He can't be younger than my kids. No more than 10 years difference. But this is all moot. Haven't dated and the prospects don't look good. Soon, I'll be too old to care, one way or the other.

Post more, let folks get to know you.
Might be surtprised what can happen on here.
Welcome to the family.

I want someone my age. Not someone I can throw over my shoulder and burp...

for the picture you're using

Young.....old

It doesn't matter. Some older people behave like babies and some younger people possess wisdom and a value system far beyond their peers.

That being said send me someone and right now would be good

I've dated women as much as 21 years younger and up to 7 years older than me.

When you're 56 and STILL seeking passion, it becomes more difficult. MUCH more difficult than 10 years ago. Maybe it's because most women my age are post-menopausal and have lost all interest in sex? And/or have given up on romance?

I work with a lot of young ladies in their late teens and twenties, and they ARE refreshing! But they are SO naive! I find myself often offering them "fatherly" advice, just because I care about them and don't want them to make foolish mistakes. The young ladies (and guys, too) help me to continue feeling young! There are SO many things they don't know, and haven't done yet. And a lot of old jokes they haven't heard! LOL! It's nice to always have an appreciative audience for my humor!

Yeah, I'm married -- but looking. My wife has become more and more of a selfish, controlling NAG. Not to mention that she's gained a LOT of weight and COMPLETELY lost interest in sex. She said that I could have a girlfriend but she doesn't want to know about it. O.K., if that's how she wants to be -- but she might get REPLACED! Don't know if I want to think about marriage again, though -- what's in it for ME? Not with another gal like HER, anyway.

O.K., I digressed. Sorry. We're discussing dating younger people. I have to say, the young gals are a LOT of fun, there's a LOT they can be taught, they are (usually) more passionate and enthusiastic -- but then, what are you going to talk about when you're not busy pleasing each other? Seriously.

Better to enjoy the company of someone closer to my age, say, 5 to 10 years either way. Someone who enjoys the same things I do, and has common interests.

all i can say is go home to ur wife. figure it out.

yes younger woman are more enjoyable. With Older Woman, there has to be more of a production, at times. But even with saying that, i like spending most of my serious time with someone closer to my age

I prefer the 30s and have many good reasons.

Very well put, ma'am.

BURN!

this is a totally different topic that he threw out there. my questions are: Why is she letting herself go? Why doesn't she want to have sex with him anymore?

I always think it's better to try to reconcile than to throw in the towel.

You are right but sometimes a Man get worn down from being rejected so much When the chance for him to feel like a Man again Hes going to go for it

no kidding sometimes there are good reasons for things like this to happen. It's better for everyone involved to try to figure them out. Then if it doesn't work go separate ways. Guess I'm just too old fashioned for what he's talking about.

NO musichic...
You have a good value system.

We live in such an era of throw away everything. Should we be that shallow that people and relationships are disposable. We don't know what we had until its gone.

At least try to figure out what when wrong...if it can be worked through, good. It took me several years to decide to divorce. I was very sure at the end and we didn't part enemies.

I agree with both of you, musicchic and polypeasant: better to find out what went wrong, try to work it out. Did that with my first marriage, hung in there for 18 years, the last 8 of which were pretty miserable for both of us. We finally decided that we had grown, but in different directions. So we split up. We're still amicable, no bitterness there.

After being single for 14 years, I finally met a woman I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. Dated for over 3 years! (Second time around for her, too, and she had been single longer than me.) So, we were both understandably cautious.

Reminds me of the old joke: what food does a woman eat that decreases her sex drive 90%? Answer: wedding cake! Oh, boy, was that joke TRUE in our case! I didn't even "get any" on our wedding night! Where we had been making love every night, suddenly it was maybe once a week. That soon changed to once every two weeks, and then once a month. For the last two years, it's been once every 2 or 3 months. Yes, we've talked about it, went to counseling, been checked out physically by doctors, etc., etc. The fact is, she's let herself go, quit exercising, got fat, and just doesn't care if she ever has sex again. Me? I haven't changed, not one whit. I still love her (foolish, huh?). I don't give up easy. I still make romantic efforts, try to seduce her, but she just isn't interested. Masturbation is more exciting!

Like Ron White said, "Now I'm a pretty good dog, but if you don't pet me once in a while, how do you expect me to stay on the porch?"

No, I don't want to "throw her away." We have a lot in common, and do enjoy each other's company. Fact is, both of us would rather be married and living together than to be single again and living alone. She just decided that she really didn't want to have sex again, EVER. So, where does that leave ME? Kind of in a pickle, huh? SHE voluntarily stated, "I don't care if you have a girlfriend, I just don't want to know about it."

Lately, though, she's become more critical, mean to me AND to my (male) friends, more judgmental, less tolerant, less understanding, more and more nagging ..... It's almost like she WANTS me to leave her. When confronted she claims, "I love you!" Yeah, right, she sure doesn't do anything to show it.

Before you get too judgmental on me, remember that it takes two to tangle. Yes, a relationship should be two ways, equal amounts of give and take. I give 95% and get MAYBE 5.

I've almost talked myself into leaving her, several times. But she doesn't work, and couldn't HOPE to support herself in the style to which she's become accustomed -- I'm the sole breadwinner. I just can't be that mean to her.

O.K., what other options are there for me?

Don't judge another until you've walked a mile in his shoes.

I am 74 and recently broke up a relationship with a 58 year old girl that insisted on marriage......for all the wrong reasons. Told her that I already made out my will. She was willing to watch me fall off the perch.

can't respond to you via email because of your filters. there was reason behind my madness. LOL

welcome to the forums camerods. hope you enjoy making some new friends here.

I don't think its old fashioned at all. It's just
common sense and common courtesy and how about respect??? I'd like to hear it from his wife that its ok for him to have a girlfriend. He'll stick with her just so he doesn't have to split all his money.
So I say: Go for the younger girls because they definetly will take his money. And so will the wife when she finds out!!!
