Younger men.

Yes, I have dated a lot of guys younger than me because I'm always being mistaken as much younger than my age. My ex-boyfriend was 28 years old when I was 38. I'm 39 now and my colleagues thought I was in my late 20's. Going back to my ex- who is 10 years younger than me, we didn't have a problem on the age difference (He's European and he even looks older than me; I'm Asian and small). I even think it's my immaturity which was the reason why we didn't end up together. I believe that age difference doesn't matter when the guy is in his 20's already. An 18-year-old guy (as in your example), I think, is still too young to have a relationship with a much older woman. Unless the guy is mature for his 18 years, then it's fine; but I doubt it because many say that guys mature slower than girls.

Age doesnt matter personality does,two years ago i was talking to a 26 year old women who was a friend of my uncle and after an hour i was thinking if this women knows how old i'm ,and i asked her how old does she thinks i am,she said 25 and when i told her 19 years old she was shocked and said that i talk like a mature person and i have a body of a older person,i felt good she told me any women would like to be with you if i dont tell your age.

LOL.. because of a personal past relationship, I'd have to say you go girl. Not the guy I'm with now but the one I was with before him was waayyy younger than me. He was 18 when we started going out and I was 32. Now, I realize that I'm probably going to get slammed for that one but hey, it's my life. He was a very mature 18 year old that's for sure. The age difference had nothing to do with why we broke up - other things just didn't work out. I don't think age has any importance in a relationship as long as both people are adults and mature enough to deal with it.

Twice I have seriously dated older women. The first time I was still in high school...a 17 year old junior. The lady was about 25....finished with her college education and teaching in the elementary school. I had a blast with her...and I think she had a blast with me too. However, I couldn't bring her to high school dances or the prom so I would date high school girls at the same time, and then secretly - for most people - see my real girlfriend. That continued until I went away to college and she met another man, fell in love, became pregnant and got married. There was always a question in my mind, what if? But that time, the age difference was too much....I still wanted to have fun, she wanted to settle down. The second instance, I was in my mid 20s, out of school, in my first professional job, and this 35 year old divorcee with a 5/6 year old daughter and I fell in love. and the rest, this time, is - how do they say, is history!

I've always liked younger guys for some reason. The guy i've been involved with off and on for the last 6 or 7 years now is 12 years younger than me and most of the time he acts older than me. He's also taller and bigger than me so that makes people think he's older. I don't think the age thing matters most of the time unless you have a teen going with a 30 or 40 something year old and people frown on that a lot.

I personally haven't dated any younger men but that isn't to say that if I were single that I wouldn't. It's funny though, if the scenario was reversed, you know the guy would be getting the high-5s from his friends for dating the younger woman....and you're right, most folks would look at the older woman/younger man scenario and think cradle robber. It's a horrible double standard. But personally, who am I to judge. If the guy is mature enough to be in an adult relationship and can fulfill the emtional and physical needs of the woman....then rock on! My only concern would be for my friend...I mean, if she's feeling ready to settle down and move into the next phase of her life and he's only just getting into college....it seems to me like the 7 year difference is a much bigger chasm than say between a 32 year old woman and a 25 year old guy. At 18 most guys are contemplating school and frat parties and drunken spring breaks in Cancun and I would worry that the needs and desires of both people might be on a totally different plane....if that makes any sense.

yes i dated younger girl before, she was 8 years younger than me, very cute girl, either she know how to kiss or i was very in love with her, but she can makes me wanting more after each kisses, too bad things happend, we had to break up. i also dated older woman before not the same result, i have date woman that is like 10 years older than me bad huh?

I'm all for the saying age is just a number.. I think if it works for someone, its fine by me, none of my business. I have dated a younger guy only once though and it didnt last too long. J is almost 10 years older than me and I think we have a wonderful relationship.

I am married to a younger man. We have been married for almost 42 years. He is 14 months younger that me. We had to wait until he was 21 for us to get married and I was already 22
