If you're asking: "Is it OK for me to have a partner who is much older or younger than I am?" You'll do better off if you forget about your ages and concentrate on whether the relationship works for both of you, or not. What really makes a romantic relationship succeed is the emotional connection.

It depends on the people and the culture too. some cultures do not go for it.
Myself, I 'd feel like I was robbing the cradle. It would be like having to raise a child again because how much can they learn from. It could also be the energy a younger man brings while us old farts give up the ghost after a point.

I don't think it is just sex....I think an older woman can definitely have a mental/emotional connection to a younger man, and same with older man/younger woman....it does happen with some people, though probably more the exception than the rule...

I blame it on "Desperate Housewives".

Or the fact that Cougars like to prowl, and where they prowl the most is where younger men tend to be...

I am with you pal. It has happened to me to. and I lived to tell about it too.
Probably won't again though. Something really has to happen to change my mind. my experience soured me on this.

Better than nothing? Yikes ....... now won't someone just be thrilled to be with someone with that attitude and that thinks so highly of them! Would you want someone to be with you for those reasons?
