Posted: 4/27/2008 12:29:44 PM | I'm not talking Anna Nicole older men.
Maybe 15-20 years older. Can I get some opinions on this?
Women- Have you ever dated anyone 15 + years older than you?
Men- Ever dated anyone 15+ younger?
Mostly I've had a history of dating men no older than 10 years. But recently I've been dating men 10-15 years older than me. I'm having fun but have noticed more than a few differences between the two groups.
:)

Posted: 4/27/2008 12:54:43 PM | Believe,
Yes, both groups are different in many ways! From what they want and have learned from life!
I feel most not all older men do know what they want from life but, also some younger men have gone though so much in life and are all ready ahead of the game!
Everyone is different and you have to hear and see for yourself to know what person no matter the age difference, who is good for you! Walk carefully is all I can say!
Best of luck to ya girl!

Posted: 4/27/2008 4:21:29 PM | | No, but close. My ex is 14 years younger than me. I've dataed women more my age since then and really haven't noticed much of a difference. I think the "you're only as old as you feel" thing is true whether you're a man or a woman. But I agree with Giggles, everyone's different. You really don't know how/if it's going to work until you're in that situation. | |

Posted: 4/27/2008 5:00:42 PM | I have never dated 15+ younger, but I have, 
There were 18 years old. Id never date an 18 year old. They simply just are not ready for anything serious. They think they are, but there not in my opinion | |

Posted: 4/28/2008 5:21:26 PM | | I tend to stick with men within 5 years of my age..I usually date younger then me...I am just not attracted to men 15 my senior or feel we would have the same interests or current goals...JMO | |

Posted: 4/28/2008 5:57:20 PM | I am way too active and too young at heart to date someone older unless that are like me. But you on the other hand, you are very smart for your age (from your post here and elsewhere), so an older man may be right for you.
Look at it this way, it is called dating. After a few dates I think you could answer your own question.
There are men and women older than you that do not act as old as you.
Then there is also the exact opposite.
Just depends on the individual.
You should make sure you are comfortable with the decision you make.
If something just doesn't feel right...it probably isn't. | |

Posted: 4/30/2008 4:39:16 PM | I've found that older men have a certain sense of things. I can't put my finger on it, I've always been more comfortable in the company of those generations older than me than with my peers.
I enjoy doing alot of different things, learning and growing. I'm a very active person and would rather spend the weekend camping and hiking than sitting in the house and staring blank eyed at a tv screen.
I hate to make generalizations but the men that I've dated that are in my agre range (ie 26-32) find sitting mindlessly in front of the PS3 an enjoyable evening. There's nothing wrong with that, sometimes I need it too, just not as much as they seemed to.
I dunno, I just wanted to hear from everyone on their different experiences.

Posted: 4/30/2008 6:19:35 PM | | Everybody's different. But in general if the age difference is more than 15 years the life experiences are so different that you have to work a lot harder to make a relationship work. I have done it. And thats my take on it. At this time in my life I want an intelligent woman thats within 5-6 years of my age. Things just flow so much easier. | |

Posted: 5/11/2008 7:53:42 AM | | Yes, my ex is fifteen yrs, younger than me. It was a great relationship. It did not end because of the age difference. Unless you consider our career paths parted us. I think it depends on the attitude more than age. The man has to be active and full of life, to enjoy the youth and support the drive of a younger partner. We both enjoyed the relationship we had. | |

Posted: 5/14/2008 4:28:34 AM | | My husband was 10 years older , after he passed I dated a few years younger and some just a few years older - you have to always make sure that no matter the age difference you have something other than - the bedroom in common with that person especially wiith you are looking for more than the bedroom - in a longlasting relationship as the two age the bedroom isn't going to be the same - so need to make dam# sure you have more than that in common or you will looking for another person for that seroius long term committed relationship - and that is hard at all of our ages now - imagne 10 or 15 years down the road. Right now I am in a relationship with a great guy 2 years younger but same generation - it is working wonderful- couldnot ask for more. | |

Posted: 5/16/2008 9:57:36 AM | | Most of the ladies i date are at least ten years younger than me. I'm not really sure why, but I do look younger than my years. I like younger ladies because most of them are full of life, more active and giggle more. Please, I am not saying the ladies my age don't do those things, I don't know. I am into "now" things, music, clothes, etc. I like to have fun, but at the same time I am laid back and enjoy watching the rain from a sofa half asleep. Just thought I would throw that in the mix. Thanks | |

Posted: 6/3/2008 7:16:35 AM | I've never dated a women 15 years younger. I've usually tried to stay within about two years difference. But, as we speak, I've been getting to know a girl (who doesn't mind my calling her a girl, who may soon be a grandmother) who is about 4 1/2 years younger. So, as the sentence goes, "Anything is possible!"
Ciao4now,

Posted: 6/3/2008 12:45:49 PM | When I was younger, I dated older men. When I was in my early 20's, my most serious love was in his mid 30's.
Now that I'm old, if I date someone 15 to 20 years older than... he would be a senior citizen and I'm just too perky....
I used to be a member of a date site and a guy in his early 80's pinged me.... hey baby, are you ready for me???
Uhm.... sure.... let me hide your heart pills and let you chase me around the room.... | |

in the case of my ex and I, I was the one that was active and full of life, she was a carrot | |

Posted: 6/19/2008 4:07:09 PM | I've not hit quite those 15-20 year groups, but I date a woman that was 9 years older than me when I was 26. She knew exactly what she wanted in life, and in the bed. Our careers didn't make it last, but neither of us regret any moment together. I recently dated a woman that was 12 years younger than me. It was a blind date type thing, but she was surprised at how I treated her compared to her own age group men. We could talk on end about just about anything and did. She was not new to the dating scene just out of a big college, but she learned that she had been missing out on a few things in her sexual life.
So it can go either way. I think that if you put an age limit on your dates then you are choosing to miss out on opportunities. I wouldn't ask a woman's age even if it weren't rude. | |

Posted: 7/3/2008 5:09:33 AM | | Have dated a man 12 years older. Had a wonderful time . He was giving , respectful, and spoiled me. Younger seem to be more interested in control, ( am the man ) . And as far as love making , deep passionate , meaningful. Not so lustful makes you feel like your just getting laid. | |

Posted: 7/8/2008 2:17:54 PM | Well this thread has been going for a while now but I just want to put my two cents in. I am 55 years old and I know I can can out "party,"out "love," out "think" and out "do" many that are half my age; This I know..this I'm confident in.
That being said, age doesn't really matter. It's what's in your heart...your chemistry that makes it good. Age doesn't make a friend, a lover or a partner - - love and respect does. | |

Posted: 8/16/2008 7:13:35 PM | when i was young, i always dated older men and married one 7 years older when i was 23. we were married for 18 years before he strayed. in the last 8 months i have dated guys ages 23- 48. i am 42. most of the 20 somethings are fun to look at and party with, but i couldn't have a relationship with them because we want different things out of life. i have found my one exception, he's 28, but very mature. i love him like crazy.
the guys that are in their 40's are generally boring to me now, not all, but most. most ppl never guess that im 42 because i act way younger.

Posted: 8/22/2008 8:08:37 AM | | Most of the men I date seem to be 12-20 years older than me. It is a preference. I prefer older men for a multitude of reasons. I have also met younger men who act like they are dying and older men that can keep up so I tend to look at the person. Younger men seem to have a lot of interests that simply bore me. Video games just don't cut it for a hobby in my opinion and I am not interested in watching a 30 something guy become a workaholic to advance his career. | |
