The scene is familiar. A woman in her 60s meets a nice man who is charming and single. At first, they get along. Then, he drops the hint. Specifically, he wants to move in. He mentions his bad back and talks about his fixed income. Suddenly, she pulls back. However, she isn’t cold. Rather, she is smart. She has identified the “Nurse with a Purse” trap. Senior women are rewriting the rules of romance. They want companionship, but they are refusing to sign up for caregiving and financial support.
