I'm a female in my late 30s and I'm constantly attracted to guys in their late 20s mid 30s. For some reason, I don't find guys my age attractive. Is anyone going through the same situation? Is there something wrong with me?

Everyone has a type. Follow yours. Make the guys come to you. Reject the old ones and the ones who aren’t your type and enjoy the ones you want to enjoy. Dating gets harder once you hit 40.

Best girls are taken so the pool shrinks. Higher proportion of the pool just want money or games. Makes it tougher to find someone to want to open up to.

A 10 year age difference is nothing these days. I have friends that exclusively date 15-20 years older. Own that you have a type and go with what you like. No reason to force something you don't like because it may seem more conventional.

I lived in tampa in my early 20s and am now in my late 30s and looking to move back.
