thanks, all. these are good thoughts and comments.
my daughter, who is 35, is well aware of my age/energy/interest levels, and jokes about it with her friends, none of whom i've ever gone out with. however, we DO go out from time to time in a group, and we all have a great time, and i openly joke about my major crush on one of them [married, sadly, but a hard-core runner, and hence, quite physically fit].
the "young enough/old enough" thing doesn't bother me; if it bothers HER, then it doesn't happen. but i DO agree that the quality and nature of the love/sex/romance has changed and improved with age, and i find that younger women do tend to enjo the hell out of that.
thanks for the feedback; i'd love to hear more.
as for me, i've gone from being married quite young, being a single parent [and now very involved grandparent] through the phase of being involved with many women as lovers [all of whom were from 8 to 20 years younger, and quite happy with it] while i was not interested in a long-term thing, to now, wishing to be involved with a single person, and not having multiple simultaneous relationships.
