Older Men/Women (now NSFW)

Gud jouk.

 

I REALLY need to start playing online scrabble apparently.

 

Speaking of the thread title, do I get to be a smarmy pervert when I hit 40 or do I have to some attain additional education from being married/having kids? Honestly, it'd be cheaper for me to go to Harvard law than do the nuclear family thing and lawyers are almost as bad.

 

Seamaiden is 8 years older than me, I'm 45, so do the math. I'm crazy about her, and she's the sexiest woman and best lover I've ever been with.

 

I'm in my mid-50s now. I was married to someone 7 years older than me for 30 years and the age thing isn't the reason we are no longer married. My current love is 3 years older then me.

Age isn't the most serious factor .. but ..

What I find is that women below a certain age don't interest me any more. Partially it is because I have a daughter who is 25, and anyone near that age would make me feel like a paedophile. However, I don't think many women get interesting until they are at least in their 30s . That may alienate some, I don't know, but it's just how I feel.

My only point is that not all of us "older men" would be interested in a woman much younger than ourselves. It's best to check.

 

I checked in with the pervert club and your name is already on the membership rolls.

I'm 55, have a 31yr old daughter, and have done my time with the raising kids thing. Both would be deal breakers for me. That said, the number of women my age that are interested in hiking, skiing, motorcycles, and wrestling big dogs is fairly limited.

 

Ripped from a personal ad?

 

wrestling big dogs is actually part of my job. and I like it. there's something really satisfying about wrangling an 85 lb. pit bull while another person sticks a fecal loop up its butt.

...maybe I should include that in my personal ad...

 

I know, right? Angela Lansbury in her prime. Dayum. I would have hit it so hard that'd be all the Murder, She Wrote.

 

I'd still hit it. In fact, I'd hit it so hard that whoever pulled me out would be declared King of England.

 

Helen Mirren is not too old for me. That's a relief.

 

Don't tell my wife.

 

Or your dog?

 

I swear that coming home with lipstick on my collar is easier to explain than coming home with a hint of St. Bernard on my clothes.

If I wasn't married ...
I got to hold Molly when the vet took her temperature. "Dad, you know what she's trying to do to me?".

Back on topic, it's not like we go to "Spousemart" and have one made to order. We meet, find attraction, and develop relationships in a variety of generally disfunctional ways. Age is just a number; but some of the baggage that comes with it can be relevant.

 

well said.

 

One of my favourite sayings from Jim Bouton's Ball Four was from the married ballplayer who told a young woman he was trying to pick up, "Yeah, I'm married, but I'm not a fanatic about it." And for married men, certain women ( ) just can't NOT be considered. No names, of course.

And I'm 56, with a 14-yo daughter, so she won't be out of the house until I'm well into my 60's. Basically, it means that much younger women (child-bearing age) are wonderful fantasies, but if they are interested in having children, it rules out a real relationship. Mind you, if they're just looking for a hot relationship... damn, I guess I AM a fanatic about marriage

 

Age is irrelevant. Have we reached this point in the discussion?

 

I think we've reached the point in the discussion where I can post this link and add nothing else to the conversation without feeling too bad: My New Favorite Tumblr
