Would you date a senior citizen?

For whatever reason, I get hit on by two sets of guys. They are tenderonies in their 20s and old daddies in their 60s. Truthfully, neither groups appeal to me. You can have only so much in common with a guy who's more than five years your senior or junior.

However, recently, I did meet someone older who is interesting to me. Although I am not physically attracted to him, I do like his personality and views of life a lot. If I didn't have to kiss him, we'd be great together.
 
No..No way..Sorry for blatantly refusing,but dating a senior citizen will never be an option..I mean,they are so aged and roughly thrice ours and wouldn't have any essence left for romance or whatever..They are like parenting figures and not for dating..
 
I learn the hard way that being physically attracted to a person is necessary for a satisfying relationship in the bedroom. It does not matter how kind they are to you when you go to bed with them if you are not physically attracted to them. I started drinking before I could be intimate with a person I was dating to avoid feeling repulsed; I will never put myself in that position again.
 
When I was a younger that question would have been met with an adamant NO! Now I am approaching middle age and after contemplating that question, the answer is yes. Of course I say so because there are a lot of mature women who look better than women half their age due to good living and a couple of visits to a plastic surgeon! Money may not be everything but it sure does help in life.
 
Well let's see, I am 29 and I think the oldest woman I would ever date would be a 60 year old because she would have a lot of experience and she wouldn't be looking to settle down or anything so we could just do something casual. By senior citizen I am sure you mean like 70 plus, I don't really know. Maybe I would just one time to give it a whirl. Why not? You only live once.
 
No, I probably wouldn't. Life taught me to never say never, because love is something that happens and you don't control it, but I find it very unlikely for it to happen in this situation. As for your case, I guess you found a good friend, right?

I second that,they probably would make good friends with their huge experience,but as love interests seem unlikely,because the age gap is a bit on the higher side and we can't work out preferences at all.
 
Personally no. I am not really attracted to older guys. Plus, they may feel like they can boss me around or like they know more than me. Also, dating someone older is bad because usually the older you are, the worst your health is. I don't want to deal with a loved ones death anytime soon. :(
 
I do not think I could date a senior citizen. That is just to much older. 10 years is my max as far as years apart.
 
The senior citizen stage here in my country is 60 years old. My boyfriend is older than me, but I don't think that I can date someone that old. I'm sorry, but I just won't.
 
No, just no, my girlfriend is 5 years older than me but that's probably the max age i would settle with.
 
Wow, so you're saying that the emotional aspect of a relationship is there, but the physical aspect is a challenge. I have seen where guys 25 have fell in love with girls aged 15; vice versa. The person could be 20 years older than you for that matter, for some persons, there will still be true love. I can't see true love however, in a 20 year old girl being with a 75 year old man, unless that guy manipulate her from she was a baby coming up. Life is strange.

Indeed, I absolutely don't like dating girls even a month older than me. I may be weird, but I just don't like it. If it does happen however, I wouldn't resist it wholeheartedly...cause I believe there are some interesting personalities out there no matter the age.
 
Health is definitely a pivotal factor. Without it, the relationship cannot continue. Why get yourself passionately tied to someone you know you can lose anytime soon? You would be looking for a sudden heart-break
 
Absolutely not. I could not picture myself being with someone that could be my grandfather or great grandfather. I do not need a man that needs Viagra just to get up. I could not risk my self feeling horrible if I gave him a heart attack while in the bed. REALLY GROSS TO EVEN THINK ABOUT!!

You have reason when there is no love is hard to get intimate with that person. No matter the affection, the important thing is the love and the passion. Living with one elderly person is not a problem when that person you like and are passionate about truly.
 
Er... maybe when I'm older myself, but right now, absolutely not. I apologize if this sounds extremely hurtful, but I can explain! I feel as if I have a phobia of a kind of seniors. I used to work in a building, where there was our workplace in 1st floor and a retirement home in the ground floor. The only bathroom was at the seniors' and every time someone had to go, they had to face all those old people staring at you blankly and intimidatingly... I really, really despised that feeling those looks got me! So I think me dating a senior citizen would make at least two people only miserable and I'd like to avoid that at all costs.
