Mmmm...I gave up on a girl 11 years younger than me, about 10 years ago. I was 35,and I felt that she had much still to experience, at 24; so, I let her go - even though she didn't want to split up. Were it the present (where she is 35 - I wouldn't 'jump ship' so quickly. My point is, that I think it's different, when both parties are older. The gap (11 years) closes, or appears smaller, somehow, perhaps??
Good luck.
Rose1010: What do you think if woman is dating a man who is 11-12 yrs younger than her?
montecito: HI KB.....It's good that you are questioning this because 20 years is a big age difference. Even though you say he is an "old soul" I would be concerned about the interests both of you have. In 20 years you will be slowing down and he will be 50, right in the prime of his life. More then age difference IMO it's more important to be on the right communication level.
My daughter didn't get married until she was 32 and her husband is 11 years older then her. They are completely in tune with each other on every level. I think it's more important that you think of this guy might the "the one" and what it will be like in 20 years with him. Right now you are vibrant and active but when you are 70 it's a whole different ballgame. I'll be 70 next year and I have slowed down in the sense that I don't want to be running to clubs and concerts but I do like the energy of intimacy (maybe..) and having things in common to talk about.
To answer the OP's question "is it wrong", as far as I know it's not against the law. It's only wrong in the eyes of people who are judgemental.
One more thing KB, don't forget, this is the internet. Need I say more..
Ah dear Monte, I was just "thinking outloud". Because of the subject of this thread and it paralleled similar stuff rattling around in my brain at the moment.
No worries...Kaybee won't be robbing anyone's cradle.

Is it wrong or it's just normal in 21 st Century?
I think the question is what are you looking for? Short term fireworks or long term companion? I would not judge anyone on either but just know that there are men dumping wives close to their age of 20+ years for younger women so one has to think what alot of men would do if they had a woman a decade plus older? Granted not all men would be that way but ask a male friend who has dated younger women he actually might be able to give some insight. I would guess the success rate would not look so good percentage wise but you might be one of the lucky ones. Whatever you decide I wish you all the luck. JMHO
Rose1010: Yes ! You are absolutly wright ...but still ... don't you think that 10- 12 yrs is a huuuuge differece?
i think it´s depends on what age if it´s ...30 years old that date a 20 years old it´s wrong but if it´s 45 years old that date 35 or 34 years old it´s not so bad
but i always thought that when a man is older than a woman it gives the woman some kind of power in the long term cause she will always stay the younger the beautiful one he will keep her close cause men thinks different than women we love from the heart they love with their head and they love their head
What's the difference? If you both are happy, that's all that matters. Also, every person of every age has their own set of problems. No age is without some sort of drama or problems. Over 50% of marriages fail and it isn't due to age. I say if it works, then it works and age should have nothing to do with it unless one person is under age. Go for it!!!!!!!!!

Thank you oldernwiser
I think that most of the youngest men are "using" the oldest women just for experiance...Thas's all.... and than later on if they want to have family and LTR they will find someone younger and have a kids and etc.....

If your not sure for the younger man,why then get involved???. Having fears that he'll leave you for a younger woman to have a family,it doesn't look like a good prospect starting a relationship,does it???

If you are so insecure you should not get involved ... but remember nothing is guaranteed in this world and even couples of similar ages split ... and if you are taking on a much younger man you really do have to have discussed the fact that you are no longer a baby factory ... it would be cruel to get involved if you know he wants children .. but not every man does want that responsibility ..like everything in life it has to be a decision made together if it is to work..
Lerie2010: .like everything in life it has to be a decision made together if it is to work..
Am in agreement with your post,but the last paragraph.-Even a decision made together,is not guarantee,that will stay together for ever.If one desides he/she wants out,you can do nothing about it.
