brok3npromise Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 (edited) I'm a 29 year old female and I have developed feelings for a 23 year old male. He seems to be far more mature than even the older men I have dated. He will turn 24 before I turn 30. My problem is I'm getting a lot of comments from my friends and family that this will never work and I'm wasting my time. My parents are extremely old fashioned and believe a woman should only date an older man. My friends tell me there isn't any way that we could possibly have anything in common, but we share many common interests and want the same things in life. What are your opinions on women dating younger men? Edited July 27, 2014 by brok3npromise
CharlieFox Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 Why do you, in a way, let other people get between two people in a two-people relationship? If you both feel good with each other, and there aren't any serious factors that come with the age of both of you that prevent you from enjoying what you have, why should you worry about what someone else thinks and considers to be right for you? 2
HappyLove Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 Tell your family and friends to put a sock in it! Some of the 40 year old men out here are no prize! The last few I met were alcoholics in AA, not judging...but still, living with mom and dad at 39 years old, still playing immature games with women. Honey if you've met a nice guy who you connect with and makes you feel great hold on to him with everything you've got! 2
Tbisb74 Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 My mother is 7 years older than my father: My brother's wife is 5 years older than he is.... I'm sorry, what was the question....? 2
Keenly Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 Some women might place far too much emphasis on what friends and family think of a chosen partner. To those women I ask : are you trying to make them happy or are you trying to make YOU happy.? 1
Michelle ma Belle Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 Age is just a number provided your dating someone who is legal of course. I've commented on this subject many times already but I've dated men of all ages and dating "older" guarantees nothing and the same with dating younger. You can't paint all young men with the same paint brush. It's about each man independently. You have to listen to what you heart tells you and if you feel a connection with someone younger and he seems to have his sh*t together than so be it. Besides, it's not like you're marrying the guy right now, you're just dating for heaven's sake. Your parents and friends will need to just chill the f*ck out and let you live your life. And for the record, my mother is 6 years older than my father and I'm 13 year older than my man. Neither of us planned it that way but when you find someone you connect with, age really does become just a number. Good luck! 1
