Do you think ..a younger man can date an older woman...A relative of mine..

Why should it matter? He's a grown man and she's a grown woman. So what if she is the older one? Age shouldn't matter between two consenting adults. Personally I prefer the man to be older, but that is my choice. :)

Age does not matter much once you're past 20 something. Sure you'll change while growing older, but I do not think age is a huge factor in the sucess rate of relationships. If they love eachother and treat eachother with respect: go for it

Sure, an Older woman/younger man can work. I know people in that situation. It depends on how they interact/play off eachother. Also how mature the people are. Now, age is just a number, unless it's a minor and an adult.

Hello, thats ok like my brother 35 then he married with 47 woman. if they love each other why not :)if your relative interested in older woman and they'll date,thats fine no worries. yes i agree with you men mature than women,love most important. compatibility next, not only in age differences. take care :D

I dont think age matters in a relationship. They are both mature adults, so why not? There is the opposite age difference between me and my hubby, I am 31 and he is 44. As long as the couple in question are happy. :-)

If Aston Kutcher and Demi Moore can do it so can he. LoL But seriously, once you are an adult age shouldn't be that much of a factor in starting a relationship. My sweetie is 6 years older than me and we get along great. My exhusband was 9 years older than me and he acted like more of a child then my 2 yr old did when I married him. If they get along well and enjoy each others company then age should be nothing more than a number.

I do think a younger man can date an older woman. We had two couples at the grocery store that I worked at, and they were fine with it. You would never know that there was that much of a difference. If they get along and have alot in common, who cares. There are lots of worse things.

I think once both people are grown adults, the age doesn't matter. They find common interests anyhow. I think it's great they've found each other.

Lets face it...anything goes these days. It's been accepted for a long time that the male is the older person in a "normal" relationship but times they are a changin'. These days its common to see a much older male with a much younger female and quite often there is the older female with the younger male. It depends on the individuals. I personally know a chap in his 30's whose wife is 67. Her mother lives with them too. She is 80 something. If two people are compatable physically, intellectually and spiritually then it should work. Who's to say these days what's right and what's wrong. In my own case, I had a run of partners, husbands and lovers who were alll 8 years younger than me. I became very bored with all of them. The experiences told me I need an older guy.

As long as they are both 18 and above, it shouldn't matter.Love is love.why should it matter the age of the people.What really matters is what they feel for each other. It doesn't matter what others think in the long run.Have you ever seen the movie All That Heaven Allows? It was made in the 50's but it is about a older widow who falls for a younger man.It stands up today.Rent it. It is a great film.

In my opinion, age difference matters only to the couple. The general perception is that many prefer women who are few years younger so that their maturity level more or less matches. However, there could be exceptions. The younger man may have gone through much more and acquired the level of maturity equivalent to the older woman. Hence, if the couple is oblivious to the comments around them, they could be a perfect match :p

I don't know I have personally known people that have done that before(guys dated a woman considerably older than himself and it has worked out for them)I think that it is just the man that you are talking about because some men are more mature than other men....I don't see what the difference is because most people wouldnt question it if it were the guy that was 46 and it was the woman who was 31...I think that the mature part really depends on the man and how mature or immature he is!

I think that it doesn't matter how old that other person is as long as you both love each other and either one of you are under the age.

I say GO FOR IT!!!!! Forget about the age thing. First of all, it's not a marriage proposal, it's a date. Just have some fun.

Everyone is different in their maturity level so it may just work. I am married to a younger man and it works out fine. Our age is never discussed or is an issue. Granted he is 3 years younger than me so the age difference is not bad at all. But I do have a friend who is dating a younger woman. He is 33 she is 23. They have issues in their relationship because of that age difference. They are in two different stages in their lives so it is hard to agree on certain things. So it does not matter if a man is older or the women their are going to be issues in a relationship what matters is if they are happy and can overcome their differences and build a solid relationship.

Love does not care the age difference. If male is younger than female. It means that the female is more expert than the male. She can teach him lot about the love affair. If man like her female than it is ok. They should carry on and enjoy their mutual understanding and their love with age difference.

Frankly, I think age is a big problem. Especially for an elderly woman with a younger man. It may be fine to for an elderly man dates with a younger woman. On the contrary, it will be a big difference.

yes, when i was 36 i dated a women with a 32 year old widow women..it freaked my mother out..lol..but she kept her self up and she had two very overweight daughters and an alcohoic son..but she was not a drunk and no overweight..but i was and she treated me very good..for awhile...and then she got jealous of everything i did ..and i had just gotten out of a bad marriages..and got tired of being under her thumb..so i broke it off..but she was nice to me ...and for that i am grateful...but i remarried at 40 to a women 33 but it all worked out for the best...as i learned from the past..and am still married and retired..but life is not always perfect and no marriage should be taken for granted...age is only a number

Certainly it is possible for them to be together but firstly... There must be a good level of maturity among them. The guy must know what he is doing because by the time he hit 40, the lady will be well over 55 and might look pretty old. Just dont regret at that point of time. It is a deep level of maturity and love for each other for the relationship to hold and yes... Most guys mature slower but at 31 and you are still not matured, you are pretty slow.

Why not, if she is happy with it.
