Look, if you are set in the fantasy of significantly younger women, then you need to expect that you will get very very few responses. The start of this thread is you wanting to give up due to lack of responses already.

You are willingly increasing the percentage of non-responses you will get through messaging these younger women. Of course you will be disappointed by the amount of effort you put in and the lack of reciprocation.

At 32, I would be very unlikely to respond to someone in his forties. No one that I know in my age range would date a man who was retired. It's basically signing on to be a caretaker and provider - which I know sounds really harsh, but it's how a lot will think. They'd still be having to work as you continue to age, and with age comes more health problems - so they would be working and then potentially having to be your caretaker if things went bad.

And at age 35-40 many women are still willing/wanting to have a baby. But they won't want to be a single parent so potentially early. My dad is 64 and he is already having the start of health issues. I can't imagine him wanting to have a new child, and he would have nothing in common with someone near my age.

I know that aging sucks, but you can't keep clinging to the idea of younger women. I know you missed out when you were younger but you can't go backward in time. 50+ year old women have just as much to offer you emotionally and physically as you would have to offer them.

I think you are just setting yourself up to be continually disappointed. Yes, you might have lots to offer women. But you don't have much to offer women in their 30s. You don't have youth, experience, the potential for life-long, different life experiences as children (my dads generation has very little in common with mine).... You may have a great personality and maybe tons of money, but you lack the potential for a lifelong partnership as you've lived twice the life someone my age has.
