and can you define "decent looking" ?
Sure.
Physically fit...no great gut hanging out over their belt and not emaciated looking like an aids victim either. Teeth in good repair and not yellow, and their appearance clean and tidy.
I believe who_the_fox is a little bitter
Isn't it fascinating that men can post for 4 pages about how women their own age are old bags and that of course men should be chasing/marrying young things and if the young things aren't amenable then they are feminist witches, but the minute I ask if a woman married to a much younger man would be acceptable I get called bitter. | |

Posted: 7/2/2006 7:14:45 PM | actually what you said was
"I bet that you would not be nearly so thrilled with a 49yo woman who was married to a 27 yo man. Funny how it is only acceptable if it is a man with a younger woman"
and I disagreed. | |

I am aware of what I said....and I do not see anything in my statement that should have resulted in you making the statement
I believe who_the_fox is a little bitter
Overall, the statements from men in these Forums have been decidely in favour of men dating younger women and very much opposed to women dating much younger men. I am not "bitter" I am merely exasperated at the double standard. | |

does the relationship compliment each other. By the way........your a good looking woman.
But your too young. | |

Posted: 7/3/2006 8:43:23 AM | Who the fox---I agree with you. There is NOTHING wrong with an "older" woman and a younger man being in a relationship or getting married for that matter. I have personally seen this happen and they are still married after 18 years! Go Women AND Men!

Posted: 7/3/2006 8:55:12 AM | My oldest son who is 37 years old has been with the same gal for 13 years. She is 59 years old. They are as happy together as any newly weds. I was married for 24 years untill my wife died of cancer. She was 8 years older than me. ON THE OTHER HAND.....I dated a 28 year old hard body chick when I was 50. The sex was FANTASTIC but it was like screwing my daughter. She`s 22 years younger than me and we didnt have squat in common except for the sex. She eventually found a fellow her own age and I was left with a dozzen rubbers. Anyone up for a water ballon fight? | |

Posted: 7/7/2006 11:39:38 AM | Their is someone for everyone, being only attractive when you are young this is media crap we are feed, that says you have to be a certain age to be attractive. I remember when i was sixteen and i once thought a 30 year old man was attractive, but not a forty year old man, but as i get older i have seen some older men who are attractive looking.but it would be no more than ten years older than myself.
I certainly would not go out with anyone 20 years older than myself i have daughters in my twenties. no one that age would be interested in someone my age, unless they were a bit strange. men who are twenty years younger than me seem to babyfaced, i like a few wrinkles and character that comes in a persons face. I am a portrait artist and i love to paint faces some people are so beautiful even in their 90 because their faces capture their character. My mother married someone 20 years younger but it did not last and my mother was immature for her age. Accepting your age is a sign of maturity.
When i was young i was quite pretty and i had enought eyes who wanted to go out with me so i did not have to go out with older insecure men, thats all they are. who are immature for their age. | |

Posted: 7/20/2006 10:36:46 PM | | You're absolutely right...Other than the sex, younger women don't have much in common with older men. And, in all honesty, younger women date older men for all the wrong reasons. My mother warned me against it cuz she's done it, and I've done it and now regret it. It will not work!!! | |

Let's make a deal, girls. We won't tell you who to date, and you won't tell us who to date. | |

Being that you are so insightful then you must have also noticed how many older men rag on older women. Perhaps we are sick and tired of being told that because we may have a wrinkle or two (that affects us all, thank you) that we aren't good enough anymore. How would you feel if someone were to tell you constantly that you don't measure up, especially by people in your own friggin age group?
Alot of these women are coming back out into the dating world, many of them, myself included, are coming out of long bad marriages. I was with a much older man for many years and to put it mildly the man was a cabron and a half, please don't tell me that experience was going to be my last chance at love. How depressing is that.
Many of us don't want to date younger men or much older men. Sorry but the thought of being with a man my father's age at my age, makes me queasy. So who are we suppose to date?? | |

Posted: 7/21/2006 12:44:19 PM | In the first place, I seriously doubt there are out there men who purposely go to older women and tell them "you don't measure up". What exist are older women who feel affronted when they see men going for younger women.
Who are you suppose to date, since being with a much older man makes you queasy?
Well, if you are queasy about them, why shouldn't others be queasy about you? Perhaps those much older men are the ones you are supposed to date? Why should you be able to choose while denying us men the same right? | |

Posted: 7/21/2006 1:01:01 PM | | For sure it can work. The best relationship Ive ever had was an age difference of 11 years. It just depends on the 2 individuals. Age doesnt make people right or wrong for each other as long as both are mature adults. | |

Posted: 7/21/2006 1:26:23 PM | it can work it depends on both personality , I know alot of people because I am a social person , place me in a party and all I will know and they will know me , not necesarly like me though .
Yes I know a guy who is 22 and his girlfriend is 38 she looks very young and is a blast , she is just like him .
I have dated much older women around their 40's and yes flame me all you want , most of them cannot and will not go to the places I go , concerts , dancing hip hop , going to U2 concerts, surfing , or some punk coffee bar , they say they are too old for that .
in my experience yes alot of them mellow out and do not like the noise and the action young guys like , yes I generalize from my vast experience , heheheh, yes some are not like thta but it is rare , most all of them have me turn my radio down and ask me to put something more mellow .
I only met 3 or 4 women in all my life around 40 years old that has not gotten physically how can you say ... fit or stayed that way generally that is the case , they cut thier har generally and act like a mom to me , lowers my radio and tells me to grow up when I am acting funny .
Heck I am an engineer and respected at work , most of them do not have a great career , at least the ones I have met . The older they are the more they would like expensive classy places to go instead of the surfer bars that I know that have great food .
Gimme an 18 year old any time , even women my age have generally mellowed out or have begin to mummyfy .
sorry if that sounds mean but heck gimme any women that likes to have fun like I do , 18 or any age but we all know what happens to women when they age , my sisters are much older , they are in the same mummification stage .
I know not all are like that but look at old people's home , I do not see any raves going on there .

Have women actually told you you shouldn't date younger women or were you referring to the forums? Because I'm pretty sure she was talking about the men here in the forums.
most of them do not have a great career
Gimme an 18 year old anytime
Yes, I'm sure most eighteen year olds have great careers

Most men over 40 are pretty unintersting to a fit, vibrant woman of ANY age....but I won't categorically refuse to date any man over 39 based on a generalization. | |

Both of them. About the forums, if you do a search about this subject, you will see that men who date younger women are called immature, perverts and pedophiles. And I've been also received the famous "you should date a real woman (from an overweight, divorced woman in her late thirties), not a bimbette" lecture.
It's simple: I won't criticize your dating choices, if you don't criticize mine. | |

When I read assinine comments like that, I can only respond with the fact that many men over 40 who are still in marriages make that comment seem as dumb as can be.... especially those who do have fit, vibrant wives.
Some women are doing other men a favour by remaining single....
That comment can only be interpretted in such a way that fit, vibrant women only seek physical relationships.... I'll be sure to ignore your wisdom.... now get back to the gym.

Posted: 7/22/2006 12:19:13 PM | Once again, a man leaps to the forefront and proves, without a doubt, that the men of Forums are misogynsts and are only willing to accept the male point of view.
Odd how as soon as a woman has something to say about the FACT THAT MEN AGE just like women, they feel the need to come out of their cave with clubs raised and spout insults.
If a man can discard all women of a certain age because of their lack of youth, it seems only fair that women could do the same with men.

Posted: 7/22/2006 1:11:17 PM | Lets see. We only accept the male point of view, so we are misogynists. Women only accept the female point of view. Does it make them misandrist?
And if it is so, who would want to date a misandrist, never mind her age?
Men and women age, that's true. Does it mean we have the duty to date older people? NO.
If somebody avoids dating people over a certain age, they (men and women alike) are well within their rights, and nobody can say otherwise. | |
