If you were truly looking for friends, you'd find them and you wouldn't care if the guy thought you were attractive or not- re-read your first post.
Simple fact as Toxick pointed out: You will have problems finding and making friends PERIOD. Oh sure, it seems like a big deal now, but take it from me, it'll be hell after the kid pops out.
People aren't going to want to have to operate on YOUR time table if they want you around. You can't make or change plans on a dime, because it takes 300 phone calls, putting things off, and aquiring child care- EVERY TIME.
You know 10 minute trips to the store because you forgot something? With a little one, they'll easily suck up an hour. Oh and it'll take 3 times as long as you think to get ready for anything. If the baby is fussy, guess who's the only one around to take care of it? So guess who ends up late for work, or going out, or making appointments....
So now, you have work, home, family (responsibility with extended goes through the roof), family friends (same as family), and an infant. With the infant the previous all take forever or just don't get done. Want to hang out? Now you have to take away from one of the above to do it- which means the planets have to align correctly. And when time gets scarce, and it will, guess what you drop first? Yep, the new "friend."
Not many people want to deal with that. Would you? I know you'll say yes, but, honestly, I highly doubt it. Date the younger guy, the only problem with that is the stereotypical garbage in your head. Because if you have to ask, you're as clueless as he is.
