Not the OP but, what is your point. Are men supposed to write fewer words as they get older?Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:I'm a man dating in middle age. I'm starting to become aware of a really important part of sexuality for many women. A lot of women really crave a certain type of male gaze. I never really understood this sexual need before, and I think my obliviousness to it may have hurt some of my prior relationships. Now I'm noticing that a lot of women really study how I look at them. Some women even comment on it. Some seem really disappointed if I don't look at them the right way or they get really self conscious.
I decided to post about this after a recent conversation with a woman who's in her 60s, more than a decade older than I am. She wears too much makeup but she's nice looking, she has great legs, and she's very high energy and charismatic. I think she's also a little thick around the middle but she wears clothes that conceal this pretty well. At an embarrassingly early point in our first date, she made a big point of telling me that she still really loves having sex. (I'm getting used to women making statements like that, though, since several over the age of 55 have said this to me during first dates and every single woman over the age of 60 has said it to me.) I'm definitely capable of being attracted to women over 60, depending on the woman, but I don't limit myself to women in their 50s and 60s. I've also gone out with women more than 20 years younger. This 60-something woman asked me a bunch of very pointed questions about the ages of the women I've been meeting and she was a little upset by my answers. She said she's often approached by younger men but she hadn't gone any dates with men under the age of 60 in years, other than me, because she couldn't bear the thought of seeing a disappointed look on the face of a younger man when she took off her clothes. She said 70 year old men are always thrilled to see her naked, but she was worried that men in their 50s would not be impressed. As she was saying all of this, she was pantomiming her removing her clothes with her hands and outlining her curves. Watching and listening to her was a really strange experience. I guess I looked attentive enough because she's trying to schedule another date.
For a middle aged man, you say a lot. Can't follow so many words. What's your point?

Hello friend. I'm not sure which post you mean from a week or two ago, but, unfortunately, it could not possibly have been written by me.

Yup.

I recently have started understanding that some women care greatly about how a man looks at them, and these women sometimes care almost as much about how men look at them as they care about whether a man can perform sexually or how skilled he is. Some women need to feel desired not just during sexual activity but before sexual activity begins, and these women sometimes pay very close attention to the way men look at them. An older woman I met recently talked about this with me during our first date, and other older women have alluded to it.
