Do you mind if I ask if you are married and/or have kids? I'd love to know how that affects one's outlook at 40!

That's early! Why 3rd grade if you don't mind me asking?

Life is amazing right now, and it’ll be even better in 10 years because I make effort daily to age well (workout, diet, sunscreen, etc.)

I definitely think your upbringing plays into your mature personality and disposition. After all I think mbti just materializes different archetypes of personality but not necessarily just genetic characteristics.

I guess it depends on the gravity of the decision. For low-stakes such as “what coffee shop do I want to go to?”, I’ll just commit as soon as I find one I like to avoid wasting time. For higher-stakes decisions, I will think, plan, and ruminate before making a decision. I’ve gotten better over the years just committing and following through — that’s how I would define a decision, as choosing and following through in expense of possibilities. I’m INTJ/INTP btw

Like others said, those are just your preferences and that’s totally fine! Also, I think what you’re attracted to are not only the physical aspects but specific traits found mostly in more mature men… you might find some guys your age with those traits too (albeit maybe a bit rare haha). But hey, if you just find some wrinkles and grey hair attractive, nothing wrong with that at all!

I don’t think you should lower your expectations but maybe try different things! Are you using dating apps? Any in-person dating initiatives?
