date near 50

[SweetErika]

Hmm....I think one reason I like older men is they know stuff I don't. And one thing I can offer them (besides the obvious) is I know things they don't. I don't see how that's a negative. I like men who can teach me things. And I like to know guys can learn stuff from my perspective. To me, that's all good.

Excellent points!

My husband and I are close in age, but one of the things I love most is that he knows a TON of stuff I'm clueless about, and I greatly enjoy learning from him.

In general, 20+ years is too much of an age gap for me romance-wise, but that's because someone who's 50+ is likely at a very different place in life than I am and the whole 'closer to my parent's age' thing squicks me a little bit. However, I really enjoy talking with, and learning from, people who have far more knowledge and experience in certain areas. With a few exceptions, at this point, my ideal for a romantic relationship is <5 years younger to about 10 years older.

For what it’s worth, (and Surelywilder, I did realize that Chester was probably before your time), at the beginning of almost every show, Chester would come hobbling down the street with his stiff leg towards Matt’s office, (or where ever Matt was at the time), hollering in his corny hayseed accent, “Mister Dillon, Mister Dillon”, followed by an ambiguous line like “They're doing something terrible”. To which Matt would respond “What do you mean Chester”, and Chester would explain the current crisis. And then off the two would go to confront the bad guys.

Obviously, I can’t speak for Surelywilder, but from my perspective, as a man grows older, he needs friendship in a relationship as much, (or perhaps more in some cases), than he needs romance. Conversation for some men as they grow older is not about trading information or teaching someone about the past, it’s about sharing memories, and you cannot share a memory that you do not have.

In the time of Surelywilder, Festus was Matt’s sidekick. Festus always called Matt Dillon “Mathew”, and he would squeeze the word Mathew out of his mouth as if he were squeezing toothpaste out of a tube. And at the end of every show, Festus would exchange barbs with the crusty old Doc. To anyone who had not sat through those shows, those memories would be meaningless.

Surelywilder mentioned the Vietnam War. Afghanistan and Iraq is nothing at all like Vietnam, and if you didn’t live through that era, you cannot possibly understand what it means to someone who grew up in or lived through that time. Perhaps a little before Surelywilder, but the music of that era, Google the lyrics to Don McLean’s “American Pie”, or Buffalo Springfield’s “For What It’s Worth”. Those lyrics will mean something entirely different to a young person today, than they would to a person who lived through that era. Friendship is about sharing common feelings and memories.

As far as a sexual relationship, don’t count out older women. For many reasons, older women can be better lovers. With older women, you don’t have to worry about monthly menses or pregnancy. Older women often tend to be more monogamous, so STDs are less of a concern. And as a woman grows older, she tends to be more settled in life and tends to play less head games. And often an older woman is just as happy sitting under a starry sky talking about ordinary things.

George Clooney is 50. Brad Pitt is 47. Those two guys could pretty much fuck any woman on the planet.

This is not to say that age doesn't matter at all, but just to show that you don't need to assume that "I'm too old for her" or "she wouldn't be with someone as old as me."

And there are trade-offs with everything. A 22-year-old might not have heard of the Beatles, but she might have firmer tits and a tighter ass and pussy than a 42-year-old. But the 42-year-old really knows how to give great head and likes it up the ass. And has heard of the Beatles.

Also, if you're single, it's not like you have to restrict yourself to one woman. Date both the 42 and 22 year olds.

For the record, George Clooney, if you happen to be on Lit....you can fuck me anytime, anywhere, anyhow you want. Seriously. I'll go there.

Brad Pit....um....i'd really like to be with your wife.....

And I will wager you all I can give better head than any 42 year old out there. And I may not like it up the ass...but I take it like a pro.

Oh wait...I AM a pro!

Interesting thread.....nice to see intelligent conversation. Nothing like meeting someone that can share every part of your life, including your history!
