what's it called when...

you like someone too old for you? Where is the clever term for the opposite of "robbing the cradle?"

Today I realized that I found a kid's dad attractive. When he said my name, I think I swooned just a little. Is that wrong? I'm obviously not trying to get in his pants since he's married and all, just admiring. He's not sexy really, just has this presence. *shrug* Do men get better with age?

Good men age like fine wine. They spend their teen years like they are little children looking for someone to make them better. "I have this problem...will anyone help me?" Of course the problem is Priapism and selfishness.

When they finally (if ever) calm down they become accessible mentally to partners, which we find attractive in a sexual way.

Once we emerge from the feverishly hormonal years that are late adolescence, we begin a sad transformation into a non-sexual being. Like it or not, as women we are devaluing in sex appeal as we age. And even though men become more desirable with age, they don't see it in their aging partner. They long for feverishly hormonal young women, 18,19,20...

Maybe there are scientific reasons for all this, but it's all so unpleasant. "I loved you where you were young and horny and so cute. Now you're old and you don't want to go out!" What a fun relationship

Then there's my 61 year old mom and 81 year old father, they would be a field day for some couples therapists.
