Happily married but from what I’ve encountered in the wild, I wouldn’t/couldn’t do anything under 28 or so. It’s a completely different worldview.

Not that worldview matters that much when having sex

Yeah, but that only lasts 90 seconds. What do you do for the rest of the day?

Plot the downfall of the bourgeoisie

Send her home? It's not like you are forced to spend a whole day with a hookup?

Whatever you want, I suppose. Are we assuming they want to date them instead of just banging or what do you mean?

It's a simple joke, nothing more.

I don't think it really works here because the assumption was that you wouldn't be doing anything. Pump and dump

As I've gotten older, it's not even just the worldview anymore, the body can look attractive but one look at the face and if the woman is young enough it's an immediate turn-off.

but one look at the face...

The old paper bag trick does wonders.

Different phases of life, different priorities, and different perspectives. Someone in their 20's is still trying to figure out what they want to do with their life. I've abandoned the search and am now stuck somewhere between raising my kids and trying to buy myself some free time before I die.

I also think you have to be friends with your spouse to have a successful marriage. Lucky for me, my wife is my best friend. It's pretty difficult to build any sort of meaningful relationship with someone you have very little in common with.

My wife and I tried a poly phase (neither of us ended up liking anyone else lol) and while on dating apps I found 27 to be the minimum and upper 40's to be the max. I realized that there was no real way to connect and relate to someone in a totally different phase of life.
