thoughts on "may-december" relationships
i'm a fifty-five year-old guy who has been racing bicycles for 25 years, and who stays fit year-round by lifting weights 3x/week and riding 2-3+ hours daily. it seems i have always been involved with younger women, mostly because i prefer a level of physical activity and fitness that most available women my age don't have. i've always said i would go out with someone my age if they took care of themselves physically, but i just haven't found one yet with whom we hit in other areas, too [for example, i'm NOT a republican] who is ALSO somewhat fit. mind you, i'm in iowa, land of butterfat.
the downside of this is that as i get older, fewer women comprise my potential dating pool.
what are your thoughts on this? would you, or DO you, go out with older men [or women]? why or why not? what age limits do you have? i'll mention my experiences after i hear some other comments.
