Aaron, there is always a reason a woman or girl, doesn't mention those things. In this case, as in most, it's a high school issue ... every high school girl who gets attention from an older man, see's this as true love, for life, it's never about sex with girl much younger and although it may be the first older guy to give her attention you hear the same remark " i like dating older men." It's just to bad women have such little interest in studies, save them a dam lot of heartache, right from the mouthes of men themselves, who use these foolish girls at will. Statistics are scarily accurate, the reason we keep and do them is that they predict the future almost perfectly, they show where and how societies change and we keep statistics on everything, older men may date or use younger women ... but marrying them is at an all time low and even those marriages don't work out long term.

Without playing games, don’t be available 100% of the time or let your life be an open book. A man that comes on too strong or doesn’t have outside interests will scare a woman away just as much as it would if the circumstances were reversed. Read here https://tr.im/MoBrp



Women don’t want to feel as though they are completely responsible for your happiness and that is what it feels like when the other person has no outside interests. Men who are overeager or jump when the woman says jump are the ones who are more likely to end up in the friend zone. This doesn’t mean that you should play the game of not calling for a few days; it means that you should set healthy boundaries until you both naturally find a spot for the other in your lives.

Although, it's true that older men are more experienced with life and love, it doesn't always mean that they will treat you right. As with any man or woman, the relationship could range from dismal and abusive to fulfilling and loving. Another thing you might want to look at is the age. If you are 21 and he is 31, your life priorities might not be the same and that might cause a clash. But, if you are 28 and he is 38, you two might click well, despite the age same difference. So, quite contrary to common opinion, the ages of the involved people matter more than the age difference.

Also, you might want to be sure whether or not you are dating them for the money or for the stability and level-headedness they bring into a relationship.

As long as the relationship isn't abusive, I believe ages can just add more depth to a relationship. Maybe dating an older man will teach you that they're less magically intelligent and charming than you thought and such. In any case, every relationship is an opportunity to learn something, and that's all that matters. You'll probably break up, but you leave having learned something about yourself or the world.

Dating an older man surely has many positive sides, since first and most important he is much more experienced from life, rather than a young boy. And secondly if you are interested in a serious relationship, a younger boy will only look at you for sex, instead an older man will consider many other aspects that a life has other than only sex.

I'm happily married to a man 28 years older than me. We're in love and that's all that matters. People are so brainwashed these days though that they instantly start thinking there's something wrong with it, or we're together for wrong reasons.. It's BS.. if two people are in love and want to be together, they should be :)

There is nothing wrong with that. If you want to be with an older man, its pretty normal. Older men have experienced many things in their lives, they have seen a lot of things through their eyes and are not like children. They are able to love women like other younger boys do. They can be the best partners, because they dont want to play and just to have fun, they look for a serious relationship. In my opinion, you can learn quite a few things from older men, they can be your friends and good partners, at the same time. They are intelligent, they have already found themselves in their lives, where they wanna be, what they wanna do, what they enjoy doing and are ready to form a very serious relationship If they fall for someone and I think that being right beside an older man, of course, If you truly love that person, and want to be with him for the rest of your life, you should go for it, just stick at it and you`ll get there.Its your life honey and you have to make a decision, you have to make a choice, of course you must consider the advices that are given to you by your family members and your close friends, because they only want all the best for you and they may help you, when you find it difficult to decide something. You must be with the man who you are in love with, you must consider and think over before taking a serious step in your life, you know that every now and then, some people say that being with an older man is not normal, but they are wrong, because it doesn`t make a huge difference when it comes to love, there`s no a problem like,, and the age''? If you love, you love it completely and thats all, of course, through my view-point, the only one thing you may think about is the age difference, and how about other things, there`s nothing wrong with that. You should be with someone who you respect and love. I think this is pretty normal. Always be careful before making decisions, and listen to your heart, dont get me wrong, but If you wanna be with older men, just to have fun, you must do what you think is right. I have told you about true love and feelings. Wish you the best of luck honey

U dont hv to worry about people opinion, think about what u feel. But i hv advice for u. make sure u both know what u want and your plan.



I was in a relationship with a guy 7 years older than me. It was perfect at the beginning but it turned into a problem because of the age gap. He was focusing to hv his own child and he thinks I'm still fooling around when I'm already serious about him. The reason for that is because I'm still young and he's older. after that things are not the same anymore because he always think I'm young and I still want to hv fun.
still trying to figue it out

I think to each his/her own. Be with whoever is going to make you happy and in return you make happy. Now with that said for my own personal relationships I have a cut off age or about 13-15 years. This is for one very simple reason, if you are old enough to be my parent I just can't do the relationship thing. It's a mental block I have. Now this last point is just an observation and not a one size fits all response. People who are in different life stages are often faced with obstacles that may not face a more closely aged couple. For example lets say she is 56 and he is 32, so a 24 age gap, he wants kids she can't have kids. Yes I know there are ways to overcome this kind of situation, but my point is that often this difference in life stages leads to wanting different things and the eventual unhappiness/parting of ways.

Age doesn't matter. You can fall in love whenever you want (or even when don't expect it!). Basically, the age doesn't make the weather. It's just a convention. We're free people in modern world. Open and globilized. Age? Are you kidding me? A guy in his early 40s was so rude and stupid to me today in a cafe that I lost my speach for an instant. And you talk about age. If he's an idiot - he can never grow up of it. Person is the main point. Many meet in 50 in the Internet in http://kovla.com Many young people cannot find a proper person, we should just search better. Good luck!

I love older men! I think it's partly because, when i was 18 i took a job as a secretary at a car dealership with a lot of older men salesman, and i really found myself attracted to them. I was dating a guy in college at the time on and off and he was really treating me bad. Anyways when i saw how mature and polite older men can be, it really got my attention. I have never dated one yet, but i hope to find a guy maybe late 50's. Im 24 btw.

older men are no big deal. Keep the old men but also try the ones that are close to your age. Remember, sex and life are not same. Sex is part of life. you dont want to hangout with someone who wont run with you or hike with you or spend life with you. You dont even know how great it is to have sex with a young dude. I have 5-6 times sex a day with my gf and i am 24 and she is 23. We both have a lot of energy.



Remember, if you have daddy issue, dont stretch it. Your dad may have saved your life several times but your dad is not your partner. Even though your dad understands you more than any other dude but he cannot be your sexual fantasy. Same goes for old men. Try young dudes, you will love it. Be active, dont be a couch potato. Be active, go for travel and swim in the ocean.

George Clooney is hot

Fck the age difference

If he's hot (or you love him) why should anyone cares? Why should you care?

Now, get out of here and go have a good sex with him until he dies of a heart attack

(take a look she's talking about dating and not spending the rest of her life with a older men, but in my opinion dating or spending the rest of your life with older mens is quite ok)

I go for the slightly older ones because they are more mature, and as they are older they can look slightly sexier and more manly. However, not when a huge age gap is noticeable because you want to look cute together too. I tend to say try out a relationship and if it doesn't work, at least you have had a go.

I have dated 2 men who were both 20 years older than me. It takes men longer to mature than women so it is natural to like older men because they have the same mentality as you. Age is just a number. As long as it isn't for the money or security and is for love then there is nothing wrong with it. Live your life honey bun and stop caring too much what the world thinks is socially acceptable.

For me It's o.k to date an older man as long as the older man I am dating with is matured enough.

He doesn't talk like a child, act like a child, think like a child and wants attention like a child.

Dating if for enjoying some fine time away from otherwise boring ordinary routine life, I suggest to date with a matured and elderly man. It will definitely a thrill and u will like to prolong as long as possible. Elder man entertains u in a better ways that too as per your needs. Evem his touching you will take u to joy and your touching him will be more pleasure for u and indeed thrilling. Of course the person should be known to you and smart looking and good manners. Even married women can enjoy such thrilling moments in life often.

When I was 19 I dated a guy that was 32. It was incredible. I say, do what your heart tells you so long is it is legal. :) And have fun. But be prepared. A lot of times guys go out with women much younger than them because they only want to have fun. So, be open about your expectations and don't take any crap. If you want something serious and he just wants fun you have a right to say no and vice versa.

Lots of young women are dating older guys. They don't want the drama and immaturity guys thier own age bring to a relationship. As long as you're comfortable dating older guys, go for it, but try to stay within 10 yhears qage gap unless you're more mature and match up well in maturity levels with them.

Age difference is not a big thing.



But, there are some young women who date men who are over seven years older and the men end up harming the lives of the ladies even more than younger men.



Just be careful..

My daughter's ( who is 28 years old mother of two ) father remarried recently less then a year after the death of his wife of 19 years ( they have a 17 year old daughter ) the new wife is 22 years old ( he is 44 years old ) and he and his deceased wife were her youth group teachers in church ( he is also a Deacon in this church). Come to find out she is now pregnant as well. My daughter refuses to speak to him and has told him to his face that he is a pervert and wants nothing to do with him. She will not let him see her sons either. I personally think its more slimy that he and the other wife were her youth group leaders when she was a child/teenager and that their 17 year old daughter was her friend and their nephew had dated the young lady as well. I think this "church" is a bit odd as they and the parents of this girl support this. So as for your question I guess for me it depends on the situation and the people. The age thing may not be the worst part of it lol.

Bad idea if:

They take Viagra so the can pee on the front of their shoes..

If having sex is like putting a raw oyster in a slot machine.

Only income source is social security.

Disregard all of the above if he has no wife of ever had children worth millions and you always *** first!.

The biggest age gap I've had was 16 years. This guy didn't act 16 years older. He was very down to earth and real, and I loved him. I still love him, but we did break up due to personal reasons, which weren't related to his age. We remain friends though

I think some girls find it better to go for a guy who is older. I have two female friends with whom I sometimes go for lunch with but don't date. They are both mid 20s and I find they enjoy my company and as they know I'm older and hopefully wiser they turn to me if they need advice on various things. They even discuss sexual matters with me without feeling uneasy. When I was in my 30s I dated a couple of much younger girls, one was 14years younger and the other was 12 years younger and they were both great relationships. Follow your instincts and try it.

It does depend on how much older we are talking. First of all we have to be rational, as if you are really serious about a person, remember they will only get older quicker than you. But if your heart is satisfied then I suppose nothing else really matters

If so many girls date older men but rarely an older women date younger guys, this means the age becomes important.. I don't understand why people say the age is just a number, the age is not important etc... if this applies in most cases only when the woman is younger than the man.

Personally, I think the psychological maturity doesn't depend on the person's gender, it depends on the experiences and the life style and other factors, but not the gender...

I see nothing wrong about it--well, unless it is like a 20 year old with a 40-50 year old, then yeah that is clearly not okay in my book. I can see why dating older men, like someone 10-15 years older, for multiple reasons: maturity; financially supports self; career; family orientated; wanting to settle down, both, marriage and/or children.

Well I am 18 and I am dating a 53 year old guy. He is great and very kind and understanding. He is great in bed, but sex is not why I love him. I love him because he is caring and a very intelligent man. We have many great discussions and he is the most caring person I know. He is not just caring for me, but he is very caring to others as well. He has a high flying job and is highly educated. He gives a lot of money to charities, which I think sums him up, he is very selfless. We are madly in love with each other. I think that dating an older guy is fine as long as he genuinely treats his girl well and is genuinely in love with her. I couldn't of wished for a better partner than my man. My parents love him as well, because he is so kind and interesting. We both love each other and the age difference is just a number.
