Well I'm 38 and am a lot more confident towards women now then when I was in my early 20's. There are a lot of over confident men in the South Hills area, because that area is the "who's who" of Pittsburgh.

I work in the South Hills area, and one thing I notice, especially out here is how women dress. A large percentage dress to show themselves off, and if you do that, you're gping to get attention.

WHERE?? WHERE?? I would love to see them since I live in the South Hills!

Heck, the only place I see women showing themselves off is the Strip District or South Side on Saturday nights.

Honestly, I'm generalizing here. My ex-brother in law is a skunk. And there are those out there. But one of the most successful marriages I ever saw was a man who was ten years younger than his wife. They were together till death did they part... and they weren't parted long. I also knew a couple where absolutely everyone was positive she was out for his money, but honestly, he worshipped her and she fussed over him and loved him back -- if that's how it started, it's certainly not how it ended... so who cares?

I do believe there is someone out there for everyone, and blowing up a great relationship just over age is wrong...
In my case they can't be looking at me for money because I only earn an average income and hardly appear prosperous. Unfortunately women around my own age seem much more materialistic and are the worst offenders in that regard. I suspect that is precisely why they show no interest in me other than if they are looking for a very "short term" relationship, if you get my drift. Not what I am looking for that's for sure.

More specifically, Mt Lebanon, Upper St Clair, Bethel Park. My customer base ranges from former pro athletes, to TV personalities, to presidents of some of Pittsburghs biggest companies.

You need to spend a day at the South Hills Village Mall and you'll know what I mean

When I was 30 I dated the hottest 45 yr old woman who looked my age. Big deal.

There are lot's of people that look older or younger than their age. You'll see it at every class reunion. It is just a number.

Be glad some find you attractive, if you find it creepy then that is something you will have to work out.

Well -- you reach a certain age and you realize that you have to get serious about the future, and if you haven't earned it and invested it, you're going to have to get it someway else. Marry it?

I've been with my husband for nearly 30 years, since we were 19, two babes in the woods... and we do NOT envy the ones out there dating. It all looks far too hard now...

Don't feel too bad. I always get hit on by the women with very few teeth.
