I know it keeps the psychologists in business and the church coffers filled, but not everything we do that feels good is done because we need it to feel good. Good sex with someone you find attractive certainly feels good…but does it always mean the person doing it needs the ego boost? (Or that they have a deficient ego to begin with?)

The OP may bring a number of other things to the table: the ability to successfully juggle a career and her kids; being an interesting conversationalist; she might even be smoking, as nikki04 suggested. Who knows, really, as she was so busy questioning herself that it seems like she (and all of us) are conditioned to think that one can only bring physical looks and a svelte body to their “league.” But when you’re talking about dating someone and having it lead to a relationship, things like a stable financial situation; ability to manage one’s life; ability to communicate openly and truth fully; and having passion and interests in common also become part of the league.

All this could be true, but most likely isn’t. Believing that an older woman’s “ability to juggle a career and kids” makes her attractive to a younger man is very unrealistic, as are your other examples. Wishful thinking at best!
