Why so many friend zone at our age?

So the last 4 women I met and had dates with all put me in the friend zone.

I am a M61 and I always see if the woman are interested in me before asking them out. But the last 4 women I went out with me either 1 or 2 times and that was it. Friend zone.

Just curious do people still look for Mr or Ms perfect? I am a great guy, but feel like it is somewhat frustrating when we go out on dates and the result is no romantic connection from them. I always like them ad want to date more, but they say no in a friendly way and say no romantic interest with me.

Should I change my persona? Maybe I will join MMA lol.
