Relationship Age Gaps in Later Years

[JAM2b]

As you age, do you find age gaps more concerning, less concerning, or does it stay the same?

Edited:
I didn't mean to word it in a way that implies everyone is concerned about age gaps.

I have in the past been concerned about big age gaps, but not so much now if the man is older.

I was always attracted to men my age. A couple were a year older but I never went further nor did it appeal. Not in my youth or afterward. But there were occasions when I’ve connected with younger men and the pairings were enjoyable and increasingly so today.

I don’t believe the gap between the two should be the focus. But rather the suitability of engagement for everyone involved with an honest assessment of the challenges you’d face. The number one thing I’d look at is health irrespective of direction. You’re expending energy either way. When you date someone older it’s often too late to correct bad habits and the damage is done health wise. You have to consider what you’re willing to take on or able to handle in this season and later.

Men aren’t usually the best stewards of their bodies if a woman isn’t in the picture.
