As long as we're talking a man (over 18) and you have something in common or at least can hold a conversation with the young man, more power to you. I dated a cop in her 30s when I was 23. My wife is older than me. Not Waaaay older but older all the same. I see nothing wrong with it.
My rule of thumb when I was dating in college was if they were in Jr. High when I graduated then I let it go. For women older, I think I was less restrictive. Maybe because I wanted that Graduate "Mrs. Robinson, I think you're seducing me" moment.

| Age is nothing but a number. If you are interested in any of these guys just get to know them and you'll figure out what is best.
|
|
|
|
| I guess there's just way too much other stuff involved for any kind of serious relationship with such a large age difference. I don't think I'd want to be ready to retire and have to wait for the other half's career to be able to do what I've already worked for. Just a fer'instance.

|
| I agree splatman. If I was in jr high or high school when they were born...way too young. Personally i like 5 yr difference at the most. but that is just me...
|
|
|
|
| My rule of thumb is that if the woman is younger than my oldest daughter, fahgetaboutit. She's 26 now and Im 20 years beyond that. Anything in that age range, though - fair game in my book.

So, did we scare DWITHAM off? I'd like to know what came of this - if anything.
Just curious, nothing perverted or anything like that at all.

| once you hit your mid 30's and older you only want younger woman or woman close to your age.

| My wife is the first and only women I went out with that was my age. Until her, I only went out with women older then me. They are hot, more confident; know what they want and where they are headed in life. Not to mention the sex was great! I still think older women are hot the only thing is most of them are not older then me any more.
|
|
|
|
| Take it as a compliment for sure. Older women have that confident about themselves. It's sexy.

| I think you should consider that good if you have younger guys asking you out. Give you something to tell you friends about. They will ask you how you managed to bag a young one.

Cute! Sultan. Actually, she could be. She's the same age as my wife. Hmmmm, honey! is there something you wish to tell me?
I did find being with twenty year olds for any length of time, trying. That thirty year difference is a lot, in terms of outlooks, maturity, goals and aspirations, depth, etc. I got an overwhelming feeling of been there, done that many times already.

| I'm 59 and Bonnie is 67.She has perfect stand up natural breast and can shake that booty like the singer Shakara,maybe wrong spelling,I think you get the point.We've been together 28 yrs. and age had nothing to do with it :) To bad she's married :)

| Bravo! Wow, is this Jr High School??? Since when does a date = Marriage? All the threads have advised her to go on the date. Nothing else. What ever happens after that date is up to them. If she likes the guy...cool. If not, also cool. (sorry if this comes off a little mean...) I admire DEVAN's concern, but let things take their course. They're both adults and can assess the situation on their own.

DEVAN, I think we're all saying "go for" trying it. None of us here know the situation other than the fact that she's a little freaked out by a younger guy asking her out.
None of us are saying "go for" getting married. We're saying "relax a little bit and try something new that you might enjoy". Obviously, if after a few dates it's no good, then we'd probably all be for not going any further.
I say, if you're not living on the edge you're taking up too much space!

| I wouldn't be hung up on the age difference at all. It is just a date. If he turns out to be a jerk and you are strong enough to realize it, then by all means consider it.
|
|
|
|
| They are asking you out. Let’s put this into perspective. It’s a date not a marriage GO OUT

I disagree with the "go for it" types. I say take it slow. You can enjoy each others company but what happens long term? At fifty, you are at a different stage of your life. In ten years, you will be looking toward retirement, a thirty-something will be just hitting their stride. I know too many who have their trophy wife and feel that the compromises of being in a different age relationship is a tough sacrifice, more so than they imagined. Will a gender role switch make enough of a difference?
The differences of a spring/fall friendship can be nice. You will have a friend with youth, zest and all that that entails, and you offer a mature outlook that is attractive.
I have been in a wide variety of relationships and in my experience, age matters.

| Let us know "how he is" for a younger guy!!
|
|
|
|
| Okay...thanks guys! You talked me into it! I'll stop analyzing and just go with it! Have a good one...!!

What is the line from "calendar girls?" Women are like sunflowers???? I can't remember the line but the point is that women get better as they get older. I broke family tradition and married a wonderful woman who is 3 yrs my junior. (however she is about 10 yrs my senior maturity wise.
If you like the guy then go out with him! Who really cares what anyone will say. Yave you heard all the jokes about a mature woman dating a guy who can keep up with her? Shure the "intmacy' is great but you have to drop him off in time for homeroom in the morning.
Who cares?!? If you're happy, he's good to you, and you click, I say more power to you and Enjoy!!!
PS I know many 53 y/o women who look in their 30's...you go girl!!!!
|
|
|
|
| Stop thinking, start going out with them
|
|
|
|
| Hmmmmm. Okay...I guess the real problem I have is that most of them are young enough to be my sons! People always say that I look alot younger than I really am...and I'm in pretty good shape..and they know my age before they ask me out. But..okay...truthfully...I am 53 and they are in their twenties. Is that too wierd??? PS-I'm not rich so it can't be for money...lol.

All I can add is this. As long as you're both not in diapers, GO FOR IT!!!!!
Most of the time I have been with women older than me(ranging from a few months to about 10years), and I never saw anything wrong with it. In fact, their friends were always envious that she could land a younger guy.

When i was 21 I brought a 37 year old nurse home to meet my folks. Then dated a 39 year old *she was my optician*. Then in college at 23 I hooked up with a SMOKIN' trophy wife-type who was 38.
I LLOOVVEE older women! What is the problem?? Instead of figuring it out, be flattered and go with it hunny! Demi Moore is!!

What exactly are you looking for as an answer? I'm not sure what your question is. Are you uncomfortable because ot their interest in you?
Are you interested in going out with any of these younger guys? Need more details as to the problem.
|
|
|
|
| PLEASE HELP! I need some feed back from you guys on this. I have younger guys (I'm talking WAY younger) asking me out. Not sure what to make of it.
