Nope never that’s far too old. He would never be able to keep up with me or my children and would die too soon. My current partner is 8 years older than me and that’s enough.
freedomcomes: As the title says, would you date someone 30 years older than you under any circumstances. As we all know , an older person can feel a lot younger than their age ,and some are more mature than their younger age, ,love to hear genuine opinions on this.
As a 78 year old the answer is obvious - or is it? And what is meant by 'date'. If there were significant financial reasons for it, why not form a relationship? Let's leave jig-a-jig out of the question, and suppose there are joint family reasons, or mutual interest or institutions ... sure! I could do it the reverse way too, as the older party, acknowledge the property or financial aspects and tie up. What has Rupert Murdoch done after all, and did not Wendi Deng achieve significant benefit from her decision. So the answer in a nutshell is - it could be possible. Mind you, I don't have wealth power or influence, so I strongly recommend not dating me is you are south of 50!

Well, it looks like you are the older one in this situation, if you are the person in question of course and you are not asking for a friend. Age isn't just a number, like it or not. And to answer your question, it is a "no", I wouldn't date anyone older or younger than me by more than 5-6 years. Most men older than me have already retired and just want someone to follow their pursuit of retirement adventure and new found freedom (boredom). I am 100% in to my most busy and fulfilling work time. Nothing to keep us together, at least for longer than a weekend. A type of weekend I can live without. I see you get irritated by some of the comments. Don't, you ask a question, you should accept we would come up with different answers. And answers you won't like too.
