I think it's important not to forget that females tend to mature quicker than males do. With that being said, An older guy dating a younger woman can sometimes even out the maturity levels, whilst sadly, an older woman dating a younger guy may wind up single again faster than the other way around due to the same maturing factors.
2.) In the same debate, Females tend to live longer than Males do. With that being said, A woman dating a younger guy might be able to even out the life expectancy rates, whilst sadly, and older guy dating a younger woman will more than likely leave her widowed with many years of being alone.
It's a catch 22 either way you look at the above.
In many cases though, neither of the above are the deciding factor and it boils down to 2 other factors.
3.) physical ability to perform. A younger guy tends to have more energy and vigor, same as a younger a woman.
4.) Dating younger men / women makes the older partners feel younger (this sometimes stems from a subconscious fear of getting old or blatant denial).
In conclusion:
There's really no win / win scenario and you must accept the good with the bad regardless why one chooses age to be a factor. The most important aspect, no matter what either party chooses, is that you're both happy with the arrangement. It's that happiness & potential love that develops that makes even a short time together worth the pain that follows. As one wise man once said: "It's better to have loved once and been hurt than to have never loved at all"

Posted: 7/9/2012 6:19:35 PM | | I couldnt date someone older because It would creep me out. I dont know why but it would. Granted I dont party anymore but Id really like a man with no kids. I need a man who has time for me. Most younger men dont. Granted I wouldnt turn down a 24 yr old. It depends how in shape the guy is. I couldnt date an older man because I havent seen one ever that I find attractive besides celebs or athletes | |

Just do what makes you happy as long as it is not at someone elses expense. | |

It appears that while females do tend to mature faster than males in their younger years, once males complete puberty they seem to move back up the IQ ladder and take the lead according to a few psychological studies: http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/the-scientific-fundamentalist/201010/girls-are-more-intelligent-boys-men-are-more-intelligent-w However, I'm sure there's other studies out their with different results. The Guinness book of world records shows that it's a female that holds the highest IQ record in adulthood: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marilyn_vos_Savant and further google searching shows that adult females tend to show 210+ iq's while males tend to show 190+ iq's. Again there's probably way more research data out there to support both sides of the iq debate. The iq debate is silly anyways and was only added to this thread as 1 of many reasons why older females sometimes like to date younger guys. While some may disagree, repeated incidents show that the average woman is more psychological / emotional while the average male is more physical. This may or may not lend support to female maturity since they hold more of psychological / emotional stance.
At any rate, all the data above I'm sure has an article counter part somewhere from a scientist looking to disprove it. At the end of the day, no matter which sides right, we can really only base our day to day dating education on personal hands on experiences. Because of this, results may vary greatly for everyone since no 2 people are alike. :)

Posted: 7/15/2012 4:15:16 PM | Since I am an older guy, I know I offer a younger woman a great deal of advantages over the younger, immature guys they tend to find in their dating circles. I am financially well rounded, and experienced in many, many ways. The younger guys would not be able to compete in those two areas.
I think the older guy can date anyone that is of legal age....for me, I have to at least date someone older than my daughter....lol (she is 23 right now)....
I am 47...and have dated a few women in their 20's and early 30's. I know what I offer mostly for younger woman is the fact I know how to help with raising kids...and I love kids. My 3 kids are all grown...and doing well....so I must have done something right lol | |

Posted: 7/15/2012 4:25:39 PM | | Jland47... I hope you give this advice to your 23 year old daughter that she would be better suited to someone in the 45-50 range so that she experiences greater advantages. | |

Not to be disrespectful but dosen't that kinda bother you trying to meet women the same age as your kids??? Thankfully my parents are re-married and the people they married are their age. I'd be upset though if my dad was dating a gal my age, especially if shes a hottie cause then i'd wanna date her!! Youngest i'll date is 25. I'd feel like a creep trying to date a 21 year old let alone,lol | |

Maybe not….but younger guys and younger women can experience all those wonderful things together for the first time, ya know, like they were in a real relationship or something. | |

If you were single and unencumbered, that might be true---but alas, you are not. You have nothing to offer to a younger woman that some younger, unmarried men couldn't offer her. | |

It must be every mother's dream to see her kids become just like you. With the bar set that low, their success is guaranteed. | |

Posted: 7/15/2012 7:19:26 PM | When younger myself, and at my present age, I just instinctively had a hard time respecting a girl who didn't want to own up to her part of her age, financially. Her, and a guy her age, should face the world and the financial challenge together. Instead, a girl who gives herself to someone who already is "stable and established" for the reason that he is, is to me a wimp, sell out, etc.

I think it's more revealing when we look at how we're judging what maturity is when we decide that a young boy isn't mature and a girl is. I think that how we define maturity, and the pretentions of it, are suspect. | |

I have my doubts about your picture, unless we have aged differently. I am 47 myself. Dating younger probably wouldn't lead to anything long term, but what the hell? | |

I'm pleased you mention it... I have a feeling he has been 47 for the last 20 years or so... I can't figure out why ;-) | |

Wow. At least lie reasonably about your age!! | |

Posted: 7/16/2012 11:51:23 PM | | ^^^Yep, I'll second that. .. .one of my friend's husband is 48, and he doesn't look it. .looks like early 40's, at the oldest. Oh, the poster that said he's 47? :D Maybe 15-20 years ago. Some people are so delusional on here, it's so sad, it's hilarious. | |

Posted: 7/18/2012 1:57:36 PM | jland47 's picture is fake. It's a stock photo. But he's married and looking for IE, so no shock with anything about his fake profile. So if you're wondering why he looks like a senior, he did pick "senior with arms crossed" as a picture.

Here's more places he's modeled for

Posted: 7/18/2012 2:53:05 PM | I don’t think it’s possible to address the issue by putting a definite term of years on it. To say you’d never date someone more than 10 (or any other number) years older or younger than you are is such an arbitrary approach and scarcely rational. You’d date someone 3,640 days older/younger than you are but not someone 3,641 days older/younger than you are (discounting leap years for the discriminating)? Makes no sense to me.
Most relationships are not for life. It’s a date, you go out, you have a relationship, - it’s not an organ donation. It’s more than a little ironic to hear single people who are not in an LTR argue about the long-term ramifications of a relationship when most of them have never experienced a relationship lasting longer than 10 years.
And why are there so many threads about Spring/Winter relationships and so few about temperament, humor or compassion? When was the last time you read a thread evaluating the quality of a potential date by the amount of charity work they’d performed in their life? | |

Posted: 7/20/2012 4:06:22 PM | | It depends,but I do believe that as long as both people are of legal age then I see nothing wrong with it. Age is just a number. The only thing that really stands in people's way are interests. I'm 36 and not really into the club scene anymore,but a girl who is 20 or 21 may love to go out and do that kinda stuff. So,interests my come into play,but again, age is just a number. | |

These younger women you say you date have any trouble recognising you when you turn up not looking anything like your fake photo?
I would feel decidedly creepy to be dating a woman young enough to be my daughter and I would seriously wonder what I had in common with her. 'Financially well-rounded and experienced' eh? | |

I love men over 30..
I'd wager you'd draw the line at somebody my age though, as some here are suggesting? | |
