| | Would you date someone 20 years older than you?Page 7 of 9 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) | | I'm great at dating older women. A gent. I get to dance and engage... I just don't have sex with someone who is way out of shape due to gravity. I know what it's like to pay for cosmetic surgery and in some cases, it's okay. But for you, just run the guy through some background checks, make sure he ain't no bad guy. You know what I mean. Flowers are flowers and fixing your plumbing is fine but if dude can't take you to Italy you're selling yourself short. You're in a rural area, so.. | |

Posted: 6/17/2012 4:12:55 AM | | Yes, i would and have. Even with my negative experience of dating a man 25 years older in my late thirties brought me sadness because he wasn't very mature. I have found that my much older male friends valuable sources of inspiration, knowledge, and kindness. Those friends are happily married and one is life-long bachelor. | |

Posted: 6/17/2012 9:33:59 PM | | Last week a client shows up and I been talking to her as I do with all the clients. Don't remember what we talked about but she asked me if she looks her age which is 60... Of course I said no she doesn't, Wonder why women think they always look younger duhhh. Cause guys we never tell them the truth even if they look older then there age.. Well she hinted that she is intrested, In a very easy to get way.. All I could think in my head oh hell no... I can't see my self dating someone that is 15 years older then me let alone 20. | |

Posted: 6/18/2012 4:10:09 AM | I dated someone 11 years older than me. We met when was I was 27 and she was 38. We had a 9-year relationship that ended 2 years ago, relatively amicably.
If we were still together, she'd be 49. Yet now I am single and 38, I absolutely would not consider dating someone of 49. I guess our life experiences shape us and I would not want such a large age gap again. | |

Posted: 6/18/2012 6:57:01 PM | I would date a woman at pretty much any age (within reason). My ex-wife was 13 years younger. It was never an issue.
I say go for it! Enjoy the moment whatever his age.
I can't understand the woman older than me though ... I recently sent dozens of emails to woman between the ages of 53 and 58 and NONE of them wanted to have anything to do with me. They all said I was out of their comfort range in terms of age or they were looking for someone older. Oh well. | |

Posted: 6/20/2012 7:56:04 PM | | No I would not date someone 20 years my sr nor would I date someone who is 20 years my jr. I wonder if you arent settling for the most convent option. When you settle you have to give up something. When you settle for a husband you dont feel passionate about you end up losing it. You can just as lonely in a bed with someone as in a bed alone. | |

Posted: 6/22/2012 4:09:28 PM | | I hope to heaven women 20 years younger then me would be interested. I;m not pathologically single, know how to treat a woman, commitment ready. What's the problem, if she dies she dies. | |

Posted: 6/22/2012 4:49:25 PM | Age should not be a problem if is not a prblem with both of you, people have opinions on who they would not date and who they would date. The desicion is up to you,is he a quality person? does he treat you well ? do you like spending time with him ? Wellll???? no brainer.
Age limits is a social-cultural thing, in this case you ask other people, ask yourself this, "Do I care", 'Will my life be better and enjoyable because of what I chose?" | |

Posted: 6/26/2012 11:22:48 AM | | As I stated once before in the 45 or older forum- some of my best dates have been with women in their 40's and even a few in their 50's. For me it comes from having a hard time connecting with women my age. I have traveled the world, been to war, went to college, I own a vineyard! I dont follow the model of a typical 25 year old who still likes to hit up spring break to get some ass. Dont get me wrong I like to have fun, but fun can be had in many ways and not all of them require you to be drunk and naked... LOL | |

Posted: 6/26/2012 8:22:44 PM | | I had FWBs / casual relationships with women who were about 20 years older than me. One time I even had a casual relationship with a woman who was 26 years older than me. I was 29 and she was 55 at the time. We enjoyed the relationship and had fun. But we knew a LTR won't work out due to the large age difference. For a serious relationship, 10 years older is my general limit. Although I would consider dating someone is a little bit outside of my age range. | |

Posted: 6/26/2012 10:23:49 PM | When I was in my early/mid 20's I did and didn't even blink twice about it.
As for marrying a woman 20 years older, when I was in my early/mid 20's I considered the possibility with several women I was dating and wouldn't have blinked twice under the right circumstances.
You can theorize about what if they're 80 and you're 60, but seriously, given that the divorce rate is 50% average marriage is only 8 years, and the median marriage is only 11 years, if you make it from 25 and 45 to 45 and 65 you probably aren't going to be breaking up over sagging boobs.
As for the children issue, it wasn't an issue. Men can procreate well into their later years if you break up, and there's always the possibility of surrogate mothers if you're still together later in life.
Would I date someone in their 20's if I was single today? Sure I would, if the woman was the right woman. Maybe I'll be 80 and she'll be 60, but the right woman will be interested in alot more than my devastating smile. And charm doesn't really go away with age does it?
And reaalistically, we all lose our physical attributes. It's what's inside that keeps you going as the years roll on. I wouldn't expect it to be any different whether I was 20 years older or 20 years younger for the right woman. | |

Posted: 6/27/2012 2:48:45 PM | 20 years ago, yes, and I have. Nowadays, only if they have really good health coverage and don't have a curfew at the rest home....LOL.....No, not now, I wouldn't.
Personally, though, I've always felt more comfortable dating women older than myself. They are usually more mature than women in my own age group. However, it's just not practical for my needs and wants anymore. | |

i don't think men do well dating older women...especially significantly older women...why? because let's be honest, men are visual. guys, when you are 40 and the woman you are with is in her 50s, are you really going to be happy?
My cousin married a woman 9 years older and they just celebrated 30 years together. I dated a widower 9 years my junior who had married to a woman 18 years older than he was and they were together happily for 20 years until her death from breast cancer. He was very handsome and had absolutely no problem with our age difference.
OP---Age has little to do with love...if this man is a well-intentioned, decent, caring man, has a good reputation and gets along well with your children, I see no harm in exploring a relationship. A lot of May-December relationships last a lifetime. | |

Posted: 7/4/2012 8:10:25 AM | | I think you misread the beginning. The farm boy is twenty years younger than the mother of the bunch. I only can say if he is still growing in his learning and experiences he will probably leave you for a younger one eventually. I dated an older woman once that I thought was attracted to me. What seemed to be the case was she was attracted to the fact that I was a little boy and it was more of a fantasy. I never could get her away from feeling guilty. She only wanted me for sex. If being taboo is for you, don't do something you will regret or would be ashamed to tell your parents about. | |

Posted: 7/4/2012 10:50:47 PM | | So, did you go there? 15 years is nothing, you aren't a man till your thirty anyway. Let him stack your hay, then go runnin' thro the rye with him, out of mercy. but your kids come first, then when he dies earlier than you, you just take his assets >:) | |

Posted: 7/13/2012 8:05:09 PM | | Doctor-Lock...you misread. The farmer is twenty years older than I. Twenty years younger than me would be a child- and I am absolutely not into that sick stuff. | |

Posted: 7/16/2012 11:00:12 AM | I wouldn't date someone twenty years older than me - old enough to be my dad is too old for me. I can't picture a serious relationship with someone substantially younger than me either, though I have dated younger guys.
But that's not to say it wont work out for everyone. Some girls like older guys and some guys like older women - if you're both happy and looking fo the same things from the relationship then no problem. | |
