If I even knew where to meet a 30's or 40's chick that wasn't (a) workaholic/alcoholic (b) feminist or (c) single mom (kid/cat) I might even be tempted to touch that particular stove again…but I'll be damned if most aren't a,b,c or all three.
I usually date younger ones, since they are usually just chasing resources, which is the man's role anyway.
