While I was working as Associate Director of Hospice Savannah Foundation, an esteemed Board Member and contributor to Hospice lost his wife of many years to cancer. He was an architect/developer and quite wealthy. Since his personal situation mirrored mine only a few years later I watched as he carefully poured himself back into work, avoided the many females who wanted to "comfort" him, and reimagined his life as one of service and success.
I had done the same -- even though due to different circumstances, I had tried to date. Tried and failed -- because I either "picked people" for the wrong reasons (they were empathetic or I knew them to be kind), or I was convinced that a relationship "again" would be the answer. Now I think, after several years, I see and know the answer. Men give up on women because later in life women have already given up on men! They have lived without them for long enough, or substituted small furry animals for them (see previous post), that they know longer think they need them. They opt instead of images of satisfaction and/or mechanical ones.
Love forsaken is love forsworn! Love forsworn is the natural outcome of love forsaken!
