As a token young'un, I figure I ought to hop in with my .02. I have always preferred older partners, and while I claim on my profile that I do not discriminate based on age I am nevertheless hesitant to get involved with someone significantly *younger.* I've met some absolutely delightful men in their 50s and 60s, and had a huge crush on one my college professors who was in her 70s. Ah, that woman had an incredible smile. . .alas for roads not taken. On the other hand, one of the boys I'm seeing right now is 20, and I still have to remind myself constantly to chill out because he has yet to start acting like the immature idiot I wrongly assume he must be because of his age, so the discrimination often goes both ways. Anyway, younger folks who rule out potential partners just because of age are only shooting themselves in the foot, especially in this lifestyle. I like to think that eventually every young'un will grow up and get tired of other young'uns who can't get their shit together and instead happily consider someone who already has their shit together. Or maybe this is just me and I don't have enough patience for the fickleness of youth. (To which I am not even remotely immune) Personally, I often feel very special and important because the older ladies on this forum give me the time of day and offer me their respect even though I am pretty much a n00b. The advice and knowledge I find here is invaluable. Frankly, LadyHathor, any sub who rejects you solely because of your age is shallow and not worth your time.* The lying thing, well, that would bother me. Lying is a total dealbreaker, even if it's about soemthing stupid like age. *Exception: Someone in this thread did mention wanting children and family, and in that case I can see searching for someone young enough to start a family with. That is NOT a shallow desire.
