Well, sure ... but curiosity didn't kill the cat, at least not right away...
I know... I just don't want to get caught up in some kind of Patrick Brown type of thing.
You seem to be at that age where you can trade up to older, or down to younger... or something. When I was 32 I took a break from my 24-year old girlfriend to date a 50-year old. The 24-year old was quite jealous and they almost met up at a play I was in.... hoo-boy.
This encounter kind of caught me by surprise. I didn't go in with the intention of becoming a MILF-hunter. And the idea of being with someone that much older than me isn't normally something I'd be that interested in. I had just sort of on a whim decided to view the property, as it's close by and I have always liked the house from the outside. I thought this might be my only chance to see the inside. She's charismatic and engaging, as sales-people often are. She obviously puts a lot of work into her appearance... my guess is that she's in her early 50s, give or take. She's good looking for her age. Tan, bleached hair, fairly fit, probably spends a fair amount of time on a treadmill or doing yoga or something like that. Implants, but not comedy-sized ones. I don't have a lot of experience with real estate people, but it seems like many of them put a lot of work into their appearance. Anyway, she looks pretty good with clothes on, and I found myself wondering if she'd look good naked or if she'd have old lady wrinkles everywhere. Maybe she picked up on my curiosity, I dunno. So we're getting together for drinks tomorrow.
I just met up with a girl pal (never dated) from university last night. Don't know how she does it - she is in her 50s and chubby and never goes without a guy for long. She is on a break with her boyfriend, and right away met a younger dude who is pleasuring her while the boyfriend (none the wiser) figures out if he wants to commit to a relationship. To those of you singles who meet people at the rate of one a year or more, congratulations. I know many who go years without a date. Maybe they don't try.
Some people are blessed with personality and people-skills that let them navigate social situations with ease. Others are blessed with kim-bobbles. If it came down to social skills and personality, I'd be so screwed.
Separate discussion with my gal pal from last night:
She said she would end a marriage over lack of sex, no question. Would you ? I would not. I would end it through cruelty, or desperate circumstances but not that. If love is there then I am showing up.
As I've mentioned before, I'm a severe introvert at heart, and the idea of wanting a constant companion is pretty alien to me. That makes the idea of marriage itself pretty alien to me... so maybe I'm not qualified to say what I'd end a marriage over. When I do crave companionship, physical intimacy is one of the things I crave most.
