I have generally associated with women slighly older than I am. Oddly, my companion now is 70, while I am 57. It works well with us. I have been with her for five years, and because I contacted MS and am now bedridden, am likely to stay with her for life.
Sex ended about two years ago, which suits us both. One of the dugs she takes suppresses her sex drive, and I am no longer able to perform that way. The hand still functions, but I do less of that as the years roll on.
She is probably the most intelligent person I have ever met, and certainly the best educated. A bachelore, two masters, and a doctorate. She's run the Lewis Walpole Rare Books library at Yale University for seven years, and is still probably number three in the world in her field, although she retired about three years ago. Her normal entertainment is opera and ballet, so I introduced her to football on TV. She asked about a ruling on one play, so I told her that she really needed to get herself an education.
Intelligence has always been more important to me than a woman's age. In her case, I am not sure why she hooked up with me. We knew even befpre our relationship started that I contracted MS and would become bedridden. We did have a common interest in wanting to write a fiction book on the same subject, which we have never done, but we get along. Her being excessively liberal isn't even much of a problem as I can always find a reason why her hero Obama is as defective as they get.
