So for those of you who hit it, how do you cope with turning 40 years old?

There's a difference between a relationship and just having sex. And being creepy doesn't necessarily mean doing something that's against the law.

A 50 year old man hitting on a 20 year old university girl is creepy? Sure. But is he breaking any law by doing so? No. They're both adults and both can consent to sex. So no, there's nothing wrong with a middle aged man finding young women attractive. Or a middle aged woman finding young men attractive either.

I'm sure I'll still find women in their 20s attractive when I'm in my 40s. And I won't feel bad about it. That doesn't mean I'll be hitting on them or expecting them to date me. I have enough common sense to know that.

When you're young, you may go "Ugh, that's creepy, older people f*cking people 20 or 30 years younger than them." Then you hit middle-age and realize you just don't wanna f*ck gross people, period. You'd rather be "a creep" who's having a good time. Nothing wrong with that, so long as all parties are on the same page, expectation-wise.

There's a saying that I like to use from time-to-time and it goes like this "They [those attractive people] might look good as you get older, but you won't look good as you get older." Usually, it doesn't win a lot of applause, but it's a funny way to view that particular habit that society tends to offer.

But as you said, to each their own.

True, but people in their 30's or so that look pretty well together and have their **** together though, younger folks seem to look at them.

It's common for girls in their 20's to seek older guys that already have a house, nice car and career over their college-mates that are still starting out in McDonald's and drive their dad's clunker.

Similar to some younger guys going after slightly older women due to all the wild and crazy sexual experience they'd have.

I'unno man. If the reaction to my FB 10-Year Challenge photos are any indicator, I personally may not be gross by the time I'm 50. Seems as though I'm holding on okay so far, although a lot can happen in another 10 years.

I've seen people who seem to age 30 years, when they go from 40 to 50 years old. Drugs man.

Yeah, when people age like fruit that is generally the reason, 9 out of 10 times.
