Is it normal for me to find men who are in their fifties attractive?

He's too young to be old enough to qualify as my grandfather. He's only 30 years older than me.

I guess some people like to rob the grave.

Me too. I always have found men in their 30's and 40's to be the sexiest. Now that I am nearly 30 I am so happy that I can date men my age and not get criticised for it.

For me it is that they are physically more mature. Often more sure of who they are and what life is for them. Most have hobbies, friends, a career and are self sufficient. All nice stable qualities.

I think there is nothing unusual about, just the same as I understand that a lot of men find women in their 20's sexy because they are sexually mature but still young, fertile and healthy looking.

He looks about in his early-mid 40's, and most people are shocked when they find out his real age.

Agreeeeed.

Yes, he is kind and caring, passionate, honorable, and a loving father to our 10 month old child. I read what some of these people have to say, but in reality he really doesn't look fifty-six years old; he looks more like he's about forty-three or forty-four (that's where most people place him if they have to guess his age). I really enjoy the fact that I don't have to worry about him cheating on me, doing drugs, beating me up and raping me, and drinking alcohol everyday to the point of over-intoxication (like my last boyfriend did who was a lot closer to my age). I enjoy the fact that everything is more stable and going well.

Do u like rubbing their liver spots too?

My father is a drug addict and a drunk. The only strong person that I had in my life was my great-grandfather who raised me along with my great-grandmother. I often wonder if the reason why I prefer dating older men is a combination of father abandonment issues and also just by being raised by two individuals who grew up through the depression. I also don't seem to relate with guys my own age and when I have tried to date men closer to my own age it's always been bad.

Suggggggggar!

Well hey, at least I'm not like some person that I saw on here, I can't remember her username, who likes to have sex with her full-blooded brother. Personally, what would you choose? Relation or just someone who's older? Also, I will NOT date guys who are in their 60's, 70's, 80's ect. that's WAY too old.

You are probably right.

I agree. Now, I can understand if the person was under the age of legal consent (for example...14) dating a much older person (man or woman), but I think that as long as each person is of legal age than what the heck does it matter? Personally, I prefer a man who has his act together (for the most part) and isn't into raising hell (even though there are some fifty year olds who still like to drink and party like it's 1975).

What. The. HELL?!?!

You can't possibly mean twenty to thirty. If so, you simply must be the damned freakiest woman around, alongside the OP.

What women see in much older men, I will never know. Personally I'm inclined to believe it stems from deep-seated psychological issues.
