If a 60 year old divorced woman has a 40 year old divorced daughter, can they both date the same 50 year old man? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> wiftty
Learning from your own mistakes creates experience, learning from books creates knowledge, combining the two together creates wisdom => You start with a full bag of luck, and an empty bag of experience. The trick is to fill the bag of experience before you empty the bag of luck.

Of course! As to the separate question of whether or not it's wise... Let's just say that I don't want to be anywhere nearby. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> Seriously, I think a lot would depend on the particulars.

You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you stop to look fear in the face. Challenges can be stepping stones or stumbling blocks. It’s just a matter of how you look at them. The purpose of life is to live it, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience

[color:"blue"] Wiffty,
You wouldn't catch me dating a guy that my daughter was interested in - would never want to compete in that way.
Also, I haven't seen much evidence of 50yo guys WANTING to date a 60yo woman. I am 40, and most of the guys that want to date me are 48-55 or even 60. I think that is too old for me personally. The guys my age (mostly - I'm sure there are exceptions) on the internet dating site I use mostly go for women up to 35.
I did a search and found the site seems to be enriched with guys 39-45 (roughly 60%) that have no children. My conclusion was that the ones looking for younger women may be guys wanting to (finally) start a family?
Cracks me up when I do meet a guy face to face because his first response is surprised pleasure - I feel like I should pick his jaw up from the road or something. Either my pictures don't do me justice (which I've been told), or they got hit with online pic fraud before. (That's the one where the pic is 10 years out of date and 30 lbs lighter...)
Aren't I the cynical one?
