Hi!
I need your help. Tell me what you all think of older women and younger men having a relationship. Younger men, what is too old for you? Would you tell a woman you were older than you are to get a date with her? Older women, what is too young for you? And anybody, what do you think of the age difference thing? Does it matter? Should it? Do you see any difference bewteen the older man/younger woman thing as oppsed to the older woman/younger man thing? If you guys answer this question for me, I will tell you why I want to know.
Thanks.
Meg

My brother and late sister-in-law were an older woman/younger man combo. She was 20 years older than he, and a month younger than our mother. Her children are actually older than my brother. I know this sounds a little Jerry Springerish, but they had a great relationship, and were very well suited to each other. I don't think relationships should be a matter of age. I think its what you find appealing in a person and your level of compatibility that matter. Or what you are attracted to in general. If you like old men, hey. Go for it. If you like young boys--go for that as well. Speaking from experience, they are as eager as little puppies to please in any manner possible.
LOLOL, that's what I need, an eager little puppy. I have never had one of those before. At least not since I was an eager little kitten myself.
I don't think that the experience you describe had anything to do with age, some people just enjoy holding you back and some enjoy seeing you succeed. That has nothing to do with where you are in life as much as it has to do with maturity in general.
By the way...Jerry Springerish? I didn't think so...now I am beginning to wonder.

Well, some people are not very open to hearing about those situations. She once told me she felt like Mrs. Robinson meeting the family for the first time (and she wore a leopard print shirt too, which just seals the comparison) because she was so much older than he was. Ultimately, they were a great match regardless of age. I think that is so much more important. My husband is 8 years older than I am (my eager puppy days are over) , and to some even that sounds like a huge age difference. Its all in who you are and how well you mesh.
I think it depends entirely on the priorities people have for their relationship and what they want to get out of them -- in other words, it's an individual thing, no "one size fits all" answer. I personally prefer to date men either my age or older just so we'll know what each other is talking about culturally -- I can't imagine having to explain who those other three guys are in the picture with Paul McCartney, or having someone else have to explain to me the difference between Hip Hop and Rap (I'm told there IS one).
I had a male coworker who is younger than me become suddenly smitten with me right before he got married (I guess I was going to be his "last fling" or something), and he asked me if it was true that older women make better lovers. I told him I didn't know, because I've never been to bed with one.
Purp,
I am truly sorry for her. When Rick and I wanted to have a child of our own (If I can't have a baby with you, I don't ever want one with any other woman. Yeah, right.) and I was late, I always got hopeful. Even if it is something you never planned, you still do start to dream a little and that can be so sad when you are disappointed. Maybe she will be in the mood to go for it on purpose now!
Best of luck,
Meg
my wife is 15 years older then I am. No problem with that. She is beautiful as she ever was.
