Would you date someone 15 years older than you?

I got asked out to drinks by the manager of my condo association. She is 49 years old and almost fifteen years older than me.

Ben Franklin commenting on the virtues of older women:
"All cats are gray in the dark"......he was a wise man.

Thanks Biandfine!...google the quote, it's actually a cool story...they found the quote in some old letters of his...he was quite the "lady's man" ….@luctoretemergo

@luctoretemergo If you are referring to Ben Franklin in your reply, I understand he did a lot of travelling - with a wife at home and a "girlfriend" in almost every port.

I had no idea...I know in John Adams (the HBO series) they portrayed him as quite the "ladies man"....I'll have to read up on that!

@luctoretemergo No offense taken..yes, I am a woman. But as to Mr. Franklin, remember reading my facts offered somewhere. Can't recall JUST where, but he was quite discreet about his admiration of other females while being happily married (at the time) in Pbiladelphia.
