This is how my midlife crisis works:

I'm still single and chasing women. I'm in denial to a certain extent that I'm aging and I'm definetely not creepy, however young they are as long as they're over the age of consent. I can prove it. How? They wouldn't go with a creepy old perv, so if they go with me I'm not a creepy old perv.

Q E D

I hope for your sake that you are joking.

I love the thread topic. It is so funny.
I hear you.
So you have no age limits to your dating, is that correct?
Maybe you would not neccessarily be 'creepy' to older women, just younger ones.
Now if they think you are 'creepy'....big problem.
Try going for a comfortable medium. Not young, not older.
Age does matter to some people.
I would not be interested in younger.
I want to grow old gracefully/disgracefully together.
Good luck finding your Scottish lass.

It's only creepy if I'm like one of those old men that I think are creepy. Therefore, I just need to make sure to not act my age and I'm not being creepy.

Heck of it is it is still not funny. Pitiful, deluded, and maybe pickled, but not funny.

Each to there own but it sounds bad.
I am thinking young ladies just over the age limit and that visual is not good.

I would not want an old man going with my 19 year old especially when they are older than me.

Oh dear! That is strange thinking. Maybe that is what the creepy old men told themselves too.

You need to accept you are aging. You do not seem to want a serious relationship, just a bonk.
If I am wrong, forgive me.

you mean like the creepers that scout out the high school parking lots?

the old farts that holler out window at the college girls walking down the sidewalk? oh ya like they got a real shot


speaking of old pervs
another board I frequent there is a thread that men post pics of hot chicks they like and most of the guys posting pics are middle aged and most of the girls are in early 20's.


I asked one of them once if he had a daughter within this age group
and when she brought her friends home from college did he spent a lot of time fantasizing over them

Denial can be a wonderful thing I s'pose.

I'm with Igor on this one.

Well, not a teenager probably. They just mess you about.

Yes. I'm certainly open to the idea of a serious relationship with the right lady. I honestly don't know who would want to put up with me though and I'm not really in a financial position at the moment to support a wife, so instead of being all sad and depressed about that I'm just going to make the most of my singledom I suppose.

And I'm not going to let people that don't like it bring me down. Whoop dee doo for me for posting a thread about how I still like girls when I'm in my forties. I don't even use viagra.

I honestly don't get the appeal of younger girls, personally I think most 21 year olds would be too young for me, and im 34, I wouldn't imagine us having much to talk about.

the engineer I'm mentoring is 25, and even he doesn't get some of the references I use...id imagine that would increase exponentially the greater the age difference.

unless the relationship is purely physical I don't see the draw

The draw is that they're women. So what if they're not my "intellectual equals"? You can have a nice chat with a lady without her also having a university degree. I suppose I'm an academic but I've never really dated academics.

But this is where the bit about not acting my age comes in. You sound more like you're forty than I do. I doubt you would have much in common with a twenty five year old. I can get on fine with them. Better than I did when I was twenty five actually.

The way that I see it and it may not be a really PC thing to say but I don't want to have a conversation with a woman as if she's a bloke.

Read the stuff that they post on here. They go on about how their moods are effected by the phases of the moon and it all sounds like psudo scientific balderdash. But what do we know and does it really matter if it's bollocks if them talking about it's romantic and kind of facinating? I don't think that their age really matters if you like women and what's different about them. Well, it might matter to you for other reasons but I don't find young women boring and on the contrary, it's old farts that turn into boring people with boring lives.

Lol i've experienced that too with younger chicks like aged 21or so who i dated only coz of how hot they were...the maturity & intelligence level just isn't up there to hold up much of conversations other then similar interests & doing the nasty

You're not helping your case.

It isn't up to you to decide how creepy you are. But I guess pretending to be a teenager when you're forty isn't so much creepy, as it is pitiful.

And if you think it's an accomplishment to pass thirty and not need viagra, you need to add "easily suckered by pharmaceutical salesmen" to your list of problems to take to your nearest therapist.

well there is the appeal and ego boost of "getting" someone with a young hot body

then there is the feeling of being intellectually superior and the one in 'control' of the relationship

and the whole arm candy thing
walk around with the trophy to show off to other people

and to your own admission you do not date women for their brains
and in fact find most conversations with women boring and tedious

On point .1. Just being a women for me isn't a draw, I'm not that desperate.

On point 2.
If a younger women wants a guy who acts 25, why wouldn't she just go for a 25 year old guy? why in the world would she choose an older guy who acts in the same age category? I can understand if she wanted an older gentleman but I'd guess she'd want him to be a bit more mature.

on point 3.
possibly, if wanting more from a relationship then just sex makes me act forty the yeah I guess so.

iam 66. and have a number of ladys in my life that are are under 40. and 5 over 50. and we all know they are not and will not be my girl friends. and this is fine with me. i find it easy to be friends with nice ladys. but i have just meet one my age that i have taken out that might become a girl friend. but i am not going to push it. she is so nice if we are just friends thats fine to. if it becomes more thats fine to. there seams to be a lot of nice ladys. i think what makes this work is i just be myself.

Where did I say there that I'm not interested in a woman's mind? What's hard to understand about me saying that I like talking to them and listening to them but I am interested in them as women and not in someone that could just as well be a bloke to talk about football or politics or any of the boring crap that guys talk about that I personally find quite tedious, even though I'm a guy myself?

My ex girlfriend was six and a half years older than me. I saw it as a deep and meaningful relationship and she didn't need to know what the heck I was talking about when I tried to lecture her about philosophy because she was right and I was being boring and it wasn't really a romantic thing to talk about on a date.
