this, and I am tired of pretending its not just so people dont get outraged.

You need to move to a metro area. Rural life sucks for dating.

I hated living in cities. Too noisy, way too expensive, too little nature to look at, and Im mostly a home body anyway, so having stuff to go out and do didnt appeal much to me as long as I was by myself. Plus, I was born legally blind and cant drive, and it was expensive to Uber around (plus, depending on where you are, the public transportation is outrageous too; Atlantas MARTA was like $40 a month for all the trains all the buses in 2012, but in 2016 Chicago charged like $200 a month for a single train).

I suspect Id like it even less now, as Ive since really gotten into grilling / smoking / barbecue / outdoor cooking as a hobby, and in populated areas Id probably have neighbors bitching about the smoke.

Finally, I cant really afford to now anyway, as Im taking care of my parents (especially my mother). But at least I can somewhat rely on family to get around here.

That all makes sense. Sucks about dating though

What attracts a female is status.

Just date a single woman your own age?

But many of them are also happy with their lives and dont feel the need to be in a relationship. They dont want hobosexuals or to be bang maids.

Is that why people here are so obsessed with dating 18 year Olds? Because they think they're easy to manipulate and mooch off of?

So who is having this mid life crisis ?

If women in their 20s think you're a creep it's probably because you're a creep.

Otherwise if your concern is that people on Twitter dislike something stop taking social media so seriously and do whatever works for you.

Dating 20 year old woman is "creepy" and almost every woman over 30 has children.

1. Dating younger women is fine as long as they are adults.
2. You have left a literal 10 year gap of women that it seems you would deem viable.
3. Plenty of women over 30 dont have children.
4. Theres nothing wrong with a woman just because she has children.

Well according to a bunch of people on this site, a 40 year old dating a 20 year old would not be creepy at all.

But there are plenty of women in the 30s and 40s without children.

The regular FWB doesn't want to date even though I'm kind of developing a crush on her. She says I'm too chubby and look like a dad, and her roommate thinks it's creepy that there's a 10-year age-gap and isn't super supportive of our friendship even though I kind of get along with him now.

I'm newly single out of a 6 year relationship and I'm kinda going through this. Not necessarily that I care about women having children - just the majority of women I end up talking to over 30 are either married and cheating on their husbands (which I mean - I'm fine doing that, but obviously I'm not going to date them), in an ENM relationship, or are the most boring-ass normies ever.

I've slept with like 6 women over the last 2 months? One was 34 and in an ENM relationship, three of them were 24-year-olds - two of which just wanted kinky outdoor sex and the other was highly emotionally unstable, one was 19, and the other has been a regular FWB and she's 27. The regular FWB doesn't want to date even though I'm kind of developing a crush on her. She says I'm too chubby and look like a dad, and her roommate thinks it's creepy that there's a 10-year age-gap and isn't super supportive of our friendship even though I kind of get along with him now.
Then I got ghosted by another 25-year-old woman who I was sexting regularly after she asked for more face pictures and said I look like a married dad.

I'm 37. It sucks that the majority of single women I've been interacting with have been like 22-27, and people in their twenties nowadays are usually super critical of age-gaps or fetishize it in a weird way.
