Posted: 3/28/2007 5:08:23 PM | He's an adult - let him make his decisions (discuss at length the pros/cons if you feel it must be discussed) - but if he wants you, and you want him - why deny each other! Life is too short - and you only get one of them - so enjoy it in every way it offers itself to you both.
Mind you - I was 19, she was 34. Time of my life. Was never going to last forever, but I would not want to have missed that part of my life for all the amatuer fumblings with girls my own age back then! So I'm incredibly bias! | |

Posted: 3/31/2007 6:51:57 AM | the pics on my profile i was 28,the woman that took the pic was my 48 yr old g/f.....and let me tell you...dating older is alot easier than younger.....usually an older woman or man has stability...so you dont have to deal with alot of drama.my experience was great dated for 2 yrs....still friends to this day just came back from keys snorkeling with her,shes 52 im 32....but when its us i dont think about the age.....i think about how she makes me feel.and we have tossed it around and as tragic as it is she is 20yrs older so its not a reality,so we just enjoy each others company as much as we can as long as we can | |

| 36 year old woman and 21 year old guy? Posted: 3/31/2007 7:26:26 AM | I've dated guys that age. But I never see anything past what it is - an affair of sorts. A person at 21 is in a different mind-frame then someone in their 30's... no matter how mature they are or claim to be. As we age, our experiences and growth change how we think and react to situations. When I remember who I was when I was 21 compared to who I am now, I see 2 different people. Age is not just a number - with time, we grow emotionally and evolve as a person with the things we experience throughout the years. I wouldn't think much of a couple aging 36 and 46, but a 21-year old (especially a guy... no offence boys), is a baby... just outta highschool even.
In the past, I've dated guys that young; but that's as far as it would go. Regardless of even his opinion, I would not take his youth and time to grow away from him... he needs to embrace his youth, its trials and tribulations; not to mention college and career choices... not to mention back-packing Europe!
People need to experience as much of the menu life has to offer before they know what their favorite meal is... otherwise, they'll come to a point where they start wondering what else is out there. | |

Posted: 10/10/2008 11:01:11 AM | As an almost very young looking and acting 61 year old woman, I get a lot of much younger men's attention but the issue here is that we cannot escape the fact that we are older and that the younger man will still be a man who will go looking for greener pastures, sooner or later......so unless you want to babysit or sit in the corner in a rocking chair while he is painting the town red...go for it!!!

| 36 year old woman and 21 year old guy? Posted: 10/11/2008 12:07:33 AM | | You can always try to go slow and see where it leads. I've known older guys who were really immature and players and younger guys who were one woman men , open, loving and giving. It's not the rule and may be the exception. You will know as time goes on. You can always still have kids with him or he can have a family with you and yours. I met a 75 yr. old lady who was married to a man who was 11 yrs. younger than her and he died. She told me they had the greatest love. | |

| 36 year old woman and 21 year old guy? Posted: 11/27/2008 10:54:29 PM | Yes it's "doomed"! A 36 year old woman "banging" a 21 year old? She must really yearn for those old "college" days??? I thought guys in their 20's were "immature" according to women ( I guess it''s different when SEX is involved)
Most of those situations don't last cause when that 21year old sees a nice 18-22 year old walks by (especially if he's in college) it's curtains for the that older woman! NO way I would date a 21 year old no matter how mature she "claims" to be. I just don't see the relation in any form or fashion. I prefer women along my age range for now and a female in her's 40's (hell to the NIIII--ZZZZZ oooooo!) | |

| 36 year old woman and 21 year old guy? Posted: 11/27/2008 11:58:53 PM | | It takes an exceptional 21 year old...I met one...not your typical young guy...he's actually a lot wiser then a lot of older guys I know and sometimes more logical then me...lol...very domesticated and independent...does most of the cooking, cleans the dishes, likes kids...he looks at them in awe more then me...lol. So, in terms of being in different stages in life...once again...he's the exception and probably more ready then most younger guys and even some older guys...lol. So, it is possible but they're the exception. I hope things work out for you :) | |

| 36 year old woman and 21 year old guy? Posted: 11/28/2008 8:00:48 AM | My dad's 41, he dated a 20 year old for about a year ( who I went to school with)....YOUNGER than his own daughter...ME! Hello. I didn't agree and I didn't like her at all! I put up with their relationship....he could have so chosen someone more mature...I had to clean up after her and do all the cooking.
But, I mean, whatever makes my parents happy, I'm happy, as long as their S-O aren't younger than me....or know me!
Then again, if I were to bring a 40 year old man to my father's for supper....my father and uncle would be in jail, they would NOT approved.
So how does it make it ok for him to go with a 20 year old? Double standard much..... | |

| 36 year old woman and 21 year old guy? Posted: 11/30/2008 8:46:56 PM | I know a lot of ppl want to say age is just a number but I have to disagree here. After being married very young and being a young mom I have to say that I changed so much between my early 20's and early 30s. My political views, my religous views, even some moral issues. I was young, impulsive, impatient and had barely any wisdom.
I cannot possibly understand what a 21 year old could do spiritually, intellectually or otherwise (other than maybe physically).
But afterall my daughter is 20 and it just creeps me out to date anyone who is closer to her age than mine. I also see just how different world and life views are between my daughter's friends and my peers.
I wish you the best either way! | |
