I'm single because I'm old and all the old guys are busy chasing the young gals (because they can't accept that they're old). Come to think of it, I don't like being old either... but I tend to accept reality.
You are not old! You just aren't being appreciated. Let me tell you what older guys have to offer (the ones I've found anyway). They realize retirement is around the corner and paying for kids college. Splitting a burger out then straight home to watch Family Guy on the pc (piggybacking his neighbors wifi) because he canceled cable/internet to save $35/mo. His standing back 10 ft. from the cash register asking if I am paying for the groceries which mainly consisted of his expensive beer, foods for his high cholesterol and cereal for me. OH JOY!!! Shame prohibits me from sharing any more. Do yourself a favor, stop thinking of yourself as old and get yourself a nice young stud muffin! Just think of him as young and SMILE BABY!!!!!

Basically, getting old sucks. But, you will probably be a lot smarter...that's at least some consolation. However, I really do wish I knew then what I know now.

As for 'Stud Muffins'...I'd go a tad younger (5 to 10 years) any more and it's just plain creepy IMO.*

(*disclaimer, my personal opinion here)

I am single because the right guy hasn't come along yet. It takes effort for me not to get into relationships. I am proud of my strength this time around.

I'm single because at 56, the dating gene pool appears to have shrunk greatly. Most of the men my age are seeking younger women, and many of those who remain seem to carry two full sets of luggage with them. I, of course, am perfect.

Seriously - I'm independent, outspoken and bright. That drives a lot of 'em away right there. I'm 5'8" and active - apparently being tall and fit turns some guys off. And I'm not looking to get married. That eliminates another big slice of the male population! But hope springs eternal :-)

What you describe is an individual's approach and can't be applied as a generality to any age group. Younger men can be tightwads as well...
