Significant Age Gaps in Relationships

cathexis · 04-26-2018, 09:39 PM

Agree with Salty about own age seeming to act much older. My Partner who is 5 years younger even feels older than I am. Also, the neighbor who is just 6 years older acts (and therefore looks) older than me.
Neighbor even feels older than my mom would be had she still been alive.
I don't get it.
All but those much younger find my music and nightlife intolerable.

I used to date older as in 10 or more years. Yeah didnt work.

Now i only want to date someone my age or 3 years older.

What matters is the connection. I have indeed been in live-in relationships with a femme 20 years younger than me and also with a femme who was born in the same year I was. I haven't been in a huge number of relationships but most of them have been near my age, but age differences work fine for me too.

Femmes of all ages are amazing and potentially someone I could have incredible relationship with - partner, friend, etc. I certainly would never say a femme was too old.
