Older women are great aren’t they?!?

I live in the southeast of the United States and to be honest I don’t know why more men don’t date older women. A large majority of younger women, at least in my area, are overweight and financially needy. Most just don’t take care of themselves. But a large majority of older women seem to be financially independent and take care of themselves and their bodies. My local gym is full of them! I’m financially secure, take care of my body and watch what I eat so why wouldn’t I want the same? Dating a cougar is just a no brainer to me. My only issue is people like my family judging me for doing so. However the older I get the less I care!
