So, here is the thing... I am a Trad guy... I celebrate the differences between men and women. I think relationships work better with more defined roles. I am a great decision maker, manager of people and leader. This all comes natural to me. But after a couple life tragedies (not of my making), I find myself Older (55). I feel that I missed out on alot of love and fun and partly for that reason I am attracted to women younger than me. To me, it also, just naturally fits in with a Male-led relationship. I have tons of life experience, self-awareness, and success, so I feel I have more to offer. I am fit and healthy and active and monogamous.

I dont fetishize the age difference. and I am not talking super young. It is odd how some people feel about this. I have never understood it. I think age gap has been more the norm throughout time and is still extremely common. (for example, Biden was a powerful 35 yo senator when he met his wife who was in college, trump is 24 years older than his wife, Clooney, Gibson, Baldwin, Larry Ellison, Elon Musk,Harrison Ford, Kennedy, Clinton-lewinky, on and on and on etc ).Age gaps are even more common in gay relationships)

I could list 100 such relationships off the top of my head.). It seems to me that a woman would have more trust and confidence in a man who has fought and slayed his dragons. Also, there is less stress in the relationship because I am not just starting out. Another reason that I am single is that I worked my ass off to have what I have so I can provide for my partner and I (or family). Anyway, it seems natural to me. Does anyone else feel that way? I seem to see quite a few hating Karens. So odd at a time when gay is celebrated, trans is celebrated, poly is celebrated, but an age gap is judged. :P
