She's thirty-eight and wants to get married and have a family?

It's difficult for her at that age. I'm 38 and don't even consider dating women my age, they are just too old for my taste. I tend to prefer women in their mid to late 20s.

I know a lot of women in their mid-late 30s who are very goodlooking but have a hard time getting first and second dates. This is not surprising to me, but it's pretty shocking to them. The kind of man they want (someone close to their age, successful, masculine) tends to want to be with younger and more fit versions of them. I feel the same way.

What does a 38 year old man have to offer a 25 year old independent woman?

HitmanLV, I feel the exact same way. It's hard because anything younger than 27 I cannot really relate to, and the demographics here make available women 30 and 40 impossible to meet and date.

Those guys who are in their early 20s have it made. There are a ton of young ladies between 17 and 22 where I live.
