He will find one. I would not disclose early on that she is the first. There is somebody for everybody out there. The oddest people find some other odd people. It might take a while though.

Not if he doesn't tell them like an idiot.

Nothing wrong with a 40+ Male seeking a relationship....problem is what age group to look into.

A 20 something might be still single with baggage while a 30 something could be in the same boat.

I speak with experience as I have been there.

Married a 23 yr old with two small kids (I was 22 then).

Later on after being widowed married a widowed woman with baggage (youngest was 16).

Some people like myself never learn while this 40 something has yet to make his mistakes.

I for one would go the 20+ route (single that is).

Later on in my mid 50's did have a 20 yr old girl friend and later a 24 yr old (both were single and NO baggage)

This guy has the world wide open for him.......I'm in envy mode.

No. People in their 40s and later are getting married all the time.

With that said, any woman who would tell you, "You don't have a chance," because of your age is not worth the effort and, despite it being a bit insulting, is doing you a favor - she's saving you the trouble of pursuing her.

[i'm 44 and I've never had a woman say that to me]

I don't understand men in their 40's searching for 20 yr olds.

That's kinda gross.

I and I'm sure plenty of other men my age aren't running around chasing women 20 yrs younger. I'm mid 40's and have zero interest in a 25 yr old woman. The truth is why would a 25 yr old woman want an older man, I know, all the BS about mature and wiser and all that, but at the end of the day, I think people generally do better when closer in age. Mrs. Chow is like 6 yrs older than me, I think that fine, but the 20 plus yr age differeces... whatever, for the most part they don't work.
