I’m attracted to old men and people say it’s weird but I just feel like they truly love their woman and respect them because my dad is 30yrs older than my mom and i always wish for their relationship. So few months ago, I met a 47yrs old man online, we’ve been talking for months and everything was going well until he started asking for my personal info. I actually showed him my id and cover some part because of safety and yet he keeps asking me to send it without covering anything on it. I blocked him the second day because I don’t feel safe again. Is that the right thing to do or I’m not being patient enough

Thanks for the replies in advance

      Hi, I’m late to the party, but wanted to chip in -

      When I was young I was attracted to older women, because of one amazing mentor I had had (for reference, I’m AFAB). When I was out on my own, I met someone who I thought was perfect for me.

      She was 17 years older than me, and early-on I was very happy. But she had seen me coming, and over 10 years used me financially, physically, and psychologically.

      I just say this to be clear - you know what you want, but you need to be careful. With more life experience, abusive people can easily appear to be what you’re after, while patiently working towards other goals which go against your wellbeing. Usually over the course of years.

      I hope you find someone who is right for you, and good for you <3
