I have been thinking about this for a while and thought it was time to tell everyone what I think. As a 73 year old man, I receive many messages from many beautiful ladies on this site. It got me to thinking why ladies from 19 to 50 would be interested in a man who is probably older then their parents. After many thoughts have gone through my mind, I only wish I were about 20 years younger, but cannot turn back time. I have come to the following conclusions. The ladies that have written me may not like what I have concluded but here it is. 1. I think many ladies here are looking for a mature man. I can understand that. However, I think that they should look for a man who is say 15 to 25 years older than them. 2. Therefore, if you are say 20 to 30 years of age, the man you should be looking for is between the ages of 35 to 55. 3. If you are say 31 to 40 years of age, then the man should be between the age of 46 to 65. 4. If you are 41 to 50 years of age, then the man should be between the ages of 56 to 75. 5. If you are over age 50 then the man should be older than you. The 15 to 25 year age difference does not apply. I know that many ladies here will not agree with me, but it is what I have concluded. My conclusions are based on the fact that there are many things young ladies need to experience in their life and should not be tied down to a man who may not be able to keep up with you. I am not sure how the men on this site will feel about my conclusions. If you agree, let me know, if not, let me know what you feelings are about this. thekid
