they never tell men that that they’ll have more money if they avoid sex and marriage? 
Do feminists marry down? 
I would call dating in your 50s very apathetic. Take it or leave it meh attitudes.

Everybody is hanging on to their pot of gold.

I joke that sex is easier now and relationships not so much. Sad.

As a man, am I still expected to not care about her ability to earn and only her appearance? I think not.

Ugh. I went out with the guy from OLD.  Great date. Asked me if I wanted to go out again to which I responded "yes".  He told me that he was leaving in a week to go on a trip with his son and son's friend and we could go out when he returned. No problem for me. The Thursday before Valentine's Day he unexpectedly appeared at my work with a bottle of bourbon (I like bourbon) and we grabbed a quick lunch.  I haven't heard from him since then. Out of curiosity I looked on his Facebook page and a woman and her two kids are with him and she refers to him as her boyfriend.  WTF!

Picture was posted today.  I also found a comment by her on a picture she posted and tagged him wherein she called him her "boyfriend" and that was less than one month ago.

OK... I just know some people don't seem to clean up their facebook pictures and sometimes pics are quite old.  That doesn't appear to be the case here.

Sorry to hear about the recent development.

WTF indeed! So he showed up at your work unannounced with a gift?? Who does that? And how was the lunch? Have you talked/texted since, after you found out about his GF? Jesus! What are these guys thinking?

I have been fledgling since my 20s and I am 46.  Now?  Never been married, didn't get to have children because they go for trash rather than me.  Everyone dumped me for someone else or rebounded, then ended up broke and divorced.  But... it's what it is.

I sent him a message stating that "I did not know that you had a girlfriend. I had no clue. She looks excited and happy being with you on your trip based on the photos she posted on Facebook."  I sent that message to him four hours ago and no response from him. I don't expect a response.

You’ve clearly devoted too much time to finding a mate 🤣

when he first popped back up, it didn't occur to you to look at his facebook page? That would have solved a lot of this.
