Would you date a 53 year old if you were 35?

Matched with someone on tinder. Have got on very well so far.. He was very upfront about his age.
I'm wondering if it's too much of a gap? Conversation has been good and free flowing. Are there more cons to pros with a significant age gap?

I wouldn’t

My friend's husband is 76, she's 50. She still has a sex drive and hubby has lost his and also the ability to get an erection even with viagra. She's finding the idea of never having sex again difficult to ingest. This is the problem getting with an older partner

No I don't find older men attractive both physically and mentally. I find them more rigid in their views. I would assume their reasons for persuing a younger woman was because they like to feel in control which I wouldn't like.

I’m early 30s and it’s a hard no from me

In your shoes, I’d give it a go!

Yes, if we had great chemistry.

Not an exciting prospect at all.

If I was a 53 Yr old I wouldn't be dating a 35 Yr old

Go with the mid-40s guy who lives with his mum.

Definitely not, women in similar aged relationships are often widowed. Do you really want to be alone at 55ish?
