At 28 I dated a 40 year old. My girl friends at the time were in their mid 30s and did not even date 40 year olds. I thought I was an ‘old soul’…turns out I just had no standards. He still reaches out obsessively and he is close to 50.

So true. Ladies, if he can’t get a woman his age and women his age actively avoid him, there’s a reason for it.

Even if an older man is absolutely perfect in every other way (lol)... I strongly recommend against an age gap because you do not want to spend your golden years taking care of an aging man. There's a huge difference between my parents' health in their fifties, sixties, and seventies. I can't imagine being 50 and taking care of a 65 year old. Especially after sacrificing your youth for him. We do not talk about this enough.
