Hey I mean girls still like Sean Connery, or at least did 5 years ago, so that counts for something.
You have more than plenty of hope, Jon guy. Quite a few of my friends prefer much older men as well and only will date as such. A good friend of mine 6 months back, who is 36, fell in love and just married a man who is 67. It's not at all uncommon. At least not in my world that I live in.

If I ever got married, I wouldn't get married young. So by the time I would get married I seriously probably would be in my 50s and would want a girl who is still attractive, but not so young I had nothing in common with her or couldn't relate, so someone like 35 to 40 would be perfect from that perspective. I'm glad that there are girls out there who could appreciate a guy who is older, because I certainly am in no rush to get married and if I ever did at all I know it would be long from now.

My sister who is only 29 years old told me she thinks the most handsome man in Hollywood is 53 years old Bruce Willis and that she would still find him attractive if he was not rich and famous. So there are some young women out there who are into men over 50 who are not gold diggers and truely are physically attracted to men of that age demographic.

the problem is how do these 50+ year old men know when it is right to approach a 20 something year old woman for a date?

That's great to hear Jeepgirl, I'm 56 and single, so maybe there's hope??? Married for 20 years, divorced, and now living in Charlotte, NC after leaving NJ. Approaching a much younger woman is difficult not that I'm attracted to only younger woman, my window is wide open at this point in my life...

Swear to God, two summers ago I went to Myrtle Beach, SC with my 4 sisters. I was 60! Not a hottie for sure. But, we could not knock the guys off with sticks. They were pretty much our age. I finally asked one of the guys why in the world they would sit around and flirt with 60 year olds who were married (2 of us were) and not go after the young 30 year olds who were out trolling. (No offense to 30 year olds.) But the answer was that they had nothing in common with 30 year olds. I always wear my wedding rings, never misrepresent that I'm not married - do not indicate that there will be nothing more than an occasional dance (shagging) and conversation. My husband trusts me and I generally go home and tell him about all the people we met.

One funny thing did happen. A guy asks me to dance. We dance, go back to the table, he sits down and then jumps up and says "I'm married." I look at him and say so I am. Later he asks me to dance again and then goes away. Next night or two I run into him again. He speaks and I say to him, btw, I called my husband this morning and ask him for a divorce. Poor guy nearly had a heart attack. That was the end of that.

We can approach them! Not that I'm 20 - just explaining the procedure.

I was on Jeep's team and still leaning that way for the most part, but it might be time for some variety and switching teams...

Just out of curiousity: How important should looks be when u want to be with somebody? I know everyone says that were are supposed to love other people regardless of appearance, but don't looks dictate a big part of what makes other people attractive. I mean how are you suppose to kiss someone that you don't think is attractive.

For me, its personality, looks, and has to know how to dress & dance well.

How a person acts should be more important than appearance. I told my students that I was glad I was not rich, famous nor goodlooking and felt sorry for those who were because they had no way of knowing who really liked them. What would happen if they lost their looks, money or fame? I know my wife married me for what I am and it's been 40 years together.
