It's not the numbers on the drivers license that is the deterrent. I think it's the assumption, usually taken from experience, that has shown others that there is some magic age where we loose the attributes of youth. Of course this doesn't always apply. My worry over a Master with a few years on him and above me is that his activity level wont match mine. Yet I would never state an age cap since I know not all fit a stereotype, although the concern is right there each and every time I'm contacted by one a bit longer in the tooth then I. Another thing could possibly be that us older individuals no longer present that ideal visual some find a necessity. This isnt limited to Doms or Masters and in many ways you all at least have tradition behind you where History states its normal for an older man to have a younger woman. Hell if you want to give up at 50 being male, what do you suggest we females do at that Golden Age? quote:
ORIGINAL: Fightdirecto If I see a profile with a specific age range desired for a Dom, and I don't fit, I generally don't contact her. I also tend to search for submissive women over the age of 40, which admittedly narrows the field. However, I am getting more and more responses from subs from age 45 to 60 that, at age 54, I am "too old" for them. To be told by a sub whose profile says she is the same age as you or older that "I don't want to have anything to do with a Dom over 50" is, to say the least, hard on the ego, especially when it seems that is the sole reason for rejection. Is this just something limited to the submissive women of eastern New England? Or should all Doms who are over 50 just stop looking?
