Older man with Younger Woman (Ladies Only)

xuashe

My SO is almost five years older than me. We're happy

My gentleman friend is 42, I'm 27. Sometimes he's "younger" than me .

Age... just a number. For sure.

I think it depends on the age gap. Rarely does a 20 year old have anything in common with a 30 year old but a 30 and 40 year old would be at about the same spot in life. I dated older men in my early 20's and to be honest it was probably a control thing for them. I was naive. Here they were worried about stocks and bonds and I complained about the bars closing too early or not having an outfit to go to an amusement park in.

Now I'm 29, I prefer older guys. Seems like all the guys my age just don't have their crap together and they'd rather be with younger girls because they don't care about stability yet.

A woman told me the other day that there are women who would date an older man ( 10-15 years older) and even have a family. My opinion is she was wrong but I want to ask the ladies on MFP. What are your thoughts?

Why were you talking about me like that?

Tomorrow we celebrate our 25th wedding by renewing our vows. When we got married I was 23 he was 39.....now 48 and 65.....its wonderful!

Im_NotPerfect

My husband and I are 8 (currently 9 until my birthday next month) years apart. I personally wouldn't have it any other way. We have 2 beautiful children and love our life. He's 43 and I'm 34...been together 12 years, married almost 10 (in October).

Ive dated older men, in fact i prefer dating older men

I would and have. I'm in my mid 20's and I find that guys that are my age aren't looking for what I'm looking for ie family life. They are all about having fun and "sowing their wild oats" while older guys have gone through that phase are are more serious about life and what they are looking for is what I'm looking for.

Women over 40

As I grow in age, I value women who are over forty most of all. Here are just a few reasons why:

A woman over forty will never wake you in the middle of the night to ask, “What are you thinking?” She doesn’t care what you think.

If a woman over forty doesn’t want to watch the game, she doesn’t sit around whining about it. She does something she wants to do. And, it’s usually something more interesting.

A woman over forty knows herself well enough to be assured in who she is, what she is, what she wants and from whom. Few women past the age of forty give a hoot what you might think about her or what she’s doing.

Women over forty are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with you at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course, if you deserve it, they won’t hesitate to shoot you, if they think they can get away with it.

Older women are generous with praise, often undeserved. They know what it’s like to be unappreciated.

A woman over forty has the self-assurance to introduce you to her women friends. A younger woman with a man will often ignore even her best friend because she doesn’t trust the guy with other women. Women over forty couldn’t care less if you’re attracted to her friends because she knows her friends won’t betray her.

Women get psychic as they age. You never have to confess your sins to a woman over forty. They always know.

A woman over forty looks good wearing bright red lipstick. This is not true of younger women. Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over forty is far sexier than her younger counterpart.

Older women are forthright and honest. They’ll tell you right off if you are a jerk, if you are acting like one! You don’t ever have to wonder where you stand with her.

Yes, we praise women over forty for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately, it’s not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed hot woman of forty-plus, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of himself with some twenty-two-year-old waitress.

Ladies, I apologize.

For all those men who say, “Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free,” here’s an update for you. Now 80 percent of women are against marriage, why? Because women realize it’s not worth buying an entire pig, just to get a little sausage.

I'm almost 30 and I am nodding in agreement. I feel like I am becoming all of these things. Before when I was younger I use to make excuses for men. Now I am not afraid to call a man a *kitten* to his face when he is being one and some of them can't handle that.

La_Amazona

Last year I was 32 and I dated a 45 year old guy. Total rebound but whatev. I'd never date him now.

He couldn't keep up to me.. I wanted to go out and see the city while he was tired. Boo! It would have never worked out long term but eh.. he treated me like I was the hottest piece ever so I had fun!

Bronx_Montgomery

Obviously Im not a lady but here is my input. Not sure what you think is wrong with that. I have seen so many younger woman date older men and Older woman date younger men. Nothing wrong with it unless they are under 18 of course.

ItsMandeeBitch

I have dated men 16 years or so older than me and wouldn't change it. Age is just a number. My mom's husband is 10 years younger than her haha and they are perfect. People who even ask about this are way closed minded and need to get up with the times lmao.

Wreak_Havoc

Ugh. My dad just married a woman from Thailand who is a year younger than me (she's 31, he's 56.) He's going through the paperwork now to move her here (US) in about six months. I'm really trying to be positive about the whole thing, as he seems happy, but I just can't shake this :grumble: :sick::explode: :sick: :huh: feeling. Am I wrong to find the whole situation unappealing?

No offence, but seems like one of those mail order bride things.................................that s*** ain't right!!!

Can you say "Green Card"? OR as I have heard sooo many times, "Me love you long time". But looking at the positive, I hope I'm wrong.

I love this GET IT girl a woman after my own heart!

morganhccstudent724

I would and I do date men 10-15 years my senior. I plan on having a family...one day.

yoovie

I would - when I was 27 I was dating someone that 38 and we had a blast together.

CoryIda

My son's biological father is 11 years older than I am (I was 17, he was 28).

Historically, I've only been interested in men who are around 7-15 years older than myself.

Why exactly is this wrong???

Okay, at 17, it was a little icky. At 28, though?

What is wrong with preferring someone in their late 30s or early 40s? I'm an adult - a responsible one - so what exactly is the problem?

yoovie

It all depends on the persons involved. You fall in love with a person, not a whole demographic.

A close friend of mine is 30 years younger that her 60-year-old husband, who has grown children. She gets along great with his children, they are VERY happy together and trying to have a baby together.
