older women vs younger men ( Archived) (42)

the oldest i would go is 40 year old woman. not just for a fling. if i click with somone ill give it a shot. plus my moms only 43 so i cant date any one over 40.

Hell!! Why not? That would only be a 13 year difference!

I dated a girl who was 17 years younger than me.

Her Grandfather and my Father were only 3 years apart, and I was 10 years older than her sister, and 10 years younger than her mother!!

Your mother has nothing to do with it!!! If you bring her into it, then you could be in deep trouble!!!

I see no problem with it. If the two have been together, take
each other unconditionally, never go into the relationship
thinking in time they can change that person.If it is an
honest relationship built on that honesty, trust and love
then age should never be an issue.

good points, and I agree wholeheartedly.

Not easy to do in practice though!

where's the puppies

I'd say "Go for it, Sister!" The younger man has mucho (macho?) stamina, zeal and enthusiasm to learn the ropes from an experienced older lover and, personally, I am grateful that I had a best friend when I was 18 and she was 35 and we are still great friends to this day 30+ years later!

I have pretty much only dated younger men...........Not for any reason other than i found them more attractive so far but I am not opposed to dating anyone the same age or older if they were right for me

I think it's different when you actually grow with the person. At least it is for me. Even with my cousins, who are now as old as I am, I can still see them as they were when they were younger.

I think the same would be true of a partner. If she was pretty to me when I first met her I would retain that image in my mind and I could still see that youth in her as she aged. My mind would become her fountain of youth.

However, if I met a woman that I already viewed as being "old", then my mind has nothing to revert back to. That's the only image I have to work with.

In fact, I have actually met older people who have shown me pictures of themselves when they were younger and after viewing those pictures I could then look at them and see the younger person behind the wrinkles.

Perhaps it's just me and the way my mind works. I have one hell of an imagination, I only need a seed and my imagination can take care of the rest. Having said that though, if I'm going to start up a brand new relationship I may as well work with a live seed.

When I was in my 20's I think I could have easily hooked up with a 40 year old woman with the full intent of having a permanent relationship with her. I have no clue how it might have worked out in the long term. That would put her at almost 80 today whilst I'm a young-looking 57. I suppose it all depends on how youthful she would appear at that age.

I have an aunt who is 79 and she could easily pass for 50. On the other hand, my mother easily looked 80 when she was 80. My mother died at 90 and if I told you at that time that she was 109 you would not have questioned it at all. So different people age differently. You can't really go by the numbers.
