[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone else find it really gross and uncomfortable when someone over 45, man or woman, is drooling over a 21 year old?

Or am I just a prude? I’m not judging, it’s just that I can’t imagine being attracted to someone that age when I’m in my late 40s.[/quote]

I don't know any men or women who do this that I have heard--who do you know that "drools" [i]right there in front of other adults[/i]? Are your friends going out with you and ogling early-20s people you see out in public when together getting a meal, or do you go to the gym and talk to acquaintances there who then are making lecherous comments about people this age they see working out?

I can't imagine any of my friends, male or female, voicing stuff like that in front of me or anyone else. What people think or feel attracted to is one thing; everyone's got their inner, personal attractions. But saying middle-aged-lecher stuff I'd class as "drooling," out loud to another person? Extremely gross and ill-mannered. Attraction aside, the expression of it is gross.

As for the feelings themselves? Speaking for just myself, I'm like you. I see them as kids, not as adults to think of sexually. I'm in my 50s. I have a 21-year-old college student kid, so maybe that influences it, but when I look at the cute kids or even the super fit, athletically built ones on DC's college campus, my response is "Aw, super cute, would make a good date for my DC" or whatever. They're children to me. I think I'd feel the same, though, even if I didn't have a DC that age. I am attracted much more to IRL people I see, or celebrities in photos or actors in roles etc., when they're in their 30s upward. I want them to look and act like adults, to be honest, for me to feel any attraction. [/quote]
