I love a woman who is 26 years old; I am 61 years old.
I would give all I have to quench this fire that burns within my ***--- to douse the flame, even if I must sink into a sea of loneliness; to rip out whatever part of me that first kindled this hopeless and foolish conflagration; to end the gasps of pain with each grieving breath I take; to smother this unwelcome blaze that no torrent can reach.
My love of her grasped me like a mugger who took everything I had, leaving me naked and unsheltered in this wasteland of despair. This scorching love has left dust in my mouth, as my love for her must remain unspoken. This desire happened to me undesired, like a bolt of lightning setting my house on fire. The searing agony of being too old sends waves of pain down my arms and to my finger tips. I am the victim of Cupid, as most old fools are.
I long for the furnace of her kisses--- willing to be branded, claimed and marked. I ache to float upon the wind of her perfect voice, and never again feel the ground under my feet.
Oh, to be young! I would be in Stockholm now, begging her to share with me the light in her eyes, and to see requited love burn within her. For such a priceless gift I would risk everything and anything, even if she were to tell me "No."
You can never control your heart, or who it chooses to fall in love with, even if it's against your wishes. Your rational mind could know better, but yet your heart will choose whoever it wants to, against your will.

I have found your observation to be true. :-( Just about the only emotion I feel is love.
I think that humans are generally wired to be physically attracted to people in their prime, and even as they mature, I don't think that attraction to people in their prime changes that much.
The only thing I've noticed as I've gotten older, is how everyone continues to look young to me. I used to think teenagers, 20 and 30 year olds look old, but now that I'm older, they all look so young. It boggles my mind.
Rarely encounter above average intelligent women. Hmmmm, that's a bit hateful. This content/thread is ridiculous and seems very attention focused.
Er, thank you. :-) I am only attracted to women who are exceptionally intelligent. As for being bold, I have been a coward all of my life.
Then you admire more attributes about her than just her age or the way she looks, that you prize her for her wisdom that is beyond her years. I don't think of you as much of a dog, but maybe a lone wolf, which sounds a lot more bold.
Thank you. There is a "type" of woman that I adore, and it includes wisdom as well as above-average intelligence. I rarely encounter anyone, let alone women like that, but when I do I love being around her. Some times the isolation and loneliness overwhelms me, and I want to attach myself to such a woman, like a dog I suppose. :-(
