Damn sure is when you want some action at 45 and she has already had you cut off for 10 yrs!:-) [Reply]
So, recently separated I’ve dated a 19yr old and currently a 24yr old. Both very mature for their age but the 19yr old was a little too into the “feels” thing for me. Maturity and emotional intelligence is more key than chronological age. I’m 43 btw. [Reply]

I'm 47 (almost 48) and my wife is 41. There's still an age gap at times but that's mostly because I was an adult in the early 90's and she wasn't. She doesn't remember a lot of the iconic 80's stuff because she was too young. [Reply]

You’ve always said you were married to the perfect woman. Sorry to hear. [Reply]

I love money as much as the next person but "work", when it's too high on the priority list, seems to me to be a recipe for a shorter, less fulfilling life.
Sorry to hear about your breakup but at the same time, I hope you're living life to the fullest now. [Reply]

Yeah, I like the 50% + 7 in general, but I'm also less tolerant these days with drama and bullshit and immaturity. It technically may not rule out younger people, but the red flags would go up much quicker. [Reply]

Appreciate it, I’m absolutely ok working and hard at that. My issue is we’ve put in 80hr weeks for the past 6-7 years have multiple very successful companies and have earned enough to where our children never need worry but it’s not enough for her. I’m ready to breathe again. [Reply]
