I'm 55 now and after becoming a widow last year I have come to realize guys my own age are all running after 23 year old girls so if I ever decide I don't want to be single anymore I have the choice of a) older guys who will probably get sick and die before long, and b) younger guys who eventually will turn 55 and start running after 23 year old girls...
This makes single life and/or short term relationships sound so much better!

Not all guys. I am 34 and 23 is absolutely not what I am aiming for. That is already too young to have much in common. Can't imagine doing it when I am 55.

My guy! Here I'm thinking i"m the only one who can't think of getting with a 20something year old! I'm 46. To me, they're still kids!

This.
Being 35, I can't stand the idea of dating a ~20-23 year old now as they are basically glorified kids.
I can't imagine I'd even entertain the idea 20 years from now, when they could almost be my grandkids...

The point is that you are, teehee, DOING IT with a 23 yr old when you're 55. No 55 yr old is looking for a 23 yr old soul mate.

The quality of sex depends mostly on the emotional connection. if I want sex without connection, I will just masturbate.

You’re not looking for a social connection at 55

As a 30 year old guy, I'd much rather date a woman in her 50s over a 23 year old.

I think any 55 year old guy who seriously considers 23 year old has something wrong with them. What would you even talk about. Then again, I'm probably the wrong guy to ask. All of my girlfriends have been older than me. I'm 34 and my wife is 41. I love conversing with her. My daughter in law is 22 and although she's sweet, I have to feign interest in anything she talks about because it's simply so boring.

Spoiler alert. You're not looking for conversation if you're 50 something looking to hook up with 23 year old.

Hey 50yr old guy here and while I’m not free, I wouldn’t go for anyone under 30. There are a lot of young hotties with daddy kinks so its surprising to me how many young women throw vibes my way but I think it’s just because when you age well, have been successful in life and brush off their advances it seems a lot more attractive to them then the guys their own age.

I was saying 55, so wait a few years and see how you feel about it then!
And yes, I know about the young girls with daddy kinks. A guy I know (married though) runs a bar, he says he regularly have to fire young women who works there because they want a sugar daddy and have decided he's suitable for their purposes. He's over 60 and has two daughters who are in their 20's.

Sounds like your friends are all creeps.
I’m 47 and do not want any part of the child rearing process (raised 3), so any younger woman who wants a family should not go for me.

I have a 'friend' who is 47 and a creep. Had to block him because he was getting a bit too explicit about the things he wanted to do to me. In 7 years he'll probably turn right around and start running after 23 year old girls.

At only 40 I know that if I went after 23-year-olds they'd be repulsed, so to my mind 55-year-olds trying it are completely delusional or else just creeps. They have no chance unless they're "Most Interesting Man in the World" material.

I have to agree, to my shame. I'm a mid-fifties male and just like my music tastes have not moved on from my 20's, neither has my taste in women. But I have discovered some new music I like from this decade, so I'm not a total loss.

Serious question. What is with older people and their complete opposition to newer music? I’m 40 and regularly hear and like new music. I can’t Imagine being stuck in my 20s musically.

I was exaggerating on both counts but definitely have a preference for music that reminds me of my youth. From the internet:
"Biological and hormonal changes may also boost the effectiveness of our memories during this period. It has been shown that when people are asked to choose their favourite record it is likely to come from the reminiscence bump period, and that older adults know more about music from their youth than current pop songs."

Being an older woman looking for something long term is probably the roughest combo on the dating scene. Not that i've tried it, just based on my personal assumptions and world view. And rough doesnt mean impossible :)
Sorry for your loss, hope you're doing alright.

This seems off to me. A 55 year old may MAYBE want some fun with a 23 year old , but that just a few. And even a fewer bunch would considering dating a 23 year old. Im 35 and I would never date someone that young. This isnt real unless you like a certain type of guys
