You know, I saw this story and thought this would be something interesting to discuss in this forum. I thought I'd get some intelligent insights and maybe hear a few good reasons why younger women shouldn't date older men. But, all I got were jokes about depends and gold diggers. The story didn't say young women should marry older men and take care of them until they die. Only that they may be better to date. As for gold diggers, do you really think these wealthy men are too stupid to know a gold digger when they see one?

But, no. Not a single reason why it's a bad idea for a woman in her 20s or 30s to date a man in his 40s, 50s or even 60s.



I wouldnt want my 20 something daughter dating a 50 year old man because their life experience would be too far apart and I would feel she would be robbing herself of years he was already able to live. Anything above thirty though,, age goes out the window for me.

One of the problems I had in dating (and later marrying)a sixty year old, is he had lived most of his life and was content just moping around. We couldnt be together physically(he is immigrant and lives in another country) and that was ok with him so long as he could call me his. The problem was, I was thirty three when we met and I waited SEVEN years to have a relationship with him,, he felt I should be willing to wait indefinitely but I disagreed. It didnt matter to him because he had already had the chance to LIVE his thirties, fourties, and fifties doing things he enjoyed with home he enjoyed them AND
he would not have been doing anything different in his life had he not met me,, but it made all the difference to me because I actually planned on LIVING in my thirties.


So, you got involved with a depressed guy you never saw. It had nothing to do with his age. What if he'd been a 60 something that loved opera, biking and nightclubbing? One of the points in the story was that it's easier to see what your getting with an older man. He's more set in his ways and is less likely to change.

"He is going to be this rad forever: Some peeps just lose their lust for life at a certain age, but your dude has still got it! He can not only keep up with your young butt, but he piques your interest. You know for sure that time doesn't slow him down. He's always willing to try new things. He's not going to turn into some couch potato all of a sudden. In another 20 years, he'll still be l-i-v-i-n'."

Every person is different ... There was a 62 year old guy that looked maybe 50 and danced til 4 am at the last Rave I attended ... he's dating a 32 year old

And I've met 35 year olds that seemed 80

You can't really generalize ... it is all personal preference and each circumstance is unique

no, dont listen to him! old guys need to stick to old womens. I really hope a day doesnt come when I have to compete against some old guy for a girl... that would be embarrasing... for him of course. ;)

Didn't read it...but I will say it is all preference. Some younger women like dating older men, some don't...honestly, younger women are the devil and should be held in a cage until they hit the age of 24.

Well, I'm currently dating someone a little bit older than me... Only three years though. He's got a steady job (unlike myself... poor college student to the max haha) and he's mature, unlike some guys my age.

I don't think I would like to date someone 5 + years older than me at the moment... noway He and I know different generational things already, although there is a smaller gap between us age wise. Plus, it would feel weird telling people, "Hey, this 45 year old guy is my boyfriend... isn't he dreamy?!"

If it works for others, great. Not for me, though.

Oh I saw him. We visited back and forth quite a few times. I dont think our issue was because of his age too, I could have found an obsessive, possessive, jealous younger guy and had the same problem. I was just saying that once there was a problem, there was a feeling of '(you have already had your chance) that I think could be present in any may december romance. It doesnt mean it HAS to be present, but the possibility is there on top of all the regular issues couples may have. If I met a George Clooney, or Richard Gere, we would probably hit it off swell,,lol. Age is not the issue so much as maturity and interests.
