Just being here has dramatically shifted my relationship with my parents in a way that was not possible back home and I value that so much. Before I wasn't comfortable and willing to be apart of their life and now I am. I can't put a price on that.
They will die, my father is 60, he will die in the next ten years. With his current health issues, I don't see him getting past the national average of life span for men.
I'd rather not be sitting beside a hospital bed, feeling bad that I didn't spend the time or show the love to the people who mean the most to me.
I work 40 hours a week and put a majority of my money in savings. Working has never been an issue and never will.
The reasoning behind an older girlfriend is that they will be able to give me an experience unlike anything back at home, it might give me access to bigger social circles and more interesting experiences as well as connection and love.
I have zero plans on having children and my opinion on that over the last 7 years has not changed.
I'm not looking for a wife, I'm looking for someone I can enjoy spending time with.
I don't know what "setup" post means. I was just looking to gather generic ideas given to me.

I have seen very nice looking 50 year old ladies at the swimming pool that I have talked to. And I think that they would be interested in a 27 year old man if their personalities clicked. So, what you are talking about definitely exists here in The Villages. Actually, there should be VERY many that you could meet. Because women tend to live longer than men. And many of them may NOT be interested in marriage. Good luck.
