If you're older and single, what do you look for in a potential partner?

What qualities do you most value as you've aged?

Define older. Well in this life someone who isnt trying to con me or steal from me or live off me is a good start.
Other than that this is probably not realistic but I my dream partner would be someone who can hangout for a weekend or maybe a week then be cool while I return to hermit mode for a month. I dont think thats qualifies as a quality but there.
@NeuroticByNature I guess 40+.

I think that's a quality. Someone more independent and understanding of introversion. They would get you. I hope you can find that.

I think you can solve everything by talking to someone for 70-100 hours
and most people pass the flaky test/quality friend test
if they get that far

I think it's pretty much
- do you like all my neat hobbies, and what are your neat hobbies
- do we tolerate our looks and personalities? okay whew, that's the scary part for most
- The deal breaker is the John Waters Filmmaker test - Do you like their bookshelf - it's the ultimate compatibility test

- once they seem a 'real friend'
it's all up to them, with feelings and everything else
