Sorry, i meant "attempted to like men" (although what i have there works too, it's just not what i was going for there)

Hey there and welcome!


Well, I know when I was 18 I dated a woman who was 39......and at age 20 I dated a woman who was 42. I also liked older women.....however.....now that I am in my mid 40's, the thought of dating someone that young doesn't do it for me....I would feel awkward. But then again, I also would feel really weird dating someone in their 60's so my age preference to older women has really come down a number of years...lol.,...I like to stay roughly 5-7 years within my age either way, but of course, that isn't etched in stone.

Personally, if it works for you and others who do this, more power to y'all!! My sister is actually married to a man who is going to just turn 30 next month and she is 44. It works for them, so cool.

All my best to you! :)

if that is what you like why not . i have always stayed in my age group, but i would date someone older than me before i would date someone younger.

I too have always been attracted to older women--- the biggest age difference has been 7yrs. However now that I am 40 the idea of dating someone my age or younger is not such a foreign idea anymore.
So, in my opinion, age differences are just numbers ( as long as it's legal! ) However the older person in my past relationship did feel threatened by the possible whims of my youth. Although our 3yr. relationship ended, it had more to do with her personality... not her age.
Welcome to the group!

i dont think age really marries its about how a person acts and there personality im 34 and my partner is 46 and we balance each other. before we got together she was the wild child party animal (well before she got sick) out every night not cating about tomorrow and do as you pleaseand i was more the stay at home every night with a book old woman tendencies worry constantly every day about each second of the day but we balance each other she doesnt go out as much cares alot more for herself and i have actually ventured out of my house more and we have even partied together too its a strange balance she brings me some youth and i bring her focus and clarity so dont worry about age its all about personality age is really just a number

Well age doesnt matter in my case i am 21 and im in a serious relationship with my girlfriend Angela and she is 37 its a 15 year age gap, i too like older women .I love my older babe! She is very experienced if u know what i mean *wink* .

Hey, welcome

Well I've always stayed in my age group. I've never dated anyone older but have dated a couple of women younger than me. I guess age doesn't matter as long as both parties have similar interests and can actually have a decent conversation then it's all good to go..

Judging solely on my own personal experience it can work. there are definity added challenges when theres alarge age gap. My girlfriend and i are 17 years apart from eachother, and usually its a nonissue, but somtimes things will come up that make that difference glaringly obvious. But if you and the other person want it bad enough to make it work, go for it.

The 'match' comes from an internal place. Spiritual, Intellectual, Emotional compatibilities are Key. After being with someone 12 years younger than myself for a long time, I find being around people who know the same history (The Beatles, JFK, Quotes n' Sayings, Familiar with the same music, etc.) is quite refreshing.

The only thing I'd add here is that our bodies have a biological pattern that can't be denied. Change of life, menopause (pre/post), child-bearing years, basic health issues, etc. all have a huge influence on our psyche and will effect our partnerships. It's very important to be aware and sensitive to these totally undeniable and uncontrollable issues.

My spouse is 9 years older than I am, and I so appreciate her life experiences, and the wisdom and maturity that she brings into our relationship.

I used to be attr. to women my age and older women when I was in my late teens and twenties. Now that I am elderly, I am attracted to women much much younger. I mean 20's and 30's. I am too many years to count. Weird isn't it. I have more in common with younger women and can talk to them more comfortably. I feel uncomf. around women closer to my age, even women in their 40's-mid-late 40's. They are much younger than I as well. No one would want someone my age. Go with your heart. Usually ppl. feel most comf. with their age grp. but not always.
