[quote=Anonymous]I'm 55 (female) and look 45. (Pretty sure this is actually true, b/c of the many times women in their mid 40s with younger kids assume i am their cohort, invite me to kid stuff, then do a double take when I explain I am 55 and my kids are now both out of college!). Divorced, but I have zero interest in dating younger men. They just... don't know enough. I would MAYBE date a 49 year old but can't imagine going younger than that. And have had no trouble finding attractive mid 50s men who want to date women their own age. Of course there are plenty of middle aged men who want to date 20 year olds, but so what? I doubt I would like them anyway.

I do "feel" 55, though. Not "old," but "older." Skin less elastic, and it takes more time to recover from a rough night, jet lag and so on.

After my marriage ended I could not imagine ever wanting to be in a relationship again. I was so incredibly glad to be living alone, after 20+ years with children at home, much as I love them, and in a bad marriage.

But then I just thought maybe sex would be nice, and got on OLD. And ended up falling in love with a man I met. It has now been two years and we are talking about moving in together. I am not sure if marriage will ever feel like it makes sense, but... all this is just to say that sometimes life surprises you.
