What other sort of man do you think goes for women in their 20s?

@ PWC1 - no. But I do think most divorced men are going to be in that age range.

Also, there can be lingering baggage from a divorce

That's because older guys who are into young women want someone inexperienced and naive because they will put up with bullshit

Agree with this 100% SA1. I dated a 40+ in my 20s and it was a total plot to take advantage.. OP just enjoy looking at the hotness for now. As you get older the playing field gets more level. many years later, you can date the older ones and not get burned. I am still attracted to older men but I am way more confident and can filter out the bs if I chose to date much older.

Not an expert but if Hallmark movies are any guide you need only return to your home town, help save a failing town landmark / festival / inn from the rapacious depredations of capitalism, and a handsome, hunky, and thoughtful widower should fall right into your lap. Maybe try that? :)

If you’re not from Maine, Vermont, or Washington though I’m all out of ideas. :)

Dumb question. He’s probably 40+ and part of your creepy men pool lol

Yeah well that’s because men who have made it to 40 and are not divorced are inherently defective at that point. The reason you are likely attracted to them is the security they can “provide” I mean you can trying going to 30 see if it’s any better. I don’t mean security in the monetary but rather maturity sense that a 26 year old man is likely still not going to provide.

Good Luck OP.

What exactly do they do that comes off crepy, what sites or avenues are you using to find these men? Being that you are young they may think you have some "daddy kink".

Hi there - my company is returning to office next month. Hybrid to begin before they ramp up to 5 days back in office by end of year.

All that being said, does anyone work at a FinTech/Tech company whose RTTO policy is more flexible? Looking to leave
