Over 50 dating someone in their 20's

[Anonymous]

I have a 24 yo friend married to 64yo man. They have a 2yo and a baby too, I don't understand it but she seems happy so far.

Look, it's pretty simple: money.

Of course she's happy. He's rich and she'll have even more of his money when he dies.

I am a mid 50's male. While I am not interested in dating anyone (as I am married), what I bring to the table is $$$$. I have much more money than almost any 20 something. I also know who I am, which some women find attractive.

I also know how to please a woman: she would be satisfied. Many 20 somethings do not.

So, the 20 somethings might look better than me, sure. But, I can take her out for a nice time. Oh, and I will fall alseep by 10, so she can go out partying with her friends or other guys and I won't care.

Nah, she's happy because his mother is already dead and she doesn't have to put up with the MIL crap that we read about here on DCUM.

The older person has the money and the younger person has youth.

Money in exchange for youth. Ick, no.

Having recently hired a young millennial, I can't imagine someone that age having enough intellectual heft and worldly experience to keep me interested.

I'm 50 and it seems that most of the younger people these days have done a lot more traveling than I have and they have a lot more in the way of academic credentials.
They have less in the way of life experience.

Hasn't been my experience at all, but I've lived abroad, have an advanced degree, and have had quite a few interesting jobs in various cities. I've known some very nice millennials, but not one yet that didn't feel like someone I would be a mentor for. In terms of finding a life partner, I have no interest in being a mentor.

I have work experience but I have only been out of the country once (to Niagra Falls) and I don't have a college degree although I don't know that it's obvious that I don't.

I've wondered about that too. He spends a lot of money on them (e.g., fancy dinners out, vacation home, boat, expensive designer cloths for her, lavish parties). DH and I sometimes speculate on how he affords his lifestyle -- we know it cannot all come from his job.

Please don't delude yourself. Unless you look like George Clooney, the initial attraction/spark just isn't there. You can have all the moves and technique and experience, but without the actual chemical/magnetic draw, it just isn't there.

But yes, some women can mentally check out for 20 minutes for the right price/security.

I have always thought that George Clooney looks like a turtle.

George Clooney is gross to me. He looks like a heavy smoker.
