Just curious, when you say interesting conversations, what are the topics that the conversations are about?
My hunky boyfriend is 15 years older than me. I'm surprised to be dating someone so much older than me but when you find the right person it doesn't matter. We are very in love, have a great emotional and sexual relationship and our age difference doesn't seem to get in the way. He is healthy and we like to hike and have fun adventures that keep life fun and exciting. :love:
To some extent age is just a number, and people who get along well and love each other, regardless of if the sex is great or mediocre and regardless of their age are lucky and should rejoice in it. Everyone is different and one person's hell is another person's heaven; People can look at others and be quick to scoff and judge because of their ages, differences or social status but at the end of the day they don't have to live with them. I understand older men's desire for a younger woman and vice versa. It fulfills some void they have and were probably born or raised with. Like younger men who are infatuated with older women. It satisfies a need and the opposite sex is just another aspect of it that makes it exciting for both.
I hope he taught you beneficial things that you can apply to your life moving forward and didn't teach you to not go for older men.
I was working as a security guard at a retail store. I was 46 and this gal was 20. I couldn’t even take her to a bar for drinks! We survived for 2 1/2 years, before things fell apart. We’re still close friends today, even though she’s married now
When I was 44-45, I was living like a wild man after my divorce. I was having sex with women in their early to mid 20s. They were hot and the sex was incredible, but good luck having a stable relationship with women that age (not that I was in position to be settled down). You're at two different points in your life. You may be set in your career path while a lot of them haven't even figured out what they want to do in life. I'm sure there are exceptions. I found women in their 30s to be more emotionally mature and secure. A ten-year age gap seems to work out well.
Over the years I have been fortunate to meet younger women and have maintained friendships with them. I’m not the guy that hits on them but have always been surprised by them hitting on me. The young woman at the tanning salon who wanted to sow her oats, the barista who asked me out, the restaurant waitress who actually put her number on the bill while I was with my wife, three girls traveling together on a cruise I was on with my wife and several others. And of course the woman I meet at the gym. They all were beautiful and intelligent and not only was the sex a learning experience for them but the conversations were stimulating as well. Several have married but several still stay in touch and we do see each other from time to time.
I have always been drawn to older men - I am not ashamed to say I have definite daddy issues - I rebel a lot, I am a spitfire, and refuse to submit or be controlled, much like my father tried to do. A lot of the older men I dated, was purely for sex because as soon as they told me what to do, I bailed. Things have changed a lot since then, being now in my mid-forties, I gravitate to men around my age, where the playing field is even. I would never date a younger man though; people just have their preferences. I hope it worked out for you; I just noticed this thread is over a decade old, lol.
