bob the brave Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 Ladies, just curious. If you were in your late 30s - early/mid 40s could you date a guy who is 50?
HokeyReligions Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 Depends on what we have in common and what I'm looking for long term. 50 isn't old and a lot of us in our 50s -heck into our 80s are spry, young adventurous and stable. I will say that its scary now being married to a man older and experiencing age related health issues we didn't think too much about in our youth has put me in the role of caretaker. I don't resent him but sometimes I get a little down when there things I want to do and he can't. But I would still be with him even if I had fully known and understood all this when we were dating.
darkmoon Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 (edited) not if he thinks his senior years give him the right to be bossy or opinionated, not what you might want to hear, but just friendly words of advice, if you want to be a father-figure, well, fathers don't have sex with their young, lust is the motive, okay, if you want younger flesh, good luck to you and her Edited June 30, 2013 by darkmoon 1
hppr Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 Ladies, just curious. If you were in your late 30s - early/mid 40s could you date a guy who is 50? Mid 40s I don't see why not. I've met tons of good looking 50 year old women though so not sure why you'd want to go younger, especially 30. I'm 30 and I can't stand 30 year old women, I'm dating a 25 year old and before her I had a 45 year old...
LuckyLady13 Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 I totally could if he's hot, interesting, has a life and is in good moods often. And motivated! Most of the time, the guys I know in their late 40's and older seem to suffer some kind of syndrome (wondering if it's low testosterone similar to women hitting menopause) and they get very cynical, bored with life, depressed, lack motivation, stop caring about their health and appearance and get angry and rant that women are all "crazy". Because they don't like grouchy old men with no motivation? Makes them sane, if you ask me! However, rarely I'll meet a guy in his 40's or 50's who hasn't gone down this road. A guy who cares about how he dresses, cares about what kind of shape he's in physically, gets exercise, works out...takes good care of himself. And has a great attitude toward people and life. Charming, charismatic, good looking, intelligent and fun! Sometimes age really does seem to be just a number. Either that or there's a few older guys out there who never got the memo that they're supposed to get lazy, cynical and grouchy? One last thing - I know exactly what Darkmoon is talking about. I have seen and even ran into myself a few older guys who automatically try to start bossing around a younger woman, act like a father figure (really gross) and the situation left me thinking exactly what Darkmoon said. Fathers don't have sex with their young so a controlling, bossy older guy who wants to have sex with the woman he's bossing around has serious mental issues and is repulsive, to say the least! I think the older guys I've found attractive had a habit of being around younger people either intentionally or by accident and it kept them from falling in that old cranky man trap. My old manager worked with people younger than him for 7 years before I showed up. In his 50's, he's athletic, strong, has a sexy body, charisma, great stamina and a positive attitude. I was attracted to him almost immediately and he was attracted to me too. We had a lot of fun for a while but both had to move onto different jobs. I think it mostly depends on attitude.
salparadise Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 Isn't funny how younger guys seem to think life ends at 49? It certainly does not. Age differences make much less difference, people in general are less superficial, women look great and are very sexual at 45-50 and are comfortable in their skin... they know what they like and aren't afraid to ask you for it, they are generous and know how to make a man feel great, and adolescent games are in the past. I usually just snicker at such thread titles but thought I'd comment on this one... people shouldn't allow blockages in their perceptual tunnel.
thefooloftheyear Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 (edited) It all depends on what type of "50" you are talking about.. Im 48...Ill be 49 soon..Im in the best shape of my life-as good or better than most any 20 something..I have all my hair, no grey and never needed the little blue pills...I lead a very active life and honestly can say there is nothing I cant do because of my age..While I have a bit more aches and pains now then I did some years ago, need more sleep and getting close to needing reading glasses(ok-i need them at this point:laugh:).I do consider myself fortunate..Some of my friends who are the same age look and act like they have one foot in the grave and another on a banana peel.. I dont favor younger women though. When I say younger, I mean like 20 somethings or even early 30's...If I wanted to I probably could find available women at that age, but Id be happy with someone 40 plus.. Nothing more creepy than a busted up, fat, bald 50 yearold guy who thinks he is Gods gift and won't settle for anything less than a 25 year old hottie.. TFY Edited June 30, 2013 by thefooloftheyear
RedRobin Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 Ladies, just curious. If you were in your late 30s - early/mid 40s could you date a guy who is 50? +/- 5 years is the max for me.
MariaMaria Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 Yes. Depends on love and lust. That goes beyond age. It's what the person makes you feel.
