| Older Men and Younger Women?
Posted: 7/20/2005 9:30:27 AM | | Whats the feeling on Older men dating or even marrying younger women? I mean whats an appropriate age range? In years gone by many men in history have married women in their late or early twenties when they were at leat 50 or even many years older than 50? Is there , or can there be a connection between a 28 year old woman and a 50+ year old man, that is lasting? | |

Posted: 7/20/2005 9:36:21 AM | | It happens mostly if he is a movie star and a millionaire. Or at least that's the only time I ever hear of it in the US. They say it happens more in other countries, but thay also say it wouldn't happen if the women had their say. I look back at how I was at 28 and expect that given the choice between me now and then, a woman that age would choose the younger version. It's a fact men remain attracted to younger womena nd maybe want to start a family, so it only makes sense to think that way. But from the younger woman's point of view, what could an older man provide, and what would she be missing out on? It's not a very attractive proposition from her side. That is why it is so rare. When it works out, cool, but it would be the exception to the rule. | |

Posted: 7/20/2005 9:54:24 AM | | i think that older men like myself want to date women more their own age so that they can be assured that they won't be a parent anymore. You have to hope the workings are disabled or non existent | |

Posted: 7/20/2005 9:58:14 AM | My opinion on this is it depends on the two involved. Personally, I am 46 and he is 57. We get along great, but I am assuming we are older than what the thread is asking. At 18 I married a man that was 38. That marriage lasted 6 months.....had something to do with settling down and havin kids....OMG...at 18? Obviously, it didn't work for me.
tata for now.... | |

Posted: 7/20/2005 9:59:41 AM | Lucky for us "older" women, this question also applies to us now.
I, myself, would go younger before I went older. I have met a few older men and they seem to be worn out...now why they would want to be with someone whose kids are finally all grown up and who wants to get out there and do things when all they want is to sit on their butts and watch TV is beyond me. I want to do things now that I could not do as a single parent. Like...dance...
So - if you find someone younger who is right for you - go for it.

OT; Yes, but the likelyhood is more outside of the USA. European women and fromother countries revere maturity and masculinity. Here it is all 'Dig Me' 'Where's My Hunk?' and, of course, the usual disappointment that goes with thinking.... "I got what ask for but thats not what I wanted!" lol. | |

Posted: 7/20/2005 10:07:28 AM | | it would be nice to find a woman who was in her 40's or 50's that wanted to enjoy life and not have to worry about child rearing...i dated a woman who told me she had a 14 and 18 year olds...she forgot to mention the 8 month old that was an opps i forgot to use the condom that night kinda child. I would have been over 70 when that child leaves the house....way to much golf to play for me and hopefully the next time i see a baby its a grandchild | |

Posted: 7/20/2005 10:11:28 AM | | It depends on the age spread. I was seeing someone 53 - I'm 48. I can see him dating a 40 year old. But when he told me about the 26 year old he was seeing last summer that was a total turn off of a possible relationship for me. In my mind he would be comparing me to someone almost 1/2 my age - and I know that I just don't compare and never could. | |

You DON'T have to compare to her cuz she don't compare to YOU! I will not ever worry about who he has seen in the past...cuz it is NOW that means everything. And I am hoping my man will not worry about who I have seen in the past either.

European women and fromother countries revere maturity and masculinity.
Russian Mail-order brides are not indicative of the general attitude of European women.
Having been someone who grew up in both the Netherlands and France, I can say that I've yet to encounter any significant regional cohort consisting of younger women who revere the type of maturity you are selling. Masculinity yes, but again, their definition of masculinity usually neglects the withered and white-haired and is more in line with "young, virile and athletic".
If you're 48, you need to get out of the sun my friend, you're starting to look a bit desiccated. | |

Posted: 7/20/2005 10:23:48 AM | my son's father is 17 years older than me. the year i was born he had already had his first child. anyways, when i met him, we were friends first for a long time and he became the love of my life. as time went on, he started acting like a father towards me and became very controlling. then violent. he hasn't seen his son in over 8 years....his choice. very sad, but it's a good thing because he was very rough with my son.
ot i think that two people who are years apart can be in love as long as they are each well rounded individuals. | |

Posted: 7/20/2005 11:08:09 AM | | I see nothing wrong with an older man dating or marrying a younger woman if that's what the two want to do. I've been either married to or dating a younger woman for the past thirty years. Sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn't but that can be the same regardless what the age difference is. I do find that too many people like to stick their two cents worth in when they know your dating a younger woman or an older man. IF people would leave the couple's alone to enjoy their lives together there would be far less problems. I've had woman as young as twenty one that wanted to date me and as old as seventy-six. Were here for a short time so make the best of it and if you want to date someone then do it and don't worry about the age difference if there is one. IF other people give you static for it then that is their problem not yours. | |

Posted: 7/20/2005 12:33:18 PM | | It all depends on what you mean by "younger." I happen to be "older" that just about every woman here. Basically, it's the attitude, not the age, that counts with me. And, let's face it, most of the younger gals do not yet have enough of life's experience to have developed a knowledge-base for a sincere and mature attitude. Which means, I enjoy being with women closer to my age group. Sure, there are exceptions to this. Just not many. | |

Hey Bare,
Maybe its something in the water in this area!
The party I was talking about is also a local - probably one of the better known bachelors in the area. Ohyeah, and I'm sure it doesn't hinder his hunting that he lets people know that he ain't hurtin' financially.

Posted: 7/20/2005 12:44:31 PM | | Of course its possible for young and older people to have connections. Age has very little to do with intelligence, hobbies, maturity and personality. Granted of course that age will contribute often to maturing and refining a personality but I'm sure many women will tell you just cause a man is 40 doesn't mean he is mature or smart. And I'm sure many men will tell you that just cause a women is 40 doesn't mean she cant still act and feel young. So yeh its probably less uncommon for an older person to have a strong connection with a younger person, but its possible like everything else on this planet. | |
