I have fallen in love with a man who is 60 and I am 40. I have no fears as to age and aging. I enjoy his company beyond belief. He is afraid he will not be able to please me and may get old. Surprise surprise. I understand how difficult it could be. I have no children he 2 20 years younger than me. Please anyone tell me your feelings about this. Am I crazy is he right?

First you say he's 20 years older, then 20 years younger

Just my opinion, of course...but I say go for it. There are no guarantees in life that you will find happiness. If this looks like it could bring you both some joy- what's the harm.
I would caution you to take it very slow until you find out if his children might cause you some difficulty.
Sometimes kids (even grown ones) don't look at things the same way we wish they would.

Agreed. You both know what you're doing here. Enjoy one another's company.

40 and 60 are perfectly fine.

It's only that 20 and 40 are bizarre

oh I could post a couple scenerios to you if it happened to you and then tell me you would tell her "sorry I'm not interested just because...."?


I agree but disagree,because I just went through a short fling with a 23yo and I'm 42 but on the other hand depending on the two involved it might work although in my case it quickly regressed into too many differences in mindset.

I'm confused too but hey, if the guy is 20 years older than you and at your age of 40 you are accepting of this and have fallen in love then by all means, have at it. Just know that when he's older his aging problems are going to be a bit different than yours.
