age gap

I am just 61, but I have no interest whatsoever in dating women close to my age. I am interested only in women in the age range of 18-35. When I go out in clubs, restaurants, etc., young women occasionally approach me, so it seems to go both ways. I always overdress (Italian designer suits/jackets/tux occasionally) compared to the way that 20-something men dress. It is very flattering, but seeing that I have been celibate for 35 years, I have no clue what to do next...

I lost interest in this discussion ages ago. I have no interest in women over about 40.

Well if I had annoyed women insulting me, I'd lose interest too.

Of course. Besides, I'm celibate anyway.

It is interesting though when I do go out with younger women to see the reactions of older women. A lot of 'evil eye'.

To whom is your remark addressed, and what is the subject matter to which you refer?

You don't know what 'evil eye' means?

Yes, but why is it interesting?

I am a people watcher. It's interesting to watch people who are watching you, and try to figure out why they are throwing nasty glances your way simply because you're with someone much younger than you or them.

How do you know that's what they're thinking?

What else would it be? LOL

My date brought it to my attention.

Being with younger women obviously gets you a lot of attention

It seems so, though I don't really notice it myself.

The way we interpret other people's attitudes to what we do and how we imagine they are judging us says an awful lot about how we feel about ourselves
