You have some idea of how "choosy" I am being.
I know you're in the Untied Tastes, where edumacation is a fully pay for endeavour. Where your uni's are called colleges, like some of our high schools, but its not all bad.
I'm actually from 'Straya, which does have a similar education system to the UK's.
But let's skip that. According to shrinks, or their older theories, which may be debunked, single young women who have grown up without their father figure may develop the Electra Complex. That is they may be attracted to older men. Older more influential men.
I don't know how the theory holds, but when I was younger I did have brief relationships with a 22 and 23 year old women. I was myself 50 then.
One was a US biology graduate with a 57 year old male slave, the other was a double degree science and finance student creating a storm amongst influential men.
I also had a 33 year old TV show presenter dominatrix 'friend', and a 54 year old widowed mathematician friend. I ditched the younger girls for the 33 year old and the 54 year old. But those relationships didn't last more than a year, as I moved on. At that stage I hadn't had my stroke yet, and was living life.
Even now, although not at home (lawyer tenant is giving me grief), I'm staying at another friends home. She has 4 daughters. I was interested in one of her daughters a few years back. She's ~ 16 years my junior. Anyway, she said she really likes me but is not attracted to me in a sexual way. Fine. I mean her fecundity was ending. And to me that is paramount. Even in the absence of fixing the stroke, which presently there is no cure or fix for. And though she was a double degree girl, it certainly isn't medicine or physics or mathematics. It was art and education. Noble but won't help me. Two negatives. But she is drop dead gorgeous. Almost ~ 10 cm taller, looong legs, skinny as fuck, narrow arse, pale skin, etc. Her parents are English and Scottish.
So back to the grind. So I do like them close to my age as well as a bit older or a bit younger, but relating to really young girls,... I'm not sure I can do that. But the youth I seek now is for two reasons.
1) to have children with. So they only need to be young enough to be fertile for ~ 5 to 10 more years. Meaning if they were 30+ it may work.
2) I do want someone smart enough to do medicine (or physics or mathematics), to then do neurosurgery. The idea being they will then join me in helping part brain transplants, or regrowths, or whatever. Its not just partial dead left thalamus, but also replacing blocked blood vessel and possibly also replacing or doubling up pituitary gland.
Problem is, whilst they can excise cancerous or dead parts away, they cannot yet make new parts grow. So literature says neurogenesis cells (equivalent of stem cells in the brain) drops to 0.3% by the time we are born. And it gets worse after that. I'm not qualified in med. So don't take my word for it.
And you can't just tack on someone else's part thalamus either. As excised brain parts form a dead layer where they're cut. So even if the blood vessels are connected and feeding it, it won't communicate with the rest of the brain. Also, it will be rejected, AND the brain is like a thick soup. With blood vessels and sacs. So reconstructive surgery is mostly still out of reach.
The odds are she'll get her medical degree, we may even have a child or two. But highly unlikely there will be much progress in reconstructive neurosurgery. Still a worthy goal.
I have met a few neurosurgeons of course. And talked to them of my airy fairy high falutin grand schemes. It is a fancy goal, and it may at some later stage help somebody.
I even met someone (online at the moment) who is actually just starting out her neuroscience degree (not medicine but science). Small steps. But she is herself motivated because she suffers from a degenerative neuro something disorder, which affects her mobility. She is wheelchair bound.
But yeah, aside from similar interests I don't think she's interested in really old men. Like me. She is a gorgeous flower though and I support her wherever it is accepted. She also has both her parents and her abled younger siblings.
I think you might be nevertheless quite right. I may never find someone. But that's the kind of person I'm looking for now.

Sounds like you must be writing from Great Britain, where they have "uni's".
You're mighty choosey. If, when you finally identify your suitably-talented young woman, she says: "Yes! I fully intend to spend my time at a university, supported full-time by you, studying pre-medicine, or physics, or mathematics!", in what sense to you think she'll have any time left over for you, even less so after she graduates and begins studying and training to become a neurosurgeon...?
I think there may be more than a hint here of why it is you've reached 60 without ever finding a woman to marry — leaving aside the question of whether your hypothetical highly-talented and ambitious young woman would want to take time to make you her cuckold.
