GRITS07 Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 What do think is too much of age gap between a man and woman? 20 years? 10? more/less. Does it make a difference if the woman is 15 years older than the man? Seems quite acceptable the other way around, but is it not acceptable for an older woman to be with a younger man? Opinions, please.
Jilly Bean Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 It's the age of the MILF, the Cougar Goddess, the Older Woman. Go for it.
Author GRITS07 Posted December 13, 2007 Author Posted December 13, 2007 Let me ask another way. Would it seem strange for a 50 year old woman to date a 37 year old guy? Do you think that's gross, weird, etc? The guy is all about doing this, the woman, well she's not sure if she should. What do you think?
Jilly Bean Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 I think if they are attracted to each other and enjoy each other's company, then who cares how old they are? I think past the age of 25, age is irrelevant.

Just to show that there is historical precedence, Islam's Prophet Muhammad married a woman 15 years older than him.
sumdude Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 Depends on what you want in a relationship. If you want to marry and have kids than a younger womwn is who you want. Otherwise if it works then why not?
Author GRITS07 Posted December 14, 2007 Author Posted December 14, 2007 Okay, another question. What do you think of someone who is making long term plans with you when they only met you. Example, well in April, let's plan a get away. So you've had 2 dates and plans are being made for months ahead. Is that a red flag? Why or why not?

You hardly know a person after a few dates, how can you be making longterm plans with them? That's like acting on a fantasy rather than experiencing reality and making sound judgements.
vivrantflo Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 Yup, that's a red flag bud. I went through something similar. I dated a woman for a week, and she wanted to move in, change my furniture, and buy me milk! It frightened me to no end, cause she was acting like my wife, and I didn't even know her last name. And guess what, she turned out to be NUTS. So becareful man..........
LoveLace Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 I don't think age is a very big contributor to the success of a relationship...chemistry, maturity, and goals would probably have to be what meshes the best in the case of age gaps. I don't see a problem with an older woman and younger man, or vice-versa...but I don't know, a 19 year-old with a 50 yr-old is a little creepy if you ask me...

Opinions, please. I wont date anyone more than 5 years one way or the other. I want someone I can grow old with and have the same things in common with. I dont want to worry about what my 40yo wife/gf thinking I'm a 50 or 60 yo old geezer. Need someone that won't be looking to trade me in as long as she gets as wrinkly as I do.
bish Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 I think if they are attracted to each other and enjoy each other's company, then who cares how old they are? I think past the age of 25, age is irrelevant. Until that attraction starts to fade and someone who is around late 30's early 40's who still looks and feels fairly young realizes they are now with someone who is close to collecting social security or subscribes to AARP magazine. With a 20 year gap...hell, even just a 10 year gap...the older of the two are not going to look so good to the younger anymore. Then a cheatin' they will go.
vivrantflo Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 I agree.. my co-worker/friend whom is 23.. is dating another co-worker whom is 54.. It's really gross to see them affectionate with each.. and the thought of them having sex is horrifying! They look like father and daughter..
Author GRITS07 Posted December 15, 2007 Author Posted December 15, 2007 Thanks. That's kind of the way I see it. Although, they may look okay together now. In a few years, not so much. I really have issues with it. She looks good for her age and he looks older than he is so they don't look like the odd couple, but dang 12 years - that's a little much in my opinion.
compassion42 Posted December 15, 2007 Posted December 15, 2007 I used to think that age was nothing but a number and sometimes still do but after being in a relationship with someone 15 years younger than me, I realize that for me....age brings other things with it like interests, energy levels,social stuff etc. and you really can feel the difference in that way. I would add that with age comes maturity but have seen that it's not always the case either-my last date was way older than me and completely immature.
D-Lish Posted December 16, 2007 Posted December 16, 2007 I don't think age is a huge deal- I think it depends more on chemistry and whether or not you balance each other in a good way. I am dating someone 15 years younger than I am at the moment. I do notice the difference in maturity level, but the physical chemistry is pretty amazing- and we have a lot of fun together. I wouldn't marry this guy- but for the time being we are simply spending time together and enjoying each other's company. I don't see an issue!

Citizen Erased Posted December 16, 2007 Posted December 16, 2007 I really have no problem. Who am I to judge others relationships because they aren't of the same age? And I could never say that I wouldn't date someone who is older. Never say never
