I think it must be a Master's decision. I am 46, and I do think age is relative to what another person values. I try to "take care of myself" in terms of appearance and like to think I can be intuitive, observant, and sensitive to other people's needs and have a genuine desire to get to know them as a person and a friend, not just to satisfy an itch or craving. I know I walk a fine line on that "am I just scatching an itch" question (and don't mean to insinuate that wanting to just scratch one is 'bad or good' (I think it's very good. And know I am fully capable of long term relationships, and (eventually) want one. I know I'd want to be more than just a housework or service slave if service does not include sex. I like sex too much to want to give it up, and have a vivid imagination and a willingness and desire to learn, too. As far as where my "head is" right now, I am really trying to watch myself and am being somewhat cautious in that regard (it's one reason I haven't put a pic up yet, though that might not make sense to anyone else). That, plus I do work w/kids as a volunteer. I am thinking the pic question through, though). When I do partner "seeking" I believe my age limit for any partner will most likely be outweighed by how much we both think (and experience, over time) I can actually satisfy their needs. I know that's probably "too vague" an answer, but I do think age is mostly a number and that ruling it in or out, depends on other things people think they desire(and whether they've stereotyped an age limit as ruling out (or in) other qualities or life experiences (for whatever reason that might occur).
