We are both 65, started the lifestyle a year ago, do younger couples actually want to play with us
feels strange to be writing this at our age but here we go. me 65, dh 65, we've been married 41 yrs, raised two kids who are both settled, retired about 3 yrs ago and after a slow lockdown era we started having the conversation about opening up. about 13 months ago we joined a couple of sites and went to our first house party in october 2025. since then weve been to maybe 8 events and had drinks with about 14 couples. of those drinks weve played with 4 couples, all of them in the 55-70 range. what im wondering and feel a bit silly about is — is the 55-70 range it for us. like is that genuinely our pool now or are we self-selecting. weve had some really lovely msgs from younger couples (40s, even one in their 30s) but every time we go to reply i kind of psych myself out, draft something, delete it, decide they were probably being polite, dont send. dh thinks i need to just send the bloody message and find out. hes right but the fear of being a "creepy old couple" in someones inbox is loud. I want to be honest about whats under it. i think theres a part of me that worries we have nothing to offer a couple in their 30s. like what would they get from us. we're late starters, we're still learning, our bodies are doing 65yr old bodies things. on paper i wouldnt know why theyd pick us. but the messages keep coming so SOMETHING is landing. if youre under 50 and have happily played with a couple 15+ yrs older than you, what was the draw. how did the convo go. did it feel like a stretch or did it feel obvious. i need data lol bc my brain is making me hide from kind ppl in my inbox.
