And the flip side of the coin:
I've just started to date younger guys, as in up to 10 years. I got tired of hearing about the wicked ex wives and being with someone who didn't want to get off their butt and go somewhere. I'm put at anywhere from 5 to 10 years younger that I am, good family genes and healthy lifestlye now following, and see no need in a the just start dating stage to correct anyone.
Someone with a sense of humor and not ready to roll over and play dead: really important.
