Would a mature woman date a 22 year old guy if they had the chance?

As one of the women stated earlier in this thread: I can only speak for myself.

I am 40 years old and when it comes to dating I generally select women younger than myself. Granted, I would be lying if I said that physical attraction played no part in it. However, the primary reason is, well, to be blunt: The vast majority of stable, intelligent, beautiful and baggage-free women my age are already spoken for and I don't do the adultery thing.

I am not saying "all women my age are crap" by any stretch of the statement. Please, I pray no one come at me with attacks under the assumption that I've said anything of the like.

However, I date a lot. I date women of all ages and sadly, the vast majority (not all, thankfully) of women I've dated that are 30+ are angry and bitter due to some jackass that came before me. No offense to any of them, but I'm too old to spend a decade proving I'm not their ex just to find out whether we're compatible or not.

I spent the majority of my adult life raising my children (and an ex's daughter that wasn't my own biological offspring) alone and dealing with "I don't date single dad's, I ain't got no time for baby-momma drama". Once my kids were raised and I was able to finally get past that hurdle now I'm having to consider that I might have missed the boat.

Not that I mind being single or anything, but it really would be nice to find a wife that accepts me for me, and not the me her ex taught her I must be.

Ugh, didn't mean to rant.

did you tell her about your small penis?
