Is that ok, if an adult woman dating with much more younger adult man? (124)
Are you worried about what people will think? I prefer younger men and have met someone 15 years younger than I am
PrettyPrescious: Are you worried about what people will think? I prefer younger men and have met someone 15 years younger than I am

Ah, Molly be a sweetheart and just tag them when they come in for their 24 hour release day trip.
Hei, I'm single. I just want to know why younger man want to get along with older woman. Since I concern with long term relationship, how long could be this kind of relationship last. Will at some point the man reach their maturity or whatever and rethinking about the relationship.

Sometimes it just works.
There was a couple who lived in my town. She was about 15 years older than him.
He was gorgeous looking, and she was a bit life-worn looking.
When they got together, we all thought it couldn't possibly last.
We were proven wrong.
They absolutely adored each other always. Were inseparable.
Some people are just able to love the spirit of the person, not just the body.

I thought that old busted spring mattress and frame riddled with woodworm got ditched a little while back, had a complaint from the old greek geezer, said he had scratches on his backside from the springs poking through. Poor old mucker, he'll survive.

I think you already know the answer.
Personally, I only know one couple where she's 12 years older and they've been together for over 20 years. Among all the other people that I know, those who dated either older or younger didn't last very long. They all start out saying: oooh, my case is different, my case is special, my girl/guy isn't like that, bla bla bla and in the end, they weren't so special afterall.
If you're looking for someone serious who is potential marriage material to have children with, your best chance to find what you want is to look at someone very close to your own age and not waste time on someone who's not yet grown up/established or an old fogie who's looking for a second spring.

So in essence, you're saying it works out about as often as it does in any other sort of relationship.

Not really, because the people that I know who are in steady relationships or married successfully are all very close in age. I know it's "PC" to say it's all an individual thing and it's true, but the odds are stacked against you with big age differences. What odds would you give a 22 year old guy dating a 33 year old girl for them to have a serious long-term with marriage potential? as opposed to a 33/33 year old couple based on your experience and knowledge of how young guys think and behave?

Disregarding any PC sentiments, I do believe it's all down to the individuals involved. I have seen couples with huge age differences work out very well, still going strong after 20 years.
As for the 22 year olds, whether they be male or female, I'd suggest for them to not get married for another decade, at least.
The world has changed, and so have views on relationships of every nature, even the traditional style that so many lament that has all but died in modern times. Maybe it deserved to die, maybe it was high time for people to go out and live life the way they want to. I never understood why so many seem to want to poo poo all over anyone that rejects marriage and monogamy as the only way to live. I really do feel it's unnatural, and that being a man made construct, it shouldn't be forced or enforced upon anyone. Very few can actually go an entire lifetime with the same partner, enduring the hardships that go along with it, especially if there is no love in the relationship. That said, i do know of many that did, and still loved each other until death did them part. Although, most of them ARE dead.

Of course it's up to the people involved. There are no absolutes when it comes to relationships. That's why I talk in terms of probabilities and odds
My feeling reading the OPs posts is that she's looking for something serious, long-term and she's inundated by young guys who (and I know you know this is true
) will say just about anything to get a leg over, regardless of the age of the woman. I think I would be dishonest if I said, for the sake of being pc, to go for something that I honestly don't think has the potential to get her what she wants, you know.I agree with you that times changed and that we now have the freedom to choose the kinds of relationships that we want without suffering a lot of social repercussions, although I'm not entirely sure whether this kind of liberal/progressive thinking is really all that widely accepted across the western world. (Speaking for the US, the middle of the country is very conservative as you know and in Europe, you have pretty much a gradient north-south in terms of attitude with the north being the most liberal).
Sort of an afterthought... at our age, it's actually possible to do a lifetime ('til death do us part) commitment and not worry too much about life's hardships and temptations
(sorry, bit of a morbid joke) 
what is all this blah, blah....... my diaper needs changing.
sunsmile007: It is common that older adult man dating or marriage with much more younger adult woman. But how is it with the opposite? Is it familiar? Is it acceptable?
I just want to die in a chocolate related death. That's all I ask for.
I prefer a woman who is older than me at least by few years. Older woman knows how to treat her man. It is highly unlikely that she would cheat her Bf and mostly they are honest and can make mature and wise decisions. I personally feel that most younger girls lack responsibility and patience .

I'm not sure how common it is but my son's friend married a woman 16 years older than him and she was in a hurry to have kids because she was worried that she'd be too old to have babies. They seem to be pretty happy although she treats him like a son instead of a husband. He seems to like it for now.
I wouldn't marry anyone who is more than 10 years older than me.
Not only is it "ok" for an older woman to date (and be in a relationship with) a younger guy, it's becoming more common than many people think!
I was in a 5 year relationship with a guy who was 17 years younger than me and we loved each other very much and had some good years together. However, financial difficulties and his need to be controlling of all of the decision making & finances in our relationship led me to break up with him last year. I'm hoping to find a guy within the ages of 35 ~ 55 to date and share my life and good times with!

I agree it's getting more common, and there is nothing wrong with it. What other people do is none of my concern and what I do is none of anybody elses' concern, either

Monogamy is an ideal perpetùated by people.
An ideal they want their partner to uphold.

I agree and I do wonder if people are too stupid or too desperate to get it?
twazzle70: So long as both parties are happy it matters not i think... I have however witnessed these relationships go pear shaped in the longer term as a direct result of said age gap....But this has been with age gaps greater than ten years. But how many relationships last forever these days anyway.. If 2 people are happy together they should embrace the happiness i think.
Totally agree

Whatever spins your wheels. If you are both happy and accepting of a significant age difference, then there shouldn't be an issue.
Having said that, it didn't work for me personally. I prefer dating men around my own age.
