You will find that [pulling rough number out of a hat...hmm] 8 times out of 10, substance will trump chronology if you have what the other person seeks.
True to a point, imo. I think that most people have a point beyond which they won't go. Using myself as an example (And, no, I am not going to use the one that you're thinking of because, Universe forgive me, I find that more acceptable based on aesthetics and mutuality of interests), I have a friend who is 60, maybe 61. He's stated an interest in no uncertain terms, I've let him know I regard him as a friend and we shan't tread into the realm of sexual relationships/partnership/whatever. He's a dear person and I think highly of him but he looks his age (And, there's a lot of considerations that go along with that but, that's a big part of it) and I'm simply not attracted to him in 'that' way despite that we have fun when we get together, have frank conversations, etc.
Now, because I've been pondering acceptability in various forms of relating a bit more of late than usual, I will say that were I being actively poly-, solidly re-partnered, etc. and doing the idealized Heinleinean thing and being open to being with anyone I hold in high regard, it might be different, but as a primary partner, < shaking head >.
