Nobody thinks I am her father. We look nothing alike.
By "constantly" I mean 2-3 times per week. Many women my age do like going for walks, going out for coffee, and going out for meals. The invitations have gone way up in the last few months.
I don't think the negative reactions on DCUM are anywhere close to universal.
You are wrong. Most people are talking about you and your GF's daddy issues behind your back. On DCUM, people can be more blunt because it's anonymous.

I'm a few years over 50. GF is more than 20 years younger.
Based on conversations I've had with women my own age and based on comments here on DCUM, I figured I'd encounter a lot of hostility or negativity when older women saw me with GF. That hasn't happened much. I'm sure some older women are just being polite and really think I'm a disgusting lech.
But...
I've noticed a lot of older women now smile at me, flirt with me, and even ask me out on "not a date" dates. They constantly tell me they want to go out for walks in the park or meals or coffee. It's pretty obvious that they think I'm more attractive because of GF. I'm talking both about women I know pretty well and about women I don't know but meet briefly in public places.
GF is not a bimbo or a sugar baby. She's smart, accomplished and interesting. She's also very attractive. I guess other women assume that I must have something going for me if I can get a woman like GF.
For the first month or so I was with GF, she became angry when I brought up her age. She said I was being condescending when I talked about the age gap. She said she was attracted to me, she knew what she wanted, and I should respect her. She's a serious person. I think this comes across when we are out in public.

All the "pervert lecher" and "robbing the cradle" talk is going on behind your back. Also, yes, women are going to simultaneously claim to despise you and wonder what you're giving this young lady that she's foregoing younger men for you. Especially if you're not that rich, like my husband was at the time.
The only people who ever talked about this in front of us were/are my BILs, my husband's brothers. But we're all good friends, so it's fine they're making jokes about it. And 20 years on, we're all complaining about our teenagers and helping our elderly parents and talking wealth management. We all have the same problems.
Just live your life, OP, and try not to troll on the web.
So you became the nurse.
