"My husband (yay!) Alex is quite a bit older than I am, and now that we&amp;#x27;ve been together for almost three years, I&amp;#x27;ve realized that there are a few differences when you&amp;#x27;re dating an older man...Here are five funny things I&amp;#x27;ve discovered about dating an older guy. (I know these things aren&amp;#x27;t true for every older man, but they&amp;#x27;re definitely true for mine!) 1. Old-school nicknames. Every since we started dating, Alex has called me, &amp;quot;Foxy mama.&amp;quot; He swears he&amp;#x27;s half-joking, but the nickname&amp;#x27;s grandfather vibe still makes me laugh. 2. Ancient TV show trivia. Alex knows everything--everything--about Hogan&amp;#x27;s Heroes, and he&amp;#x27;s pretty clued in about The Brady Bunch and Gilligan&amp;#x27;s Island, too. 3. Mellow Friday nights. After a busy week, I&amp;#x27;m often in the mood for a DVD and pizza at home. And Alex never minds staying in and relaxing, since he&amp;#x27;s not as party-crazy as he was in his twenties (although he can obviously still rally with the best of them). 4. Walking encyclopedia. Alex has read books and racked up tidbits through the years--so much so, that he pretty much always knows the answers to all my questions, from job advice to vocab words to Roman history (he was like a tour guide on our honeymoon!). Sometimes I feel like a baby -- &amp;quot;What&amp;#x27;s that?&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Why?&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Why not?&amp;quot; -- but I have to admit, I like having his knowledge and experience at my fingertips. 5. Sexy gray hair. Well, Alex has like two gray hairs, but I can&amp;amp;#8217;t wait for the silver fox look to kick in!!! What about you, my dears? Do you generally date older or younger guys? What funny quirks have you noticed in them? I&amp;#x27;d love to hear! P.S. Would you rather date a much younger or much older guy? And a handy trick to figuring out if a guy is too old for you.
