The Dating Game
OK just looking for some quick opinions here. I just got an e-mail from a fellow who is in his mid-forties (so out of my ideal age range), says he is 5’8” (which could mean he is shorter) and a doctor (but no longer practicing and is now a consultant). The problem would be that he said in his e-mail it was nice to see someone who was so “hot” not take themselves so seriously.
Um, WTF, hot? How old is this guy? Or rather, how old does he think I am?
Do I write to him? Because I’m thinking eeyew, no. But then again, hello, handsome doctor.

As far as I can see, here are the pros:
1) It's always nice to be juggling multiple dates, in that it reminds you that you have options.
2) Older men are always so grateful to go out with hot younger women (and they'll actually pay for dinner).
3) Mid-40s isn't creepy old.
Cons:
1) You might have to spend a few hours with a fake smile plastered to your face and then break it off (though the age difference gives you a very easy out).

Good points, Amy!
Personally, I recommend that you consider expanding your age range. There are plenty of good catches out there over 40, and I've found older (than me) men to be more on my level. Girls mature faster than boys.
It takes a special man to truly appreciate and relate to a woman. Seriously.
I consider hot a highly complimentary term that spans generations. I wouldn't be stopped by that. You are hot; he's trying to get a date with you. Normal.
If I were you, I would give him a try. What if he's a short and forty-something, but he's handsome, respectful, a good communicator and a dream in the sack? Not a bad trade off at all!
However. If you meet him and get an eeeeeewwwww vibe, get outa there.

All of the above. Besides which, I'd bet good money that he won't smell bad.

All of the above, with the following caveat:
"No longer a doctor, now a consultant" may mean he can no longer legally practice. Get as much info on his background as you can on that first date.

I don't like the word "hot"....BUT...he may not know better and you can always tell him that next time you would like to be described as gorgeous.

Yeah, the word "hot" could be a bit off-putting, but after stinkpits he sounds like a huge improvement! I'd say go for it!
