Ingrid...I did think of this age thing, but refrained from mentioning it, because I was already sounding so cynical!
I see men my own age who are indeed attractive and phyisically fit, and I have stereotyped these as men who would not be interested in a woman his own age...Maybe I'm wrong, but generally I think they DO want much younger women...
I have two male art professors now, both of whom are older than me. One is married to a much younger woman, and though his age is 61, he and young wife are expecting a baby.
