3. No, there's not even groove, dent, tan line or anything that would indicate I ever wore one. Which shows how long I haven't worn one, I guess.
Those are the reasons younger guys are giving you attention.

Where have you been in the last 10 years? Being an older partner is not only man's privilege anymore.

I'm 52, but I have the body of a 49 year old.

Personally, I could go ten years either way, but that's my own outside limit. I much prefer someone within five years--either way.

10 years? Who cares? This is sexism in reverse. Do you think ANY man would decline a relationship with a woman 10 years younger than they are? Many actively pursue women 30 years their junior. So 10 years is absolutely nothing. Go for it, life's short.

Wait, 10 years and you're too old for him? I disagree with your thoughts.

I don't have experience with the situation, but if a woman who was 10 or so years older than I wanted to date me and I was attracted to her, I wouldn't care about age.

Okay, this is making me unreasonably happy. Lee, I know you from the city board as a smart and tough New Yorker. I'm sure your wife is one of those great women unique to this city.

Well, all of you guys are helping me think about breaking out of the Fortress of Solitude. I am beginning to like this idea a little. Weird. A bunch of pseudonymous people can change your life, or at least your perspective on life.

I think the age difference is to big for a relationship I'm sorry. A booty call would be fine, but, a long term relationship I really think is doomed in my opinion although most women will tell you it is ok

It's all coming from a different perspective, bird.

You can't not take risks when it comes to love. a 10 year gap is not the end of the world. If nothing else, it helps you get over your solitude status, though I think you're not just looking for a way to just break out of it.

Honestly I think you should just go with it. If the guy is really interested in you, you should get to know him better. It's the least you should do for yourself.
