It really depends on the 60 year old. You know, when you're in your late 30's and early to mid -40's you're in your stride. Career's on track, if you've got kids they are pretty much grown and life is wide open. Dating someone who's getting ready to retire and may or may not be in the best of health is not necessarily the way to go.
Use all the formulas you want, I agree with Sultana, there has to be somekind of real chemistry to make any relationship work, and don't kid yourself, significant age differences can and do cause problems.
