ORIGINAL: MzMia What is too young to be a submissive? I wonder about men in their 40's/50's/60's taking up with these tender young women in their early 20's. They are so young and impressionable, especially if they are only 18. Would you want your daughter 19, moving in and becoming a slave to a man of 50? Let's hear it. Like others, I consider under legal age to be too young. For me that means under the age of 18. My personal preference is that they generally be somewhere between mid twenties to mid thirties. But there are exceptions. There's a 20 year old on this site I'm rather fond of, chiefly for her mind and character... course the fact she's rather pretty doesn't hurt either. I've met a few women my own age that I was attracted to as well, and one or two that were older. But in general, 25ish to 35ish seems to be the trend for me personally... but that only applies to me. Everyone is different and finds different connections. Not all those young women are tender. I've seen a lot in my time and I've seen some young women who were as hard bitten, jaded and tough as they come... they'd had hard lives. I've seen women in their 30's and 40's (and older) who were very naive... I believe its more important to look at the individual than the age. Like some others, I'd want my daughter (if I had one, and if things work out perhaps I may yet) to find someone who would be good to her, love her, protect her, build her up and help her to continue to grow and flourish as a person. I'd want him to be a good person, and I'd judge him chiefly by that standard. His age would only matter if it would be an issue in extreme cases...like 80 and 18... "hun, you know he could die in a few years, are you prepared to deal with that?" As others have pointed out, sometimes they're using each other. Sometimes its the older guy getting used. Being young does not equate innocent, there are some 18 yr old vipers out there, just as there are some 50 yr old lounge lizards. There are also people just looking for a connection. Historically, relationships between older men and younger women have been very common. Its only been in the last 100 years in western civilization that marriages / relationships between men & women of similar age became commonplace. As others have pointed out, older can mean economic stability and advantages, emotional maturity and stability, experience, etc. It might be a curious question to ponder as to whether or not the more recent (historically speaking) trend of similar ages in relationships isn't an unhealthy abberation.
