what to do with a 47 year old man?
Posted: 3/6/2006 8:12:40 PM
I didn't think of this before - but the happiest, most successful couple I
know presently is a man over 50 and a woman of about 36 - they are a
beautiful, delightful couple, and a wonderful influence on anyone who is
around them !
I would tell you their exact ages, but it was a while ago they told me
and frankly I would be embarassed to ask them again for this - but they
are 16 or 17 years apart, and he is very young looking to me, I was quite
shocked when he told me hes was more than a decade older than I
thought he was.....so the idea is not only possible, but can work very well !

Those 2 have been together now for like 7 years.

Best Wishes,

mark*

Well i was with someone twenty years older then me for a while and really I dont regret it at all. the age didnt mean anything and it really depends on how you feel for the guy.

Age is just a number...

My age would seem old to some, but my body is young, young, young...

My last two relationships they were 17 years younger...and 16 years younger...and both lasted more than 4 years...

I guess every man's dream is to be with a younger woman...but in my case...the women I dated that were my age....couldn't keep up with me...and I don't just mean sexually...I love the outdoors...love to be active all the time....I also love to sit on the couch watching a nice movie....while cuddling....

...not having my mate beside me....knitting....


where the old guy gets outa bed and his ass is saggin. lmao


lucky for me....mine is not sagging yet...LOL's


...OH...and zgirl...don't worry about the sex part....you just might be surprised...my ex gf's said I was sexually charged like a 20 year old....lucky for me I guess....but it sure was great while it lasted...and...it wasn't the sex part that was the demise in either case...

I'm 47 and i'm in pretty good health and still have as much energy as when i was a kid. I don't see it being a problem unless he has health issues...so go for it

I am concerned about sex and how i will feel about that...if it will be like havinging sex with someone closer to my age.


Speaking as one who's in his age group rather than yours, I can tell you that at 47, sex isn't any different than at 27...Either one enjoys it and is good at it, and is concerned with giving their partner pleasure - or they're not. Generally if one is selfish when young, they'll stay that way - unless they learn that a partner isn't going to stay around simply so that the other person enjoys them self and make an effort to think of the other person also.

Age is only a number; it's the person that matters, not their age. And while sex is an important part of a relationship, it should be discussed prior to engaging in it or misunderstandings can happen. Just as in any other are of a relationship, expectations are there; not talking about them can cause issues to arise that could have been prevented if they'd been discussed previously.

Think about why it is you would be willing to go out with him. Is it his looks, personality, money?

I haven't read one post that mentions the "connection". Age?? Yes a number............but then sex?? Just an activity??

Isn't it also referred to as "lovemaking"? Is it rated?? Or is it a deep physical, spiritual connection that cannot be measured in time, age, experience??

Can anyone enlighten me, without the gross immature references??

If he doesnt get it the first time dont waste your time. If he does then you might have fun for a while. If he tells you he is loaded and has lots of money be sure he lets you spend it otherwise tell him to kick rocks. You can almost bet there are others as your self if he brags about his wallet. Put him to the test and be sure to use a condom. What if you change your mind? (WE ALL DO) NO HARD FEELINGS YOU OLD GUYS But be real.

I'm 46 and in good shape, but I wouldn't spend my money on a fat 30 year old chick who describes herself as athletic.

and that's being "for real"

Zgirl,
As I will be 47 in a few months may I suggest.....

Seriously. Since you are in your thirties your ages shouldn't come into the picture. It appears that the age issue is troubling you. Talk it over with the guy. You may also want to talk it over with you mother.

Good Luck

Since your asking, you obviously have a valid concern. Ask yourself its source (What others will think, would it bother you, will you have anything in common, etc.)and go from there.
As someone who's had a wife 14 years older (10 year relationship), and 14 years younger (4 year relationship) for me love isn't based on someone's birth year. You really gotta do what right for you though, screw what others think.
Take care,

I haven't read one post that mentions the "connection".

See my posts, Msg 14 and 16. You haven't read the thread.

@tracy: you be real. if you state that you discard men who don't give you what you want from sex on the first try, what are you saying about yourself? that you don't know how to communicate your needs. tracy, have you ever been patient with any of your lovers, even those guys close to your age? personally i've been patient when the sex could have been better, and therefore received RIDICULOUS sex because I opened my mouth and provided some constructive feedback.

making sure that a man spends lots of money on you is another issue entirely.

I don't know what you might do with an older man all I can tell you is that my father and mother's age difference was 20+ years apart. They were very much in love and stayed married for 19 years, untill my father passed away at the ripe old age of 63. My mother lived an other 23 berfoe she left this world. So I guess it is all in how you look at it. Love no's age, color, cread or boundary. I hope what I said helps a little.

I dated a woman - (daughter of a friend) 20 years my junior.

We were great together intimately and otherwise. We had great fun filled times.

There is simply nothing wrong with it.

Yes, there is/might be some 'social stigma', but that is their problem. You two enjoy each other - go for it.

Honey, my advice to you is to BE ALL YOU CAN BE. Men this age are going through a middle life crisis and needs someone younger to keep them from facing reality. You have the power honey so I hope you do the smart thing..stay with guys your own age..it's easier to hang with people that your comfortable with...sounds like your a bit uncomfortable with it..trust your instincts and dont let go of your dreams..good luck to you honeyD

If you have not met him, you don't have a clue what he is like and he does not have a clue what you are like. You guys are having a fantasy.

It is interesting how these older guys take a second soul mate without even considering that they have take the young girl from someone her age. you should stay with your hag wives and stop double-dipping.

I would meet him in person and you will know. There is alot of assumption and maybe fantasy involved before meeting someone. But, once you meet in person you know if it is real. Follow your heart.

I've dated mostly older men. The most recent, 10 years my senior, is more mature and easier to talk to than most of the guys I've dated. He's upbeat and easy to be with. I guess it all depends on the person. Keep an open mind and throw all misconceptions out the window. As far as worrying what other people think, stop! If you're happy and share the same interests and principles, go for it.

I don't think there is anything wrong with that age factor.
I myself am willing to date men up to the age of 48-50. They are more settled and much nicer I find.

as far as i can tell...yes i really like him. He has a great personality. I haven't met him in person yet, but we have been talking and been friends for 4 months. He is crazy about me so far. I don't really care what others think about the age difference. He doesn't look his age at all. I will get to meet up with him on the 24th of this month.


You haven't met him yet?? Why are you worried about it in advance??? Yes, both of you are attracted to each other online or on the phone BUT when you will finally meet him in person, you might NOT have the same chemistry. Online chemistry is not the same as offline chemistry. Too many people, IMHO, get their hopes up too high before the live meeting.

Meet him on the planned date and see how it goes............... and tell us all about it too.

Hmmm... that sounds familiar... The way I look at it is: When someone else lives MY life, then I'll care what they think. Far as I know, I'm the only one living my life. I say... be happy, IF he makes you happy.
