From the older guy's view
Well...here I am...normal guy, 33, I have a 3 yr old son that lives with his mom. She doesnt get involved in my relationships, I dont get into hers.
The reason alot of guys are available at my age is a) people dont work at marriages like our parents do b) women in my age range are *generally* married, or come with alot of baggage. So do the men also, I might add.
I've come close to marriage, but it never happened. I've heard everything from "If he's still single, there must be something wrong with him" to gawd knows what.
I'm at the stage in my life right now where I'm in the Navy due to layoffs, so my being away and trying to see my son where I can eats alot of my time. I dont think I'll look / try for anything seriously until I'm out in 2 1/2 years. Even then, if I dont find what I'm looking for...I figure I have a house, a great kid, and a loving family....
As for dating younger women...hrm.... I dont see too much wrong with it provided you're both open and honest. True, most older men want to settle...and most younger women arent ready for that yet.
My biggest peeve is really really liking someone...knowing you could treat them better than anyone else, and the other person continues to date jerks and never would "want to ruin" a friendship by dating you....GAH!
