Senior Women Who Date...Same Age, Younger Men or Older Fellows?

[Ruthanne]

I may be old, but I ain't dead. These young dudes who are dreamy do appeal to me. I have a few young male friends, but not for dating. Just nice guys and I enjoy their company. I am beyond the dating game.

I think I've reached the point where I am beyond it too.

Keeping your options open will bring you more happiness.

Self...take note. Remove all barriers in your mind. Take the risk, don't delay happiness.

Twas fun when I was young,
Tis cold now that I am old.

Running for what...???

Have you read through this thread?

Neither...yes I did read

I'm open to magical opportunities. But going through dating hell? no way!
I like what Betty said. Keep your options open. I think it was gutsy of her to fall for a much younger man and make a life with him!
Older? Younger? It depends on who he is INSIDE!

 

[Lizzie00]

I remain enamored of smarts and a wicked sense of humor....and oh yeah, someone who doesnt wanna move in lol......i’m not beyond it (yet) but dont spend much time thinking about it so guess i’m on the cusp of indifference, not a bad place to be so far

I envision a handsome young pool boy in a gold Speedo on his knees with his arms outstretched ..... to take the scrub brush and bucket I'm handing to him so he can scrub behind the toilet.

That's my fantasy and I'm sticking to it.

Oh yes, I made out a list of the perfect man! Specifically what he would have to be like: godlike would probably describe him. hahaha!

Usually to the bathroom....

 

[fuzzybuddy]

I'm surprised that few women are seeking true romance and love, just live-in staff.

I’m not.

Exactly...not making it

 

[tbeltrans]

I agree with you, Katybug....I tried living with someone after my husband died 10 yrs ago...it didn't work....both of us were too set in our ways.

I have heard that sentiment frequently among those in our condo association whose husbands have died. Some of these women do have male friends in a social situation such as when a group here will meet to play cards or go out to eat.

Separate comment from addressing the quoted post, it seems to me that there would be a lot of the little things that make a relationship interesting, missing with a large age disparity on either side. Little asides from the culture the older person grew up in would be a total miss, as would those from the younger person. To me, longevity in a relationship really resides in the little things that just make being around the other person a desirable thing.

Jeremy has re-energized me, no live in staff, just someone who truly loves me and he proves it to me everyday. I go to the gym everyday now while he is at work. We are very active after he finishes work and he is a wonderful provider.

 

[MarciKS]

After being with two younger men there's no way I'd date someone who was 30 yrs younger. Not gonna happen.

I never imagine this and have never been with a younger man before he pursued me, know not all work out, I am very fortunate and lucky he is truly wonderful guy and I am very thankful of that. It's truly special relationship.

...with superb handyman skills

 

[hawkdon]

Dating??? What is that????

 

[Gaer]

I've been stuck in the house too long!
The thought of a big, tall, brearded, burly, brawny, younger man sounds delicious.
Maybe a Viking or a Mountain man, since it's only in my head! hahahaha!

Judging by your post, Gaer, I'd say it doesn't even matter if he knows how to cook! LOL!

[dobielvr]

The young man I see on a part time basis is 4 yrs younger than me. I dated him over 30 yrs ago, and he found me on Facebook and here we are. He's so funny, and a hard worker. A great handyman too. And very handsome...
He's so diff. from the 'macho' guys I used to date and married.

He may be moving in, we'll see. I haven't lived w/anyone in over 17 yrs!

Good luck in the next step in your relationship, dobielvr. Four years isn’t much of a difference.
