When men should stop having a fixed relationship - partner/girlfriend/wife ...

I'm late 50s. I've lived on my own for over 15 years and can't imagine living with a woman again.
I was married for 10, and had a ltr for 6 years but we didn't live together. That suited me better.
I'd like a girlfriend, or really a friend with benefits. Someone fun, horny and light hearted.
It seems like the women I meet want to live together, or are entitled and don't put any effort in.
I've had very successful women come straight out and tell me that they expect me to pay for everything! So what's in it for me??
I'll always keep trying for a fun relationship but while I'm single I'll enjoy times with an SP.

I don't really understand the premise of the question: that what you're looking for should vary so greatly across your middle decades, and that there's some age by which pursuing this desire should generally become untenable. My 90yo grandfather has a girlfriend at the retirement home where he lives, following the deaths of his previous wife and then girlfriend. He's catheterized most of the time, so I doubt they've had PIV sex even once. Yet it seems to me that most of his joy now comes from this typical relationship structure.

Most people prefer sexually exclusive relationships with single partners (mono). I suppose then my general advice would be to stick to this structure throughout one's life. If you're not confident in the strength of your romantic relationship... break up, especially before marrying! Prenups exist as an option to hedge risk, but I'm personally doubtful of the point of a marriage where partners don't consider their lives completely joined, including finances.

Do you think it's possible to date and marry an SP who has been working for 10 years and have a meaningful and lasting relationship? Would you ? I ask because I was having a conversation with an SP and she says it's possible and I told her the chances are slim to none that a man would marry her and respect her?
