Largely because half the services I host are tied to a Univention DC, and so are the current Windows client machines, I'd like to maintain that state.
I know Ubuntu has an AD option when you set it up, but it doesn't seem to work with any of the 'AD compatible' replacements I've tried.
I would say maybe a case of what are you referring to as attractive. I'm also iny 40s and would say 20s looks good, BUT, the gap in lived experiences, world views, musical tastes, etc, would get tiresome very quickly.
I also recognize that I'm not some Hollywood hero pretty myself, so trying to base a relationship on what is physically appealing as the first thought is not going to go far.
