Peter Cook, who has a $100 million net worth, is marrying the worlds ugliest woman in her twenties. If that’s what an actual wealthy person can get there is no one on this board that is in their 50s dating someone in their twenties.

Is a 15-20 year age gap really that surprising? I know a handful of couples like this and they seem to have great relationships that have aged well.

men- do you view a female in her 50’s differently who haven’t had children?

Some come here while they are planning to have children, or looking to buy a house or dealing with infertility but you know that with your smug ass

You forgot to add to throw shade at Internet randos. That’s the most important one. -smug-ass pp you’re quoting.

54M here.

I don't care if women in their 50s have kids or not, because I only date women in their 20s and 30s.

I don't think OP was asking the age cohort that you date, only if you yourself are in your 50's and if you have kids, do you also prefer to date people with kids, or vice versa.

She asked me how I view women in their 50s.

I don't view them at all. They are invisible to me.

It’s one thing to say you date younger women, but to say that women in their 50s are invisible to you is just so remarkably immature. Sex appeal is the only thing that connects you to other human beings? I don’t imagine your relationships go the distance.

Obviously not going the distance..since he is still trying to chase women.

Did you have something to add to the actual topic or just trying to stir the pot a little. The topic is more about people with children vs childless. This isn't about what age range you want to date.

If have no experience with women in their 50's then you don't have anything of value to add.

I am adding the valuable, relevant perspective that it does not matter if she has kids or not because The Wall is so far behind her it isn't even in the rearview mirror any more.

As divorced man in my 50s, I, too, don’t consider women anywhere near my age. But I understand the other people wondering why this guy is posting at all on this topic.

Might I suggest he start a spinoff thread on men on 50s dating? Personally I can’t even imagine dating a woman in her 50s. I’m so immature and have so much energy that there is a huge energy and life expectation disparity with late 40s and 50s women. Of course I’d be open to it if I met one.

Just because a woman is in her 50’s means she’s dead! I’m a 53 year old female, have a lot of energy, huge sexual appetite, like to have fun, still go to my alma mater games and tailgate like I’m 20, and look great! You and the other dude who won’t consider dating someone in her 50’s are doing nothing but feeding your male ego. And those young women in their 20s & 30s dating you are using you for your money, nice dinners, etc. I was in my 20s and 30s once, dated a man in his 50s.....it was kind of a joke and my friends made fun of men like you. You think your cool.....trust me, you look pathetic. Enjoy their attention now, because when you hit 60 no one will want you!

Here’s the thing, we don’t care if they are using us for money or connections. I know I’m bringing my A game and know how to make them O big time. I won’t get explicit so nothing more on that. I’ll also just say younger women often have much less if any baggage. And lots of women in their 40s and 50s seem insane after a few dates. Sorry. Not sorry.

Sure grandpa

The specific question was about dating. In other words, what am I sexually attracted to? That is not a matter for "mature" conscious decision for a man any more than it is for a woman. I know very well that most women in their 20s and 30s are not attracted to me, and I don't waste my time rebuking them for being "remarkably immature". It's enough for me that there are some young women who are.

Sex appeal is not the only thing that connects me to other human beings, but it is the prerequisite for a sexual relationship. This is so obvious it shouldn't need discussion. Of course sex appeal is not the only thing that is needed for a relationship to exist, but it has to be there.

As for you, I have no doubt that there are many men who are invisible to you as sexual beings. And for very shallow, immature reasons - e.g., they are shorter than you, or fat, or they don't meet one of the countless criteria on your personal list.

Thank you for your interest in my relationships. You'll be happy to know they are very satisfactory!
