The top 5 things I look for in an older man:
1. He can't be older than my dad. A silly rule yes and likely to be overturned. For awhile I wouldn't date guys taller than my dad.. but hey, Daddy will always be the standard by which men are measured.
2. He ought not be single. Not married either but he should be divorced or at least provide evidence of some significant past relationship. 'broken in'. You don't want a Hugh Hefner now.
3. He should be successful. I mean .. If at 50+ he is still trying to decide what he wants to be when he grows up, its probably a lost case. Besides, I would like to look up to him.
4. He should play golf. He should excercise in some way but I like Golf. It really is a gentleman's game. Golf, like me, requires patience.
5. He must be kind. All kinds of kind too: kind-hearted, kind to others, kinda fun, kinda open minded about younger women. Some older guys have a kinda bitter vibe. No to angry baggage.
The Disadvantages of Older Men:
1. Low sex drive. Viagra jokes aside; One guy used to be able to do it only once per week and the rest of the time he would make embarassed excuses. Until we came to a compromise. :)
2. Different social circles. There have been times I wished I could wuk up at a party, or just shoot the breeze with some xbox.
3. They are uncool. Some things your friends are on about may be greek to him: blogging, Grey's Anatomy, Tribe vs. Island People, Sean Paul's dancing ...
4. They enjoy the finer things in life. That means you may not agree on some simple cheapy pleasures like roadside dining, discount travel and shopping.
5. They are Gentlemen. If you have a thing for bad boys this aint the bud for you.
The Advantages of Older Men:
1. They are Gentlemen. They have treating you like a queen down pat. Whats not to love?
2. They enjoy the finer things in life: good food, good wine, good art, good music, ME! Enjoy it and learn from it.
3. They are uncool. Which of itself is cool. Christophers Jazz Bar instead of the upstairs in da club. Opens your mind to a whole new world of things. Cool!!
4. Different social circles. Again an oppertunity experience new things and new people. Also, he probably wont be put off by your career goals and/or success.
5. Low sex drive. This aint all bad. No marathon sessions that leave you sore. Makes them try harder to please you. You are a queen, remember?
Of course there are a whole lot of other issues worth considering but all relationships are about 2 people working it out. So try it, you might like it. ;)

Welcome Gela. Yea.. KG got me thinking about this topic.
and btw I survived the day without any drama. :)
KG: I trying to make frenchmen in October. If I do, drinks for sure!
This is funny and so true. I am so suspicious of older men, that I've never taken the time to consider the advantages.
Thanks for visiting my blog. I love yours and I'll definitely be back.
You are right on the $$$.
