It is very common to see men and woman seeking for much younger life partners. I am intrigued by the question why a 20 or even 30 years younger lady would get into a relationship with me or with anybody in the late 50s. Disclosing answers such as wealth and luxury built up or the ilusion of wisdom. I really want to know. In a world of prejudgements and pretextual behaviours I believe it to be a valid question. Thanks for commenting on it.

Ok, here are my 5 cents worth, even though I don't get it myself. confused

Stage in life - some young people want to miss the being young, broke wild part and just settle straight away - someone older might suit there.

Some older people want to stay young and are looking for someone to live a "young" lifestyle with or simply have a nice thing hanging off their arm.

I like someone in a similar stage in life and that does age include for me, so I was never interested in a big age difference either way - but I do know that different people simply look for different things and best of luck with that.

Is that the multi-millionaire James Woods you are talking about?

There doesn't have to be an actual chronological age difference that sparks comments.....

I had a pic of my (now ex-) partner on my profile page and I got comments about him being my father even though there was only 5 years between us.....??!!

The first two rules of dating someone 20 years younger.

Keep them out of your will, and don't get life insuarance.


Some are less patient than others.

Play safe.

Molly... Last NBA season the owner of the LA Clippers was taped by is young girlfriend using racial slurs. The octogenarian had to sell the team . The girl friend was said to have received to Benthleys (expensive cars) and a 2 million dollar house. These types of relationships are secret until something happen.

Young people look better and older people have more experience.

Men put a higher value on appearance and women put a higher value on confidence, and so I can see why younger woman/older man couples complement each other. The younger man/older woman relationship makes less sense to me. I think it's much more likely to be that there's some special motive at play - his difficulty with women his own age/her desire to recapture youth, perhaps.

Benny, I mean with 'real' people. Neighbours, friends, etc. Not people living fantasy uber-rich lives.

Let me ask you a question: Would you enter into a relationship with a woman 20 or 30 years your senior? A simple yes or no will do. :-)

Molly... It does happen with ordinary people. For many college girls - you pay my tuition and I provide companionship.

All the views expressed I do agree with...and as covered there could well be a "hidden" reason that you/they "would not write home about".

Saying that, I do believe that there is people who feel they are young at heart, or older than their years (or somehow they feel trapped in their body) and for them love could well be age blind.

I did read somewhere that long term partners do seem to have the same physiological makeup.

I spent half my money on young women and cold beer.
The rest I just wasted.
There is a natural reason for horniness and the biological clock is ticking. Older men and women may be feeling the biological pressure to reproduce.

I think people forget the human hardwiring. It's certainly natural for an older man to want to continue to sow his wild oats, but it is not natural for a young woman to want to mate with an old man. If that were the case, it would be the norm (>50% of the population), but it isn't. The genetic material deteriorates as people age. Young women are hardwired to choose young men and vice versa. As we age, men and women may want someone younger, but you can crap in one hand and wish in the other and see which one fills up first. People who get their wish are the statistical outliers. That's why they are in the news or social media and that's why these issues are discussed.

Who cares to each their own.Society is real good about dictating what other people should do in regards to who they should date and how they should dress and who one should marry.

My opinion is if the two are both adults and they really like each other then it's no ones business but thete own,

The younger one gets older that can't be helped,

Yes we all going in the same direction,

Can't stop the advancing years,

So I say just enjoy

We have one life

Nothing stays the same.

So just enjoy while you can..

Sometimes younger male or female. Want older because it makes them feel more wanted desire able and feel they have a power ie youth over the older one,

They wouldn't feel so confident if they were with partners around their own age ,

Yes self esteem issues come into also,

As for the older one ,well they desire youth ,

Thing is no one stays in the eternal fountain of youth,

Unless you slap on oil of Ulay of course,

Anyway just dance be merry

Be Xmas soon.santa waving reindeer
