You will not find many women interested in a 12 year age gap.

Also, not interested in a guy who doesn’t respect my career as being equal in priority to his.

Oh, we’ve had a few resident incels for quite a while. Unfortunately rank misogyny is tolerated here.

If you want a family this is true. If you want to have fun for 6-9 months, that’s all I’ve done from 39-45 dating 19-26.

(Most men can’t pull this off, but for some of us it’s easy)

Sounds like you wasted your 20s and now you're way too picky.

I see the attempted ironic snark. This dude was probably serving his country in his 20's, I don't know if I would call that "wasting his 20's." And also different timeline for men vs. women.

If having a family is important to you, your 20s are the time to set that up. And do you think being career military inhibits settling down and starting a family? If anything, they start earlier -- even officers. Also, what, suddenly we're taking into the account the importance of the work you're doing? That wasn't part of the conversation for women.

And sure, to some extent it's a different timeline. But it doesn't sound like it's working for him. So really not that different, apparently.

Woman here, no to the bolded since I won’t date anyone with more than a ~3 year age difference.

So which careers are considered “wasting your 20s”?

Dating a 20 year old woman is a 39 year old man is disgusting.

Wrong. Men want attractive women who are pleasant to be around and enjoy having sex. Your list of what women want is spot-on though.

Ambitious men always wanted trophy wives, trophy meant beautiful and hot but now it means also having an equally impressive career and income for securing power couple status.

LOL.

Is this a DC thing?

My parents met through mutual friends in hs, started dating at 23 & 24, married at 30 & 31 (they are 366 days apart) and proceeded to have three kids over the following 9 years.

If the younger ones click, why are you still searching?

Perhaps no women click for you?

Woman here.

You are the exception and you know it.

There is a different timeline for men and women.

Most women are comfortable dating within a 5 year age gap.
