Trying to sound intelligent

I have nothing witty to put here...clearly i am not doing a good job of sounding intelligent.

The topic of discussion today is older men.

Is it appropriate for a woman my age, almost 24, to date someone who is 44?

Normally i would totally say no. What could someone who is 44 and someone who is 24 possibly have in common than the obvious desire to have sex together?

However...the reasons why i would not date someone as old as my father are thus:

1. I can't imagine a relationship developing between two people so different in age
2. I want a family, but not for several years. At the age of 44, you're pushing the waiting envelope
3. i don't generally find older men attractive.
4. It seems wrong, b/c society tells me it's wrong.

But...here's where my arguments fall down.

1. I'm not looking for a relationship with anyone at the moment, so why does it matter if i can't see a relationship developing?
2. I'm not going to start a family with someone i don't want a relationship with, so once again, why does it matter?
3. There are exceptions to every rule
4. Who gives a shit about society

I would like to get a little feedback on this. See what my faithful blog readers think. :-)

Maybe some other considerations....?

1. potential for shrivelled anatomy parts....ewwww...make sure nothing is shrivelled

The rest don't really have to do with age:
2. does he want relationship with you or just want to use you for sex? if so, are you comfortable with being used/objectified for your body? if he wants a relationship, would you be leading him on?
3. Using ppl just for sex has potential to get old afterawhile....but on the other had can be a lot of fun at the time...(not that I have any experience with this....)
4. It's possible you may find yourself more exclusive than you originally wanted to be if/when someone you really want a relationship with comes along...

Just some things to ponder maybe....love you Audra!

I would agree...shrivelled anatomy...ewwwww.

I'm not really looking to have sex with this guy. Or any guy for that matter. I suppose if it happens it does...but i'm certainly not looking to get into a sexual relationship with this guy. Especially if he has shrivelled body parts.

If things get to be more exclusive than i want that's when you have a talk. But that possibility is always going to be there no matter who i date, regardless of age. And i'm not going to not go out with a guy b/c there's the possibility he wants something more serious when i don't. If that were the case, I would never date anyone!!! ;-)

But with this whole thing...i may be totally jumping the gun, I'm not even sure if he was really hitting on me or not!
