his advanced years, if anything it is just the opposite; providers often have bad experiences with younger men who don't have the maturity level they want.

I think there is the natural selection factor with younger clients who desire young nubile things because their inner nature is telling them to see a PYT as that will benefit the species in terms of populating the earth.

I can attest to having that bias when I was younger.  Now, being very late 50s, I focus a bit more on the relationship aspect of this hobby and to that end, I see and enjoy many mature women.  Of course there is still the side of me that craves youth, so it's not a all or nothing prospect, but it is a factor.

It tends to be a recurring theme there, perpetrated perhaps by just a few people using aliases, but repeatedly given tacit approval by those in a position to set the tone for that board.

I enjoyed the company of a 27-year old provider earlier this year and had a great time.  I actually saw her twice and was able to relate to her well.  I'm currently 61, but it didn't seem to be a problem for either of us, though she may have been a bit more mature than some women her age.

But I did know a hobbyist on this board, now sadly departed, that was taking 5 years off his age when he was 65 and contacting new ladies.  He was very sensitive about the issue and never admitted to being more than 60 for fear of a younger provider not wanting to see him.  Whether real or imagined, it was a major concern of his.

As for the ladies, I think there's room for every age group.  Sometimes a guy may seek a 20-something, maybe because it triggers all the memories of when you were young and in your sexual prime.  But other times, you want someone closer to your age with whom you can better relate- someone that gets your jokes and feels comfortable to be around.

I agree with you that the main criteria should be on you as an individual, and not a number.  If a woman looks good and is enjoying her work, then age shouldn't be an issue.  I've had a lot of fun with women over 40, especially in my dating life outside the hobby.

The only thing really that matters is if your phone is still ringing.  If guys are enjoying your company and want to spend time with you, then age shouldn't be an issue.  

The youngins ought to be in school.  My preference is 30 + to ensure that we can at least communicate be for we might forn.........

being a mature  provider that started  at 47  a decade ago  and have had a wonderful  run  and still am able to maintain  a good living  with wonderful clients  but have noticed  lately  age does  seem to play into the factor of getting appointments men seem to be concerned that we are not as sexual as the younger ladies  but I find  we are more sensual and more compassionate to the need of  our clients  and this is why provider tend to fudge on their age ....I want to be proud of my age and how well i have mantained myself ..... and tend to get  the younger guys {40 or younger{ when I really want a more seasoned gentleman that is on the same page of life as I am ...so when I found this board I was very happy  and hope  to meet some of you  so if your ever out west in AZ or see me on tour  please know I am always happy to see you  my role model in Annaka and have followed this amazing lady career for yrs   remember  age is just a # its the person inside that matters most......do men find find ageism in the reverse too? And do men tend to fudge on their age when booking a date out of fear of  being rejected?

I once had a client told me he was 52 showed up and could see  he was much older  we talk2d about it  and he said he was afraid  to reveal  true age I told him better  to be  a hot 70 than a old 50 .......told  him 70 can be sexy too !

I'm 68, in good shape but I certainly have experienced providers who prefer men under 60. I also know many who prefer men over 40. I always try to let women I contact know that I'm in my 60s, I'd rather be rejected than have an uncomfortable experience. I don't begrudge their choice for younger men. I do think I'm a better lover now than I was in my 20s although the physical stamina has declined. I tend to look for providers over 40 both because I know many younger providers are not comfortable with older guys and because I'm not as comfortable with younger women, the rapport is much harder to establish. I do wish I was traveling to Arizona, you sound wonderful, sexy and fun, I'd love to play with you.

2010 has been a very interesting year for me in the hobby. Until this year when I turned 60 I had never partaken in the hobby. After nearly 15 encounters over the year, I can say they my preconceived notions about my age and provider's ages were limiting me. I think I have seen providers who have been as young as the late 20's and maybe as old as the late 50's. For me, there was no correlation between good experience and age. So as others have said before, age shouldn't matter. The enjoyment of the encounter is dependent on many factors other than age.
At the beginning of the year, age played a factor in my decision to see a provider. Now I make my decision more on what I see in a provider's pictures and what I learn from her TER reviews.
As far as my age is concerned, I am up front about it. If the lady doesn't want to see me because of my age, fine. Better learn that in the initial greeting than when you walk through the door with your "engine revving" (if a 60 yr old can use that metaphor).
From what I have learned about you AZVic, I hope our paths cross in the future. You are sexy, charming and playful - a wonderful combination.

I was looking for a place to come and read and  post and found this place  and thought  why not?  The vibe here is warm and welcoming thank you  all.....as we get older our needs change and so do our desires  something you cannot explain to someone  on a  different page of life I was a top 10 poster in AZ until I just woke  up one day and decided I was shopping in  the wrong department  I still enjoy the small talk and joking  but was hoping to find something a little more  meaningful.....I also went to  TER BOOKS board as I am an avid reader and movie goer and am hoping they might ad movies to the forum ....you see? my needs really  have changed the simple  pleasures these day bring me much joy including my little dog Nicky who is the "man"  in  my life right now...well time to walk the dog  so take care everyone and see you on the boards!

Although I'm not from Phoenix, I read that board a lot, to a big extent because of your wonderful posts. I noticed your absence there the last few days and am glad to find you here! You're right - this is a mellow place. I WILL get to Phoenix soon - every time I read something of yours I get more determined to meet you!

I promise not to start without you !

I've turned away so many younger men because I want the maturity of older gentlemen. Anyone less than 45 yrs old seems to lack the maturity and wisdom that is such a turn on for me. The younger men crave us because they feel we have so much more to offer...go figure...lol...

We too desire the relationship aspect of our older gentlemen friends.

Although my sample is limited, I have had the opportunity to meet two ladies who were in their fifties.  They did not know each other and lived in different parts of the country.  I swear that they were nymphos.  I started in nice and easy and soon found my self bouncing off the walls.  Not only that but each one could go on for hours and left me begging for mercy.  I have never had a 20 something spinner treat me like they did.  This was 20 years ago when I was in good health.  As we talked, each one said that she had enjoyed sex all her life but after her "change" she could not get enough.

In my initial correspondence with any potential playmate I will always state that I am in my early 60s and describe my appearance. I don't want any unpleasant surprises on either side of the door when I arrive for a play date.

The first time: a young lady in Boston declined to see me because of my age. She feared that I might have a heart attack during the session. I certainly understood her concerns as she had had a bad experience once.

The second time: a young lady declined to see me as she didn't feel comfortable meeting men of her father's age. I understood her concerns and let her know that I was fine with her decision.

Other than that I have been lucky enough to enjoy the company of some wonderful ladies and hope to continue to do so as long as I can.

BTW....Victoria, please visit Boston some time. If I have missed you in the past, shame on me!

or....I have a lovely home here  10 minutes from airport and our weather is hard to beat!

So tempting!

A couple of years ago, I had a fun date with a gal out of NC.  She was barely 5 foot tall.  Later she commented about her Mom, who she said was only 4' 11".  I had once been madly in love with a 4'10" gal so must have had some residual desire still floating around.  She said her Mama sometimes toured with her.

A few weeks later, they both showed up and MaMa was really cute, considering we were the same age.  [I am not old, but I was born in the first half of the prior century]

Eventually the daughter made a comment about their needing to get home for an event for a Grand-Child.  that was when I realized and so commented - So I am in bed with both a GrandMa and a Great-GrandMa?

Yep!

The best part is I had one of the days when my boner would not go down.  I was doin' the mama over time while the daughter was getting ready for their next date.  Mama was very happy and so was I.

I have thus reconsidered any thoughts that some gals over 60 won't be able to turn me on.  She sure did.
