What does a 40 year old virgin college professor do about his attraction to younger women?

I have a friend who is 40 years old and a college professor.

He is also a virgin, generally a good guy, smart, decently attractive, sociable and financially well off.

But because of his job and his attraction to younger women (especially the 20-something women in his classes), he has a hard time dating because he is reluctant to put up a profile on a dating website because of his fear that his students or fellow faculty would ridicule him because of information he reveals on his dating profile. It’s also a small college town and people have nothing better to do than gossip about that kind of stuff.

What would you recommend for him to do to start dating and break his dry spell, considering his attraction to younger women and the fact that he lives in a small town environment where he wants to protect his privacy?
