[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s a myth that there are lots of young women who would have sex with 55 plus men.  Or 40 plus.[/quote]

Keep thinking that.

I know it.  I know lots of young women.  I know they aren’t regularly having sex with old men.  [/quote]

This. Those of us actually in this age group know the truth. The two women I know who either are in or have been in relationships with much older guys have serious issues. Everyone else wants a guy our own age or within a couple years. We have a few friends who married “older guys”. What that means is the married someone mid to late 30s when they were late 20s or early 30s. A ten year age gap is considered a lot and will prompt a lot of discussion about whether they will have enough in common, if it will be a problem that they might be in different life stages, etc. it’s considered a real outlier. A 15+ age gap would be considered a major red flag. Any man over the age of 50 would be a WTF. Even if he were rich.

You might think “oh, I have no problem finding 20-something women to date” as a man in your 50s. You don’t realize the degree to which you are fishing from an extremely shallow pool. Those women didn’t pick you over some 32 yr old lawyer. They didn’t pick you at all, really. She’s going through something and you are a symptom.[/quote]
