Robert Z Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 (edited) But according to my hypothetical, he'll have to be capable of satisfying a greater need for her at that age. She won't stay stagnant. And having a great sex life with a woman in her early twenties (no matter your age) is different than a woman in her 30s and 40s. I'm glad it's working for you tho. I know a man in his mid seventies who sees about 5 escorts a week. And he had the reputation as the energizer bunny at the club [a high end club in Nevada]. I remember one night where he had two escorts back to back. They actually passed in the hall as one was leaving and one was just getting there. But then he races in 90 mile bicycle races [at 74!] If one's health holds out men can keep going to a ripe old age. Some have been known to be active to the century mark. It is far more about health and attraction than age. For example, just in the last couple of years I was able to reverse the need for Viagra through exercise.

toscaroscura Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I'm in an AGR. I'm 36 and he's 23. He's coming to visit me this week! My mom is married to a man 17 years her junior. He's only 2 years older than me. He pursued her hotly as an early 20-something college kid while she was going back to school in her 40s. They are very happy and going strong! It helped that he never wanted children. And no, I'm not consciously following in her footsteps. It just happened that way! 4 Link to post Share on other sites
Krieger Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I have a rule when it comes to age of the woman I can date. It is easy take your age divide by 2 than add 7 . So I am 31 and so 1/2 of that is 15.5 than add 7 so 22.5 years old is the youngest woman I should date. Link to post Share on other sites

Krieger Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 And this was determined how? It is just something someone made up. The half-your-age-plus-seven rule is a mathematical guide to judge whether the age difference in an intimate relationship is socially acceptable. Mathematically speaking, the rule is (Minimum Age) = (Age of the Older Individual) / 2 + 7. Who Is Too Young or Too Old for You to Date? https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/meet-catch-and-keep/201405/who-is-too-young-or-too-old-you-date half-your-age-plus-seven rule A convenient rule to define the youngest that a romantic interest can be before the relationship is indecent. Widely referred to and used, the rule has merit for usefulness. The full version states: "if you halve your years then add seven, you'll have the youngest decent age for a partner; if you double your years then subtract seven, you'll have the oldest decent age for a partner". However it's somewhat flawed thanks to the poor mathematical ability of its authors -- it gives a different result depending on whether it is worked out for a younger or older partner.

Older woman/younger man is a much better matchup according to the sexual peaks rule. 40 and 20 respectively ....wow, the damage they could do. 4 Link to post Share on other sites
RedRobin Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I think she's an idiot, but what the hell. As long as you buy her nice things and take her places, I am sure you will be useful while she establishes her career, etc. Maybe put her up in a nice situation with decent child support with your autistic kid because you decided to have kids later in life. Can't count how many 40+ guys I've come across who ended up in that boat. When she gets tired of you, you'll be 50 or sixty something trolling the OLD sites for young ins or hiring escorts like most of the other gents in your sitch here on LS. So, I guess... Have fun while it lasts. It is funny how pie eyed and irrational men become when it comes to much younger women... Like all logic gets thrown out the door. Hilarious. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

WasOtherWoman Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 When I was in my late twenties I had a delightful year with a man who had just turned 50. We had a blast, spent our weekends at his lake house, went out country dancing during the week. LOL, he wore me out. It was a lovely time in my life, and I look back on it with great memories. He did start to get clingy though, after a time, and started talking marriage, etc, which was definitely not any part of my short term plans back then. I had to cut him loose, but it was lovely while it lasted. Enjoy... and let it be what it is. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Krieger Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Well i will never date a woman my own age I am to old LOL. I want kids and want the baby to be healthy.

salparadise Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 My FWB is 27 years younger, and I can wear her out routinely - I'm about 60. YMMV. I think it's hilarious how all the 20-30 somethings assume that sex abruptly ends on your 50th birthday. My sex life took a significant upswing in my mid-50s due to getting divorced from my once-a-month exW. The most recent woman i was in a relationship with was nearly ten years younger. She made snide little comments early on about how she should be looking for someone ten years younger than her "so they could keep up" with her incredible sexuality. Yes, she claimed to be an every-day woman... well, I won't go into detail but suffice it to say she later on had to apologize for those assumptions. And as it turns out, she was not an every-day woman after all. 4 times a week was about her limit. She tried to claim it was only because sessions would go 2-3 hours... I called BS on that shyte. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Timshel Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Jiminey with this thread. Holy monkey I need to figure out how to multi quote. Someone will show me. (winky emoticon/NA) Ok, older, younger; woman/man; man/woman and all scenarios. Think with your brain.....the slightly bigger one. Heart and spirit. You guys all have strength and will, a sense of self and integrity. What becomes the problem then with accepting love and giving it? Krieg's, whatever, when lightening strikes all math formula's are off, same for all. Gauis and I have a 15 yr. split and part of me is definitely wtmonkey nuts with it, since I'm not cougar and I have never dated younger than me. There again, there it is. He looks way older than me so, whatev's. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
LoveMachine67 Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Then young lady I am currently seeing is 12 years younger than me. We have discussed the age difference, and neither of us view it as a problem. Our biggest difficulty is finding music that we both can listen to One thing that we both agree on, is that we are going to enjoy each other's company as long as our relationship works for each other. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

123321 Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 You're 31 and you think a woman your age can't have healthy kids? You need to learn science better. While true, strictly speaking, there is more going on. If he was married for a while and his wife was 31 and they wanted to have a kid, it would be very viable to start a family now. If he is single and starts trying to meet a person to potentially marry and have kids, that's a completely different dynamic. If it takes 3-5 years to find Ms Right and get settled down, and then maybe a few more years to settle in and get ready to have kids, you're looking at something very close to 40 years old; if they want their first child to have a sibling, maybe mid to late 40s, which is getting pretty deep into the danger zone. The harpies will be here in a moment to talk about his sperm going rotten, however the fact is that while male age does matter, it's a much smaller risk factor (which is why it took so long to notice it) and he can't control his age. So it's a smaller factor, and unlike the age of his partner, it's out of his control. So he's not completely insane on this one. IMO. Link to post Share on other sites
