nashua Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 what are your thoughts. I'm not talking a few years, i'm talking atleast 20. I'm 30 and my man is 59. We've been together over 3 years. any other women into dating older men. anyone been there and regretted it?
sb129 Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 No personal experience with it myself. Each to their own, but a man over 40 has to be VERY hot for me to find him attractive.
birdmadgirl Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 I was once involved in a long-term relationship with someone ten years my senior. That was one of those situations you go into just to spite your parents. Then, one day you wake up and realize that they actually do have a clue! There's a story behind this, of course, but suffice it to say that the difference between 19 and 29 is vast. Now that I'm older (I'm also 30), age differences don't seem to have as much of an impact as they once did. I have a wonderful friendship with a 48-year-old colleague that began as a crush. It might have become something more if an even younger woman hadn't gotten to him first.
Jilly Bean Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 I have absolutely no interest in older men (I'd go younger over older). BUT, you have been together for years, I assume it's going well? One of my gf's is 32, and is married to a guy who is 60. Her only regret is that they will never have kids together. I suppose you have to consider that...
birdmadgirl Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 I do find it interesting that the older I get, I gravitate toward progressively younger men. It's not something I'm consciously seeking out, mind you. But it's been three or four years since I dated a guy my own age.
Author nashua Posted December 13, 2007 Author Posted December 13, 2007 I have absolutely no interest in older men (I'd go younger over older). BUT, you have been together for years, I assume it's going well? One of my gf's is 32, and is married to a guy who is 60. Her only regret is that they will never have kids together. I suppose you have to consider that... I love this little story! Thanks. As far as children go, we are both in agreement that we do not want kids (see my other thread about women not wanting children). I guess i expected to see a lot more people bashing me for dating someone close to my fathers age. And yes...it is going very very well. Sometimes though, wheni walk down the street i see a very old man like in his 80's or 90's and get a bit freaked out that in time, My man will look like that and I'll still be young and spicey. Does your friend worry about her hubby's aging issues?
Jilly Bean Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 No, not too much. But she is aware that she will be widowed within the next 20 years or so... BTW, my friend is a total knockout. Long blonde hair, big boobs, gorgeous face...and her hubby is, well, VERY average. He is bald and has a pony tail, pooch and he's short. And no, this is not about money, because he's broke - lol. However, she loves him, and says he treats her better than any man ever has. Sometimes she says its kind of like a Daddy dynamic, since he cant, um, perform like a 30 year old, but she doesn't care. Ultimately, if you are happy, and you must be from 3 years with him, who cares what anyone thinks, right?
