Is it normal to be attracted to someone 40 years older than you?

[ines123]

Just wondering if you think it is possible or am I just weird?

Well that

Oops.

Well that depends. Is it Robert Redford?

No.

Hth

Hmm. It might depend on how old you are?

I can't imagine that there are many men in their mid-70s that I'd be attracted to . I'm sure there must be some. As long as they're sprightly though mind .

Ha ha, not Robert Redford, although he definitely was nice in his day!

I knew I was weird!

Oooh, is it Tom Selleck? I'm a sucker for a good 'tache

When I was 20, there were some hot sixty year olds around. But I'm almost 40 now and guys in their eighties aren't really doing it for me.

How old are you ines?

It's difficult isn't it - I mean, I actually quite like older men. But then, an important part of being in a relationship (for me) is being at a similar life stage, and having similar challenges to overcome etc. I'm just not sure that I'd get that from FIL . So, DH (a mere child at a few years older than me) will do for now .

Also, what Molly said about the 20/60 thing.

I do think 20/25 yr age gap is the absolute limit for me.
Even at best case scenario (20 yrs old vs 60 years) is not doing anything for me, regardless of genders.

I think once you know someone you can be attracted to them regardless of age.

I can't picture a situation where I'd fancy someone in their 70's though, not even Robert Redford!

What about when you're in your 70s Heart?

If you're 21 and he's 61, and you don't want him for keeps, go for it. Even if you're 30 and he's 70, 35/75...

At 40 to 80 it doesn't sound right. Unless its Willie Nelson and he still has his plaits.

At 80, it'd be plaits and prostate, I'm thinking.....

It'd be really annoying going to work every day, while your partner swanned around being retired.

Although they could do the housework actually .

Not thinking of a relationship (couldn't), just kind of shocked by myself...

I am in my late 30s, and it has really taken me by surprise!

When you all put it like that, I would also think never! but somehow...

If I was ...they'd most likely be a corpse

Well, that's not normal Front.

The object of your affection is late 70s?!

Wow!

It's not for me.

I know a 70 year old that I would. He's more like 55 though in himself.

Not for me, I'm 61

I quite like Steven berkoff. So maybe exceptions can be made.

Munch, not even if you got his telegram from the queen?

If you google x year old man, where x = your age + 40, then click on images, you can get a feel for what's available to you in this age range .

It's probably a no from me.
