Who is really your type?

I have a simple philosophy when it comes to making choices, First I think about it one way then I think about about it in the complete opposite way before finally jumping into something.  Here are 3 example that have long term ramifications if you are just jumping into a relationship without thinking.

1.) Are men over 40 better dressers and better lovers than younger men? 

And do they treat women better? 

If you’re an older woman who is dating younger men. Is that really who you want as a long term partner? There are many women now in their late  30s to middle 40s who are excited by the idea that a younger man might find them sexy and even desirable enough to walk down the ail with them after saying the "I do(s)."  

 Reversal of the once older men with younger women.
 Cool, this might workout for a few women, but many might find it problematic as time passes. Women are naturally competitive and the older they get the less secure they will feel that their Lover-boy will stay faithful, as the new 20 something female  at work start making moves on the guy of their choice,  that is now thinking to himself. " I'm now the older man in this mix."
 I'm not here to say this will happen, I'm only stating that the choices you make now may be the not so right choice down the road and around the bend. You can't see the end of the road now because the road is not straight it has a few twist and turns ahead.

2.) So is  your preference an older Gent?

You are  a young and very sexy women, you might be able to easily hookup with  that older dude without much effort. He has all the attributes, he is stable,  still good looking, has a sense of style and good sense of humor,  that most women see as distinctive. Your Daddy in is 30s (picture) looked this good, now you meet a guy in his 40s and he looks as good as Daddy did 20-25 years ago. he works out regularly, keeps his weight under control, and still plays a little basketball with the fellas, can walk into a Jazz clubs and turn a few heads. He has style and has a command of language can communicate on many different subjects. Has been places that most young women have never even heard about.   He even knows the names of some of the artist that are on the top 10 list of the music charts and watches the "The Voice". So it is all good.
But how long is that going to last before your and his interest start changing because both your  interest will change.
 His ego may say "yes" lets have a few kids together. Lets travel together and do all the things he did before when he was younger with his first Love that didn't last forever after. But now he feels differently because his interest in repeating what he did before, may start fading. Now what are you going to do? think about it.. time is on your side and he may not have as much time to invest in a forever after. but one side note is; you will always be his young beautiful special Lady!  he is a Lion and you are the Kitten.

3.) Lets look at the designer relationships that are going to be fashionable families of the 2050s. You know the one most likely will be multi-racial and multi-cultural. You maybe after all a product of maybe a mix marriage. Parents, Grand Parents, Great grand Parents, stepped out of the normal, marry someone that didn't look like the person next door. So now you are  grownup and Know that the President of the USA was a the first Afro American President, You  voted for the first time, and voted  for something historical and then someone told you that his type and his kids might be in the majority in 2050 in the USA . So this is cooler than cool, it is always great to be part of what might be the group who run things. Your grandparents or parents were the baby-boomers, they ran things when you were born so now you might have kids and grand-kids that will be in the ruling class the controllers of the economic powers of the 21st century. You are even a big fan of the TV sitcom "The Game" the Pits family actually looked like this family (above). "Pitsy," the aging  football player  wide receiver was even lighter in skin color than this dude. Now you have the picture of whats to come. Are you ready for it and are you  Okay with it?
If nothing else you now have  3 examples of what is possible.
Of course you can stick to the normal 1-5 years age difference and the same culture and the same race etc.   whatever choice you make. Choose wisely.
