I love the May/December thing. I am 22 & currently seeing a wonderful 41 yr old man. I've always liked, ahem, older gentlemen since I was about 15, but never acted upon it for obvious reasons, until recently.(I have a loving father, to counter the belief that I am longing for a male figure) I have always felt older than I am & I feel more mature than my peers. Young men in my age group do not appeal to me in any way. My reaction to them is "ehh, give them 10-20 yrs, then we'll see." I am independent & know myself very well. Also, I tried several times to catch a man's eye, but I would notice the ring on the finger, wifee not too far or catch up to their man, clutch his hand & glare at me as if I am a shameless gold digger. It's terrible how some young ladies have given the honest young ladies such a bad reputation as gold diggers, when I am someone who truly appreciates an exquisite, fine man in his prime who knows how to treat a lady. I would love to hear comments, questions, stories or well meaning words of encouragement & support. Be nice

I also have liked older men and find myself attracted to them. They are calmer and can read every move we make. to older men.
Good for you. I hope everything works out. I'd love to be able to give you advice, but only you know what is going to make you happy is you. The best advice I can give is to be carful and make the most of your time together.

I have found that you never really know what tomorrow brings and happiness can't be found in numbers of age. (Within reason) Pursue happiness not a numbers game. (Within Reason)

This is true, but you have to remember, we are attracted to who we are attracted to.
LovelyAsTheSun: well, a 56 yr old fit handsome man just showed interest in me if i were not seeing my honey, i would probably go for it lol he is really handsome
It is a life lived and the gifts he has to give others. They have so many more experiences, we as women will never have.
