[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For me, I had a negative experience dating an older man in my early 20s and, I’m retrospect, he really fetishized my age and our age gap in a gross way. I am wary of this set up when I see it because I’ve seen it play out in unhealthy ways enough times.

I don’t think it’s always bad and I have seen happy couples with bigger age gaps. [/quote]

Oh, also I find the opinion, when it is present, that only much younger women are “hot” and the younger the better to be offensive. I am 30 and I would not want to be partnered with someone who was disgusted by the idea of a woman aging. [/quote]

Older women frequently choose to look less hot. They often give up on keeping the weight in check, often throw away the short sundresses, often get androgynous hairdos. [/quote]

NP.

All those things relate to aging! It’s harder to keep weight off when you get older, both for biological and environmental reasons (a 25yo often has more time and energy than a 40yo to work out and eat well, plus your uterus starts to stick out), sundresses just don’t look as good when your thighs sag and you have vericose veins, and hair thins as you age and shorter hair can hide that better.

My husband is happy with me even though I’m bigger, more wrinkled, and saggier than I was before. If he thought I should keep looking exactly the same way as I looked when we met, I’d be so creeped out. I’d be looking for an exit probably. [/quote]
