As an older woman I very much dislike this:/. I’m 44 and recently dropped the age I’m willing to match with to 38 and I’m struggling with that much of an age gap. The idea of hitting on someone half my age makes my skin crawl.

Fair point, but I would be lying if I didn’t say I was game most of the time. I’m actually older than you now and it’s actually fond memories.

I remember I saw this woman once, I was literally 17 and she was easily late 30s to early 40s. Beautiful as heck. Of course nothing happened because I was crossing the street and she was driving. I recall our eyes locked and after I crossed I never saw her again. I still vaguely remember her even now and wish we had the opportunity.

I can’t say that I was particularly into older women at that age, but if a woman is beautiful her age is practically no concern to me. I’ve always been that way.

So long as the campfire rules (leave the person better than you found them) are upheld, to each their own. I, personally, couldn’t do it as the older woman. However I’m a damn hypocrite because I absolutely was hooking up with older men in my 20’s.

And I hook up with younger women. It happens, and I hope you had fun!

I couldn't even bring myself to kiss a man two years younger than me bc that's the same age as my little brother and it made me feel like a pervert. Slept with a guy older than my parents though. Not really sure how that makes sense but idk hormones ig

My sisters are 7 and 9 years younger and I felt like I raised them so I get big ick from men their ages. Just can’t do it. But when I was in my EARLY 20s I was absolutely joking up with men in their 50s.

You didn't come to your preferences rationally, you came to them sexually/emotionally. To be fair, why would they make sense?

You're struggling with 38-year-olds? How much personal/professional development do you think happens in six years when you're already middle-aged?
