Meg,
I'm so sorry for chattering away on your thread -- I'll go put myself in the corner in just a few, I promise
, but you have me thinking about a lot of my past experiences in the dating world.
I remember a long time ago, when I actually was about 32 and on a dating site, a gentleman contacted me who was about 50. He seemed very nice, but his messages would go back and forth between rants about his ex-wife to how much he was looking forward to finding a beautiful young lady to be his new companion. It was glaringly obvious that the pain of his divorce was still very fresh, and I wasn't comfortable with the idea of dating someone who was obviously still extremely attached to his ex-wife. This was a whole lot more intimidating to me than his age.
I had to send him a final message trying to gently explain that I didn't see anything happening between us, and in his reply, he wrote something about what his life used to be, and "now I'm just an old man."
I truly felt sorry for him, and said a prayer, because he obviously had a very broken heart.
I just remember feeling extremely sad for him, that he apparently felt his life was over because, in his view, no (young) woman wanted him.

I respect your honesty.
Unfortunately, I've seen some relationships in which gold digging was a factor.
Fortunately, it's also made me aware of the legal steps that should be taken to prevent that, and I would encourage anyone worried about a potential gold-digging situation to take them.

I'm jokingly saying that of course, I mean it crossed my mind but I ain't no gold digger haha. I'd consider an older woman if we had a connection in terms of like interests and if she's taking care of herself physically that doesn't hurt either. Not too old though, there's limits lol

The ideal is of the same age or small age gap like 2-3 years. Because huge age difference becomes a problem as the couple gets older. One problem is that the energy levels don't match anymore. This problem is more common if the husband is much younger than the wife. It is less common if the husband is much older.
Lol...
Well the dad (whom I mentioned in the earlier post) had been bringing his son with him on his route, so that's how the son started talking to me.
When I found out the son's Mom was only like 2 or 3 years older than me, uh... Game over.
That's even way too much for ME.
By the way, Blackbeard, welcome to CC!!! Hope to see you joining in on the other threads as well.
