| I don’t talk to my friends or family about this, but I’m in my mid 30s, and I’m predominantly attracted to much older men (think 55-65). I can’t really explain how or why this is; it’s just how I’m wired. Should I be concerned about dating much older men? Or is this OK? |

| Have you always been attracted to much older men? Got daddy issues? |

| It’s okay if you’re cool with spending your years playing nursemaid. |

I was always attracted to my friends’ dads growing up, professors, things like that. I don’t think it’s daddy issues. It’s just who I’m most attracted to. |

| I think it’s a bit bizarre but maybe you’re just an old soul? Use it to your advantage and at least get a rich old man |

| Bad idea if you want to have kids. |

| It is ok. Don’t let anyone tell you who you should be attracted to. If you like older men, go for it. The good thing is that most older men like younger women. |

It’s a waste of time and a bad idea if OP wants to have kids. Men that age won’t want to, and if they do, they will be dead or really old before the kid even gets to college. |

OP here. I’m OK with not having kids. I used to like the idea of having them. But it’s less of a priority. |

55 is fine when you are 35 but dealing with an 85 year old at 65 is not going to be fun.
Try to narrow that age gap or maybe if 55 is your sweet spot you can age into being closer in age to your attraction. I used to get crushes on older men. Now that I am older myself, I think OMG. |

| This is a bad idea; you’re gonna be taking care of an old man. |

| Guys that age are not marriage material because of the nursemaid issue. But if marriage is not your immediate goal go for it. I'd go for the lower age in that range and hope that he can spoil me. YOLO! |

Think of all the things you could be doing if you weren't wasting your time being a troll.
Maybe start a podcast at least you might get paid for posting nonsense. |

| It’s fine for fun but difficult long term especially if you want a family. |
