She's a keeper

Oh bless your heart.
You realize that.a young woman who is even mildly attractive can pretty well have her pick of men her own age. She dont want no tubby dude 20 years older, wearing clothes from Costco and driving around in a Subaru crosstrek.
Once us guys hit our 40s we just disappear into the hedges like homer, just part of the background.

Older dudes can absolutely get younger girls. However, they are mostly going to fall into 2 categories. Serious emotional/psychological issues. Or looking for a sugar daddy without as much stigma.
If you are in great shape, have a good personality and a good job, then at 40 you can still pull girls in their 20s without to much trouble. If you let yourself go, and have nothing to show for your age then it will be a lot harder.
The better question is why would you want to? What would you even talk to them about?
Can confirm. However, something happens in your mid 40s, I think the third growth stage of humans. In the space of about a year I went from beautiful 20 something women actively engaging with me, to suddenly something like primal visceral disgust instead.
Sort of like how they reacted when I was in my 20s. Which is why I was completely unprepared for that tiny window of opportunity.
Penis emerged unscathed.

How dare you talk shit about the Subaru Crosstrek. We’re dealing with a 220 mm ground‑clearance, symmetrical‑AWD, snow‑eating, gravel‑spitting, apocalypse‑commuter that will outlive three of your fashion cycles and still start on a minus‑five morning without a whimper.
It's a five‑star‑safety‑rated go‑anywhere hatchback that gulps eight‑litres‑per‑hundred on the highway while your precious status wagons guzzle twice that idling at a café; it holds its resale value like a dragon sits on gold; throw a kayak on the roof, a mountain bike in the back, and go touch grass. The Crosstrek is the Swiss Army knife of daily drivers; slagging it off is like mocking duct tape - it only proves you’ve never fixed anything in your life.

If someone has to tell their spouse not to break their martial vows, or even feels like they have to say it, that couple should go to therapy.
Or you know they have a healthy relationship and joke a lot.

Ironic that you complain about men disappearing in their 40s when this happens so pervasively to women it's called Invisible Woman Syndrome.
Aging out of societal relevance is hard for everyone. Let's not pretend that this is a uniquely male thing, especially when women are pressured to conceal their aging to a far greater degree.

Well, at least the wife thinks highly of you.

Not a deal breaker. The dad bod is in. I suspect other dad qualities are also in. Like sweatpants and socks with sandals.
Do the dad qualities of already having a wife and children help? Lol

Doesn't get more dad like than being a dad!

You're also more confident when you're not looking for anything tbh
I can attest, got out of a long term relationship a while back and have had absolutely no interest in getting involved with anyone to any degree, and I have been getting way more attention than I’m used to. Having no interest, however, just leads to me awkwardly smiling, a moment of silence while they’re waiting for reciprocation, and then me saying, “Thanks. Well, you have yourself a good one!” and scurrying away to play Red Dead 2.

Among fat chicks. Healthy women want healthy men.
edit: up/down ratio is PERFECTLY in line with general obesity rates, as I expected, as is ALWAYS the case when I whisper any notion about how being overweight/obese isn't really a good thing

Or how employers are more likely to hire you if you've already got a job.
Real, and even more cruel.

This is a real phenomenon. Men are more attractive when they're already in a relationship.
There are similar psychological effects that exist elsewhere. A job applicant is more attractive if they currently have a job. A scholarship application is more attractive if you list your existing scholarships. The effect is basically: someone else found you desirable, and therefore I must also.
The effect is so strong that it encourages people to fake it to gain the benefits.
Exactly. Some people like things they can't have. The thrill, the risk.
Same reason why rich people steal stuff for the thrill.

I'll have you know I drive a Toyota minivan and shop at Sam's Club because we don't have a Costco. Much to my disappointment.

Oh lovely, the Subaru Crosstrek. The automotive equivalent of a bearded man in hiking boots who’s never seen a mountain. Yes, yes—220mm of ground clearance, symmetrical all-wheel-drive, and a CVT that responds to throttle like a golden retriever responds to algebra.
You call it an apocalypse commuter? Please. The only thing this thing has ever survived is a steep mall parking ramp. It’s not a rugged off-roader—it’s a cosplay Jeep for people who think flannel is a personality. This car talks a big game about conquering snow and gravel, but starts hyperventilating the moment it sees a hill and a headwind at the same time.
And let’s talk about power—actually, let’s not, because there isn't any. Merging on the motorway in a Crosstrek isn’t just dangerous, it’s spiritual. You put your foot down, say a quick prayer to the gearbox gods, and hope that the CVT decides to simulate a gear that moves you forward rather than just turning fuel into unpleasant noise.
Resale value, Swiss Army knife, duct tape metaphors—fine. But at the end of the day, it’s a hatchback with hiking stickers, delusions of grandeur, and the acceleration of a depressed tortoise.It’s not that the Crosstrek is bad. It’s just that it pretends so very hard to be brilliant—while delivering the dynamic excitement of a soggy oat biscuit.
