Oh boy will they have questions. A lot of us spent our teens and early 20s being paraded around by old guys as is societally appropriate and for a few of us those relationships stuck. So they will be extremely curious about what it's like to have the edge over a partner when it comes to age and experience and probably money. And they'll want to know about your sex life because people in long-term relationships often seem convinced that the world of sex is progressing at a rapid rate and so they must send envoys to bring back news from the front. Do your best to answer them honestly and feel free to embellish some of the finer details. It's fun to be the centre of attention and it's even more fun to do it by being subversive and unconventional. If people are going to find the older-woman-younger-man thing weird, then lean right into their prejudices and have some fun with it.
Brydie is an Australian writer and performer living in London and she complains exactly the same amount about the weather as every other Australian living in London. Yes, that is her natural lip colour, no, she will not be taking any further questions at this time.
