As long as you both watch the same TV shows, age doesn't matter.

I dated a 35-year-old for several months when I was 48 and it was fine. The 13-year age gap didn't seem to prohibit common interests and, at the risk of sharing TMI, the sex was great and occurred often. That said, many women in their early to mid-30s act is if I'm old enough to be their father when they find out I'm 50. Just wondering if the latter is the norm; if so, maybe I should seek women 40+.
Agreed.. I'm 48 and have been dating a 35 year old for 7 months. It's great. However, she's into older guys. I think YMMV depending on her likes/needs.
Once again, flagpole bloviates on a thread where he has nothing of substance to add other than to bloviate.
You are a bleeding hemroid on this message board
Saying you look 40, is telling me what you think of yourself. Then trying to get some form a confirmation that it's ok to date someone 20 years younger...
You sir, have self esteem issues. Who the hell cares what age the female is that you are dating? It should only be you and her that matter.
I know several people who are over 15 years in age difference that are married.
Some women really like that. But, 90% of them will expect you to be the bread winner, and to take charge. If you still have your self esteem issues, you will be with some woman who also has esteem issues, and you two will live miserably together....forever.
59 here, still date 22-32, like I always have. Kinda set in my ways, I guess.

Dude asked a question and I gave a credible answer with the reasons for it in brief fashion. He can take or leave the advice, but it is solid advice.
Methinks you don't know what 'bloviate' means.
Rent don't buy. Any age will do but play deep center field up against the wall.
Don't run off and try to remarry. Have fun.
"That said, many women in their early to mid-30s act is if I'm old enough to be their father when they find out I'm 50."
That's because you are old enough to be their father - technically speaking.
Most guys on letsrun don't seem to get that when you date a woman, it's not just the woman. It's also her friends and sometimes her family too. If she's super independent then you might not have to get along with her family, but there is no way around the friend test. If her friends don't like you then you're chalked. Most of the stupid dating advice I see seems to assume that people date in a vacuum, which is not the case at all. If she is embarrassed about you around her friends, or has to make excuses about you to them, then you are not gonna last. Just consider that. Good luck.
