If you are or if you were single now would you date a younger man?
Probably not. I need someone to stimulate my intellectual side. I want a conversation that excites me in and out of bed...just don’t see that happening with a younger man, but I could be wrong.
true! I shouldn’t make comments on things I haven’t tried! Good luck to you in your new adventures! Have fun girls!
In addition, to my above comment...after giving it some thought...I was just answering the question that was posed by Yana. I was offering my opinion, for myself...not judging anyone else’s life choices. As for why I said what I said. I enjoy living my life with my spouse. He and I are the same age and we have the same points of reference. I don’t have to explain high school references...we just smile when a favorite song comes on the radio...even though we didn’t attend the same high school...that same feeling is there. We don’t have to explain things that happened in the 70’s because we experienced them...that is what I was referring to...so I’m not knocking anyone elses choices, I was answering the question for myself, about myself. So, please don’t be offended by what I am saying...it isn’t meant to offend it is offered as an opinon, mine...it doesn’t mean we have to agree. Have fun and enjoy your life whatever and wherever it leads! Do what makes you happy! That is why I love this forum...it let’s us all express our own feelings and opinons.
hello————certainly no offense taken and you are so right about this forum. It allows up to have an opinion to share, learn about new things and help others! thanks for your comments!!
Thanks...and I agree with Yana...if you are enjoying your relationship that is what matters! Don’t worry about what other people think, life is much too short!!!
No I wouldn't. I married one :) I used to say I would never date anyone younger than me. Who wants someone who will always be trying to get where I've already been. Then I met a wonderful guy who was thoughtful, considerate, and very respectful in an old fashioned way. He didn't feel the need to wear 'macho' on his sleeve and the way he carried himself displayed confidence, not arrogance. I assumed he was my age and at the most maybe only a year or two younger. Imagine my surprise to find out he was 24 when we met. At the time I was 31. So I had a choice to make when he asked me to marry him. Did I want to turn him away simply because of his age even though he was everything I ever hoped for (believe me ladies - at the time I was NOT looking), OR did I want to take happiness in the package I found it in and go on down the road as they say. I am happy to report that almost ten years and two kids later, we are still together and very happily married.
I dated a very nice young man 15 years younger. What came into play was he though it would be weird to have kids together since mine were close to his age. He said he would not do that to his kids. I was devasted... we were together over a year hwne this happened.
I guess my first question before I comment would be:
how much younger are we talking? I am turning 52; but have the exhuberance of a younger woman...(from what I’ve encountered).
People say, age doesn’t matter as long as you‘re in love“... in love, or “in lust“.... remember if we‘re just talking dating, we can all learn from younger men, and we can also learn from older men. I have dated men from 35 to 55... they all had their own uniqueness. I tend to be attracted to men in their mid 40’s.
Actually for those of you who don’t know...I am ecstatically happily married to a man who is 7 years my junior...And to think I once broke things off with him because of the age difference...I’m glad he knocked some sense into me...lol
Hack no! For a “call” once in awhile, that’s ok. For future mate, I prefer a mature man!

I believe that maturity comes with experience..not age..I dated men upwards of 50(my oldest daughter’s daddy was 18 years older than me...don’t ask...lol?) but was way less mature than my current hubby..And as far as I can tell...the man still hasn’t grown up..
I guess I’d be open to it-can’t rule someone out just because of their age. I typically like older men though. My husband is 8 years older. They seem to know what they want out of a woman and out of life.

the younger guys definately keep you busy!!! hahah I would recommend if you have an opportunity to at least entertain the idea. I currently spend time with a guy 12 years younger and he definately keeps me feeling young!. I agree, maturity is key and I dont think an older guy audimatically has maturity!
I agree anon...I’m living the proof..my hubby is mature beyond his years..maybe because he was a single dad for so long...
I must clarify... the age gap I am referring to is 10 years or more younger. So if it is just within a range of 9 and under, I guess I would consider, but if I am 10+ older than him - kind of out of questions for me - he would be just a sling for me.

Of course! My husband is a few years younger than me. I also think it depends on the man. Even if we were several years apart, my husband is maturer than me so it wouldn’t make a difference. I’ve dated men my age and older that were the biggest babies - no thanks.
Right now I’m comfortable with 10 years younger than me, not even sure how many years older than me I prefer. Time will tell.

If I were single, yes I would date a younger man. I’m 45 so I would go no younger than 30.
I honestly don’t know now, because I did date a younger man once and it was disastrous, but listening to some of your happier comments may re-open my mind to the possibility...but still God would have to send him...
I am with you on this soulful! i was with a man 15 years my jounior, and let me tell you.. he had more class, and confidence then most men my age! he was amaizing! we were friends, and became lovers, and then he was stationed over in Japan.. we are very close friends today!
