Old Man curse?

Age is really not a factor once you are an adult, but really think about it like this if he was 70 and you 23 he was like 47 when you were born. Okay, that gave him enough time to go to college, get married, have children and GRANDCHILDREN, that are proabably your age. On the up side age is not a factor when the years are a little closer together, for example, I will be 30 this year and my husband is 38, and we have a great deal in common, but then there are things, I am totally clueless about, and remember, it is good to date, and probably okay, to date older men, but when you decide to really get serious think about, if they will be around to see your children, or for that matter, if he can evern have children. Also, don't just date someone for money you are right about that , because no matter what...in the end , they DO expect something for it.

Sheesh, lots of generalizations floating around about relationships with older men. First of all, that is assuming I want to have kids. Secondly, lots of guys my age already have families and don't want more kids either. Just because a guy is older and wealthy and a girl is younger does not mean she doesn't love him or he doesn't love her. I have found that older men are actually much more into love and romance than the ones my age and younger. Don't knock it until you try it.

I am pushing 40 and am currently dating a 57 y/o and a 61 y/o. One never had children and doesnt want them. The other has two daughters about my age. I have four children of my own and no longer desire to have any more biological children.

I find that men that are approaching their 50's are more secure and feel less the alpha male (having to dominate and prove something to anyone) a characteristic that I find to be VERY SEXY. Men that are approaching their 60's have this and want to have gobs of fun while they are still physically able to do it.

Me, I am not sure quite frankly how long I will be able to enjoy my quality of life as it has been deteriorating for some time so I am not concerned about 10 years from now. I will cross that bridge when I come to it.

I want someone to love me for me and not because I am percieved as being "pretty" just as the men that I date want someone to love them for them and not just because they are wealthy. If the chemistry exists between us as individuals then we become an excellent fit.

My children were a bit taken aback when they met my first much older bf (the ONLY bf they'd ever met and that was because it was very serious and I thought it would lead to marriage). But once I explained what difference did it make how he appeared to be on the inside if he is a good man on the inside and loves and cares for us?

I didn't purposely seek out men this age. They came to me. But once I actually went out with one, I have to say it became my preference.

I find that these older men as stated above are also much more considerate, romantic and far better lovers - period.
