OP- go for it brother. The 1/2 plus 7 rule doesn't apply everytime, maybe for long term. But if just going out or hooking up - much more fun with youth.
"Don't sell yourself short -- you might be able to get a date with a 14 year old "
Another bitter chick that needs a date herself. | |

Then why should a younger woman want to date an older guy in his 50s? Logic goes both ways...
A lot of times it has to do with financial reasons and the guy being more stable and mature. | |

| Should I go out with a girl 16 years younger? Posted: 8/18/2009 7:00:24 AM | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I was playing devil's advocate. If some guy thinks that "hooking up" and hanging out is more fun with youth...then it should seem logical that a female would feel the same way. Why would a 20-something want to hook up with a guy 20 years or more older than her (generally, not saying there aren't some relationships that have truly formed) other than for what she can get out of it...I doubt a 50 year old dude is more fun than a guy twenty years his junior. Now, as always, people are individuals and it's not always age-related. But since many guys like to state that a female his age "can't keep up with him," ha! there are plenty of females who think the same thing about guys their age. And, any guy who wants to date a female 20 or more years younger probably isn't that "mature." Just an fyi, I think it's been established this post is a hypothetical, not an actual situation. With alllll of that said, I think anyone should go out with anyone if it works for both of them. | |

| Should I go out with a girl 16 years younger? Posted: 8/18/2009 8:36:21 AM | I don't really see a big issue with it, depending on the girl. I have dated a few women who were 10+ years younger than myself and it worked out pretty well. But I think it really depends on the people involved.
Are you one of these old dudes who think they are 21? Is she someone who wrongly thinks she is more mature and experienced than she actually is? Are you controling and looking for a partner who might not be as self confident as someone a little older? I've seen all those in relationships between older men/younger women and it's just freaking creepy!
But if you two are just normal people enjoying each others company, have fun. I would keep it at just dating though and nothing more serious. | |

| Should I go out with a girl 16 years younger? Posted: 8/18/2009 8:52:51 AM | Personaly I like older men. My only rule to myself is he can't be older then my dad. Im 29 they last guy I dated was 42. I enjoyed every secend of time we spent together. Age to me does not mean anything. However, the fact that your on here asking everyone els tells me that you my have a problem with it yourself. I think that your worryed about how other people will view you when your seen together. You my be ok with it when your by yourselvies but once you go out in poblic your going to be looking to see if people are staring. In this case I think you should keep looking. Becase where you my like her and injoy spending time with her you not going to be yourself. And in time your not going to want to take her anywhere cause you wont be cofterbul. And it just wont be good for ither of you.  | |

| Should I go out with a girl 16 years younger? Posted: 8/18/2009 12:18:52 PM | | In my opinion, no. In my line of work I've met a lot of couples where the guy was 8-10 years older than then girl and it ended in a trainwreck. I'm not saying it couldn't work... nothing is set in stone. But for the most part, unless she is extremely mature or you are extremely immature, you are at different points in your lives. A lot of younger girls who date older guys, get married and have kids end up wanting their "party days" back because they never had the chance to fully experience them. Do what you have to do, of course, but exercise caution. | |

| Should I go out with a girl 16 years younger? Posted: 8/18/2009 12:45:38 PM | When I was about this WOMAN'S age, I had a boyfriend who was 17 years older than me. My dad called him a craddle robbing child molester. Did I mention I was 24 at the time?
I will say, however, that it was largely due to the age difference that we ended up breaking up. He treated me like my thoughts and opinions were of no significance because I was "so young." | |

| Should I go out with a girl 16 years younger? Posted: 8/18/2009 2:27:44 PM | I think it depends how mature the woman is and what the man is looking for. Men get stereotyped when they pursue a younger woman, they're labeled a predator just looking for sex or something. I think it's bs. We already know men have no trouble acting like a 21 year old no matter what age they are. Heck I'll be going to amusement parks when I'm 60.
I fail to see an issue with let's say, a 35 year old guy pursuing a 24 year old woman, it makes perfect sense if they both are ready for marriage and children. Who would disagree with that? Face it not all women are career women or have the explorer personality. Many would love to, and do, settle down at age 24. | |

Is your daughter so stupid she can't make her own decisions? At 23 if she's been raised well one would think her choices would be good for herself. IF she chose a man of this same age difference what is your standing in it anyway?
Only if he was a clone of Michael Weatherly  | |

| Should I go out with a girl 16 years younger? Posted: 8/21/2009 10:53:34 AM | | Hey I still say go for it, to any guy. I know I don't have any women my own age beating down my door so I'm chasing any 21 year old hottie I see until someone takes me off the market. | |

| Should I go out with a girl 16 years younger? Posted: 8/24/2009 11:53:23 AM | Depends on comfort level, what the motivation is, what the ultimate agenda is.
-Learning experience and self-discovery? (open-minded, will try almost anything once?) -Grand ego-boost? --Reality bites, gonna see what living a fantasy might bring? | |
|
| Should I go out with a girl 16 years younger? Posted: 8/24/2009 6:06:49 PM | | It's no fantasy, guys only do it all the time. I'm not over 35 btw so a 21 year old isn't a 16 year difference for me. Like I said, there's no women my age beating down my door they're all taken mostly, so what do ya have to lose. | |
