Posted: 12/18/2006 9:06:15 AM | Age gap is subjective between the 2 people - how they are perceived in society is quite another thing. People are and can be rude and nasty. A man with money who sports arm candy is considered lucky while a woman with a man candy is considered a cougar. ok now what about that?
I have a child who is 20. So for me dating a guy between 40 & 60 works considering we have things in common - its not just about sex. I have met guys 50+ that look and act younger than men 40. I look younger than my age and am very active and youthful. Someone who would be compatible to me needs to be the same - active and youthful. I just dont want to be dating a man who could be mistaken for my son or a man who could be mistaken for my father. That would be just a tad too creepy for me. | |

it appears to be acceptable for women to date significantly younger men these days and but unacceptable for men to do the same things
I have to agree. Of course, not all women are seeking younger men, nor are all men looking for much younger women. You can never be sure who will capture your heart. What's acceptable to society changes over time, and there will always be those who follow. Others prefer to do what is right for them, regardless of what others think. | |

Posted: 12/18/2006 10:11:38 AM | | I find dating younger men doesn't work for me...maybe I'm too mature for my age. I usually date older, but NOT old enough to be my dad, ie. a 15 year max. | |

Posted: 12/18/2006 10:43:44 AM | | When i was 46 i dated a guy who was 21 for 3 years.The only thing that broke up the relationship was the fact that he couldn,t tell his family cos he said they wouldn,t approve.We both walked away heartbroken.Ayear down the line we are back in contact and he says he has had trouble trying to move on.We still care deeply for each other but he knows it can go nowhere so we just talk from time to time. Sometimes the age gap can be more of a problem for other people than it is for the 2 concerned.All i know is, it was the most caring, loving relationship i ever had. | |

Posted: 12/18/2006 10:52:53 AM | Thanks to porn.. the MILF and older women phenomenom is better than ever!...
i personally usually think there is a reason someone cant get someone their old age.(Older person.)
and its quite the kick for the younger person... But really... besides age.. is there any real diiference. ive known 60yr olds to be just as immature as one would expect from a 19yr olds.
You get the picture. | |

Posted: 12/18/2006 11:01:19 AM | Hi
You know what ? I experiece the same. It all depends on how you look after yourself and how broad an outlook you have. I married a handsome fit guy difference in age was 16 years. He was madly jealous and possessive which you'd have thought would be the other way around. As the years went on he turned into a pipe and slippers guy whilst I exercised more ate healthily .Therefore because of the jealousy etc : One day I up and left him. | |

Posted: 12/18/2006 1:02:42 PM | This is only my opinion....
Whenever I read a woman's profile and I see her setting the age restrictions as looking for a man more or less older ...
example : she's 35 and looking for a guy 35 to 45
Then I think that she is more serious, more mature and less likely to be just playing around looking for just superficial stuff. | |

Posted: 12/18/2006 1:28:52 PM | I am 34 and am in a friend/almost relationship with a man of 46, I never dated anyone more than 4 years older than me and I never thought I could be interested in someone more than 10 years older, but upon meeting this person, we quickly became best friends and have so much in common. We can't stop talking, and we enjoy most all of the same things....
I have not gone full blown dating him or to girlfriend/boyfriend status, only because, I am not sure if I could commit for the long term with the age difference. This is all new to me...I think what if I start this relationship and he dies or something, or what if I start it and later decide I want someone a little younger? But, everyone who sees us together, thinks we are married and constantly tells us how great we look as a couple....blah blah blah And it doesn't help that he looks much older than he is.....
I am taking it slow one day at a time and weighing my thoughts carefully.. I couldn't bare to hurt him, cause I do love him..... Some days I see us together, and some days I worry if I could be happy in the relationship for the long haul....
But, I do not any longer see age gap as a problem, because the maturity level is awesome and older men sure know how to treat a woman!!! That is the part I am addicted to and I think I am forever spoiled to the older men now.....
any advice? | |

Posted: 12/18/2006 2:07:59 PM | I generally try to stay between 37 and 47..... But that is not written in stone. The first guy I dated after my divorce was 52 (I'm 40) and we had a wonderful time together, were on the same page so to speak. I have also dated a 37 year old that the more I was around him the younger he got. Age is a number to me. It's the maturity that goes along with it that is what captures my attention.
Now, boy toys..... that's a whole different ballgame

Posted: 12/18/2006 3:52:34 PM | | age is just a number..should not be based on how old. sometimes though it is hard with such a big age difference if you have nothing in common. i have been there and done that with a guy who was 10 years older then me. depends on the people. | |

Posted: 12/18/2006 5:46:29 PM | Age gap ,
for people that know me here , yeah I got my mojo back ... big time.
MMM my family is into robbing the cradle , hahahaha, my dad married my mom, she was 20 , he was 39, she chased him, had the 8 kids and she wanted more. My grandfather died at 100 , his 30 year old girlfriend really cried for him and wanted nothing matieral wise from his death, I say eeeewww, mmmm grandpa had some real mojo and she was pretty and hooked on him, he was not a decrepoid dude in a wheel chair , they went dancing every weekend.
my uncle at 69 got chased by a 22 year old college girl , they got 3 kids , when they get out of college he will be like 90, ewwww I say again but he is in Irak training troops, strong , young looking dude.
I am almost 30 , very young women want me to be their guy, one 19 year old pressures me everyday as I take her to college another same age fights with her and says I will be hers , another 20 is my best friend and says she loves me, another 21 is my ex , I broke up with her because of her flaky drama, another 22 tells me to be her guy every time she is drunk and wants to drag me to the "room ". hahaha
Some older women like in their 40's I do date and try listen to their interest in me, it makes me nervous though if their 20 daughters are cute , I cannot be their dad one day , I even had one try to put mom aside to go out with me. unless the 40 year old has babies , I will consider .
I got my mojo back , mmm maybe it is because they know I am celibate and it is a challenge ? Naw , I think I am that cool and fun .
Age is a number , a relationship is a relationship , what ever rocks your world , who cares what others think , I don't . I am still free , I have my choice , younger or older , still waiting , it is great to be a great guy .

Posted: 12/18/2006 6:26:18 PM | | I am willing to push the envelope here for the sake of science and date any man half my age. In fact; I'll even pick up the check at the arcade for a head to head on the DDR machine. Will there be any sweet, sweet lovin goin on??? Yes! As long as that loverboy doesn't have eczema, kleptomania, or a crippling fear of breasts, it will be love of epic proportions!!! Think of it like you're a burgeoning, (but hot) young time traveller; only you don't want your atoms scattered recklessly in a time warp to gather love knowledge from across the generations. You can easily accomplish this by dating me! Only one rule: Must love Madonna! | |

Posted: 12/18/2006 7:57:43 PM | Oh I don't think age is an issue as long as it's a legal age. It depends on the individual. Most of the men in my life have been younger but have looked older, lol. I like energy and vitality myself. It just depends on the person. Don't force a number just enjoy. ;-) | |

I was thinking ....if it were the other way around ...same circumstances but he was 46 she was 21 ......would it still be seen by people as a sad but romantic story and sympathy grabber?
...be honest now .
...I'm not saying it would or wouldn't... I just kind of think it wouldn't ..especially from women's perspective. | |

Posted: 12/19/2006 7:58:26 PM | | age should not be a factor unless its 10 or more years differece love is love can you really help who you fall in love with or who falls in love with you thats why its called falling in love cause you can't help it, if your gonna fall your gonna fall lol | |

Posted: 12/19/2006 11:52:25 PM | cedar77 my comment was not put here to be a sympathy grabber.I just get on with my life and dont whinge about things.As for if it was an older guy with a younger woman it shouldn,t make any diffrence.Love is love whether its 2 people who are only a year or so older than each other or if there is an age gap of many years. | |

Posted: 12/20/2006 12:04:54 AM | Age gaps mean little to begin with--they do later on when more serious questions come up.
I broke off with my last gf because there was a 13 year difference b/n us. I was looking at a house to buy, she was upstairs with the real-estate agent while I was in the basement sizeing up work to be done. It hit me then, as I heard her talking about re-modeling the kitchen (extensively) that I would be 50 and she'd be mid 30's. 60 mid 40's. 70 mid 50's.
Just didn't seem fair to burden her with that kind of future.
I dumped her badly (for me). Just stone-colded her with the facts while she cried. I drew on my past and remained a piece of steel.
I never called her or returned her phone messages, emails, etc. I cried myself to sleep for 46 nights. Had to be done.
After that... I don't mind having a good time with someone significantly out of my age range, but that's all it can be for me. Nothing that gets too deep.
