Pretty hard to spot a red flag in a 'profile' like that. The red flags are in the actions. Are all those things true? Do you have good manners that indicate good character? Can you actually communicate with a woman? Are you truly emotionally available?

A person with a resume like that can still be an abuser, or just a jerk. Gotta get out there and walk the walk.

Also, your defensiveness about this shows a lack of maturity and understanding about dating and women. It really does. Women in their twenties like dating men in their twenties, that's just the way it is. There are exceptions yes, but they are not the rule. And if a 25 year old marries a 45 year old, when she is 45 she is now married to a senior citizen. Not something young women relish.
Immature explaination on your part. Good bye and good luck you need it.

He is established more in his career. He will not play games as to a relationship. He seriously wants to have a good relationship. He has a good attitude about things. So what is the problem? Give reasons why he is too old.
When I was 21 years old, I briefly dated a 30 year old. I was an undergrad and he was in grad school at the same university. Even though there was a 9 year age gap, we were both in school. And at the time, I thought he was pretty old. When I was in my 20's, I was starting out in life. I was going out with my friends. I always had a boyfriend - but they were fairly close in age to me. We weren't thinking about having kids yet. We weren't saving for retirement. We weren't getting ready to buy a house. I would have had nothing in common with a guy in his 40's when I was in my 20's.

These right here are major red flags that weren't mentioned in the OP.

Your thread subject line states "...for a woman in late 20s up to mid 30s", but you seem set on trying to find someone in their 20s.

Could you be flexible? Your insistence could be your downfall. Try and open your horizons to other possibilities. She could be in her mid to late 30's and want children as well.

Jeepers! At first I thought the thread was serious, now I can't tell.

Finding a decent looking woman in her 20's or early 30's isn't going to be easy for a guy over 40, unless you have quite a few attributes that are above average, here in the USA. Now if you are a rather regular guy, and are set on finding a much younger lady, you could consider trying S. America or Asia, they are often easier graders appearance/age wise...but you still got to be a good guy.

I say he gets a yellow card and you put him in the penalty box. Then declare first down and give him some free throws.

When I was in my 20s, 40 seemed ancient! I would imagine many 20 yr olds might feel the same.

Therefore is this guy a good catch or red flag to women for dating where the woman is single from age range of late 20s to mid 30s? Please be honest with your vote
That's all great. Keep in mind, chemistry is not based on a list of your good points. You "click" with someone, or you don't. (That was a general "you").
