Question for all of you senior citizens....?

Question

Would you date some one who was in their 20s? Why or why not?

Answer 1

What? Do you mean for lunch... or in pursuit of a romantic relationship?

Lunch is no big deal.

But, if you are thinking in terms of a romantic relationship, get real. Even if a young woman (I assume you are a confused senior male) shows some kind of romantic interest in you, there are only a few possibilities for why she is doing that:

1). She has father issues. She's not sure why she is attracted to you, but she likes the hugs and closeness. It might lead to more than that, but chances are she's mildly demented and will drop you as soon as she comes to her senses...or finds a younger "daddy".

2) She likes the company. She's temporarily fed up with younger guys that are players and just want a quick sexual fling. She's attracted to you because you are experienced, sophisticated and wise...at least compared to the yahoos she's been dating. But, you will be yesterday's cold toast as soon as she is swept away by a younger man that has all the traits that she desires.

3) She likes the money. Economic stability is a major turn on for some young females. They have discovered that some older men with money are anxious to throw it around at a cute young thing. And, they are willing to go along for the ride...at least until they can use some of the old fool's money. These types are particulary dangerous because in the extreme, they can take the old geezer for all he's worth and are willing to do anything to get it - even marriage.

You've only got about 30 good years left, at best. Don't make the mistake of spending a good portion of that time playing the fool.

Answer 2

I am wondering why there is so much age discrimination going on here. IF the 20 year old finds the senior attractive, is what he/she wants for the time, what it the big deal here? Believe it or not, NOT every 20 year old sees dollar signs, and not every 20 year old likes other 20 year olds. This does not mean a lifetime committment, it is dating, no more , no less. And personally, I think we are all old enough to handle what others say about us ... there are always those who degrade others trying to make themselves seem more important. This is up to you and the other, no one else. There are many types of relationships, and who am I to judge what kind yo have. All I care about is that you are both happy for the time being...nothing in life lasts forever, so enjoy what you have while you have it...simple as that. My son dated, seriously, a woman 22 years his senior, loved her,....for 7 years. IT was not he that ended the relationship, it was her! Older people have a secret that younger people do not have...patience! They allow the other to proceed at their own pace in and out of bed...no wham bam thank you maam stuff going on here. I find it strange that no one above finds it possible that true love bonds are avialble to both the younger and older person. What gives here? It would seem to me that not only are the younger discriminative, but the older also...that is a shame. ! I would never chase a 20 year old person, but if they chased me, that is another story entirely...and not all 20 year olds are immature, gold diggers, or stupid. I think all the above answers fall into some ugly stereotyping, and I thougth seniors were above such foolishness. What IS foolish is to deny oneself the pleasure of love, no matter how temporary, because of percieved differences in age....very foolish. good luck and peace, goldwing.

Answer 3

I'm not a senior citizen but I am in my 40s and I couldn't imagine going out with someone in my 20s. Why not? Well what on earth would I have in common with them. In ones 20s you tend to be driven by hormones. You are just starting to experience life. As you get older you are less hormone driven but other things matter. Being able to talk to someone about things one shares in common is really important and frankly 20 somethings are in a different space than 40 somethings. We have experienced a great deal more and are often listening to 20 year olds deal with matters we went through years ago. And why on earth would a 20 something person want to go out with someone signing up for the old age pension? Can't understand the attraction myself.

Answer 4

I am in my 30's and I dream of a nice 18 year old boy, with hormones a raging. Most men my age are starting to slow down a bit. 3 times a day is just a memory for men that age.

Answer 5

I, personally, would not. I doubt that I would have much in common with them. They are not experienced enough, they just don't have the age.

However, I had a cousin and an Aunt that both married much younger men when they were 52 and 60 years of age. The marriages were stable and both ended when the women died. Both men have never remarried. Strange, but true.

Answer 6

If it was just for a date with no expectations, sure. If I had something in common with the person.

Romantically-speaking, no. I think we'd be out of step with each other in interest and what we want out of life. So set in my ways. Twenties is awfully young. I prefer no more than a 7-year difference if I were going to consider it.

Answer 7

well,why not i dont consider myself old.i think it would be a blast,they could learn a thing or too about how it use to be,and i would learn how the young ones are doing things today.all my friends use to be much younger than me and we all had a great time together.but over the years i have lost touch with them and now my friends are a older crowd.but sure i can have a good time with friends of eny age,weather dating or just a casual friendship.enjoy

Answer 8

I observed a image of Raquel Welch no longer beforehand. She's nonetheless a wowie. And Cher nonetheless looks great. i could lots extremely be around women closer my own age than with youthful ones. i used to be in a paintings ecosystem with women of each age and that i favorite those i could desire to truly carry a communication with.

Answer 9

Probably not, because I'd feel like I was robbing the cradle. I have children older than 20 somethings.

Answer 10

No I am married, even if I was free I would not when I have sons in their 30s
