As far as dating older men, I agree there's nothing wrong with it if the relationship is going well.

The only thing I ever thought about was age difference if a lady still wants children. But that's just because my parents were 11 years apart in age, and I heard far to often "Is this your grandpa?" Makes me feel sympathy for children with parents who may not be around as long as others

My ex is 10 years older than myself. But I must say that age doesn't mean more mature. I've dated both older and younger men, and found that they don't all age the same lol.

Actually, all the guys I've been with (except for one or two who were closer to my age) have been older than me. Age usually brings wisdom.....but not always.

My BF is 9 years older than I am. We've been together 4 years. This is my first serious relationship with an older guy. However, we love each other unconditionally. I would not have it any other way.

hentaywee - I'm sure it was hard having people ask you if your dad was your grandpa. There have been a couple of times were people have asked/assumed that my BF was my dad. That was akward and hurt.

I dated older men , I was 19-20s he was in his 40's, couple in their 30's. but I could just not relate. I needed someone to grow with, to go through the same things/stage in life together for the first time (graduation, moving out, engage, marriage, children). I couldn't do that with him, he was like my dad. he also took advantage of me, who seemed to have a stupid fetish... Yes I did feel a sense of security and safety with older men, but everything got dull, no vigor - he is already "settled", no past experience, history to share with. I don't know but that was just me.

My husband is 12 years older than me! I think I've always been pretty mature for my age and I had to find a man that was on the same mental level as me. Something that younger men just don't seem to have.
