I know you're looking for a male perspective but I thought I'd throw in my three cents. I'm all about the connection no matter the age and I shirk away from generalizations. However, I thought you may appreciate the answer Dan Savage gave to a woman who was worried about the long-term viability with her relationship with a much younger man, and if she should tell him to go. Most particularly, she was worried that her sexual appetite would diminish before his:

"Stop worrying about how you're going feel a quarter of a century from now.

Things that are important to you at 50—like having your ass fucked on the regular—may not be so important to you at 75.

Your boyfriend could predecease you and you could wind up spending your final years alone—or, hey, you could die together in a fire or a car wreck or a plane crash or chariot fisting scene gone tragically wrong. We Catholics call that, "Looking on the bright side."

Your boyfriend could be done with sex at 50—a chronic medical condition or anti-depressants or carbs could crater his libido—and you could be the one banging hot fuckbuddies on the side."

Never been an issue with me. If iike someone that's enough.

Its called a Boy Toy, but they found out much to their surprize

Yes, absolutely.

I have not had a dating relationship with an older women, but I have been attracted to them throughout my life and would be open to a relationship with one, although I'm now in the older category. Age is a number, I'm more interested in "attitude." I've seen women younger than myself that behave and think "older" than me. They are unwilling to try new things, go new places, question life, and instead stick to the familiar and predictable and be rather boring. Besides, an older women with a youthful attitude will usually be more experienced in life, cooking, sex, travel, or whatever and thus usually more interesting.

At 68 yrs.old I have recently dated a few older women, nothing serious just having fun. Oldest one was 83 yrs. was a delight to be with, she looked great went to gym 5 times a week, always going on vacation by herself, strong healthy personality. My best friend is 72 yrs. old, she looks 50 and hoot to go out with. just to name a few.

Why should there be a question except it was the tradition since men died sooner and so the woman looked for older guys for retirement income and life insurance. I think?

Who's the lucky youngster? I envy him!
