You have a point here, but also the body type that I am attracted to is more prevalent with younger women than older ones.
BINGO! So the real reason comes out. It's not because younger women are more "free-spirited" (because they aren't, trust me) but because they have less flawed bodies. Just be aware, if that's your priority, you'll likely be sacrificing something else. My ex married a woman 19 years younger than him, and yes, she has a less flawed body. She also tried to get my grown kids to play "punch-buggy" in the car, acts like a very young girl, isn't the strong independent highly accomplished and intelligent, caring woman he was previously married to. And as he is really starting to show his age and have some health problems as he approaches 60, I imagine he has to worry she might leave him for some younger, more virile guy. Just be careful what you wish for, ok?
On the same note: if you aren't going to date women who have kids because YOU have a kid, you'll end up dating women who WANT to have kids. Is that what you want? Are you willing to risk a young partner getting pregnant without your consent? Do you want to raise another child at this age? Are you willing to take on the problems with a step-parent who has never had kids second-guessing your parenting child? Again - just be careful what you wish for. A woman your age whose kids are grown might be a better partner than a young woman who still wants kids or someone who is childless by choice and doesn't really like being around your kid.
