And I'm 70 now so will probably not happen again.

some men feel the same, shyness prevents the potential sometimes.

It’s a lovely feeling, especially if it’s requited.

Only some? That's surprising since there are plenty of women that'll treat guys like they're Hitler if they spring a boner for them.

Shyness, caused by too many demeaning public rejections.
Or submitting to an Inquisition about finances, career,etc for 5 minutes before being deemed unworthy, with the same result.

I think most people without a partner feel this way, especially during this time.

that's what Grindr is all about...

Allow me to correct your post: *only* if it's requited. Otherwise it is creepy and disgusting and disrespectful. There is no in between. And while I am at it, I could probably correct OP's post as well: "man" should read "my own particular idealized version of what a man should be or at least a reasonably close facsimile". Let's be honest here. We all have standards. I don't care how desperate OP thinks she is, I could show her one hundred men and she could decline every one.

Why don't you just be a lesbian? I think you would like it & be more satisfied.

Same here
