well i'am older than you but i look younger i look like mid 30's and i feel myself more nearer of the youngest generation than mine,i'am in very good health aside smoking,yes i know,it's bad,but i'am vegan since 15 years at least maybe more and i don't drink alcohol,i know than many easterners girls and women are afflicted by this behaviour in there countries,or if i drink is rare and not heavy,like belgian beers,being vegan adding 20% at minima of extra longer life and your lowest your mortality risks of 12% each 6 years,i have allready earn 24% at minima of lowest mortality risks,because i don't remember when i became totally vegan,i progressivelly became vegan,and i eat one time per day,less your eat longer your live,after i think under 50 a big age gap is not a real problem, over 50/60 if you are not in good health 15/20 is a max,you need to find a partner who is ready,i don't prefer imagine that part,less you think about it less it's came soon
if you remember what answered winston churchill ,when a journalist ask him
"sir winston chruchill,what the secret of your longevity?"
and winston churchill reply sacarstically : "no sport!",it always make me me smile,sacred winston die at 90 years,joke aside, regenerate your dna telomeres regenerate the extremity of your telomeres(telomase) with astragalus(Huang-Qi) and you will live longer,lowest your cholesterol level,mine is very low ,as my arterial pressure tension(between 12.5 and 13)trash your junk food!

i have read serious studies than younger women with older men is better,even past 50,men live longer,and the contrary women die sooner with a youngest partner(the cougar with the young adonis toyboy stereotype)
indeed many people are psycho-rigid about age gap,more your are psycho-rigid,more your hurt your karma,age gap is also called age-hypergamy
but i'am a bit out to gave you the right answer,i don't know ,ray you are 43 ok,you could settle down a 18/25 girl of the "keeper" kind with no problem,if she fit your value and if you fit the z generation as well
i'am in this mindset to find a very young one too,it's not magic wizard,it's just a question of how to bring her to you,for sure if you spent your time watching sports and drinking beers like a coach potatoe,your reduce your chances
sorry ray if change of topic,but i will could interest you
sorry eastern girls/ladies i'am a westerner and i express myself and i think like that
but we are not so far,indeed i look like an ukrainian/balt even i'am celt,i have probably balt/viking ancestry of very far by my mother side i'am half britain/half burgand
and i'am looking for a girl of the varangian ancestry,if i seek in russia/ukraine,indeed it's the viking tribe the varangians who are the founders of ukraine and russia,not the slavics and the huns, i have made my study on it,meaning i'am looking in the northwest(seen from west)area of russia/belaruss(but belaruss is problematic because it's not a democratic country) and upper ukraine(north/north east) amid other countries
they even gave the name to russia( rus'/ruthenes) they settle down,they found kiev and novgorod for example a girl like this miss ukraine pageant 2007 below,with the same phenotype and facial traits of the fenno-scandians
