Reader Question About Dating Younger Women

The dating younger men posts have a significant number of readers chiming in on their thoughts, so it was only a matter of time before a male reader asked about dating younger women in response. This comment was originally posted in the dating younger men blog thread, but I've moved it here because, to me, its a whole different conversation and deserves its own response.

Bryan asks: _"Since this thread seems to be only women responses I would like to ask all of you for your opinions positive or negative. I am a 53 year old recently divorced man getting back in the dating game. My problem is I can easily pass for being in my late 30's. I am fit, toned and dress younger than most men in their 50's. Honestly, I don't feel much different than I did when I was 30, and younger women are attracted to me. Should I start dating younger women? What happens when they find my true age? I find myself resenting having a number placed on my back by society. I really don't know how to get older, and am confused by all this. I am attracted to younger women because I still have the vigor and attitude of a younger man. Am I an old fool? Thanks in advance."_

I've got a personal take on this question, which I've answered in [Dating Younger Women](http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://dating.about.com/od/justfortheguys/qt/datingyoungerwomen.htm). But what you do think readers? Is it possible for this man to start dating younger women? Why or why not?
