Older men ‘couldn’t keep up’, so an older woman claims she feels like she’s ‘win the lotto’ after landing a man 21 years younger.

After her divorce, Texas woman Michelle Rinella, 54, decided to give love another shot and discovered that she was “bored” by men her own age who seemed more interested in “where they could park.”

The 54-year-old allegedly disregarded the numerous younger guys in their 20s who “kept messaging” her until she received a message from her now-husband, 33-year-old Brandon Graham.

Despite their immediate “fiery” physical desire, the psychologist claimed that he most surprised her with his “emotional vulnerability” in contrast to older men who were more “rigid and didn’t need anything from a relationship.”

After being married to a man eleven years her senior, Michelle now feels that the younger age difference ‘creates passion’ because she is ‘smart’ and truck driver Brandon is ‘fun, fit, and vibrant’.

Once ‘upset’ by people’s looks, the mother-of-four acknowledged that today those who critique them just strengthen their bond since they are ‘enthusiastic about fighting for the relationship’.

After two years of marriage, Michelle says her love feels like “winning the lottery,” despite the fact that she started the relationship feeling “unhopeful.”

Michelle said: ‘I think the thing about the age gap that made this relationship work is that the age gap creates passion.

‘For me, he is young, fit, beautiful, vital, and fun. I definitely wasn’t finding that with the 50-year-old men. To him, I am wise and established while still being attractive.

‘It was definitely an instant attraction. On our first date, my first thought was ‘he’s even more handsome than in the pictures’. I mean there’s obviously the sexual attraction right, that’s like fire.

‘But then there was this emotional attraction. He came with a level of vulnerability that I wasn’t used to. Older men were just more rigid and they didn’t need anything from a relationship.

‘For both of us, it just feels like winning the lottery, everything we had been looking for, so that creates an amazing level of passion.’

When Michelle first met the certified PT online in September 2019, she had just recently resumed dating after taking a break from it.

Michelle said: ‘At first, I don’t think I was very hopeful about it given the age gap. He messaged me. I opened it and thought to myself, “Another 20-something. Why do they keep messaging me?”‘

‘Then I looked at his picture and thought, “Maybe a quick hello wouldn’t hurt!” I sent him a message that said “How old are you?” and he replied “Old enough to make you happy”. He was right.

‘There had only been one other man, right before Brandon. He was older than me. He was just the opposite of Brandon.

‘He was just terribly rigid and it was such a boring dating experience that I couldn’t keep doing it. Dating Brandon was a breath of fresh air. There was definitely more excitement.

‘The older guy would be like: “I don’t want to go to that place because it’s too hard to park”. It felt like he wasn’t living his life. They couldn’t keep up with me. They were just boring.’

On strangers judging them, Michelle said: ‘The other part of the passion is knowing that people might be judging us. It makes us passionate about fighting for our relationship. It’s nice to be out just because he’s so handsome.

‘We walk in the room and it’s like the screeching of a record sound. The whole room goes quiet. People are looking. It used to really bother me.

‘He made me understand that people are going to look. There’s no benefit in trying to make the worst out of it.

‘Maybe people are looking at us because we’re a good-looking couple. If not, maybe they just don’t know what it’s like to really feel like this.

Michelle said: ‘Right now we’re 20 years apart but we’re in the same part of our lives. The big thing is that in 20 years, I’ll be 75 and he’ll be 55.

‘For a while I was pretty resistant to this as a long-term relationship because of that. He wasn’t.

‘It wasn’t that I couldn’t trust him to be faithful to me right now, it was can I trust you to take care of elderly me later? The thought of that is hard as we’ll be at different parts of our lives.

‘I’ll be elderly and he’ll still be young enough to be healthy but I just can’t get stuck worrying about that.’

‘Even though others might be judging us, it just adds to the feelings of attraction now.’
