Hello Mister, would you may be so kind to give me your perspective on how flirts with a significant age gap. Why do you think older man may find e.g. young strong sort haired women attractive?

I’m always surprised when young women worry that older men might not find them attractive.  I mean it makes structural sense, meaning I’m always surprised that any younger woman would be interested in me.  So.  Balance!

But here’s the thing: Before you can be 32 or 52 or
 I dunno
 102 you have to have been 22.  And if it makes sense that one liked 22-year-old women when they were 22 then, based on experience and memory if nothing else it makes sense that they’d be just as interested when they’re older.

Meanwhile, it seems odd that women would be attracted to older men because
 they’ve never been older.  And
 well
 how does that even work?  I mean, after my parents divorced my mom dated a succession of men who were considerably older than her, right up into her early 80s when she was as close to a 96-year-old man as I’d ever seen her be close with anyone.  (Maybe age play runs in my family?!?!  Hmm, on my dad’s side my grandfather was 15 or 16 years younger than my grandmother.  Maybe it really does run in my family!!!  But I digress
)  My concern is that at a certain age you just sort of run out of older men.  Or else do the 42-year-old “older men” you were interested in when you were 22 become younger men when you’re 62?


As for your actual question about flirting with an older man you may have to be more direct than you think.  Otherwise, based on my discussion above, he’s very likely to think he’s imagining things.  And no, “more direct” doesn’t mean “hey mister, you want a blowjob!!!”  Because contrary to popular belief that’s more likely to freak out the average older man (or younger one unless he’s very high or very stupid.) 

Yes, that kind of “directness” might panic him even if he’s so infatuated with you his cock weeps salty white across his hands and belly at night while fantasizing about you saying exactly that.  Fantasy ≠ reality.

Instead, by direct you might try engaging him in direct conversation, letting him get to know you (and you him, because it’s still going to be a relationship, right?)  And then perhaps ask him the same question you asked me: “do you think an older man would be attracted to a strong, short-haired woman?”

The very good thing about that particular question, by the way, is that you have a graceful “out” if he says “goodness no, I’ve always been into women who are older than me.”

Best of luck whatever you choose to do!  Good question and good food for thought.  Thank you for asking.

“Age is just a number” works both ways.

Like the last anon, I’m also a young girl (turned 18 in August) and I love your page so much???? I’ve never been in a relationship like that but the way you describe how you are lowkey (highkey) makes me want to be yours???? Thanks for making us not feel weird or alone

Thank you so much!  You’re so sweet to say so!  I’m sure you’d find me charming and informative, thoughtful and supportive, as well as goofy, goopy, cuddly, funny, sensuous, sexually inquisitive and creative, as eager to learn from you as to instruct you, enthusiastic, dominant but not entitled, and always, always interested in your feeling satisfied no matter how you choose to define satisfaction.

And


You’d also find me garrulous, quirky, too much in my head and hands, sedentary, prone to overwork, reflective, otiose, and possibly doddering.  You might quickly realize you could replace me with a vibrator and an encyclopedia.

To put that last part more kindly to myself, you might find you outgrow me.

And that’s not necessarily a bad thing either!  I happen to loathe and despise the opportunistic conceit that an older person is better at “breaking in” a younger, inexperienced partner.  But I don’t think there’s something wrong with an adult who’s growing into their sexuality seeking experience with a series of partners who bring different qualities to their relationships.

While age is “just a number,” actuarial tables are a cold, hard truth.  So while I’m no longer someone a younger person could hope to “grow old together” with I might make someone a good Crash-Test Daddy.

That said!

Other than knowing better how to listen as well as talk, there’s very little I do in bed now than I did when I was 18.  There’s surprisingly little I didn’t learn with and from my first two girlfriends while I was still in high-school!

I’ll add that the men who will be great Daddies sometime in the next 20-40 years are
 also in their late teens and early twenties today!  And chances are they’re just as courteous, curious, sensuous, cuddly, and capable now as they will be then.  Annnndddd
 chances are equally good that the young adults who are assholes today are still very likely to be assholes 20-40 years from now too.

“Age is just a number” works both ways.

So while I’m flattered beyond words, and while I really do appreciate and enjoy serious, seriously playful connections with adults, including inexperienced adults with birthdays in August, I’d like to invite those who are interested in older, experienced men like me to also be on the lookout for younger, inexperienced men and help “break” them in too.

But the cool thing to remember about power-exchange kink is you bring half the power or there’s nothing to exchange.  D/S and D/Lg is as much by and for Littles and Subs as it’s for Doms or Daddies.  Of any age!

Thank you again, anon.  Thanks for wishing you could be mine.  Who knows if it could or would or even should be so, but it meant the world to me, you know.

Most folks don’t understand that D/Lg is more about a state of mind than about actual age or what you wear.

Mmmm uce cream, we all cream, puddledumpling.

What’s the youngest age you would date? (Of legal age of course)

If you’re an adult you’re an adult.

When I was a young man, even a boy, I got along extremely well with those who were much older than I was.  Often better than I did those my own age.  I was a sponge for information and experience, about other places, about other times, about memories and events from long before I was born.

I loved being shown how to do things, though perhaps not the things you might have in mind.  How to change a tire.  How to draw water from a well.  How to hammer nails.  How to roll cigarettes.  How to can peaches. I loved being told how to do things – how to hitch rides on old steam engines, what how to protect yourself from tanks during WW1, how to mine for copper ore.  How to find work, or love, or happiness.  How to grow old gracefully.

Some of the things I learned were wrong, and some of those I’m goddamn still unlearning, decades after those who taught me grew old and died.  But most of what I learned I treasure.  Most of the things I did, the conversations we had, I treasure and miss.

Now?  Now I realize some of the “old people” I learned from were only 18 at the time.  They seemed so old to me then.  And others I learned from were 80, which doesn’t seem so old anymore.  And most were somewhere in between – neither young nor old, really.

And so I can say with far more confidence: if you’re an adult you’re an adult.  I love talking to adults of any age, and learning from them, and doing things with them.  So when it comes to dating?  I’d date adults too.

Awesome question.  It was good to spend time thinking about the answer.  So thank you for asking.

>DDLG. …Why are you into father/5 year old daughter incest roleplay?

 You’d have to ask someone who was into that.  

But if I was into that I’d probably say it was because my adult partners and I were into it.

Into it the way adults can be into roleplaying other objectively silly but subjectively arousing themes like pirates, gangsters, movie stars, millionaires, grossly-stereotyped ethnicities, soldiers, nobility and “French maids,” doctors and “naughty” nurses, cable guys or pool boys and bored housewives, bosses and secretaries, virgins and rakes, strangers-in-a-bar, porn stars, “hookers and johns,” prisoners and guards, cops and criminals, vampires or werewolves, imprisoned princesses, unicorns or other furry animals, characters from 50 Shades of Grey, characters from Mad Men, characters from My Little Pony (hey, I’m not gonna judge), or clowns (still not judging), or husband and wife (when they’re not) or having an affair (when they’re monogamous together), and on and on and on.

Or you might ask vanilla people why they’re into roleplaying repressed Victorian-era missionaries.  (Worth mentioning that before the Victorians it was Puritan doctrine that husbands and wives would be unfailingly lusty for each other, so practitioners can’t fall back on missionary sex being “normal” or “religious.”)

Review each item in a list of “naughty” Halloween costumes and ask yourself why that?!?!

The short answer to any of the above is that for many adults relationships are social as well as psychological or physical.  And so adults find ways of bringing social tropes and metaphors into their interpersonal relationships.  They also often seek out other adults who share not only compatible sets of body parts but compatible social metaphors.  If you both happen to have strong social associations with Spongebob and Patrick, then you may enjoy bringing that dynamic into bed together.  And no, as long as you and your partner were adults who were exercising affirmative, competent consent it would be silly to judge that either.

Speaking for myself I’m not into roleplaying being sexual as a father, or being sexual with a minor offspring.  D/Lg kink ≠ incest kink.  Instead it’s just fun and erotic to intentionally employ the social cliches and stereotypes of caregiving as an adult with an adult partner.  

One gives a pacifier to an infant to
 well
 pacify them.  One gives or receives a pacifier to an adult sexual partner to signify an ephemeral, consensual alteration of relative power.  That’s
 pretty different from incest.

Ok, the shortest possible answer is Daddy ≠ dad!

Hope that helps answer your question.

sir-wolf-mr-gentleman-savage:

Tip for folks who don’t understand D/Lg Littles: Of course you’re a capable adult woman who can take care of yourself!  That’s why it’s so hot when you have a partner who’ll whisper things like “here, let me do it, Angel, you’re too small….”

hey! is it a coincidence that you can read ‘obey’ in your tumblr name? ????

You mean like “old enough  t  obey our father?” Ahahah!  Yes, it’s a coincidence but it’s a fun one, isn’t it?  

But for the record, sort of like you have to be “this tall to ride this ride,” you actualy do have to be old enough (at least 18) to obey this father!  

Good eye, @suchnichtinworten! ????

Can older men usually tell when younger girls are into them??

It might sound a little dumb or tautological (which could be a fancier word for dumb) but older men can only tell the younger women who are into them that they can tell are into them.  

So yes, it’s easy to tell when someone’s obviously into you.  But sometimes to my eternal regret I’ve learned others were terribly into me and they were so good at hiding it I had no idea!

But!

There’s another situation that’s super important to keep in mind!

Just like there can be “false negatives” where an older man can’t tell that a younger woman is into them, it’s even more common for there to be “false positives” where a man is 100% certain a younger woman is into him and
 he’s terribly, terribly wrong.

Another kind of awkward situation is when an older man can tell a younger woman is into him but he can’t respond.  Either because he’s not into her or because he’s not in a position to let himself be.  Sometimes because they’re in a relationship with someone else.  Sometimes because they’re in a position of authority that for moral, ethical, practical or (if they’re not ethical, moral, or practical) pure cowardice and self-interest keeps them from acting on.

But oh, when I can tell someone’s into me and I’m into them and there’s nothing to really stop us from becoming closer?  That’s
 very nice isn’t it?

I guess the short answer is: sometimes we can tell, sometimes we’re completely clueless, and sometimes we only think someone’s into us.  So sadly it’s like so many other unspoken crush situations. ????

I don’t have much sympathy for young girls who get involved with older men. They want to post about how older men do everything better, and how they’re so above men their age. Then they’re surprised that a 40 year old who wants to be with a 20 year old is a creep…

submissivefeminist:

Cool for you, mate. ????????

Hmm.  Chances are pretty good that a 40-year-old who’s a creep was also a creep when they were 20.  And if they’re a creep at 40 then they’ll be a creep even if they want to be with another 40-year-old.

If instead someone was pretty decent at age 20 they’re still pretty decent at age 40.  That’s just how these things work.

Few of us – men or women – are either saints nor monsters, at any age.

I’m not going to advocate for or condemn 20-year-old women being with 40-year-olds, or 40-year-old men who want to be with 20-year-olds. But I AM going to advocate for laying off the stereotypes.

Especially when the bigger question might what can we do to counter the stereotypes that leave younger women feeling that “40-year-old creeps” are a better choice.

Nothing wrong with having a kink for older partners. But even though I’m older I’m not comfortable with a perception that we’re otherwise “better” than younger men. Or “worse.” Cause, again, a creep at 40 was probably also a creep at 20.

So how do we cultivate fewer creeps of any age?
