Thoughts on dating an older man as a young woman? Age difference of say 15+ years.
|
|

I’ve never personally dated a man that much older, but at one time I knew several that I would have been happy to date under the right circumstances. I think 15 years is probably about as big of a gap as I’d want, though. |

good point. yea after that age, depending on where you both started it can get a bit weird. But if he keeps himself looking fit and young…no problem. |

for a man to date a young lady with an age gap of 15 years, it must be a miracle of love that had overcome their differences For me, nope, I would rather date a younger man !

LOL @peachpurple That made me laugh…a miracle of love. |

@peachpurple Now that I’m pushing 50, I can see certain advantages to dating a younger man! But in terms of companionship and conversation, I’ve always preferred my men to be at least the same age as me, or a bit older. (Hubby is an exception to the rule, being several years younger than me.) If they’re too young, they’re aren’t good at a lot of the things a woman needs from a relationship. It takes time before most young men even become aware of those needs, let alone learn how to fulfill them. |

In the past I’ve dated men that were about 10 years older than me. It just depends on the man’s maturity and interests. I’m happily married to a man that is two years younger than me now. So, I don’t think age should matter. |

I think that if two people love and respect each other than age should not matter. People are more than a number and there are pros and cons in relationships even with those that are close in age. I am not sure if I would have a problem with it personally until the situation arises but if other people want it then it is not my business. |

I agree…as they say…Age is nothing but a number. |

A difference of 7 years between the two is considered ideal. But that is history as no one is following that norm. My sister got married at the age of 25 to a man who was 42. They seemed a happy couple. |

15 Years as an age gap is too big, this is someone you can compare to your dad. first and foremost there are too any disadvantages to this kind of love for one you will always have conflicts on everything because the older person has other preferences to the younger one. it is said that when a younger person dates an older person they tend to start looking older and at the same time they make the guy look much younger so i wouldn’t agree on such a relationship. |

@morgoodie why would you wait to start having trouble in your relationship when you can avoid it at all cost? like you said @oksummer age is just a number but the one thing people don’t realize is that age also has issues and when the issues come it breaks down a lot of things and that is when you hear people divorced or separated because of some kind of misunderstanding that could have been worked on. |

@peachpurple, hehehehe, I like your idea to better have a date with a younger man than older.LOL. |
