I hope she's wrong.

She may be right.
I believe we all have some wants and needs, thats normal. When young, we had no clue about much as far as lifes conquests that were headed our way. Mortgage, Kids, car payments, deadlines at work...
I can believe people , to a certain point, are looking for nurses and purses ( both men and women). It makes sense.
If its purely companionship, someone to enjoy a more mature life of, lets say travel, movies, or whatever, than thats great..
If we could act like we did when we were in the mid 20's, we would be probably need a nurse with a big purse, as we arent what we used to be. I am only 55, and I dont heal as fast as I did back in the day.
I dont know, everyone is different. Some may be looking for purely physical, no connection at all. Others may be looking for the connection only. Who knows. Only the individual person does, thats who.
