The only issue I have with most older men is that they're looking for a nurse and a purse.
My entire career has been in healthcare--- mostly nursing homes, hospice etc. I also nursed a semi-invalid hubby for 9 years (who was 20 years older). I'm healthy, active and a brat even though I'm almost 50.
I intend to stay that way until I'm at least 99, then I'll slow down. Some days I can pass for 35...with a hangover and not enough sleep I can look like that picture in Dorian Grays attic.
If I meet a healthy, vital, active 55 year old who doesn't ask me to check his blood sugar, if I can work his blood-pressure cuff or do I know CPR, I'm all for it.
Honestly, I've yet to meet an older guy who doesn't get almost orgasmic when they find out what I do for a living and say "WOW! You're just what I need"!
NO! Been there, done that, won't do it again.
In the meantime, I'm flirting with the 25 year olds at the fishmarket. :)

I guess everyone over 30 starts to think like Dorian Gray. I, too, look quite a bit younger and thus I find myself in Dorian Gray's mindset, without the drugs and murder of course.
Don't knock the nurse thing though. It is a major attraction for any man no matter how young! Men want the Florence Nightengale syndrome.
