25yearsMLC 10 Later I FILE D part 8

[25yearsmlc]

25, I enjoy reading your posts.

As to the 39 year old.... why not? Did you enjoy his company? I'm not saying you have to marry the guy, but if you enjoy his company, then go enjoy his company! Stop worrying about the age difference.

Jim, read my post again maybe. I found little to talk with him about and when he mentioned a show my son likes, I realized that there 1) was an age difference and 2) he and I are not on the same page.

To be clear, I found him relatively shallow. Apart from his attractive looks, (which is nice)
he just was not that interesting.

MAYBE due to his age, maybe not.


Sure, you might find you don't have much to talk about, but maybe you do, or you just have to work a little harder to find them. Or even find you don't want to talk to them at all, but still enjoy their company....

wait? What?
"Still enjoy their company" but don't want to talk to them -- unless you mean having sex,

if I can't enjoy or find much to talk about, or don't want to talk to him, there's not going to be sex.

I'm not wasting my time in a r without meaningful communication. Which I need for sex. Hey, I'm now aware of men my own age and a few years younger that find sex meaningful to THEM, as well. They want to be accepted with their gravitational changes and such, was much as i want the marks of being a mother - accepted.

Sleeping with a man I don't WANT to talk to - I'd probably laugh and want out of the bed asap.


I think that's the issue with men dating younger women. We are not focusing on the age difference.

I think the opposite. No offense. Truly.

But IMO men who seek out younger women want to look better in other men's eyes (Impression management king of the hill, trophy, virility)

and or they want a nurse to care for them when they are old,

and or just sex with a younger model.

I don't mean to insult men in this scenario, but I will say it's incredibly cliched to do. Hence the eye rolls

and like KML says'

when her ex h suffers from his illness (or when my h has a stroke, likely since he has A fib)

will the new schmoopie take GOOD care of him? Will she enjoy pushing him around in a wheelchair?

Or just call my son to hope she can get off the hook (which means calling me, to be honest).

or maybe she'll stick around until the will gets probated...

I find that tragic but it's not really in MY direct life anymore.

In my h's case the OW is not much younger (or so I'm told she looks middle aged)

but apparently she has had a lot of work done, and I've never looked at her so I can't care too much.

She wants to be a doctor's wife though, and now she probably gets to be that. I took the STD test b/c a friend who knows her told me I "need to get tested b/c OW has has quite the past." Super fun!

Beyond that, this ^^is not in my sandbox.

But saying men don't consider age in dating is hilarious. To me anyhow.

You mean to say you won't rule out age 55 or over when you fill out the online apps?

What age will you go up to, OVER yours?

Just asking...
