older guys younger women Page 2 of 29    (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)
angelos: To me that seems perfectly acceptable. We should all get the chance to try our own hand at a relationship like this and if we succeed well sh!t lets get the party started! Like every other relationship its a balance thats agreed upon between the two consenting parties, no? You either agree or you dont and if you do, then you try your d*mned hardest to honour your agreement, otherwise be man enough and say 'Sorry dude, its not working.'

personally, always have dated guys older than me, but then a majority of my female friends are older than me as well so those are the ones i tend to meet!

I think if two people are attracted to each other ( aslong as its legal) age,race religion etc shouldnt matter.

I get more offers to date girls in their twenties now than I ever did in my own twenties, and its a little freaky. The sad part is I say no :) I wouldnt have before. To me a woman doesnt even come into being until she reaches 30, you guys can have all the girls, I wanna be rocked by a woman !! Yabba dabba dooo

Dating and marrying a woman 10 or even 20 years younger than you is perfectly acceptable. It happens often. It is in fact a good idea there is substantial justification to support the idea. The opposite is very rare for the same reasons.

Let me digress for a moment. If you don't want to have children, then don't try to talk a younger woman out of having them. If you break up later, you have done her a gross injustice. The expression, "I gave you the best years of my life" refers to a womans child bearing years and her biggest poker chip in the game of life. Once gone, she has little to bargain with. So don't waste her time. You will be contributing to the huge number of single women over 40 without children deparately seeking partners with little dimishing success as they get older. That such women seek partner their own age is foolish beyond belief.

A marriage in which the husband is older is stronger than a marraige among couples both the same age. Think of this. If the woman is much younger, it is unlikely the man will run off with a younger woman. Furthermore, the man has had a chance to accumulate the resources necessary to support a wife and children. Women mature, relationship-wise, faster than men. So both partners are equally mature and ready for marriage when the man is older.

Men are attracted tor younger women for the simple reason that a woman's youth implies health and the ability to bear children. The rule used to be the woman should be half a man's age plus seven when they get married. It still holds today because a woman's child bearing years are very limited. One lady friend of my tells me that a 45 year old woman's eggs are like over-ripe banana's. I disagree, but her point that birth defects, Down's Syndrome, and mental retardation getting exponentially higher as women age has merit. Also, child-brith caused fatalities among older mothers increases substantially.

What do women want? Women seek men with money and try to tie a man up with financial obligations, like mortgages, jewelry demands, and car payments, so that it will be finanically impossible for him to leave her. That is insecurity for you. That is what makes them feel safe. There is nothing wrong fabout women seeking men that fit their idea of a good partner, and often means wealth or other resources.

Nothing pisses a woman off more than the fact that her commodity, sex and child bearing diminishes over time, while the man's commodity, money and resources increases over time. This is why Donald Trump is on his third wife, who is about 23 years younger, and why women who take their husbands for granted find themselves divorced. A man can always console himself by finding a younger woman, and starting a new family, while a woman consoles herself by taking her husband to the cleaners financially. Wouldn't it be better if the woman was younger, better able to have children, and the man older, done sowing wild oats, with a fat wallet, and emotionally ready for family life? Can there be any doubt about this?

I should take my own advice. I've been dating a gal I knew in high school, who is my own age. We get along great, trust each other, and have lots in common, but one big problem. She has no children and doesn't want to have any. I want my own children, and like most men, I don't want to adopt. So that means either we must split up, or else hire a host mother and find someone to donate some eggs. The later option is complicated and costly and, I expect, not likely to occur. I need to apply some tough-love here and apply the time test marraige age rule to myself. At 48, I should look for a woman that is around 31.

Night Sailor....Please keep us informed of your tough love plan.

My children were huggable babies, loveable preteens, and teens that couldn't wait to get out there and live their own lives. Now they are gone almost as fast as they arrived it seems.

Is your plan worth the trouble of the years it may take to find a willing and able young woman who will marry you. She may already have children being in her 30s, but no you wouldn't want her, you won't adopt and you shouldn't. All children deserve to be loved and cared for, they don't choose their parents, like we get the priviledge of choosing them sometimes.

Well if she never had children her fertility is unknown and maybe by the grace of God you have or don't have children with her. Then what, do another tough love plan. Now you are in your fifties+ and no bank account like the Donalds.

I would give my eye teeth to have a mate in my life that I get along great with and I could trust and have things in common too. What are you thinking? Spend the money for the surrogate, it probably will be cheaper in the long run.

I have had the same experience Ramcharger. I never thought I would be turning down 19 and 20 year olds but I have been lately. I have a niece who's older than that and it's kind of odd. In fact my last girlfriend was a friend of my niece and that was awfully strange.

It seems to me that girls under 25 who like men my age have an idealized idea of what we are like. Unfortunately I think I have a better idea of what they want than they do. When I finally settled on a girlfriend it was kind of a toss up between my girlfriend (29) and another girl who is 22.

I think the 29 year old was the right choice. She wants to have a baby as much as I do but she wants to be sure we're going to stay together. The 22 year old wanted to meet and try to have a baby immediately. That betrayed her immaturity to me.

the four woman I "casually" date are 19, very sweet girl who has a long term bf and is by far the most mature and intellingent one, 20, the most sex crazed nympho I've run across in my life who has a fiance, 22, law student, very sexual and by far the best body has an occasional bf here and there, and 24, very warm, pretty, "nice" and is married.
I'm 43 and each of these woman see something in me that works for both of us.
Age is not a factor. Compatibility is.

Right on Bells. Whether it's age , race , religion, brand of jeans, loves pets hates pets, chilli or no chilli, tall or short - who cares if when you first look at them the music starts. Older guys like me have crossed a few dry creek beds, we know the ropes, and can be great friends as well as fantastic lovers.

Say what you want, but it's these younger girls that keep us older guys egos up and going! For just when you think ( hell! I;m getting so homely that do no babe's going to look at me!) Some pretty young thing comes along and makes over you and your good for an other year. Just my opinion.

Out of curiosity, how do you guys hook up with women so much younger than you? Do they do the pursuing or do you? I am in my late 40s and a couple of years back I used to talk to a nice young lady at work who was 20 years my junior. We had some good conversations and one time she tells me that we need to keep talking because we have alot in common with one another. At that point I decided to ask her to get together and do something sometime. She made a flimsy excuse and avoided me after that. Similar situations have come up since then but I have decided to keep my mouth shut about getting together.

As silly as this may sound, I've always been attracted to someone born within two
years of my birthdate. If you believe that, put on your white gloves on and buy this
ketchup popscicle. The truth is you're always going to notice an attractive adult no matter what age you are as long as you've got some Mojo left in you,
but good logic and wisdom make you stop and question yourself as to where you'd
be 30 years down the road.

I should elaborate on that. I'm in my mid thirties, so of course I'm going have
that perspective. So in other words, I can't really speak for someone who may be 50 and looking for companionship.

someone told me that for guys it is Half your Age plus 7. That gets even for the all those comments we had to endure when the teenage girls kept telling us how MORE mature they were and that they were going to date the seniors. ( not that I hold any sort of grudge!)

It appears that they feel secure and confident with older males.
It may be that men after 40 do not get over exited and the younger
girl may be thinking that she is in control of the proceedings in the bed.
Two girls under 25 I took to bed in the past are still have hot for me
than the lads after them.
t in love give more and take less

Im going to be 30 this year, and I try not to date anyone who is alot younger then I am! I have a 6 year old daughter and a 5 year old son and I think that if I went to a restaurant or wherever with an 18 year old and my kids, that would just look too weird. The lady has to look atleast old enough to be my kids mother or atleast in the public's eyes!!

What about the other way though, look at all the hot 30 to 40 year olds on this site!! I know that I am going to catch crap for this (from the younger ladies), but the older ones seem to know what they want and I've found from my experiences, that they are less likely to play the games!! Women betwen 30 - 40, you know where the love is!!

I went to see a movie this afternoon (Meet the Fockers - walked out after an hour...hehe - film broke....they weren't gonna be able to fix it...) but b4 the movie started, I was thinking of this subject...older man, younger woman - older woman, younger man....and I realized it don't make an iota of difference - who the **** cares? And why? If the couple are happy, it ain't gonna affect anyone else....

I have thought a lot about this and I don't think I would date a woman under 25. I am 35 and I just don't think I would have much in common with an 18-24 year old nor would she with me. We are both in two different stages of our lives. I am at the point in my life where having kids is very important to me and I think most women in the 18-24 range are still trying to find out what is important to them. I know at that age I was thinking about going out to parties and bars, not having kids. Now at 35 I don't like to go to bars and the only parties I go to are birthday parties for my friend’s children. I have no problem with people who can make it work it's really none of my business and as hard as it is to find someone if they are happy that’s all that matters.

And why? If the couple are happy, it ain't gonna affect anyone else....

- I can tell you.....when I was dating an older woman from my workplace, there was several people who were jealious and one inparticular jerk was super jealious of me. He attempted to sabotaged the relationship I was in with this older woman many times. In the end she went to him....but he's a 42 year old ugly loser (who looks exactly like Soviet Dictator Joseph Stalin...with the same mustache) with no dignity and no honor. How jealious was this jerk??? Well.......he destroyed pictures of me at my ex's place on one of his first attempts to cut into my relationship. Steal her away from me. He was complaining how my ex shouldn't be dating me cuz I'm wealthy (supposedly...but I'm not), own a house, a car, and other things. I achieved everything before I was 25. I made a life for myself.

I was happy dating an older woman.....but I didn't like other people meddling in our business...especially this loser whom i see everyday at work now. Some people even thought it was funny to harass me at work on the P.A. system and in writing...praising the other jerk...saying he was the big stud of the wareshouse and he owns all women. When I complained at work about the harassment, I got 2 death threats. How stupid! It was all people who were jealious of me.....and wanted to put me down.
