I am definitley attracted to older men, always have been. The thought of a big gap in a younger man is weird to me. My nephew is 22 and I just don't see having anything in common with a younger guy for long term. I have always related better with men who are either a couple of years older or more.

The funny thing is, My X is the same age as my younger brother and I never seemed to relate to my brother very well. Even though my GF is the same age, she comes from China and all her young life experience is almost a parallel to my Parents early life experience - coal fires, heating water on the stove for bathing, outside toilets, foraging for things to sell - quite funny really

My stbx is almost 16 years younger than me.

We had less in common with every passing year.

His new OW is 20 years younger than me.

Good luck with that...

Im dating a man 15 years my senior, he is a sweet gentleman, that treats a lady like a lady, he doesn't get caught up with the piddly shit. I wouldn't change a thing.. if its the right person its not awkward.

I prefer the maturity of an older man. I'll stick to my age group (I'm 42). I frankly can't imagine a 25 year old kid being able to sustain a conversation with me for long, especially if I hear "like" every other word. And In bed, I'm sorry, but nothing replaces the savoir faire of an experienced and patient older man...

5 years of either side is OK. I would like the woman to be able to get my jokes :-)

I've heard this rule of thumb. Divide the older persons age by 2 and add 7.

So if you are 14, you should be dating a 14 year old. If your 34 the youngest you should go is 24.

My wife was 28 when we met and I was 34. My previous significant relationship was with a woman who was 3 years older. I was 27 when we met and she was 30.

I'm 42 and I couldn't imagine dating a 23 year old. Like what would you talk about, yunno..

`0 years no big deal. 20 no thank you.
Also are we talking Mr. Right or Mr. Right Now. Couldnt resist.

Please allow me to clarify something...

I desire the older man for the 'total package' that is offered... Good loving, stability in relationship and so much more. Oh believe me, I KNOW that you older guys know your way around the bedroom and then some.

One more thing... My have no desire to be involved with a younger man again because to me, going younger just doesn't give me what I desire in a relationship.

I look at my ex right now and he is so unstable in his thinking, in EVERYTHING... there is just no way in the world...

I WILL BE 37 IN 1 MONTH AND MY HUSBAND IS 28. TOMORROW IS OUR 1 YEAR WEDDING ANNIVERSAY. WE HAVE SEPARARTED 3 TIMES IN THE 4 YEARS WE HAVE BEEN TOGETHER. LAST ONE WAS IN FEB, LASTED FOR 1 MONTH. WE ARE STRONG AS EVER NOW. THE AGE DIFFERENCE IS ALMOST 9 YEARS. IT DOESNT MAKE ONE BIT OF DIFFERENCE TO US. I HAVE BEEN IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM SINCE HE WAS 20. (WE HAVE A 7 YR OLD) BUT WE HAVE BEEN SERIOUS FOR THE PAST 4.

Hello a 40 year old is not dating a 20 year old.. he is f_cking her..... sowing his wild oats so to speak...lets get real here. this is not really a "relationship" it has no chance of success... really folks.. lets call a spade a spade...

My husband was seven years younger than me. It was never really a problem before the Whore. I attributed him cheating to his being younger. I thought maybe he felt like he missed out or something.

I just want a man who's living and breathing and with a few other traits for sure, but those are the top two at this point in my miserable life.
