"I am not a number, I am a FREE MAN!"
actually, I may have said this before... but I have always had a 'thing' for the older woman.
However, that benchmark was set when a lot younger... and though I have aged (badly), the 'range' of ages that I first found attractive when I were young is still the same... so, on a technicality, today's 'older woman' can be younger than me, or indeed older.
so... errrm

I know what you mean, when i was younger i looked at my mum in her 40`s and thought "I wonder what that will be like" and now here i am, a good old 42, but like you I think is 42 old these days?
I used to look at profiles and think "oh no" at the 50 range but then i also used to look at the 30`s range and think that was now too young :shock:
So i think you pose a very good question, and maybe it doesnt really have a black and white answer.
i remember as a trainee of 18 saying it was disgusting old people had sex....and that it should be outlawed for people over 40!!
I got slapped for my opinions!!!
of course I am only 3 years away from 40 now and my opinions are differing slightly now!!
Age isn't a barrier any longer. I think "older" and "younger" people classify themselves in broad brackets and there is a broad mix of age ranges in both camps.
I'd say continence is more a barrier than age. And that isn't necessarily the case for some. :shock:
However I do think people have a sort of upper and lower limit based on their own age... At a rough (and I mean VERY rough guess) I'd say our limits are sort of -10 years to +12 years from our age (37). 27-49. Of course that increases with time and as with all things, there are always potential exceptions.
Youth passes but, with practice, immaturity can last a lifetime.
This is on my Mum's wall - she's 80 in June. :giggle:
Actually, having spent some of this evening flirting outrageously with a younger man :rascal: I think I could get into this older woman role :twisted:
Some interesting comments though. :thumbup:
I guess its all up to the individuals how they feel and what they class as 'older' in relation to themselves etc..
Me personally, have reservations about much younger people who are nearer my kids age than mine. If they are nearer my kids age than mine.. my own kids come to mind and it immediately feels wrong for me & I have alot of difficulty getting past them thoughts.
Saying that I did meet a m/f couple in their early 20's a few years back.. she was beautiful, curvy & sensual & he was tall, well built/broad & handsome..(both had just what turned me on) I did have the most ace playtime with them :grin: but have chose not to meet others since.
The biggest thing that annoys me on this subject tho is this line in any contact I recieve..
"But I love older women"... why? cos there's no consideration in that statement of what 'I' feel comfy with.
Minxie :rascal: xx
I had a message from a gentleman the other day, he refered to me as a old has been, and I should not be on a swingers site.
I am 48, in my prime for sex!
The guy I did not know, never had messages from him before, not chatted to him in the rooms, as I dont go in them hardly at all now.
Very strange!
