Funny stuff, although I gotta admit that I’m one of those girls who thinks if he grew up on disco he’s too old for my 20-something sister. I draw the line at he must at least have rocked on to my own 80’s hair bands. And I’m glad my parents are still together, because if Dad ever showed up for dinner with a girl younger than me I’d be the one in therapy : ).

Hilarious! Younger women are flocking to us older guys and it’s a blast! I love them, because they’re bright, vivacious and eager to learn about the world around them. I find older single women in this country to be bitter, over-opinionated, pushy and selfish! They’re know-it-all’s with bad attitudes and lousy plastic surgery. When I date these young gals, I feel like a teacher, a lover and a father figure all in one and it’s both a physical and emotional turn-on. I’m 50, and I have more hot young 30-somethings vying for my attention than I can handle. I divorced a shriveled old bag who was 50 and fading fast, and now I have several young babes in dating rotation. It makes me feel younger too. All I can say is life is good! Great posting. I can’t wait to read your blog because you’re funny as hell!

I am one of those older ladies you’re dissing, Aaron, and I sure don’t appreciate what you’re saying. If we’re bitter, it’s because guys like you have been treating us like doo doo all these years. I’m a three-timer divorcee and all of my husbands had one thing in common — they were jerks! You just can’t handle older babes, Aaron, that’s probably your situation. We’re smarter, wiser and packed with personality. Young women can’t stand up to the real thing, baby!

You made our point for us, Ms. Korenko. You sound angry and burnt out. I wouldn’t date you for all the cash in the world. Younger women are a great alternative for guys like me (60-plus and wealthy), because they APPRECIATE us. I pity your three ex-husbands. Well, hopefully they’re happy now.

All of you are sinners. Pre-marital sex is a serious offense toward God. Hooking up with women half your age isn’t normal, guys. Can’t you see it? Stop being pawns for Satan and wise up! Marraige is a lifelong thing, kitty. The fact you have been maried three times should tell you that you aree the problem, not your ex-husbands. You’re no better than the men. You all need to repent today.

I too enjoy a little of the young stuff from time to time. Some of them can be a little obnoxious, always wanting to borrow the credit card, but as long as I don’t mind playing Sugar Daddy, it all works out. You are right about the older ones, Aaron. They are a real handful and not worth the hassle, in most instances.

Hey everybody! Thanks for reading my article and making the piece the second most popular one on this site. I had no idea that I would be stirring up so much controversy with this topic. I myself dated a younger woman for a while a few years back, but it didn’t work out because she was insane. She actually tried to slit her wrists one night after we had a fight. But, when the relationship was good, it was great. Something about dating someone younger than yourself just seems to energize you. She had a fascination about life that made her fun to be around. Now I’m engaged to a woman four years younger than me and we’re just happy being in our 40’s and in love. My dating days are over, but I can live vicariously through my readers who are still out there on the front lines. Thanks for all the feedback and keep an eye out for my next article on www.15minutedate.com. I hope you enjoy reading all of the content on this site as much as I do!

Sounds like Aaron and Phil just proved Ms. Korenko’s point: why would older women be attracted to insecure men who are afraid to date an equal partner with their own set of opinions, thoughts, and experiences? Personally, I’d rather stay out of the shallow end of the dating pool. Women of ALL ages are sexy.

By: Ed Attanasio

Ed Attanasio — Fri, 29 Jun 2007 23:06:45 +0000

Wow. I was just curious what other people thought about this subject. Toni - you are so right! An older woman with confidence, intelligence, and enough self respect to keep themselves in good shape is the best of ALL worlds. And it is a 2-way street.

ok i think this is the bottom line in this young vs.old female.
I’m 68 ,just look around any of you,anywhere,at the majority of woman
say 45 to 70,nothing but overweight,almost obese,uncaring witches.
Just try any dating service in that age range maybe 1 in 500 will be slim
lets face it men are animals/hunters we like eye candy.
on the other hand a woman searches for whats inside a man.
its all b.s anyhow

Hey Kitty, your offended about the comment that the person above you made, and then you end your post by practically degrading younger women…. so its not ok to insult an “older” women (cause you fall in that category) buts its ok for you to insult “younger” women (since it doesnt directly affect you, right?) sheesh, double standards at its best (my point was you should have promoted what older women have to offer, which is alot, and not downplay the qualities or intelligence of younger ones)
My partner and i are 32 years apart and we got quite a laugh from the article, its so narrowminded that i doubt anyone could take this seriously. Its not about age its about what people have in common and despite the skeptics out there may-december romances can work no problem, and some of these couples have alot more in common then people would believe.
Great article, made me smile
Thanks
Anna

Steve — Tue, 03 Jul 2007 03:26:52 +0000

Anna, it’s interesting that you should mention what people have in common. This is the argument that most people who are opposed to May/December romances give against it. After all, what could people from different generations have in common? They don’t like the same bands. They don’t like the same movies. Like that is what makes a relationship work. When talking about having something in common I like to think it is something deeper and more profound than having the same interests, like their basic philosophy. I believe that age should not be a factor in a relationship any more than race, religion or culture should be.
Kity, you just proved Aaron’s point (not that all older women are like you). You clearly are bitter. 3 divorces and none of them are your fault? Maybe the guys did treat you like doo doo, but you picked them. There are decent guys out there.

Larry — Tue, 03 Jul 2007 18:26:21 +0000

Enjoyed the funny stuff but I was also saddened by the comments. I would love to date older women but bitter doesn’t really cover them. Desperately evil might be better. They seem to try and entrap men as fast as they can and then quickly go for the gold. I have been hit by this with many of the older women I have dated.
The younger women seem to be more relaxed and fun to be with. I feel like I am being weighed in a set of commercial scales whenever I date older women. They are giving me twenty questions all leading to how much money do I have. Young women many times just want to have spontaneous fun. If it requires money I don’t feel pressured to pay for everything with younger women. Older women try to force me in the place vacated by their long gone husband or husbands. I think I will stay with the young ones. These older witches can soon turn you into a broke frog wondering how you could have been so stupid.

Wow, what a funny article, Ed. Looks like you’ve got a lot of people going in different directions here. I am a youngish gal (26) married to a wonderful husband who is quite a lot older than me (59). We love each other so much and just want to be around each other 24/7. He was married twice before, and both his ex-wives are dried up, spent prunes who are so bitter and unhappy that frowns and grimaces are their normal facial expressions. My husband has to deal with them, because he had kids with both of these shrews, but that’s the price he’s paying for being stupid. His one ex (I call her the Joker because she’s had so much plastic surgery she looks like she’s wearing a clown’s mask) reminds me so much of this Kitty Korenko. What a totally unhappy woman. My advice to older men is this — stick to the younger ladies — they’re not damaged yet!

I do believe that there’s a strong primal component to a man’s attraction to younger women and a woman’s attraction to wealthy men. It’s the whole “he’s seeking fertility and she’s seeking a nest builder/protecter” thing. It’s hard wired into us to perpetuate the species.

I like the older babes myself. And I’m 20 years old. They are smarter, more vibrant and know a lot more about life. Sure, gravity has caught up with most of them, but if you can look past the sagging flesh and wrinkles, there’s an incredible antique diamond in the rough there. Young women are mostly hoochies. At least where I live they are. I’m not into one-nighters anymore. You have to talk once in a while, know what I’m saying?

I have always had a very special way with all the ladies, but the older ones just seem to gravitate toward me. It might be because I drive a Benz and look much younger than I am (36). I love the older set because they’re so much more willing to give. Younger babes are selfish and much more self-absorbed.

I’m in my 20’s and I find myself having more in common with older men. For example, I love classical music and going to symphonies and operas. I love visiting museums and art galleries. And I also enjoy reading books on business and investment.

I find that most guys my age don’t care about the same things that I love to do. They’d rather listen to those bands, play video games, and they rarely read anything (ok, maybe the textbook haha). But when I go out with older men I have so much more to talk about. Maybe I’m just different from other girls, but I’m just saying this May-December thing might suit some people better.

I’m a 34 yo man, and I find mature (older) ladies much more attractive. Many are quite beautiful still, elegant and young at heart. It’s easy to have an interesting conversation and to find common ground. I also find that a older woman is more comfortable with herself and with her view of life. There is less chance they will change a lot over time. Mature women know how to conduct themselves, know how to carry on a conversation, and know how to give respect.

The younger women I dated (say 24-26 yo) just didn’t have the right view of life. I try to be nice so I don’t point out things I don’t like, but I could see it was hopeless to have a relationship, even if the younger woman seems to be rather interested. Younger woman I found seem to play some sort of game, seem to be afraid to reveal their feelings. It’s difficult to become true friends, and they sometimes act like the older man is with them because of a sexual desire. If we must talk sex, let me say that I’m not too impressed with what younger women have to offer. Younger women seem not to understand the meaning of friendship, intimacy, sex and love.

Let me end with a quote from a former date with a younger lady. When tried to steer the conversation toward current events, I asked about her thoughts on the situation in Asia. Her answer “I think can’t we all just get along?” Hmmm I thought…..smiling gently, not knowing what else to say.

Aaron Goldberry, you hit it on the head with your statement, yes, young women like to play head games, but when you treat them right, the possibilities are endless, unless of course they’ve been hurt and it is fresh, then it is best to treat them with kid gloves and get that fresh, hot body while it’s still hot! However, if she can love you, then why not love her back. Im 35 and you best believe I will bed down an 18 year old in a minute, no questions asked and she will still get dinner, a movie and maybe a concert, happy hunting and young ladies, there are nice guys no matter what the age, who will treat you right….

I am 28 and currently in a “relationship” with a 52 y/o man. He’s intelligent, witty and spontaneous. We discuss politics, movies, sports, life in general. We have fun together. Younger men want to talk about beer and cars and women. That is boring. Even though I enjoy all of those things, my brain turns to mush if that’s the amount of stimulation that I get. I have much more to offer than what I could possibly get back from a boy that hasn’t experienced life. I get butterflies when I am around him. He’s sexy and makes me feel sexy. We have amazing sex. Women, these men know what they are doing, they know how to please a woman both in and out of bed. They aren’t selfish and they definitely ARE attentive to your needs and desires. I’ve primarily dated younger men (a year or 2) but NO MORE!

Wow!!!!! Good comments, bad ones and lots of angry comments. I am 66 and madly in love with a lady that is fifty. What I am in love with is her! not her age or looks. known her for ten years as a friend with no contact and none attempted. Both single now and she is wonderful. She laughs and talks for hours with me. Her kids are well behaved and easy to love. She takes care of herself and so do I. Sometimes we both act like 18 year olds and at other times you might find us dicussing E=MC sq. Yes she is smart and yet she plays like a 16 year old sometimes. I believe a woman can be anything she wants given the right man and chances. Saddled with the wrong man or father or mother she can get fat or stay uneducated just as easily as a man. Older or younger we all are what we have made ourselves or allowed ourselves to become. Right now there isn’t another woman in the world that could drag me away from my beloved Kathy.

I am always amused by you Americans. You put so much weight on how someone looks. No wonder your divorce rate is so high. In France. men and women are able to look beyond the physical to the mental and spiritual things about people that really matter. Until you get a clue about relationships in your country, you will always be playing second fiddle to the superior race known as Francais! You like to say we are rude, but the fact is we are just smarter and we find you boring and tiresome. That’s why we come off as rude. My wife is 48 and I am 29, and we get along famously. It’s because we care about each other and respect what’s inside, as opposed the size of her breasts or the size of my nose.

Also my son runs a blood center…College kids are a ragin epidemic disease wise. They run the course from AIDS to hepatitis. He was saying 3 out of 10 had some disqualifying infection.

I have owned a lot of bars and I’ve found that the young women just drink way too much. It’s no fun to go out with a young babe and then have her get really smashed. I’ve dated a ton of young women (I was married to one for close to 10 years) and sometimes I feel more like a designated driver than a significant other.

Wow,Kitty you really do know how to pick them? You can’t blame all three men for possibly ending these relationships can you? I mean im sure you did certain things for the marriages to end. If you really think men are jerks you can end up bitter and alone or go date a female=]

Cote , you dislike americans and we are arrogant? Yes I am arrogant and I don’t mind admitting to that. Glad you can admit you have a big nose and so on as well if we are so annoying and arrogant than why bother reading what we have to say and keep replying to everyones comments? Childish and Highly interested in us Lovely Americans I see… We are very appealing I know it and so do you!

So I myself am and 18 yr old lady and the most common phrase I hear is “Age is nothing but a number” typically from older men. I myself just met an older man and he is quite the ladies man he is 36 and I have know him since i was 18 he is my dad’s friend.(I know right) He recently told me he has had thoughts about me since I turned 18 and he think’s im quite attractive and so on..Likewise he is hard worker and handsome. I can’t see myself seeing him with my dad and then on the side with me I think it’s wrong.Perhaps if he was not a friend.

Oh and young ladies were all going to be old so don’t think all these men trash talking older women..they basically are talking smack to us…We will be at that age so they need to shush. Appreciate youth as well as matureness.

For Brie … who married her old fart.. Yes his shriveled up dried prune ex -wives are who they are today becaues he has been through them. Your turn will also come. They also started out young and fresh. Makes you think. As for a bitter and twisted older women - I also prefer the younger fresh men for the same reasons the old farts like younger women - to use their bodies - definelty not for the stimulating conversation. The difference is - older women don’t have to PAY for the privilage of younger flesh, the willing to do it for free… no strings attached and we dont want to be looked after. We also older an experienced enough to know the difference. So let grandpa PAY and continue to babysit you

By: Jack Sanderson

Welll, unfortunately the political hatred of men dating younger women in the USA has turned into an actual law.

The International Marriage Broker Regulation Act (IMBRA) forces websites that introduce Americans to foreigners (all dating websites do that) to background check the Americans before contact is allowed. You can read up on that at www.onlinedatingrights.com.

The logistics of the background check are such that contact never happens or is greatly delayed in most cases.

Both Democrat and Republican politicians voted for this (except Ron Paul and Tom Tancredo) and the media is mostly silent about it: the media is run by corporations that want the Internet to be regulated so people are not anonymous anymore.

The Supreme Court will quietly uphold the law in a year or two, permanently ending the 1st Amendment Right to Assembly.

Regarding the above subject, it may seem that the bitter older women are in the minority online, but they control the Bipartisan Women’s Caucus in Congress.

It stands to reason: the younger women who want to bed down the male senators have less power than the female senators. The female senators get revenge with laws like IMBRA. The male senators allow themselves to be castrated.

It used to be that the Democrats protected “the patriarchy” before 1968 when the Republican Party was mostly women. Then there was a period when men really had their fun until 1986 when the Christian Right took control of the Republican Party and joined the anti-male feminists in pretending that there was a heterosexual Aids crisis…thus ending the Sexual Revolution they hated so much (because they did not want to see men having fun).

Since 1986, the Republican Party and the Democratic Party have been more anti-male than political parties in any democracy in history (even Sweden). Top level female senators in both parties are like the woman above with three ex-husbands and a chip on her shoulder about men dating younger women. Look especially at Maria Cantwell and Hillary Clinton. They are not going to be happy until all heterosexual men over 40 are unhappy. Meanwhile, there are man-hating males like Sam Brownback in the Republican Party.

Jack: Hillary has a lot of reasons to hate 40-something men. This law sounds like pay back for Monica, Gennifer and all of the other hoochies Bill bedded down over the years.

Haha.. this was hilarious! Here’s an interesting article on the same subject of dating men that are significantly older (or younger) than you:

http://www.savvymiss.com/love-advice/love-relationship-advice/love-and-relationships-archive/article/what-his-age-means-for-your-relationship-2870.html

It’s also a list, but also included the pros/cons of dating younger men, which I prefer. I don’t think I could get used to eating dinner at 4pm.

I love the younger gals myself, because they are just fun to hang out with. In Tahiti, it’s fully acceptable for a man to go out with a woman who is much younger than he is. We’re just too hung up on age in this country.

It’s always been older guys for me. When I was 18 I went out with a 32-year-old. When I was 24 I went out with a 40-year-old. And now that I’m 35, my man is 60.
I know what I like and I like older doods!

I’m 24 and with a 45 year old and I’m SICK of everyone making such a big deal out of it and reducing our relationship into its age component. When I fell for him I didn’t realize he was 45, I just really really really really really really really liked him A LOT.

Younger women don’t stimulate me mentally or socially. Sure, they have nice bodies, but I’m the kind of person who loves a good brain and a great conversation more than I do a hot little bod.

First of all, I am tired of christians judging others. You of all people should know that the only one allowed to judge is God. 2nd. Maybe you should be using forums like this to witness, not turn people off to God and christianity. 3rd My boyfriend is 14 years older than me, we attend church every sunday, pray together and have not had premarital sex. I am happy and things are perfectly normal.

Psst, money2145: France’s entry into the revolutionary war saved our butts. If it wasn’t for the French, we’d all be speaking with British accents.

This May-December thing smacks of a double standard. To judge from some of the comments, wealth and sophistication automatically entitle a man to serially date nubile twentysomethings for the rest of his life. Meanwhile women get thrown on the ash heap the moment they turn 35 and derided as pruny, wrinkly, bitter old hags.

And this arrangement benefits women how?

Reducing romantic relationships to the level of economic transactions (woman’s hot body in exchange for man’s experience and $$$) isn’t really the best foundation for a healthy, long-lasting partnership. Fall in love with a person, not a set of attributes.

One of the comments here talks about all of the STD’s that young people carry. I am a victim of it, so I know. I’m 44, and I went out with a 20-something gal for about a year. She was tramping around, and within six months gave me body mites, the herps and something else the doctors haven’t been able to ID yet. If you are going to sleep with younger ladies, BEWARE men. These babes are out there having one nighters and picking up diseases!

Man, I love these kind of diatribes and they resonate with me on so many different levels. Young b’s do it for me and always will, because they are vivacious, loquaicoius and when they do me right — they so, so very d-licious! It’s a quandry that I’ve injected myself into and I love every single minute of it. If there are any younsters out there (you must be at least 22) I’d love to hear from you. I am 51, but I possess the energy of a 25-year-old!

I have known my friend, an older man for now 18 years, and we have always had a spouse. Well, one day we were finding ourselves single, and he called me up. Mind you, we have been teasing each other for all those years.. and well when we got together.. hence his call, WOW, better than I expected. we love to do all sorts of things we used to like to do.. but now we can go the step further….. what a total blast! He is 18 years older than me. I am 40.

I’m a 28 year old female who is dating a 51 year old man (he’s older than my mother), dating now 1 1/2 years. I’ve had a crush on him for going on 4 yrs now. I pursued him finally when i gotten enough courage. He doesn’t have money or anything fancy and we just hang out at home, fishing and etc. He tries to give me money for things but I don’t accept it because it is not why I am with him. We go out and I pay because I never want him to think that is why I am with him. I fell so hard in love with him. Watching him work, being around him, talking to him, he is so hot!! There isn’t anything i wouldn’t do for him. If he were to ask me to marry him, I would in a heartbeat. I envision being his wife, making love to him everynight. Circumstances don’t allow that to happen. He leaves so much happiness in my heart, I don’t even see old or gray when I look at him. We laugh and have a great time just being together sitting on the porch or anything that doesn’t require money. I get younger guys trying to pursue me all the time. I’m told I could be a model if i wanted. And I’ve never had trouble getting a guy. I have guys hitting on me all the time young and old wherever I go but I am not conseded. This is the first older man I have been with and even he doesn’t understand why I want to be with him because he thinks I am too beautiful and could have any man I wanted. People look at him and look at me and think it has to be for money but he has nothing. I grew close to this man and it is possible to love an older man not for money but for love. When I was younger, I wouldn’t give older men (40’s or older) a second glance. (My sister married a man 22 years older than her age and I found that sickening and thought too it couldn’t be for love. They have 2 children and been married over 10yrs.) I was just like everyone else and couldn’t see until it happened to me, age is really just a number. And you can’t change with or without money who your heart falls in love with. But now I would never go back to younger guys after being with an older man. They have to be 50 or plus. Older men (50 plus) Rock!!!

You guys are making me believe in soulmates. Just when I though falling in love was hard enough, you people are changing the rules by showing there are no rules. Decency, respect, understanding, compassion, attraction, compatablity all count for the ‘real’ things in life. Age has no boundaries within healthy decency and all else just ‘happens’.

You guys are going to have people watching the ‘Lifetime’ channel or ‘WE’ if you keep it up. Next thing you know people will start having open minds and embracing social acceptance…and then you know what will have? Peace and a sense of community. Next thing you know people will start caring about one another and going the extra mile and then where will we be? Next thing you know we will start loving our neighbors and really caring about our fellow man. Be careful….this thinking can snowball.

I would like to meet some older, muy experienced ladies. They could teach me the things I need to learn, like how to make old school love. I am anxious to learn about many of your American traditions, likwe the Cincinnatti Bow Tie and, of course, the Cleveland Steamer.

Wow! I recently turned 40 and thought it was all over as I felt I was starting my journey down the hill. Few women don’t even know I’m 40 as I look at least 10 years younger. I’m a Christian male whose never found my better half, which makes me the butt of 40-year-old-virgin jokes. Many people in North American society don’t think it’s normal for a male to go without sex for this long. Would you believe I’m probably the only virgin in the military? For me the emphasis was never on sex. I enjoy romance and would really be into foreplay should the opportunity arise. The slow lane is where it’s at since there’s more time to appreciate what really matters. This blog has been a breath of fresh air for me. Keep the comments coming everyone!

I see that this subject is still a hot one and the comments just keep coming. Thanks for your responses. They’re very interesting to say the least. To some of you I would say the following: youngjealousy: Good for you. It sounds like you really love your older man. Raoul Garzita: Do you really want to do a Cleveland Steamer? I have a feeling you don’t know what it actually is, because it’s not pleasant (I’ve never tried it!). Sophie: Hats off to you for dating an older man, but I would keep the fact that you’re only 17 to yourself. In most states, your boyfriend could be in a whole lot of trouble for being with a girl who’s under 18.
And finally, to Dawn: Hey, if you like the younger guys, more power to you. I’m sure you can teach them some things that they’ll find useful in the future!

it’s so good knowing there are people like me out there…. I’m in love with a 15 yrs older man and I don’t care about his look, or his money because we just click so easy. It’s all about love, security, romance, and communication. But like everyone else, I’m having to go through the issue of people saying things, worse is that I’m 24 looking 18 and he’s 39 looking 40 and somewhat above, and another case of “40 yr old virgin”. However, that’s not what i see when i look at him… I guess love is blind. I really don’t care what strangers think, but i’m having a hard time with my family. It’s hard.

i know many relationships with age difference..man older ..all the woman are unhappy eventually ..and if older man love them so much why would they want to subject a relatively young woman to take care of an elderly man..usually these old farts leave their respective wifes and children and find a selfish hussie to get their money ..and after a while the hussie turns into what she was all along a whore ..that wanted to escape work ..and he will be an old fool that gets help from other man ….a 50 year old man looses testosterone just like a 50 year old woman is about to go into menopause god new what he did….most older man that go there are either sociopathic or otherwise with a character disorder ……

I had to read this one after I read the other one by Ed. I found this one jusrt as entertaining and engaging. You should have your own dating site, Ed. Your insights are hilrious. I agree that young babes satsify a need that I can’t find anywhere else. They are fresh and clean with a lot less baggage than the older ladies. It’s a force of nature — we have no control over it.

This makes me laugh but somehow there are some truth in it. I won’t 100% agree on the financial bit, but surely ladies are attracted to mature, torlerant, and giving characteristics.
Please make sure he does not have too much baggage (ex and kids), otherwise, it can be really hard to handle if you are not after his money.

well i can honestly say that even at my young age (23) i still fancy younger girls. Its look and good bodies that really count for me. I dont do older women as i feel old around tem plus a lot of them are just too bossy and selfish. Besides not all younger girls are gold diggers. Some of them date men with less money then men much younger then them and when im older ill be going out with girls much younger then me even if they are young enough to be me daughter.

I’m a 41-year-old beautiful woman married to a 62-year-old distinguished man; 6 years now. This posting is TOTALLY true! He loves me and dotes over my daily needs. He’s the BEST lover!

This is totally TRUE that: - I divoced my ex last year. I got married when I was 23 and he was 48, hence, 25 years of difference. The relationship lasted 7 years. He was a nice guy, very caring and loved me a lot. It ended because I could not handle his baggages: his 3 ex wives, and 6 children. It was too much for me ( in my 20s) to go through all these and a grandma in my early 30s… well, he is married the 5th time to someone younger (none of my business). But I have to say, my view of young women and old men is a very mixed one…. It has many ‘plus’ if the chemistry is right, but, if the baggage is too much and you do not have supports from you friends and families –it’s difficult. all in all, do not go against the norms.
The article is witty, and might be true to some extent, but not all young women are there for money. Some older guys are a lot more mature, polite and nicer.

I married a man 14 years older than I was when I was twenty. At the time the age difference didn’t seem to matter. Time wore on though and we seemed to have less in common. I remember receiving a pant suit (!) in a gawdy color and didn’t want to hurt his feelings by telling him I wore jeans not middle aged stretch pant things. Problem was, he couldn’t see me! (After all, I lived in jeans and t-shirts everyday. Shouldn’t have been too hard to figure out!) He simply was trying to turn me into a woman his age. I wanted to play tennis and go bike riding. He wanted to go fishing with the guys and leave me home, waiting to cook the fish. He thought I was crazy when I said I wanted to go fishing too.
Now the odd part here is that after our divorce, he later told me that he’d been most attracted to my youthfulness and the way I was so naive. It has bothered me every since, because upon turning fifty I did a lot of thinking about my relationship with him and as well as dating relationships. I was a typical cheerleader type in appearance, and well, due to middle age and refusal to live on yogurt, apples, and water for the rest of my life, I’ve added a few pounds and…I look my age(!) for the first time in my life!
Is it possible that men never were attracted to me for my personality and values and interests? Or was it just the physical thing? Sad, if this is the case. I truly am procrasting in even thinking about another relationship, since I figure there will be a million younger women constantly catching the attention of the man I’m with, and sorry, but that would just seem odd playing 2nd fiddle to some imaginary love of his life.
Maybe I’d do better to follow the lead of the older men, and in my case, play mother to a younger man. lol I could deal with that!
