DO you want to marry a man who is older than your father ?

I don't think it is possible. Because I am already not interested in a man who is older than me 10 years. I think it is already a big generation gap. If my husband is even older than my dad, I think it is terrible in my opinion. I hope to grow old with my husband. We can do many things when we are young, such as traveling, sports and so on. If he is old, I don't think we can have this fun. And it will be sad to see he will leave me sooner because he is old. I love China

I dont think its a gud idea .... Down the line, some day she will feel that she could have married someone of her age..

No. I would not want to be his nurse, which eventually I would be, I want someone to spend my life with and they will not live as long. I also feel that eventually there will cease to be any physical chemistry (if there is any in the first place) I hope it works out for her.

I don't really understand the situation all too well, but is there any love between this girl and this older man? Or is she just after him or interested in him because of his money? Not trying to be mean, but that is kind of what it sounds like :(... If she truly loves him, and he loves her, age shouldn't matter, but it is never right to marry someone just for their money.

i know its really hard to decide on that especially, if u would consider so many things..and ofcouse u would think of what would other people, your family would feel and think of u. But i guess, if u love the guy and the guy loves u, and ure happy together, i dont see any problem. just dont think of others as long as you two are happy and understand, trust and love each other. Just make sure u really love the guy and you;re not mistaken of your feelings....

Well,normally is not a good idea 2 some people but truly it's nothing wrong with that,it's just ur fortune !

I would say that successful and caring is not the only thing important in a man I wouldn't marry a man I don't love and the only way I love him is if he loves me so it goes down to feelings really it's true that compares to young boys, an old man must be more appealing because they have been through a lot and knows more about how the world goes but does he love her? he is a successful man, you said, this means he is a business savvy. your friend needs to know that she will be loved and not thrown away like useless commodity when he finds another sure he cares for her now, because she is not his yet also, does your friend love him? or is she just tired after a long journey full of heartaches? she needs to go inward and find her truth, before she makes any decision that may be worse than her previous ones

If the man is having all these best qualities and your friend like him and accept his age then it is ok.In my opinion she should not go behind his money or she should not give her consent because of the pressure from somebody. Your question " Will you marry a guy like who I described " is irrelevant.Because cit all depends on the circumstances. And the likes and dislikes will vary from one man to the other.Because of the circumstances, some young and poor girls have to accept such marriages as the best in their life.

hello! i don't think that there's something wrong with it as long as my parents would accept him as their son-in-law... if he can give me the unconditional love that i need like what my parents were showing me, then i don't have reasons to reject him... :)

Hi Amanda, this is really hard to decide. If I meet a man is older than me, I will never want to start ant relationship with him at all. I could not stand to have a partner or husband which is same age or older than my father. Just imagine My father is 60 years old now. If your friend has built a strong relationship with this man and they love each other, then she has to decide herself. She can forget about the age issue, then she can go ahead to marry this perfect man.

I personally do not believe in any relationship in which 1 party is more than 10 years older than the other. If you are looking for a mother or father figure then you should have stayed at home with your parents.

I don't believe that there is anything wrong with marrying someone older than you are, especially since I seem to be attracted to men as old as my father (though luckily my father is in his 40s so it is not all that shocking lol). But yea, if I found someone like that, who I found physically attractive and who could speak to my mind as well as supporting me, then I would definitely marry him...as long as my dad agreed of course. I would imagine that it would be the people I know, rather than myself who would have problems with the relationship! But I believe that love can conquer all and with people living so long, and so healthier these days, I imagine that I could have a good few many happy years with him before there were real issues. So yea, I think your friend should go for it if that is what she truly wants :o)

hm.... first off i would like to say that everyone has their opinion. There are so many ways to look at the situation whether it be the man buying you gifts or if it is really for love. Think about how this would affect your immediate family and compare it to what you really want in life. Does she honestly love him? or does she love the money thats behind him? I had a friend that went through a phase where all she would ever do was date guys that had money. She never cared if the guy was thirty years her senior; she just loved the fact that everything that was given to her was out of "love" for her. I never saw her once say thank you in return but she did sound like she did care for the guy. there are just weird situations sometimes where people find themselves trapped and making a choice if they really love the significant other or the supplies their loved ones gave them for a happy life.
