Older women/younger men

It's funny - when I was in my teens and early twenties, I really preferred "older men" - in their late twenties to early forties. They had more interesting things to talk about, had developed a world view and had a lot in common with me. I'm nearly 50 now, and I find that somehow most of the men that I end up dating and spending time with are ... in their late twenties to early forties. Go figure. I guess my tastes just haven't changed at all. That said, I was really nervous about telling my 23 year old daughter that the guy I was going out with one night was 25 years old. Her reaction was... "Really? My boyfriend is older than that. You go, mom!"

My son 22 has met a lady online that he is really crazy about, she lives about 70 miles from us. He hasn't gotten to meet her yet in person. But they have a lot of things in common I know he thinks he could really care for this lady. She is 32. I told him if he feels right about it and she does then power to them. When i saw her picture I thought she was younger than him. She is very pretty. I think that if people really care for each other and treat each other right Age means nothing.

I don't see anything wrong with an older woman with a young man if there is love. Whom I am to judge another person. If they have common interests, common hobbies their relationship can survive.

I used to be upset when I saw an older woman with a younger man, but not when I saw an older man with a younger woman. Which made me take a really good look at what I was thinking was wrong. As long as the two love each other than there is nothing wrong with it. Lots of women have very long happy relationships with younger men and vice versa I think what fair for older men is fair for older women when it comes to a younger mate as long as they are of age.

Well I see it that more younger woman get with older men for the maturity level. Men take longer to mature normally. So when you see a older woman with a younger man it makes me wonder why.

I see nothing wrong with an older woman marring a younger man. I guess in "technical terms" that would make my wife a craddle robber as she is 6 years older than I am. :)

i think its fabulous that an older woman marries a younger man.. why not? what does it matter anyways, as long as they both are happy, no one should care.

These cases are increasing nowadays. In our neighborhood, I have known a young man who is living with an older woman who is already a widow. The problem is the widow's children doesn't like the young man. I don't disagree with this scenario because those people also deserve to be happy but the most critical factor in this case is merely acceptance.

most of my relationships have been with older women and honestly i enjoyed each relationship. you know the adage there's an old adage that goes like "old carabao eat young grass", that's exactly how it feels to be with an older woman. older women pamper their partner better and they have less hang-ups with the relationship. i'm not dissing the younger women there. i've had a couple relationships with younger women and a couple went real well. it's just that there is a certain magic that old women bring to the relationship. i've had an ex-girlfriend that acted like an immature 13 year old but i think she was the rotten apple in the good bunch of really tasty mature apples. lol! so in hindsight, i think more than the age, it's really how you relate with your partner on a number of levels, physically, emotionally, mentally, among others that makes or breaks the relationship. just my 2 cents.

when I was 30 I had a secret affair for a couple of years with a women that was 49..it was perfect, we meet us only when I want too, she never disturb my relationship, and in bed she was a fury..belive me it was a very good period of my life.. Nun

Older women and younger men,older men and younger women,no odds here,if that is what the person chooses then thats up to them,if they think that that person is for them then who are we to interfere and say what we think,or maybe those who interfere are just that little bit jealous,but no if thats what floats there boat then let them alone

I dont accept both cases.........

I don't think it matters much these days they'll be thinkin that as a guy when your 40 and she's 60. She's not as sexy as an older woman then is she, but seriously i've been with older women like ten years older than me and i don't find the problem, dating is dating and love is love and when someone finds what their interested in good for them. They shouldn't have to worry about the hype of what society puts on them, who cares it's your life live it how you want it.

If they are both past 18, they each have great careers, and they both truly love one another, then I see nothing wrong with it.

Older women with younger men or older men with younger women...what difference does it make? Our society depicts it that way. If an older woman is with a younger man she is labeled a "cradle robber" but if it's older men and younger women he's tagged as a "dirty old man". There's no right or wrong in this situation what matters is that they love each other and it's working perfectly for them.

I don't think the current term is cradle robber. I think it is "Cougar". As long as said party is dating someone of legal age, I don't think it should matter. Happiness is actually rare. If someone finds it, I say run with it.

I don't really think anyone should criticize. Lots of people think that their age group is too immature, too mature, whatever the situation is. Other than it being more difficult for older women to have children {which can be helping in many ways}, what's the big deal? I don't judge.

i think that as long as ur two consenting adults mind u i say adults! haha that it dosn't matter as long as u love each other i am a firm believer in you can't help who you fall in love with!! you love who you love and if he happens to be a bit younger as long as you both are happy then go for it!

miss kit : i read your comment with interest and would 1st like to ask ..... what do you mean when you say cradle robber ? secondly, i truly believe that age does not matter in a relationship as long as you know that that person you care about is the right one for you. my real question i like to post here is ...... does race or colour of your skin matter when it comes to younger/older relationships ? or is money the real problem here ? i have had sad experiences in the past but i still truly believe that a relationship with an older is still the ideal ....... i feel much more peaceful ..... more serene ........ thanks from : Raymond BAI_MA_66@hotmail.com
