I'm 55, have visible abs, bench 300#, and have a very high libido. I don't have to settle for 40 or over.

Oh yay, our resident 50-something who insists he dates only 20 year olds.

He’s a guy with a magical mirror that doesn’t see withered and worn.

She felt that marrying a man ten years older has instantly aged her by ten years - she has to live a life of a much older person, so in a sense, ten years of her youth have been shaved off.

OP, in your case, I'm sure all his money would go to his own children so you don't even have that as a motivator.

OP here. I make good money, so that wouldn’t be a motivator in any case. Also, many people have made similar comments about having to slow down, but he has more energy than I do (just cycled from Pittsburgh back to DC, runs half-marathons, etc). He’s in better shape than I am! And he’s very energetic - loves to be out and about.

Anyway, perhaps I’m learning that is that he’s not a typical late forties man. Obviously it’s way to soon to be thinking about marriage. Will just take it as it comes.

Biking and marathons ... grasping to youth.

So sad, tell me something he does that is not narcissistic.

If you fall for someone that much older than you and your relationship endure, he will get to be an old man before you are an old woman. He takes care of you now. But you will eventually take care of him. I have seen that too often with my parents’ friends. Painful to watch. They end up widows in their early 70s.

Are you looking to have more kids, OP? If not, just enjoy being with someone who makes you feel special and you enjoy spending time with. You don’t have to get married.

Funny. I was at the pool and a dude flexed and said guess my age. I said 60? He was 57, "6-pack abs" but damn bitch, the skin and the chicken legs and the hair... You think u look 40ish...nah. That's men's ability to be delusional about how they really look.

Enjoy your tick rock the clock is ticking date. It amazing what women will settle for when they want a baby.

I didn't say I think I look 40-ish. I don't think that at all.

I do know that I have a better physique than my 30-something coworkers (who are all skinnyfat) let alone the guys my age who are total wrecks. That's obvious even without anyone taking their clothes off.

I'm not dating women who want babies so your final comment is way off base. Are you one of these bitter old women who can't stand it that some men can date younger, and thus feel compelled to attack the women who choose those men?

In your head. You don't look better than a 30 something even an overweight one. I guess there are some incels you look better than, congrats.

I'm not bitter or old, I'm just sick of old men not staying in their lane. Listen, I'm glad your healthy... say, I try to stay healthy.

You seem to have very little spiritual growth in your almost 60 years, sad.

But I have 6 pack abs and saying how much you bench is so 80's pops... do you also have a mustang? Your skin is old, your hair is old, your way of thinking is old, your vision of life is old, you are old... it's fine... you are suppose to be old.... be realistic.

Man here...55 yo. Good skin (no blemishes, few wrinkles as I have a dad bod), full head of hair in original color. When I am clean shaven, people think I am in my 30's. Plumbing works fine.

Down side is bad internal genetics. "Blessed" with a cancer gene which has resulted in stage 4 cancer. I also have genetically high cholesterol, which has resulted in 4 stents.

My beard comes in grey, and makes me look my age.

Oh, and I had been able to bench 200 until I blew out my shoulder.

How are those knees?

Not talking about wrinkles on your face... look lower.

^^^ also, does the carpet match the beard?

Almost 30 here and completely agree with you. PP might be fit but he probably has old, saggy, wrinkled skin which his 30’s coworkers do not. The idea of dating someone almost twice my age, and especially someone who pathetically compares himself to much younger men, is sickening to me. I’m sure young men would feel the same about me when I’m almost 60, which is fine.

Knees are fine, and the carpet does not match the beard.

No. That's me, and I didn't post the above. I can't even bench 200.

I doubt anyone really thinks you are in your 30’s. “You look so young!” Is one of those things people say to be polite. Good on you for making it through your medical scares.

No, 30-somethings are in the mix, too.

Doesn't matter what I see or don't see. Only matters what the women see. Since they don't see "withered and worn", no reason for me to worry about it.
