Over 35: Do you ever met someone of the opposite sex and think, if I were only 10-20-30 years younger?

Ten years younger might do it for me, yes. One of my ex-SO's was ten years younger than I was, and age wasn't that much of an issue.

Any more than that, and they're still just babies. I remember going to dinner with a mixed group of all ages. There were a few early 20-something "hotties" at the table. And then they opened their mouths and started talking about getting drunk and throwing up behind the dumpster at the club. Ew. No. I didn't even like hanging out with men of that age when I was that age, and that served to remind me precisely why.

Recently I have been running into young women who are 10-20 years younger than me who take me back in time. They remind me of someone I dated or loved when I was single, or remind me of the type of person I would have loved to date when I was younger. I asked my wife (Jane) if she ever mets younger men she would have been attracted to when she was single if the two of them went into a time machine and came out the same age. She says yes!

We have a secure relationship so can talk about things like this. Can you relate?

I think it's normal to think they way your are thinking. There's always the mystery element which makes it attractive.

However, I just don't think one person can always satisfy another persons needs 100%. We all settle on one way or another. it just takes a mature person / couple to understand this truth/concept.
