I would chastise her nerve and exclaim how dare she stand in my living room completely naked arms thrown wide begging me to do anything I want to her. I would wag a judgemental finger at her and sternly explain why that would be so wrong repeating everything I heard in church and ask her what's wrong with her.
I would point out how perky breasts and smooth skin and no cellulite and no stretch marks and no spare tire around her waste and no scars and no face wrinkles are so unattractive and send her to a nunnery to get her life straightened out.
Nah, just kidding. I'll fuck her and love every second of it. ?

If that someone can hold up their end of a good conversation , they're welcome !

Some say age is just a number, but reality has shown me that age also often reflects a level of emotional and physical development. This view is not meant to seem a negative, but it is a reality which i needed to learn once upon a time.

Since my late 20s, i have had relationships with younger women. and as i got older, the age differences widened, not on purpose, but due to circumstances and my passions.

I have always lead a very active lifestyle, which attracted me to people who shared and wanted to share those passions with me. I loved and still love biking, hiking, white-water river rafting, with a list which goes on and on. The women my own age who were attracted to me seemed to be focused on things which had little or no interest to me; things like security, stability, and developing family.

By my 50s however, i realized that most of the younger women ultimately wanted to have families and children. Something which i never had time for, or the inclination to participate in. I also began to observe how i had served as a stepping stone for the younger partners in my life. In fact, i had served as a transitional change agent and a learning opportunity to all of them, every one of whom moved on after we separated to live the life of their dreams, whatever that meant. Since i have continued to stay in touch with many of my friends and partners since my 30s, I have also been privileged to hear and see what life has been like for them since we parted.

People in their 20s, as i was at that age, are still exploring, developing, evolving, and changing which is something i learned the hard way, and sometimes painfully. But i made my beds, so to speak, so i had to lie in them.

No regrets and reams of wonderful memories which will never disappear. Until i reach the dementia stage at least. LLOL

Actually, i bumped into an ex-partner just a few months ago. Karen and i had lived together about 30 years ago and i hadn't had any contact with her since the mid 1980s. She was now a grandmother, was still a beautiful person, and according to her, still also had fond memories about the great times and adventures we had shared. At the time, she was about 20 years younger than i had been. The unexpected meeting gave me a wonderfully warm glow in my heart.

What's interesting is my own evolution. These days, since my mid-60s in fact, I have found myself more attracted to interesting women who have extensive and eclectic experiences. They're much more fun and interesting, with or without the sexual options. And as i'm moving into my 70s, they're often older than i am.

I like older men because (generally) time = experience = knowledge; wisdom if you're lucky.

I'm not interested in younger men. Not sorry.

I'm 88. If I was ever approached by anyone under 60, she would likely be a hooker.

I'm 43 and I have found I just can't relate with most people more than about ten years younger than me. It feels like they're from another planet. I get tired of the blank stares over not just little things like 'the fuck is a rotary phone,' but also things like handling money, relating with family, etc. I don't fault them for having different experiences, but it really feels like we're both trying to cram a square peg into a round hole.

On the flip side, I can't really relate with folks who are older than me, because they always seem to want to treat me like I'm a stupid kid. Yeah, I look younger than my age, but that doesn't excuse the 'I'll tell you when you're older' attitude.

I'd faint if any woman said she was interested.

My response is that I don’t feel that we could possibly want the same things. We are at such different places in our lives that it just doesn’t seem like it’s a feasible relationship. I also seem to attract younger guys more so than ones my own age. Sometimes I wonder if that means that I am immature...

First, you look a lot younger than your actual age! But, I digress. Personally, I prefer people in by age range +/7 years.

At this stage, anyone over 40 and I am 61. But they need to demonstrate a good level of maturity, stability and an easy temperament. In other words, not likely to happen anyway.

As long as it's not too much of an age difference I'm open to it. It's mental and emotional age that matters to me for the most part.

I personally prefer older women, I have done the part thing I have gone out and been wild. I prefer someone more down to earth and tend to relate a little better with aomeone older than myself.

When I am approched by younger, my first thoughts usually go to what kind of craziness will I have to deal with and would they really want to stay in on a Friday.

My relationships have almost all been with women who were either several years older or several years younger, and it has never been a factor in either the attraction or the separation. To your specific point, dating a woman half my age would be a positive experience for her. She would learn about chivalry. She would be at ease with ordering the most expensive thing on the menu, and not feel obligated if she did so. She would be with somebody who is delighted to be seen with her. She would learn what it is like to truly be appreciated.

It's not the number of years, it's the ratio between ages.

Well for me that should happen when pigs fly so if it ever comes up I'll let you know

there are so many factors to consider in this question. I think that, for you as a lady,you would have less negative feedback to deal with from those around you, than I would as a man if I dated someone fifteen years my junior. But, aside from the social implications,as long as the other person is mature, and the relationship is healthy, I don't see any issues. But each of those are huge questions all on their own, andhard to gague while being the one involved.

I know - not any real help here - but its a question that really only those involved can answer.

To be very honest i would not mind having you for a friend

Just depends on the timing and where each person is at in their life. I don’t pay age much mind.

I think as long as the person is in the same stage of life (e.g. open to have kids vs kids are part of your daily life vs kids are grown, not wanting more kids, retired vs still working)

My future ex wife is 16 years younger than me. The age gap made no difference at all, the problem was she was as mad as March hare. But having said that at the age of 58 I wouldn't, or it wouldn't cross my mind to, date a woman who was 74.
Age is irrelevant, other factors are in play

I've always been an "old soul", whatever that means, and I've always associated with older people because I've always shared more with them in common.

Not opposed to dating someone my age or younger, but there has to be a connection.

I am 64 and do not approach anyone for dating under 50. Now I will talk to women yunger than that but it is just to talk and freindship. I would tell them if the subject came up I am too old for them. If they go further thry need to be in their mid 30s or older. But to go out and have a good time does not mean being in a relationship. As long as in there 20s go have fun.

It seems like you know what you want, you don’t have the fetish for the young thing enough to act on it. I’d say find someone in your age group and make it happen ?

Meh. I don't think about it much. I just assume gals under 30 are not interested so they may have to give a little extra push to have me figure it out
Worry about your happiness and let them do the same.

I'm 16 years older than my current gf, which is by far the biggest gap I've ever had in a relationship. We're completely in love with each other. Not worried at all about messing up her life; we're both poly.
