I have dated women much older than me and much younger than me. My one rule has to never date a woman younger than my oldest son. The truth is I have much more in common with the younger women than the older women. In my experience even at just 40 women mostly seem to have one foot in the grave and have lost the desire to explore new things and live life. Even the very active ones have little spirit for new things or desire for adventure. Sorry but if I don’t want to date some old lady that just wants to putter around town or go on an occasional cruise.
