ORIGINAL: LadyHibiscus It really isn't "socitety", I worry about being unfair to the younger man. I am NOT a breeder, not interested in adopting, and have a future as caregiver to three older family members... that's a lot to put on someone twenty years younger than me. Yes, those same things would be in place for someone older, but I think to myself, wow, what if I had today's life twenty years ago? LadyHibiscus, I don't think your assertions are odd. I feel the same. And for what it's worth my father echoed similar sentiments to me about older men when I was eighteen. I'll admit that I've been approached a lot by younger men. But I have my limits. It would be hypocritical of me to cavort with a man my daughter's age when I'd have issues with her doing the reverse. Plus I don't think I'm that patient. I look at it from the fairness perspective and right now I can't say I'd move in either direction. That's a lot. And in some respects I'm selfish. I don't want the responsibilities with the older person or the learning curve with the younger. But maybe that will change. Who knows. ~porcelaine
