First off lets talk about age. I have always dated women close to my age maybe 2-3 years younger no more and let me explain why. You want someone with the same cultural references and perspective on life. You want someone who watched the same shows and listened to the same bands growing up. You want someone who has the same years and perspective on life. When I see a man with a younger women I think loser who can't get a quality woman his age and wants to have power in the relationship trying to dominate with more income job or life experience. Have any of you ever actually tried to have a conversation with a women 20 years younger than you? Fuck that there are lots of hot women your age but you need to be a quality guy to get one. Any idiot can pick up a younger women for a little but finding a quality woman your age to keep that is the key to happiness.
Now as far as marriage. I love my wife I could not be happier. Not sure why you guys want to be old and lonely. Wife, kids, family vacations that is what makes life worth living that is real wealth. Of course, an occasional grown-up trip is nice but also nice to have someone to take that trip with you, to plan it with you, and to talk about it with you the next 20 years. I mean for fuck sake who is going to take care of you when you get old and sick? Who is going to laugh at your jokes? Who is going to make sure you get up everyday and live your best life? Who wants to see some ancient ruins with you? Who is still going to want you when you are 70? Your wife that is who.
