Mack...a woman wanting security if she is planning on having a family is practical but it's not a cure all. I had plenty of cash with my ex and she still wasn't happy then ....she's still not with number 3 and he is a gazillionaire. Careful.
On virility and prudishness. I'm 44, wife #2 is a lovely 8 years my junior and wonderful. I have 3 children(11, 12 and 20 months) with one newly discovered on the way. I had a very hedonisitc life till around 33 or so...really maybe later than that...shhh!!! but around late 30s...it all started coming together. It's all about family for me. With 6 dependents more or less....responsibility is paramount. Enjoy while you can!....be smart but do let your heart have a say!
BTW, I'm no old fart who hasn't lived ...trust me.
