Never. I’m surprised anyone would think that.
Never ever ever ever Blackknight!!! Shouldn’t be done with that until both feet are in the grave! Coming from a woman, Don’t ever!
never. there is no such thing as looking like a fool for love.
my first thought was never, too.
I’m glad at least 3 other people think so.
Never :) There’s somebody for everybody. It just depends on what age the women he’s perusing are – but still, nothing inherently wrong with an older man looking for love with a younger woman. Just not socially acceptable per se.
People should seize the moment if opportunity hits them…why not we only live once!!
“Fool” is in the eye of the beholder. Those cute 20-something cashiers and waitresses might not think well of those 40+ guys hitting on them (and I assure you, hit they do!), but a nice lady his own age might be just as lonely and happy to meet up. Personally, I think there’s very little that’s more cute than old people holding hands. :)
Question rephrasing ahead: At what age does a man showing an interest in a women begin not making a fool of himself?
Never,you are never too old for love.
I don’t think a man should stop showing interest… instead, he should show interest in women around his age, so he doesn’t seem like a creep.
Never! Women always appreciate a gentleman with a sparkle in his eye.
As a widowed man in his early 40’s, I must admit that since the majority of available women are much younger, I would feel creepy expressing an interest in women in their 20’s…so I just don’t do it, even if I am attracted to them.
I agree with @stemnyjones. You should not date someone that could be your progeny.
I say never too, but don’t be the horny old 60 year old goat after a 19 yr old. Keep that stuff in your head or the steam room.
As my great grandmother says “your only as old as the man you feel”.
Never! I am glad my husband didn’t. There is 17 years between us. He is the older one..=) There is a way to do it and not be a creeper about it and that goes for any age and any gender. If you are looking for “lust” that shows, I think, and can be considered creepy. ( unless of course the other party is looking for “lust” too..LOL) But if you are looking for a life long partner, age has nothing to do with it. It is all about the person inside.
Never, and I beg to differ with some of the answers on here regarding the age thing. I’ve always gone out with older men and I’d much rather be chatted up by someone a lot older than me because those are the chaps I find most attractive. Old blokes, keep it up! (ooer missus…)
Ever been in a nursing home with both men and women share? the elderly men there never stop flirting with the elderly women. nature made us this way, along with some help from Adam and Eve. Never!!!
I’m 103 and I hit on every young girl I see. But it doesn’t matter; it’s strange but somewhere around 50 a guy becomes invisible to young women.
Never. If you don’t show an interest in women, then it will be hard for you to get dates, because most wait for men to approach them.
If you’re afraid to look like a fool for loving her, then you’re not worthy of her anyway.
To paraphrase Mark Twain, “it’s better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt”,
@ratboy: That’s ok, at 30 (or ~150 lbs) a woman becomes invisible, too.

@laureth Beg to disagree on the age part. Like fine wine, the best are at least 30 years old.
Please never stop showing an interest in us women :)
Just refine your technique as you age so that the way you show it at 50 isn’t the way you showed it at 15. That is the part most women find objectionable.
Are you kidding me? Never! As a matter of fact I can’t wait to get to be a “Dirty old man”. I’ve seen some of the stuff they get away with that a younger guy would be called a “Pig” for but an older guy, he’s just a cute little “dirty old man”. LOL!
Men should not lose interest in women as when they were young we had wonderful time and when men gets old then he needs her for support at old age.
Listen, you are always looking, the interest never ceases.
I have a daughter and even if I were single (I am good and married) I could not take an interest in any woman younger than my eldest child. Just doesn’t feel right. I am 35 years older than my daughter and that should give you an idea of where I would draw the line.
But in most cases, you are going to be more comfortable with someone approaching or even past your own age.
The other comment I would make is that if you were comfortable approaching women when you were in your twenties or thirties you will retain that skill even if you are in your sixties. The reverse is true also, in my opinion. If you were uncomfortable approaching women when you were younger, you are not going to be better at it later in life.
SRM
Never. As long as he is single, any lady out there is fair game!=)
Carpe diem Knight or failing that seize the female.(Assuming consent of course)
