I'm satisfied with having a stable income.

I'm 40, been divorced for three years.Honestly, yeah, a few dudes have tried to holler at me during that time, but they were all younger than me. Most of my social circle is people around my age too.

But deep down, I've always been more into older guys — like a few years older, hell, even ten or more.
This ain't about looks or money. I just feel like older dudes know how to actually take care of a home, and they know how to value a relationship more. They seem more stable, and more willing to put in the work for the relationship.

I get it — people always say 'age ain't nothing but a number,' and that women should be more open-minded.

But what I wanna know is — where are all the older guys who genuinely like younger women? Not because of my body, and not just 'cause I'm younger than them.

Where the hell am I supposed to go to find real love?Or am I just not even in their options anymore?

I've been doing day trading for years now — been through blowing up accounts and grinding back to profitability, so I've seen some real ups and downs. Now here's the thing: I got a friend who's been following my trades for about two years, but I really think dude just can't control himself. He tags along with me and mostly makes money, but then he goes off and does his own trades and keeps blowing all the profits. He's been doing this the whole two years he's been following me. I even told him straight up — if you keep this up, I'm not letting you follow my trades anymore.

Then the other day he told me he went and lost his entire savings. Hearing that, I swear, I feel like he's beyond saving. Now he's been begging me nonstop, asking me to help him start over, and promising that once he's profitable he won't keep trading like an idiot. To be real with you — I don't trust him at all right now. Should I keep helping him trade? I kinda feel like this is partly my fault, since I'm the one who got him into day trading in the first place.

Honestly, this whole thing is giving me a headache. He'll probably be knocking on my door any minute now. What the hell should I do?
