Just my two cents on the dime a dozen/under a rock/all that. Personally, I didn't even consider that it might be rude until I read the follow-up posts. I can *almost* understand how someone would be offended by it if they were already sensitive to it. But that's just the usual problem with written communication. It's easy to misunderstand someone's intent. Try to understand the point someone is trying to convey, rather than just nitpicking the way they say it. I think we've seen by now that what he meant to say is that there are plenty of 40+ subs out there and that simply finding one is not the issue. It's finding one, presenting yourself in a way that will interest her, and then keeping her. And that's all I have to say about that. For me, personally, I'm only 25 and even I might be hesitant over a 20 year old Dom. Is this unfair? Probably. I'm not saying I wouldn't give them a chance, but I have to admit that I would likely be biased against them from the start, and it might take some time to change my mind. This really has nothing to do with the hypothetical person in question, it has more to do with my own experience with guys who are younger than me. I recently gave one a chance, and was rather disappointed. Sure, he seemed very mature a lot of the time, but there were other times where the difference in maturity was just too obvious. I know there are plenty of younger people who are very mature. I think I'm one of them. And you would think that would make me more open to the idea. But experience is hard to argue with. I wonder if maybe the older women who find it hard to take a younger Dom seriously have just never had a good experience with someone who was younger, even while they were younger themselves. But as people have said in other threads, it's not uncommon for subs to look for older Doms simply because of the trend that "older = more mature and more experienced". Is it always true? No. Is it true more often than not? I think so. My question is, why are you specifically looking for someone who is older? What is it that you want that you don't think you will find in someone who is younger? That may partially answer the question of why some older subs aren't looking for younger Doms. If it's purely a physical thing, that wouldn't really go both ways. But if you're looking for a higher level of maturity, or experience, or something else that comes along with age, then..... well, do you see where I'm going with this?
