Doing_It_My_Way

Hello All,
I found this site earlier today and haven't been able to stop reading all the wonderful posts!
About Me:
I am a 40-year-old male who has been struggling with many issues in my mind concerning YW/OM. I have always been guessed at 8 to 10 years younger than I am...good genes, good health practices it guess. I live in a rural area in the heartland and it is very hard at my age to find compatible women, ergo when I do date, it is usually YW.
I really began questioning this practice a little over a year ago when I met who I thought was "the one" for me. She was 16 yrs. my junior. Unfortunately, I believe I was a temporary backboard for a recent divorce rebound. It really tore me up! I have not date since but lately have been thinking about getting back into the jungle.
I am not interested in anyone special, just trying to find a place to meet great people. Again, around here, the only places to do that consist of 90% younger people. I have no problem dating a younger person. My only fear at this point is the possibility of meeting a YW who is just looking for some "fun". I don't want that. I enjoy my life and am at the point where I want to share it with a soul-mate.
Many questions running through my mind have been answered here. A very uplifting experience! I feel a lot better about my situation now.
I chose my username for this chat forum because, like Frank Sinatra, I have always tended to go against the "traditional grain". I hate stereotyping and believe we live this life once. We have to make the best of it. My friends and family say I am too picky. I say I will not settle for anything just because that's what I'm supposed to do.
Some friends ask "when will you get married, when your 60? I say, "if that's what it takes".
I have added this site to my favorites and will be visiting to read new posts and see how it is going for all.
Thanks to whomever created this brilliant site!
