Older Women, Younger Men

Post by MetDream »

It seems throughout history that it is perfectly acceptable for older men have a hot young chick on their arm? But what about the opposite? It is "cool" to be a "cougar" for an older woman to be sporting a hot young man on her arm? And if so what is the limits: 5 years, 10, 15, 20 years? Curious to know your thoughts....

I don't think age is really a issue. After all, they say love is blind. As long as it's real and not about one side of the pair hunting for the other's money for example. And if older men hook up with young women, I don't see why it can't be the other way around. I think it maybe looks a bit silly if there is an huge age diffrence between the couple but I don't think that there's anything wrong with it.

nothing wrong with it, melodie. as you might remember, the swine to whom i'm unfortunately still married is considerably younger than me (bigger difference than with you and your man), but it didnt matter. attitude and a meeting of minds is what counts. some older adults are like big kids, and some younger adults are much more mature.

Like written down before: there's nothing wrong with it.
You have to be proud that you still can get some fresh fish!
You're surrounded by some jealous women now, that's for sure.

About those age limits... what is 5 or 10 years when you are 80 and he is 70?
But I don't think you're in that case right? When you are both real adults (I mean +30/35 (sorry kids, listen to ChurchDaddy now)) it doesnt matter at all.
But the oppostite is also true: It's sometimes strange (weird) to see a VERY young boy with an old lady.

Sidenote: Doesn't every woman has to same problem Melodie? A man never grows up...

Doesn't matter about who is older and younger, my Dad was younger than my Mum and they were married for 40 years.

I do think an big age gap can make a big difference though but I think it depends whicxh way around it is. My friend went out with a man who was 20 years older than here, his oldest kid was only 5 years younger than here and there was a noticable generation gap between her and him. Not sure how much of a difference if makes the other way around though, there is a mum at my son's school whose partner is 15 years younger than her, but she is young for her age and he is older than his age (always been like that as well) and they get on great. I think it depends more on the people involved than anything.

Don't think people would really notice nowadays. Of course seeing an Elderly Lady with her young blonde toyboy would probably a little stranger than seeing the opposite! :lol:

Perfectly ok, as long as it's not illegal age-wise. My g/f is much younger than me and I don't see anything wrong with it being vice-versa...not my cup o tea, but whatever floats your boat. :)

I am 5 years younger than my better half & we've been together for 20 years. My mom is 11 years younger than my dad so there isn't anything wrong in my point of view.

Besides, I'm a big kid anyway as more than one person on here can testify to ;)

As long as YOU are happy then I don't see a problem
