I've seen a guy I like on a dating website but he's 59.
I'm tempted bar three problems that might arise.

1, His libido would probably be a lot lower than mine.

2, When he's retired, I will still have many years of work and that will piss me off.

3, I'd have to keep going to London to visit him and I hate London.

What shall I do?

How rich is he?

Does he look close to death?
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Fri 17 Jul 2009, 13:30, Reply)

He's not rich and far from near death.
In fact he looks years younger than his age, hence my interest.
( girlinthehole, Fri 17 Jul 2009, 13:31, Reply)

Age is just a number
Or so they say.

If he seems nice then go for it. He could be a lovely person and be just the man you're looking for.

note also,
all three of the problems you list, along with most things, can be solved with alcohol.
(bazmorningstar efil4nat3b, Fri 17 Jul 2009, 13:39, Reply)

I don't think there are many problems that can't be solved with alcohol.

There is too much positivity in these replies
the correct answer is no, find someone else, he's actually very dull and he rarely washes his penis. When he does put it to use he is a very selfish lover.

He probably wont like me.
I've made it plain I have piercings and a tattoo because I kept getting interest from guys who don't like piercings and tattoos.

He probably wants a sophisticated lady who wears dresses and can do the foxtrot.
( girlinthehole, Fri 17 Jul 2009, 13:40, Reply)

Nah he just want's a blowjob off someone he doesn't have to pay.

this...it is always this.

but if he licks your fanny in return, then maybe, just maybe, it will work out just fine.

If he's enough of a retard to be on a dating website
you proabably don't even want to meet this person.

I'm just kidding with you. Don't think too far ahead. Go for it. Chances are he'll turn out to be an immature , unappreciative prick anyway. But you could have lots of fun before you find that out.

There is no way an age difference of more than 10 years will not be increasingly obvious. And I speak from the 57 year old male perspective.

And I'm glad to hear it. But -
obviously you are an exceptional couple.
The only couple I have known with, strangely enough, the same age difference had reached a stage where she was taking 'evening classes' three times a week which often meant she would stay over at a fellow students house. And no-one bothered asking what she was studying.
Which worked for them. And as it didn't concern anyone else why not.
(His children from first marriage were in their late twenties).

I cannot add to that sketch without the implication that what later happened to them might well affect you.
It doesn't change the opinion in my post - don't go where sadness waits.

Hi BGB,

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

I was tempted to say "Suck it and see" but thought better of it.

Give him a go and see what happens - if you don't you'll always wonder, if you do, and it doesn't work, then at least you tried.

Let us know what you decide and best of luck.

[I'm just hoping that if I'm 'on the market' in 10 years or so, I could attract someone with your obvious, and less obvious, charms. Go girl!!]

No probs mate
and as for the libido thing - there are not many men around that would turn it down - ever. All of this male disfunction thing is just stress most of the time. If you fancy it, he'll be 'up' for it. And on the plus side - it can take a lot longer than 30 seconds to achieve fulfillment over the age of, say, 45. And if you go for a second round, you'll probably give in first!
