"If she's good enough for you"What do you mean by "whether her standards measure up to you"?
If she's attracted to you enough and sees you as higher value, she will try to qualify herself. Even if I hadn't pressed on the age thing, she would talk about how she is mature enough, or she will mention that she, her friends or family have been in age gap relationships. And this goes on even for her height, or anything else.
This kind of qualification is something I've never experienced in my late 20s but now I am starting to experience this at 34. I was always a bit insecure about age gaps in my late 20s IF it was with women younger than 8 years. Slowly I've been noticing a wider increase in the age range of attraction towards me.
After repeated exposure, I am very comfortable with my age, bc I really do believe early to mid 30s is within the prime age for man, I've seen too much of it and experienced some of it to believe otherwise. It's hard to f*ck it if you're somewhat fit and have some social.
But like women, I too believe men naturally have a soft wall. I'm trying to get ahead of this and prepare to ride it out for the longest I can. That's why I'm trying to ask what is the experience with men who are 38, 39, and most importantly, 40!!! 40 and then above...
