How old is too old to be a daddy

[Baby..Princess]

Nobody is too old to be a Daddy.

[newbunny]

I've been a daddy for over twenty years and still love the lifestyle

 

I haven't had a little one for over a year

 

I'm 51 years old but have lots of experience and life love left in me

 

Just wanted to know if I'm too old

It's a nice age.i think I would prefer a grown up man with experience than a young 25yo no matter my own age.

What about too old to START being a daddy? I'm 42 and have never even been a daddy in real life, let alone this alternate(?) one. :-/

I would think that you've had a lot of time to think thru why you want to be a daddy. I would consider you as a more stabile choice because of your age when deciding your new lifestyle.

41 here, and in my opinion, you can be too young to be a daddy, but never too old.  A young man doesn't have the life experience to mature into a man, and into a position of being able to have responsibility not just for himself, but for another human being.  Part of the Daddys job is to care for that little as if she was his own, to nurture and help the little grow and blossom into a little woman.  A younger man isn't interested in this level of care, and has only the experience of his mother to depend on... not a good thing unless both of you are just roleplaying, or only into cosplay.

 

The same applies to the littles too!  A little can definitely be too young, but never too old.  An immature young lady doesn't have the experience to know what maturity is, and therefore is usually under the illusion that just because she still likes childish things, it means she's a "little".  It could be that she just hasn't grown out of childhood yet, or she will always be "young at heart".  It takes much more to fit into the BDSM view on being a little, than to be childish.

 

It took me almost 30 years to "grow up" to where I'm a confident man and Daddy, but I'm still childish and playful in many ways.  It doesn't mean I'm little in any way shape or form.  I'm definitely all DD.

Not too old....I'm 36 and my Daddy is 47.

 

Older Daddies have their benefits and it seems to be what I'm most drawn to anyway.

[TeddybearCandyfloss]

You're never to old to be a daddy!!!! A lot of littles like older doms anyways due to their level of experience. Never give up on love

I totally agree on the ageism observation. I do think that those who are responsible for those ageist views are generally less experienced in ddlg or the bdsm community in general, because if they were [more experienced] they simply wouldn't think in that way. Like subspace, littlespace is not contingent on biological age, and for that matter men of any age can find true enjoyment, both sexual and non sexual, in caring for someone who needs to let go of their adult burdens in a safe loving environment. I'm 48 but still feel like i'm about 28, and have the pleasure of caring for a very special girl in her twenties. We click together in so many ways, and it works because we are each genuinely interested in learning from each other. And that never gets old.

im not to sure, but if you have children already and they have children, I think its best to switch to the role of a real dad or grandfather

um???? i don't see why someone wouldn't be able to be one or even both of those,

and still be a cg/dd. there are so many littles and daddies on this website who are

parents, there is no being 'too old' to be someone's cg/dd. that last line you said sort

of sounded like you were telling them to stop being a pretend father/grandfather and

go be someone's real grandfather. if that's the case i'd like to point out that someone's

daddy/cg doesn't have to do with being family or even fake family.

I disagree with this. When my Daddy and I got together he had a son, who over the course of 4.5yrs has become my son. I have adopted him and love him as my own. During that same 4.5yrs we got married, bought our home, and had our daughter. My Daddy and I were traditional D/s for awhile but nothing fit right. We discovered DDlg and it's perfect for us. We are perfectly capable of separating our relationship, our kink, and our duty to our children. I feel most people are capable of this as well.

 

It's all about preference. If you don't want to be with someone with children and participate in the DDlg lifestyle (which is what it is for me), then so be it. But someone doing so does not make them wrong. I love my children very much and they haven't the slightest clue about this side of us, and it will stay that way. But I also won't sacrifice my dynamic because some see it as wrong when there is no harm being done.

I'm a daddy of 62 and my little is 38. She has a very stressful job in the vanilla world and loves nothing better than shedding her responsibilities and returning to her true happiness. She sees me as mature and worldlywise just as a daddy should be for her.

[Guest Kali]

I aslo have to disagree with 2Spooky4U. I have grandkids and there is absolutely no confusion between a kink and my relationship with the kids. Just because you cannot commit your every waking moment giving your full attention to your little does not mean you should no longer enjoy the ddlg dynamic with your special little girl. I think if and when you have kids or grandkids you will realise I am speaking from the heart.

I couldn't disagree with 2 Spooky more.

 

My first real excursion into dating younger ladies I was 45 and she was 25.  We are still very close friends.  I went to her wedding last summer.  We talk almost daily and are still very close friends.

 

I have daughters.  Great people who I admire.  Very intelligent, successful and confident.

 

Probably 10 years ago was the first time a lady called me "Daddy" in the heat of the moment and it freaked me right out.

 

Ive don't have any confusion about being a father, and being a Daddy.  Two totally different things.

 

Since then I have learned what being a Daddy really means.  Kind, protective, nurturing.  But I have come to understand the mind of a little/sub and understand they need what they need.  And if you aren't giving it to them they will wander off.  And it is your "job" to know what they need before they have to ask for it.

 

I've dated subs in their 20's, 30's and 40's.

 

My last little was 19, I'm 52.  Our DD/lg relationship was pretty instant.  And wonderful.  And caring and nurturing.  And kinky with a lot of freedom for her to explore things she never had with a guy her age because she didn't trust them. 

 

About the time I joined this forum she started dating a guy closer to her age.  She lives with him now.  We talk pretty much daily.  Had lunch this week.  She is doing really well.  I am happy I was part of her journey.

 

She misses having a "Daddy" but loves her BF and is adjusting.  She has tried being a little with him and he just doesn't have her trust and feeling of safety.  I'll always be her Daddy as far as advice, and being her confidante, but she has moved on and I am happy for her.

 

I have found quite a few ladies say under 25 are tired of dating guys their age and really appreciate an older Daddy.  Knowing it's not permanent.  Its a step in their life.

Age doesn't matter. Maturity, commitments and chemistry matters. I think littles do prefer older men because they are more mature in handling matters and being able to trust that older daddy is able to take care of them when they slip into little space. Older daddy tend to take this lifestyle more seriously knowing that the it take alot for a little to trust him and the chances of him "ghosting" on her is lesser as older daddy will be honest when the relationship is not working out. (not that it won't happen but the chances of it happening is lower).

 

So all the older daddies out there. It is never too old to be a daddy for any littles.. As long as the chemistry is there, that's what is important.

[-LittleDisneyPrincess]

NEVER TOO OLD.

[MrWrongUk]

You are only as old as you feel. (Never to old)

[MonsieurSerge]

I have to admit, I am in the 50's and I was a bit concerned too.  I'm looking for something in the real world, not online so I'm not going to lie about age or whatever.  I also don't expect to pair up with a 20 year old. (30's maybe? lol).  I do feel I have a lot of life experience and insight, and I could bring that into the relationship.  

[MonsieurSerge]

To quote Daddycue109 - "Since then I have learned what being a Daddy really means.  Kind, protective, nurturing.  But I have come to understand the mind of a little/sub and understand they need what they need.  And if you aren't giving it to them they will wander off.  And it is your "job" to know what they need before they have to ask for it." 

 

This is priceless.

I'm older as well and my wife and little is much younger than me. We spent a lot of time trying to be and act the same age and finally fell into the DDLG dynamic and is been amazing! But don't worry about your age. I think being in your 50's is a perfect age for the right little. Your authentic... and that's awesome!

[Loxarchos]

I'm 43 going on 44.  Just recently discovered this for myself. But I think everyone is right about this. It's what you want, what you feel, and the relationship dynamic you create. Age is less important that chemistry, commitment, communication and trust.

 

In fact, the little who introduced me to this community as a whole is a few years older than me. She's a delectable, delightful, incredibly attractive and loving little who is going on 50.  It's all about her mindset, her spirit, her relationship with this world and whoever her partner might turn out to be.

Can never be too old, you can only be too young!

[Guest Arabbabygirl]

Being a daddy is more about the quality and nature of your dynamic than a number. If you still have enthusiasm for the lifestyle, I'm sure you will make a little happy.

[littlemortem]

i dont think anyones too old to be a daddy. in fact im one of those littles who like older men haha
