I don't know what it is, but it seems as if I tend to attract younger women. Indeed, I am looking for a woman closer to my own age who has life experience, etc, however, what is the real big deal in dating someone who is much younger?

mbcasey: It's legal, but a little creepy. But that is just me. This is coming from a 46 year old who dated a 36 year old...
<---hypocrite...
Not quite the same. There's usually a world of difference between a 19 and 36 year old.
I haven't voted, but I don't believe age is just a number. If my daughter were 19 and came home with a 36 year old I would be a little worried if I'm honest.
Same applies to my son though. If he were 19 and came home with a 36 year old woman I'd feel exactly the same.
It is O.K. if you both agree. But I don't see what a grown man has in common with a teenager. Legally it's o.k. But morally, I'd have a problem with it. believe it or not, I have morals.
I stand by my statement that age is not just a number. It is a badge of merit. And I wear mine proudly
God bless you morganlee... and if you all notice so far, a majority of the women who have been voting all think that age is just a number...much different than what I expected and much different than the mentality of people from years ago!
morganlee: i married my husband on my 21 st Birthday he was 35yrs, the age thing was never an issue for either of us, we were married 16 yrs
Hi Morgan. I aprpeciate what you are saying, but can you honestly say the age difference didn't cause waves during the 16 years you were married? Was it a factor in the divorce?
There was only 9 years difference between me and my ex husband, but at times it was a problem, particularly when we got older.

We had 2 children and can honestly say the age was never a problem for us or our families, find it a little strange that when it's a guy wanting an older women the opinion from many is that's ok because he wants an experienced woman but if talking about age as a taboo is that not the same ??

My last partner was 11 years older than me, then to really make matters worse he was American!
I hate to make the age difference the problem, it was there, but the culture differences given that we spoke the same language was immense.
So I have not worked out yet, whether it was the age or the fact that my irony was mistaken for combative and confrontational behaviour,

no it didn't cause waves the reason for the divorce was that he could not remain faithfully throughout the marriage , his inability to keep his trousers on and alcohol were the problem
I won't say that there is no way that a 19 yo girl could possibly be mature enough for me to consider having a long term relationship, but the odds are that they are not.

I think being around you would give me an inability to keep my trousers on as well.....

A 19 year old woman with a 36 year old man.
Here is my take!
He is may well be 25 emotionally, they may well stand a chance.

Nothing. You answered your own question in your own reality...
I can't really say, it's been ages since I have been with anyone younger than me.
I do NOT act my age...I text, I dress according to trends, I do a lot of things people 10 years younger than do and it is fun...I don't lie about my age...age is all about how you act!
I have a very serious job, so to get away and have fun is really what it is all about.
Thanks for your take on my question MR. STRESSFREE! Really, what is the big deal? yes! I agree...
