alphamale Posted June 5, 2019 Posted June 5, 2019 Here's another example - Joan Collins (86) and Percy Gibson (54) - married for 17 years. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-6669573/Joan-Collins-reveals-secret-17-year-marriage-Percy-Gibson.html that is the exception, not the rule 1
CautiouslyOptimistic Posted June 5, 2019 Posted June 5, 2019 I've been with someone 18-19 years older ... I was in my early 30s, she about 50 ... The age thing didn't break us up ... other stuff just didn't work. Of course, this guy is the most famous person right now dating an older woman, and he appears to have achieved a lot. https://www.thelocal.fr/20170507/whos-the-older-woman-in-presidential-hopeful-macrons-life Or these two!

guest569 Posted June 5, 2019 Posted June 5, 2019 although ten years or less difference is my preferred option, the woman being younger of course!!! Of course!!!
Michelle ma Belle Posted June 5, 2019 Posted June 5, 2019 I have dated younger almost exclusively post-divorce (going on 10 years). In the beginning, it wasn't because that was a preference but rather because it was the only pool of men that was remotely interested since men my age were out of their own miserable marriages and now looking to sew their wild oats with fresh young meat. Such is life. I don't have an issue with age gaps (consenting adults only) as long as everyone is on the same page. As Smackie said, date where your priorities are at. As long as you're on the same page and have a good time together, date for as long as you're both happy. Hell, you can find someone more age-appropriate, date for 5 years, marry them and it falls apart a year later. There are no guarantees in life so do what makes you happy. Enjoy. 4
Highndry Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 I have to be honest in that there is something attractive to me about an older woman with money. It's not that I'd want her money, it's that it takes the whole gold-digger thing out of the equation and I don't have to worry about supporting her. Hmmm, maybe I should look for an older woman...
snowcones Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 There are pluses and minuses to every relationship. You could date someone younger but that would bring with it a different set of pluses and minuses. You just have to decide what's going to work for you and be okay with it. 1
TheFinalWord Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 (edited) I have to be honest in that there is something attractive to me about an older woman with money. It's not that I'd want her money, it's that it takes the whole gold-digger thing out of the equation and I don't have to worry about supporting her. Hmmm, maybe I should look for an older woman... I agree man. If it wasn't for the fact that a family is still a possible option in my life, an older woman that likes to get out and have fun, has her life together, carries minimal baggage (no possessive ex husbands; not still mourning the memory of an ex boyfriend, no young kids as I don't want to be a step dad)...would be at the top of a lot of men's dating list. The problem is most older women have a bunch of baggage. Men too for that matter. Most older men are obese, bald, and are boring. Same with an older woman. Sometimes though, you find that NOWALT (not all women are like that). There is a woman in her mid-50s that I talk to online quite a bit. She initiated contact with me from an online dating website. She's really attractive (5', 110lbs, long, red hair, super feminine, always smiling and seeing the bright side of things), but never married and has no kids. If she didn't live states away I would definitely want to date her on a regular basis! Interacting with her makes it easy for me to see the appeal of older guys with their lives together, to younger women. Edited June 6, 2019 by TheFinalWord

You can look for this, but I've gotta be honest with you younger guys: You do it all wrong. Before you approach an older woman, THINK before you speak. DON'T tell her that you like that she has her own money or mention anything about money, really. Older men don't even want to hear that from women, so why do you think an older woman would find that cute? It's distasteful and they don't want to hear it. Also, don't act like you've changed your mind about whether you want to have children now that you've met an older woman. That will only scare her away. Make that decision before you get to her.
fromheart Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 Always date younger women, unless you're in your 20's.

Totally agree with you guys and it's not the money that I'm attracted to anyway. I didn't bring it up but I did mention the differences in our class and I'm not even trying to match or compete. I just can't honestly, she doesn't mind paying for things and usually does it when I step away or already have a tab open. I feel weird from always shelling out for women my whole life so it's different. I'm totally grateful and thank her always but not in a ass kissing way. But it takes away so much pressure from things and we enjoy each others company. Her baggage is long gone and age 60 since she's learned a lot. This woman is very direct and knows what she wants. It's amazing to me and I'm happy to say we're officially a couple and growing from here on.
alphamale Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 my experience with older women is that many of them are more relaxed in the sack and more relaxed about life in general and they get mad less often 1
