So if you say your " just over 40" ...what do you think of going out with girls 15-20 years younger than you.. i have a mate of 43 and he is going out..and going to marry a girl 20 years younger than him ...im in a similar position myself my new girlfriend is 19 years younger ...sometimes at the train station, when im with her i get strange stares ( but i guess that happens anyway in Switzerland)...will she run off . should i take this seriously ..or just enjoy the sex...?
well yes ...but she is nice looking and you think ..why the hell is she interested in me .and you cant be sure she just loves the sex ...or the good time...)) ..she may even have an eye on your wallet...
I know a guy in his mid 70s who's married a Brazilian mail-order bride in her early 30ies. I have difficulty imagining that she's turned on by men of that age but he's getting what he wants, and when he passes on she gets what she wanst which is just as well seeing he can't take it with him. I don't blame either of them.
Dude. Seriously. Here is The Rule. Half your age plus seven.
Is she younger than that? Then you are in violation of The Rule. If she is older than that, you are in the clear.
Are you in violation of The Rule? Then don't be surprised when people's gag reflex kicks in and you are shunned from party invites. Take it from a southern girl, don't break The Rule or it will come back to bite you in the ass. I'm just sayin'.
When I was 22 I dated a guy 16 years my senior, the truth is my parents were getting a divorce and I just wanted to leave home. Things never worked out plus why would I date someone who is going to have prostate problems too soon? Anyhoo...I dumped him because he was dumb
However, a good friend of mine who is (or will be sometime this year) 56, has a girlfriend of 23 (or perhaps she'll be 24 this year) for over a year, so that's 32 years younger!
Works for him, but not for me.
I have a female friend that once told me that she thought -12 was fine when we were discussing such matters (she is only one year younger than I).
My girlfriend thinks that -4/-5 is perfect (surprise, surprise).
Me, I just don't want to date anyone young enough to want more kids.
Meanwhile, my girlfriend's father was 12 years older than her mother (and she was born when he was 49), and I have other friends whose father was 21 years older than their mother, and in both cases they were married (or at least together, her parents lived together for 12 years before getting married) for 50 years or more.
Oh, ok. So you're on the rebound, right? Probably smarting quite a bit, no? Weird though that you would post on an Internet forum for attention.
As for the age difference, I don't see anything wrong with the age gap. Many young women at that age are quite mature, and simply don't want to put up with guys her age. And many old men like yourselves are quite immature and cannot put up with the caliber of women your age. So between the two, the bottom line is if you two get along, there really shouldn't be a problem with it.
there is a flaw in the discussion. If you don't have any scruples dating a 20y younger girl, why would you care about what your environment think about it?
