> 20 year-old models aren't all they are cracked up to be.
I'm 65, and I wouldn't expect much from a relationship with anyone under 30. I mean, I can get on with such people; but most of my own foundational experiences occured during the 70s and 80s, so I wouldn't be able to share them. Tastes in music, political and social outlook, these things matter more than raw physical attraction after the first couple of months.
Also, it seems to me that the way people interact has changed; young people talk differently from my generation. I think there's more pressure to be "sociable" in particular ways. About 90% of young women, for example, are constantly texting, and I have to dodge them when I walk down the street, because they have lost all situational awareness.
And arm-candy would be no use to me at all, because I'm the opposite of arm-candy - overweight and balding. I'd be ashamed to be seen out-and-about with a tasty girl young enough to be my daughter.
