    I’m (53) happily married but if I wasn’t, I’d likely have to date (read hang out, not life plan) someone inappropriately young. I’m just not sure i could find a single woman my age that’s into what I’d like to do. In most cases I’d have more in common with their kids’ interests.

    Honestly, that makes me sad.

    EDIT: Finding a guy my age to date would be a lot easier, but although I am omnisexual, I am fairly hetero romantic.

      It’s easier that you think. Just take a class in your local jc college, once they find out you have a house, pension, 401k, and are a cool dude you can have several of them. My last gf i meet because she was a delivery driver and was crying about not being able to pay rent and her boyfriend was a dead beat. I straight up said, in taking applications for a 2nd and my wife is cool with it. She said, “you hiring?”

        I live in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Finding super cool young people who want to date me is beyond easy. I get hit on all the time as it is. I guess what I am lamenting is not being able to find someone my age that shares my interests and energy levels.

    yea… I don’t care how “two consenting adults” shit is… massive age gaps are always going to be weird and creepy to me.

      Then don’t do one. As long as one party isn’t a kid it’s not your concern.

            What am I telling, they I think 18 year olds are children? Here let me tell a little more… 25 year olds are children.

            Edit: a lot of downvotes for the idea that children shouldn’t be treated like adults based on a society run by pedophiles… And I’m telling on myself

              25 year olds are children.

              Based on what? A paper from the 90s that spectacularly failed to sample people above 25…

              “Uhm, actually” doesn’t work here if your basis is on research thats essentially misinformation at this point.

                Buddy is fighting hard to classify children as adults… Might want to scan his hard drive.
