My father didn't have children until he was 40, and I know many other guys that are the same. He went for my 23 year old mum :)

My 42 year old father waited until my step mother was 18 before they got married. My second step mother was 2 years older than me at the time. He said I was to call her mother but it just didn't seem right to me. She told me it was okay to call her by her first name. Dad told me that she was attracted to me but it just seemed to weird for me at the time. My older sister who was maybe a few months younger than my step mother just laughed when she heard I was to call my step mother, mother. I always admired my sister for the way she could stand up to dad. She told me later that the reason dad didn't hit her like he did me was because she was a female. When my older sister ran away from home to live with my oldest uncle I got into it with my step mother because she was going through my Chester drawers. When Dad said she had a right to go into my room I started to live in the attic of the barn. I had a lot of quilts I would sleep under and had a transistor radio. There wasn't any electricity in the barn but I had a flashlight. Before we had the electric bulb in the middle of room of the house running off the tractor battery I had gotten used to being without light so it really wasn't a big deal. And the good thing I know she never tried to climb the ladder in the barn. I had no Chester drawers up in the barn for her to go through, anyway.

I seem to get a lot of interest from younger guys. I am not a Cougar and really don't want a guy not much older than than my kids!!

Possibly, but of course it would depend on the guy.

Haha, pay no attension to me ^_^

Yep, it is my experience as well. I think it's when they have their mid-life crisis.

What about the guys in their 50s and 60s who also go for younger women? Are they still in their midlife crisis?

My whole life has been a crisis. I will have to reevaluate the mid part. Thanks.

If a younger guy contacts me, then i don't necessarily have any problem with that, same for if an older man does. There are women who have mid-life crisis too. Don't see how it's only a male thing. :why: Though i've yet to go through a mid-life crisis.

Exactly

I think there are three popular reasons

1. Perceived sexual stamina and 'newness' of a college girl
2. Actual emotional compatibility(either she is as mature as a forty year old or he is as immature as a 20 year old)

or

3. He doesnt want to be 'compared' to others or have much expectation placed on him and she doesnt know enough to expect anything special.

A very young guy in the hand is worth two in the bush!



Some guys in their 40s sometimes have it all put together by then. They
have a good career, are secure in their identity, have a good sense
of humor and know how to have a good time.

For reasons which are obscure, even young beautiful women find this
attractive and seem to have a hard time finding the same qualities
in their younger counterparts.



Such men may find themselves in demand from women of all ages and
might choose to be with one of the younger suitors who don't have
kids yet or other responsibilities. The younger suitors may be in a
good position to lavish more time and attention on them, be
physically fit, sexually active, be more demonstrative and be less
concerned with social convention and stability.

Then there are the leftover guys. The young and clueless. The
poverty stricken. The oddballs and wackos! Monomaniacal w/special
hobbies and talents! The old and clueless. The hydrophobic. You got
the gay ones (not that there is anything wrong with that). The
ones that hang out in the religion and politics threads and the
ones with shirtless main pics. The Kim Chee eaters. The ones with
7 little ones from 5 different Moms. The workaholics. You know...

Oh well...Whatcha gonna do?

9/4/11 :

yes

I know when I go for the much younger guy, it's part of my midlife crisis.

Well, I had a Playboy magazine in my Chester Drawers and she found it. I was so embarrassed. Yeah. You could say I got busted. She showed it to my dad. She raised such a fuss. Dad told me later that we should behaved differently now that there was a woman in the house. My older sister had already ran away. My older sister dad had her doing all the woman's work as we worked out in the log woods. My older sister I guessed copped an attitude and told me that she wasn't picking up after me. But before she left I remember dad saying we should start acting like humans might have lived here at one time. That experience has helped me in my job though. I do believe in the right to privacy, dignity and respect. As a very young child living with my granny my granny told me while I was being curious about so many things to quit pilfering. She said if there was anything in her Chester drawers that I should know about that she would share it with me. I really thought dad would be mad about the magazine until I found him reading through the magazine. That fascinated me as I was more interested in the pictures.

Book Review: All My Sins Remembered by Joe Haldeman

A collection of short stories all about Otto McGavin, following him through his workinglife as a spy. He's a specialist who impersonates people suspected criminals know so hecan infiltrate their organisations, his body changed to look like a person he is replacing and his personality adjusted so his reactions are as close to the original person as possible.

McGavin becomes a pompous anthropologist to investigate disappearances among humans studying an alien workers. A hired assassin involved in plans for war, and a fake priesttaking advantage of a benign, very long lived race. Within each story he has to discover what is going on and why, before stopping any criminal activity he finds.

Within each story McGavin has to cope with impersonating someone within their group of friends and contacts, careful not to slip up in any way, and working with limited information and equipment that he can smuggle in to the situations. As the jobs mount up,with more implied between the ones in the stories, McGavin's own personality starts to suffer, and he gets more cynical about the people he is working for and why.

A good set of interlinked stories. I found the way McGavin was discovered was a bit similar between two of the stories, but considering they were published six years apart originally it's easy to overlook. For a fast paced action read with some neat twists and ideas,you won't go far wrong with this one.

All my sins remembered

All my sins remembered

All my sins remembered
I await your verdict

and how you see me
with all your sins

Stardate 0005

Once upon a time in a land far away
Farther than Pluto or even Uranus
But not farther than the Milky Way
A maiden said she wasn't like us.
Alas, She said she was different
And we were filled with such joy.
It caused us to be oh so reverent
Because each one us was a boy.
Our thoughts oh how they twirled
For we tried to understand her
As she let us all into her world
Letting us know she was a girl.
We had never seen a girl before;
In all our travels she was a first.
What a strange creature to explore
And our curiosity began to thirst.
So many question we all pondered
But as we gazed upon her form
Other strange things we wondered;
She was different from our norm.
Strange feelings we began to share
And we were all shocked to admit
That he feelings came from no where.
We logged the feelings on transcript.
