Can a 19 year old guy be with 38 years old woman

I could never date a boy that is 19. I would still be calling him baby.1

Well, men have their sexual peak around 18...for women, it is around 40. It makes sense to me--men in their 40s and 50s generally cannot keep up. At all.
19 is a bit young, but age gaps are far less important than the personalities of the people involved.1 -
I can relate to the OP in preferring women that were older than me. When I was 16 I had a ...well, I wouldn't call it a relationship, but it was more than just a hookup with a lady who was 16yrs older. Even today at 48, I smile when I think back to that positive experience with her.
I feel that if it makes the 2 of you happy, then age shouldn't be an issue.
One thing to consider... A good friend of mine married a girl who was 20 when he was 43. They have 2 wonderful children and have been together 22 years. Now though, he is 65 and has ED. His 42 yr old wife is incredibly frustrated by his failing body due to hereditary health issues.
He is so very distraught as he loves his family. The age difference wasn't a big deal at 20 and 43, but now at 42 and 65, their ages are a much bigger deal.2 -

i've gone so far as telling mine i'm trading her for 3x 20yo when she terns 60... she slept on the couch for 3 nights, which is weird because we have a "guest suite" and most of the kids have moved out of their rooms... for a total of 5 empty beds, yet she chose the couch, some people.3 -
I'm pretty sure the OP wasn't quite expecting some of the responses. Many people have also responded while including their own assumptions into the nature of the guy.
In the United States, we see it perfectly acceptable for a considerably older man to date a younger woman (age difference of 5+ years). While the reverse has a bit of a stigma (but diminishing from my perspective). In France, they have no such stigma about an older woman being with a younger man. I The nature of the relationship is entirely up to them. have no preference either way. My wife is 5 years older than me.
Our assumption is that it's physical only for him and probably physical for her, or maybe filling an emotional void, as stated by other posters. There is the potential for it to be lasting IF he is as or more mature than she is. For example, he's smart, ambitious, and already has his life goals set and is disciplined and actively working towards them. A vast majority of their beliefs, values, and interests must be compatible. Although possible, it's improbable to be anything lasting.
If I were single tomorrow, I most certainly would NOT be even interested in anyone quite so young. My head is in such a different place compared to then. It's difficult to explain the experience of those years to someone who has no foundation to even begin to comprehend it.6 -
Everyone likes different qualities in partners. I tend to go for guys about 10-15 years older than I am. Do whatever floats your boat.3

Meh. Total BS.
Men get to the 40's and 50's and look to younger women for exactly the same reasons women look to younger men. It isn't about energy, but the lack of excitement with who they are with and trying to recapture some part of their fleeting youth.

Weird, some guy just said the same thing as this post.0

No do not date anyone please1

Of course. 19 goes into 38 twice.4

eugh, not for me. i've got a son in his 20's; couldn't possibly.
it's working great for a 30's friend of mine though. his wife is about 18 years older than him and they seem really happy. but no not nope never for me. it's got nothing to do with their maturity level individually. having a kid of my own has perma-mommed me towards anyone more than a couple years younger than me.
tl;dr: if i'm old enough to be your mother, then i'm going to feel like your mother, whoever you are. then it's all way too icky for me.

Nope. I'm 38 and couldn't imagine being with someone much younger than 30-35. But I guess it has to do with maturity level too..
My husband is 15 years older, so I suppose it's a bit ironic, but in my experience, men do mature more slowly than women... (I know, going to get flamed for that one, lol).1 -
I mean.... before I met my 2nd husband and I was out a lot
I was in my late 30s and probably ended up with a few youngens. Those were the days.
(Not really. My best days are now, with my super wonderful husband. Who actually is 10 years younger.
) 1 -

Yup.2 -
I have a 24 year old son so no interest in younger guys I prefer older men.1
-
I don't think there is anything wrong with it IF there is a physical attraction from both sides, im 28 and personally I prefer older men and have never been with younger0
-
Maybe it's just me, but you referring to yourself as a "young boy" squicks me out beyond belief.2

Ok, pop quiz. How many insightful conversations did you have with the young ones? Sheesh, I couldn't deal with talking to them WHEN I was that age.
