I just read this article about women who are dating men 5-10 years younger than they are and I am quite amaze at how things have really changed these days. I like the idea that women have more choices than they used to have though... Here is the link to that story... http://dating.personals.yahoo.com/singles/relationships/23981/whats-behind-the-trend-of-women-dating-younger-men;_ylc=X3oDMTRucGlnZjNpBF9TAzI3MTYxNDkEX3MDMjAyMzM5NDI3NwRrA1doYXQmIzM5O3MgQmVoaW5kIHRoZSBUcmVuZCBvZiBXb21lbiBEYXRpbmcgWW91bmdlciBNZW4_BHNlYwNmcF9wdWxzZQRzbGsDd2hhdHMtYmVoaW5kLXRoZS10cmVuZC1vZi13b21lbi1kYXRpbmcteW91bmdlci1tZW4-

We are called cougars! A few years ago, before I met my boyfriend, I was 32 and dating a 24 year old. It was great. No pressure, and no clingy!!

Cougars... I like the sound of that. I have never heard that desription before but I like it. Yeah, the older we get, the more independent we become. I am not the clingy type either and I really have low tolerance for women who cling to their men like glue.

Hi, I am an older women who dated younger men, not by choice. They where the only ones asking me out. So I finally gave in and started dating them. We had a lot of fun. When I was 42 years old I met a young man of 25. I thought he was at least 35 and he thought I was maybe 35. We dated about 2 weeks before it came out how old we really were. We had a big laugh about that and still do, 22 years later. We had our ups and downs, none of our proplems were because of our age differenc. We feel in love and it has lasted. I have never regretted marrying him.

Now that is really cool! 22 years together! Not many people really get to stay together that long. I mean, a lot of people nowadays do not even stick together for more than a few months! How sad things have turned out to be... Anyway, I think you are one lucky girl. :)

In my opinion, their is nothing wrong with a woman dating a male who is younger then she. Younger males tend to go for older females in this day and age. The reason is because older females tend to already know what they want in life. Older females tend to be more established. And, older females, at the same time, tend to have already passed the immature stages of late teens and early 20 year old. The only draw back is for those who wish to get pregnant.

Yeah, the pregnancy thing can get a touchy issue in this case. I really have nothing against women who wish not to have children but some men are seemed to be vent on having kids. My brother-in-law is one of those men. My sisters is not really old, she just turned 40 but she find it difficult to have children. it's really becoming quite an issue for them both at the moment.

I just want to share this with you. I had many relationships and I am married. All of them were younger than me. I actually am not attracted to older men sorry! But in my opinion is just a question of preference. Some women like blonde, other brunettes, other old men, etc. So, what is the real problem. I tell you something I love my life! I heard many comments but I heard one very interesting. This woman was telling me that she was married to a man 18 years younger and some people made a comment. To her sister she said "Are you eating your heart out aren't you"?

I like that! I mean it's really a matter of preferences. I do have a couple of friends whose hubbies are more than five years younger than they are and they are really happy. The age gap really doesn't matter as long as you love each other very much. In fact, I think that they are even happier than most couples that I know of.
