I can't go younger than 26 or older than 42 (I'm 33). Last year I was 36 and had a fling with a 24 yo. It made me appreciate older men. Perfectly normal in my book! Were you her first?

I am 43 and dating a 29 yr old. I look younger and he looks older. People think we are the same age, and we actually have a lot in common. I think we forget the age difference most of the time, but I am reminded every time I am completely zonked by midnight and he is still going strong. He still does things like stay up until 4AM in Vegas while I am completely bushed at 11PM. Long term, I am not sure this will last but, surprisingly, it has lasted much longer than I thought it would.
In general, I tend to be attracted to somewhat younger men (usually not THIS young!), or at least close to my age. I believe my attraction is due to the fact that younger men seem to be more open to strong independent women. Older men, not so much (at least in my personal experience).

I am 46 and hubby is 35. We have been together for 8 years and things have been going fine, but we do end up with our share of awkward situations.
For example yesterday at dinner, our friend's father kept asking us when we were going to start having kids. So of course we told him we weren't planning any ( I am 46!), and then he wanted to know if it was because I already had a big kid (pointing to DH!), so I reminded him that DH was a grown man... I know his wife likes to call him and their son (38) her big kids, so it wasn't offensive, just kind of awkward...

No. Not his first. I think he said something about having slept with a woman even older at some point. I don't really remember.

Thanks guys, but considering we returned from Vegas on Saturday and I am still recovering while he was humming in the shower this morning makes me feel ancient, and want to punch him in the face.

I need to attract someone even for just a flirtation. Verve for myself.

Oh, hold on here! Shouldn't she at least have to be able to hang with him to get that kind of praise? Completely bushed by 11PM? Are you kidding me?!

You really don't want to hear about me then! Normally I'm pretty tired by 11-12, however there have been times and um... circumstances... that kept me up well past 4-5am.
