[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm late 50s. A year ago I was dating someone a dozen years younger, and I liked that. Since the breakup I've ended up sleeping with several mid- and late-20s women. One of them didn't become a girlfriend, or a FWB, but she had become a really close platonic friend. We have similar interests and challenges in life. [/quote]

How does a 50-something man meet women in the 20's and get them to be interested in going out with the older, perhaps not fully sexually-functional, kind? This is a serious question. [/quote]

I meet them on Bumble and Hinge. I am fully functional, and highly skilled. But I am also old enough to not be completely controlled by my hormones. It's a good place to be. I'll also note I have a PhD and a semi-prominent job.

I can try to explain what the young women I met in the last year like about me: one just liked that I was older and affectionate. She was looking to settle down. She had a MS degree in science. The second was a computer scientist with a BS from an excellent university. She liked my wild, kinky side and the extravagant dates I could take her on. she is an amazing freak. The third woman became a friend. She is finishing a PhD in a scientific field and will have an amazing career. I think what she likes is that I am so interested in her life and her success and she says she appreciates my wisdom. Despite our age difference, we both face some of the same challenges in life right now.

What a catch![/quote]

Why the sarcasm?  I'm not the guy with a PhD and semin-prominent job, but I have no doubt that he actually is something of a catch.  He seems to be having real relationships with smart women who are younger.  Does anyone doubt that he would get plenty of interest from women his own age with good jobs and educations?  He'd probably look like "a catch" to many of them.
