Michelle ma Belle Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 (edited) OP, it's because of men like you that I'm having to date in the periphery When I jumped backed in the dating pool at 40, I was forced to rethink the whole dating process and start dating with a much more open mind then I was expecting. I got a lot of attention which was great for my ego but a lot of it was from younger men (20-33) and much older (55-65). Something I was NOT expecting. I can't say that I was physically attracted to all of them but I did date all types of men. Why? Because I wanted to be as open as possible knowing there is much more to a person than just their age. And I was right. I've had the privilege of getting to know some incredible men. Ironically enough, I met and fell in love with a man 13 years younger and carried on a LTR for 3 years (I was 43 and he 30 at the time). It was my greatest love affair and the most profound connection I've ever had. And it wasn't just about looks and sex. If I had remained closed minded and not have given him a chance I would have missed out on something wonderful. Now that that relationship is over, I remain just as open as I was before. Maybe even more. Just because I had an amazing experience with a younger man doesn't mean I only have eyes for them exclusively. That would be ridiculous and narrow minded. I'd still prefer to be with someone around my own age give or take but life is funny how it unfolds and reveals itself. It has it's own agenda for us. Rather than try and control it I just let it be and enjoy the ride. OP, if you're unhappy with the kind of "older" women you're attracting (aka no common interests etc.) then perhaps you need to have a better selection process. You're missing out on a whole genre of some pretty spectacular "older" women Edited October 20, 2015 by Michelle ma Belle
