How do you feel about a older woman and a younger man in a relationship?

Maybe I will be surprised at first because I'm not used to seeing it, but if they are happy, it should be fine. Age won't stop one from loving.

Well, love has nothing to do with age so to each his own. For myself personally, I want to be in a relationship with someone around my own age. I want to enjoy activities with my partner and I think that is best when we have some commonground/interests.

hello wonga! actually, in the community i live in, such a relationship is unusual. However, as i have also traveled a lot, i have often found couples who are mismatch not only in age but in appearance as well but they were all so happy and contented with each other, that i could not help being happy for them too. Love is not bounded by time, culture, distance and even age. If we are not used to seeing such couples, we might be a little intrigue or embarrass at first considering that in our community such public display of affection is considered taboo for young generations much more for couples who are like mother and son, father and daughter. People are now more expressive than before. Young people are not afraid to show their real feelings even when ridiculed by other people. Older people who had been withholding themselves because of what others might say are now laying off their inhibitions and are coming out of their shell. Who cares? they're in love and the world could melt for all they care as long as they have each other.. After overcoming my surprise at such a couple, i had often been in awe of this sight since i know it is not easy for them to publicly display their feelings, they're bound to be criticized in all ways. But people truly in love will show strength and determination uncommon for other people.oh, to be in love is such a bliss..and a curse sometimes..lol

Love does not works only when the man is older than the woman. Everyone says that love has no boundaries, and it does not count on the age, status, and money only when it really comes between two person. It is very normal in my opinion, so long as they are happy and enjoying their time together. Have a nice day

That's what we called "cougar" relationship where women is older than man. In the past, it's seen as something weird and prohibited, but now, times had moved on and people are more open minded now. In Asia now, we are seeing more and more of such relationships even though many parents are showing their discontent and disapproval. I won't mind myself dating a younger man as long as it's within 5 year gap. If he appeals to me, there must be something unique about him that I don't bother about the age gap.

The discussion on the matter at hand is very good.I feel we all should thank about our own ways of doing things and reconsider,than look at ways to do things better in order to help others. I don't see anything wrong with the older woman and younger man relationship.

Although it is their own business, but I still have a doubt how long this relationship can last. The generation gap does make a difference. It is already not so suitable for a young girl to marry to an old man. And it seems it is worse for a young man to marry to an old lady because woman grows old faster. When her beauty is gone, how will this young man think about? Others may look at them with strange views. I love China

Well, this is love. To me, love is a sophisticated matter and it's kind of hard to explain. Say for example, one moment this boy and this girl were strangers. Another moment, they are in love. So...yea. But with regards to this, I've seen on TV dramas, a younger man dating an older woman, who's old enough to be his mother. But in real life, I've not seen any case like this. Hmm...what's wrong with loving someone who's older or younger than themselves? They aren't committing a crime right? The only obstacle they have to pass would just be their parents. Other than that, it's up to them.

I see nothing wrong with a relationship between an older woman and a younger man. As long as they love and care for each other and make each other happy age should not be made an issue. Any age can kno love and how to cherish it.

For me it is happened maybe the boy don't have a mother and they want that her wife is her mother the same time it is his wife.

I've been seeing the same thing in our community. It's not bad or good. It really depends on how one person look at that kind of affair. I used to have a relationship with older men, more like a father but it doesn't matter to me as long as we love each other and respect.

Hi wonga, Personally, I don't like women older than me even if I find them attractive. However some boys are attracted to them, I don't know why. Maybe its a mother complex, someone who cares and feeling like a baby once more. I have no hangups with the arrangement as long as the guy don't revert to childish ways such as going in tantrums if not given the things he wants or finding another "momma" if she gets too old for his taste. It would be a bad scene if momma feel in love with baby boy and he go away in the end for another woman. I've already seen a lot of cases just like that. In that situation, it is always the woman who take the risk of being hurt.

I don't see any wrong there fren as we should be more liberal and humanly towards woman's feeling. A older man n young woman looks okay to all but why when its vice versa....There is no such things called age should come between love....LOVE IS A SENSE OF PURITY NOT TO BE INTERRUPTED BY ANYTHNG...so just let the love be love...

Are you sure they are a couple? Mother and son also can hug and hold hands. Of course, I can't accept that a old woman and a younger man are couple. That's very surprising.

I don't see anything wrong with that. Why are we so concerned about the age differences anyways? It would be different if one was a minor but these are two adults. As long as they are happy together then that's all that really matters. I really don't get why some people make a fuss when it's an older woman dating a younger man but it's alright for an older man to date a younger woman. I don't know, maybe in your case they aren't a couple. It's not uncommon to see these kinds of display in public. Who knows, maybe they are just a son and his mother enjoying a day out together or something. I'm not one to judge without knowing the full details.

At first, it will be awkward to see couples like them...however, it can also be a source of inspiration and admiration on how they make such relationship work...I guess that what love really is. In love, age is not an issue. As long as two persons share the same feelings, share the same heartbeat, age, race, status and any other things are immaterial. Nowadays, relationships like that are just normal. The society just dictates that it is awkward because it isn't as readily accepted...I think that what matters most is that they are not hiding what they really feel about each other and are making things be at its best beyond age difference...besides, age is just a number...when a person is sincerely in love, his/her heart remains young.

For me, love have no boundaries. I don't mind at all as long as both souls love each other. However, most of the cases I see is because one party is superb rich. lol!

I think that is a normal thing. Love is for everyone in every age. We don't chose who we love, it's not something we can control. I totally believe that people can be together despite the age, racial, etc differences.
