Posted: 10/6/2009 6:12:06 PM | | Would I date someone much younger? Hmmm.. I suppose I would gie it a shot but 22 or so is very young and pushing the evelope of my preferred age range. However, as long as she is old enough to drink she is old enough for me to date but I might find it hard to talk about common shared experiences since she would be too young to remember a lot of the stuff Gen. X liked when I was growing up and I don't follow the trends of the younger Generation Y. | |

Posted: 10/8/2009 5:50:49 PM | | I believe it depends on where the two are in their lives. Some younger people grow up fast with life and are ready for where life is for MOST people in their 30's. I have found that it is tougher meeting women my age that aren't tring to relive their youth. It's party time all over again. I think it all falls on how mature both are, if their are children involved and what each are looking for in life's future. | |

That's a good point, and can be quite a shock if you think about it that way. But then if age is just a number to some people, why think about it at all? :P
At the end of the day, I personally feel that it all comes down to each person's own personal experiences and maturity level. Someone said they couldn't ignore the age gap because the young girl in her 20s would be busy partying almost everyday, but that's not true in a lot of other cases.
As for me, there've been a lot of experiences in my younger years that have forced me to grow up rather quickly, perhaps quicker than some others. I find that I actually share a lot more interests with men in their late 20s and 30s than men my age, not sure why that is. I guess the whole maturity thing comes into play for that as well. I've always managed to get on real well with older men.
Aw hell, I don't know. Give it a whirl and see how it goes. Make sure he doesn't have herpes and use a condom. LOL again I have no intentions to date him, much less sleep with him (!!)...but thanks for the laugh :P
so...get over it. he has his preferences like everyone else.
Umm I AM over it, I was just asking for opinions from men in their 30s or later. What's so bad about that?? | |

Posted: 10/14/2009 6:21:27 AM | There might be more to his reluctance to become involved with you than just the age. Did he say to you specifically that the reason was your age? It could be something as simple as him feeling a friendship chemistry with you, and nothing more.
When I was 27, I dated a woman that was 19 for two years. I think most of it has to do with the kind of chemistry you have and how well you communicate. Find out what his feelings for you are, and you'll have your answer. If he's an honest man, and you ask him sincerely, I would imagine he would provide you with an honest answer.
It's up to you to decide if you're ready to hear that answer.. | |

Posted: 10/14/2009 1:41:21 PM | I just turned 36 and one of the women I am currently seeing is only 22. We have a great time and she is lots of fun. From the start I have told her that I have difficulty seeing long term possibilities though. We are just in two very different stages of life. I have two children, a career, a house, and all the responsibilities that go along with that. And she is still in college working part time. Plus she is actually closer in age to my 9 year old then me let alone my teenager!!
We do connect very well, share many of the same ideals, and have a great level of interpersonal understanding. If I didn't have children then I would give her a more serious look relationship wise. We haven't been seeing each other very long and its more of a sexual relationship then anything at the moment. But anything is possible in this life so if in the future it worked into something more then yes I would consider it. | |

Posted: 10/23/2009 11:52:22 AM | I'm 37 and last GF was 25. Didn't work out, but more of a career thing (her job took her to another city and it was paying way too much to pass up) and I don't do Long Distance. But when we were together, we were GREAT!
So, here's a case study you can add to your collection. | |

Posted: 10/24/2009 11:58:02 PM | | It's difficult for him to see you as a woman rather than as a child. When I look back on my own early 20s, I look like a child to myself, with child-like problems and child-like judgements. | |

Posted: 11/1/2009 8:28:08 PM | No, it's very unlikely that I would date someone who is much younger than me. Age is only a number, but large gaps usually involve stage-of-life differences. Particularly, when comparing someone in their early 20's (typically students, no established career, and still in party mode) to someone in their 30's (the opposite of what's mentioned for those in their 20's). You may not be in party mode, but you are a student. That's a no-no for me at this stage of my life. Not all guys in their 30's will be well-established and out of party mode, but I am.
It comes down to preferences. Some people wouldn't care about age.

Makes perfect sense to me. | |

Posted: 11/1/2009 8:29:55 PM | | This is going to be something that some are willing to do and others not. I find age gaps to be somewhat of a problem in terms of common interests, but not all people will. I personally dont care who dates who and what their age gaps are as long as it is legal, but for me someone closer to my age is better. | |

Posted: 11/2/2009 12:53:47 AM | | But then again. An older women wouldn't have supported and stuck by her man. My young girlfriend was confused and needed her mommy and daddy to love her. So she chose them. She still wants me to wait around as if something will change. I don't believe the hype. Not anymore, plus she moved to Florida for a job and although we talk sometimes on the phone. Her young ass is hitting the club scene a little way too much for me in my late ages. | |

Posted: 11/2/2009 2:23:29 PM | | hmm...op...you can't force him to date you...but there's certainly nothing wrong with it. it's in his mind though, so you're probably not going to get anywhere with it unless he has a major epiphany lol | |

Posted: 11/2/2009 8:08:43 PM | Myself, when I am looking to start a relationship with a woman I do NOT want drama!! Women that live, breathe and sleep drama usually get the boot no matter how beautiful they are, I just will not tolerate it anymore. I think drama and maturity has more to do with a man finding a true partner that supports them rather than age differences.
I don't know about anyone else, but my position is this: I tend to find that young women demonstrate a unique ability to be fairly immature and utterly hung up on constant drama, even into their 30's. Men my age are just looking on getting rid of the drama in their everyday lives. They have to deal with it at work, family, etc... Men just want every moment out side of the things they hate to have to do in life to be nothing but good stress free moments they they can enjoy and want to experience on a regular basis. When a relationship becomes work, it's time to go another direction. That's why I personally adore older women, I never have any issues with them for the most part they understand that when I don't call every five hours it's not because I'm rejecting them, I may not even call for a few days, but it's because I have important things to do. I tend to find older women don't force things. To men, no drama is just as attractive as a man with real confidence is to women.
I hate being told things like "you should have known better" while pouting as if I should have read your mind and known not to do something I did anyway. I hate it when someone I'm dating tells me "I should drop everything I'm doing to make her the center of the universe for a few hours "EVERY DAY" ...especially when I have very important things to concentrate on or do such as work or classes ...so I can pay rent and buy food get through school etc. Young women do this all the time. Men can't always make time and I find younger women are very impatient, needy and truly lack self-confidence to be patient. If a woman can make the down time pleasurable then she's definitely a keeper, no matter the age.
I don't mean to make my answer sound like I dislike younger women, I don't. I'm just trying to be brutally honest. I love younger women and will happily date a younger woman as long as she wasn't like the aforementioned. Older woman can have flaws as well, most don't want to have a family/children past a certain age ....so it's not all peaches and creme with the older ladies either.

Posted: 11/3/2009 7:10:59 AM | Hey Sweetbilly,
I find the opposite. I find younger women often at the start of their careers and often you are squeezed in when they have the free time. I find the ones that tend to be more clingy are in their 30's, as they become more comfortable in their careers and are looking for more out of them (attention, time commitments, marriage commitments...).
I prefer a woman to have her own life and not rely on me to "fulfill" hers so on that front, I think we are in agreement. | |

Posted: 11/3/2009 11:35:29 PM | | No, I would not. And I would use caution when dating older men. Men who consistently date much younger women often have serious domination/control issues. This may have not been true for the man in your case, but it is common. | |

Posted: 11/4/2009 1:04:46 AM | I dont see any reason that an age gap should be all that is considered when deciding whether or not to date someone.
My parents are 11 years apart and still married.
I would say that sometimes dating a younger person can be challenging in the aspect that they have not experienced life as much as you have. THere still may be some immaturity. Not just immaturity in actions, but in life expiriences, intamacey, and many other areas. The younger person may have wants and desires that the older person has already experienced, and are not inclined to repeat, such as children.
I think that as long as you take it slowly, and communicate all of your future wants and desires, and are on the "same page" in that respect, then it could work quite nicely. | |

Posted: 11/4/2009 2:17:11 AM | Yea dating a YOUNGER woman is the WAY to go for MOST men in their 30's since the women in their 30's and 40's are acting like college freshmen or had their kids TOO young and want to live "life" now or trying to "change" after a bad lifesytle in their WILD 20's!!
I think a younger female that has NOT been around like a used automobile is a good option!! I see too many 30 something females act like now that they are in their 30's and supposedly soooo "assured" of themselves, are trying to relive those old high school or college days passing it off as "still having it going on"  How DELUSIONAL!!
I see why older men are looking for younger women before they hit the DIRTY 30's!! Some of them are ACTUALLY more mature than the older women!! My....how TIMES are really changing!! | |

Posted: 11/4/2009 4:38:29 PM | My opinion ( from my own experiences ) is that girls of all ages can be immature ..it's has less to do with age and more to do with personality traits.
That being said.. I have always dated younger girls. Honestly, we've had the same relationship problems that would stem from any other typical relationship. People are imperfect at any age. | |
