I went out with a man tonight 14 years my junior.... (168)
QueenUtopiaHalmstad, Halland Sweden165 PostsI dont really care about the age, more how he is in his mind. My last bf was 13 years younger and that worked well even tho we did a lot of flying between our countries, he was english. As long as we love each other i am not fussy about age

BerrySmoothie: I've never dated or been involved with men younger than myself.
It has never been a preference of mine.
...but I wanted to experience time with a man much younger than myself.
It didn't work for me. He was very friendly but worlds apart in terms of how we each see the world. I've had children. He hasn't. He seemed quite self-centred and talked endlessly about himself. He was quite the gentleman, very polite but I think for him it was about being with an "older woman".
My question is: is there a line for you?....how young/older would you realistically venture in finding a suitable partner.
This isn't about judging others who have found happiness with sizable age differences. Just want to know people's thoughts on this.
I thought I was quite "hip"...."young at heart"....but my perspective of the world is much different to a man who is considerably younger than myself.

I dated a 9 year old younger than me 4 years ago. Although people would tell the difference because people say that I look 10 year younger than I really am. Honestly, he was better than many older men, and I felt really good, but he had some problems with his family who didn't approve our relationship so he broke with me. I was so hurt. But honestly now I try to avoid younger men, could be younger for 5 years or less but not more than 5 years. I don´t want to suffer again.

I think is about the chemistry between two people.. doesn´t matter the age gap...
I know a couple , they´re close friends.. and they married , they were supremely attracted to eachother. The chemestry was off the charts. They come from very different backgrounds, different races and come from vastly different environments, they had many challenges in the begining, ten years and two kids later, they are in love, comfy and the chemistry is still there.

Hiya Berry, I think stage of life is important, and one of the things to be in a similar stage of life is age.
I went out with a guy 7 years younger who brought up his daughter. Mature for his age, the different stage in life and other priorities was the problem. I got chatting on nights out with 2 guys around 50, they were in a good place as regards lifestyle etc. just 50 is a big age gap.
What I'm trying to say is that as long you have a similar stage in life, it can work. For me, I'd go for these simarities AND an age gap of 3-4 years up or down ideally.
I don't think it matters for the "fun" crowd one way or another.

I'm a 53 yo born-again virgin, I've been celibate for so long!
To to OP: I had a man my age recently call me. All he did was talk about himself, and he never once asked about me. Not only that, but he was living with his father! So even if they are the same age as us, they can be selfish or living with a parent! Needless to say, I am not interested in him.
On the other hand, I know a few men who are younger than me; all of them are interested in what I have to say and are great listeners, seem caring, and all live on their own! Two of them are doing well financially, one is scraping by, another owns his own business and yet another one seems to be doing okay in the entertainment business (music and dancing). Of these 5 guys, I consider 2 of them to be younger than my age limits. I like them to be no more than 15 years younger but 2 of them are around 20 years younger : (

For me, I'll go any age younger as long as it's legal and we're happy. Older, up to age 49. I just have the energy of a younger person and would rather not spend my time with someone in declining health or fading interest in life. I'm talking with a man 22 years younger than me. We both like each other so far. More than expected. We'll be spending time together on my next trip to Germany, but so far I have made no one any promises so if you're (European and) reading this and have ideas, don't be shy.

I don't care, just noticed that you would apply different standards to a woman than you apply to yourself.

Hiya Berry
Good on you for at least trying so now you have a sense of what you're comfortable with. I think the biggest part of it is not so much the age, but whether or not the couple have common interests, goals and values much the same as with a relationship of any age really. I reluctantly dated a guy who was about 18 years younger and it just didn't feel right to me. That said, I think I'd be okay with 10 years younger and about 5 years older. Again, it all depends on other factors as well.------ This thread is Archived ------
