Age differences between partners

I have dated younger men in recent years and have enjoyed it. Sometimes things change. Fifteen years ago I wouldn't have considered it, but if a guy has his act together in many ways why let age get in the way of things?

 

Men have been doing it for centuries so why not women? I say go for it

 

I would have no problem if my fiance was 10 years older than me (although he doesn't happen to be). I'm not sure when I'd start considering it a problem. Maybe at 15 years or so? I'm not really sure.

As for younger guys, I tend to prefer my guys are older, so I'm not really sure about that. If a guy were even 5 years younger than me he'd still be in college and I'd rather not deal with that!

 

Discriminating against beer drinking frat boys?

 

Yep! Not my type

 

Recently I'd say dating within five years of my age is a lot better for me at this point of my life. No more decade age differences.

 

Never made a difference; in fact, older women tend to be more self aware- quite a sexy quality.

 

Like the way you think. Had a partner way younger than me. It was fantabulous.

 

I concur! love the "dynamics" when it is right. Especially when secure...

 

So long as it is legal and you like each other who cares about age differences?! Go for it.

 

Have dated ten years older but usually date younger. Currently dating 10 years younger.

 

I agree completely. It's a beautiful thing! :smt045

 

age difference

I say as long as youre happy, go for it! I prefer younger men myself,and it was kind of awkward at first,talking to my daughters about it.A couple guys were younger than my youngest daughter,she was 25 at the time.But, as long as im happy, they dont care. Also, ive met men in their 20s, who were more mature than guys in their 30s or 40s. Its all about the whole person.:freehug:

 

Age of the person does not matter.......Just as long when I ask her age, she doesn't hold up both hands and say "This Many". Its all about the connection between two people and nothing more

 

For a purely sexual relationship, or a short term one, age matters very little - only sexual attraction matters. For something longer term that involves more entanglements than just the sexual kind.... a large age gap is not good, but can be worked around if the partners are exceptionally compatible and bonded.

A ten year age difference is indeed a difference, but not an outrageous one. 13-15 years older than me is where I would draw the line as an absolute limit for a serious relationship with a man. Especially as I am getting older myself, I would not want to be with a man who is well into his years of physical decline, while I am still in my prime.

 

Sup gurl?

 

Dated and married older years ago, but now I date younger. Current guy is 12 years my junior. I just click with younger guys better.

 

study came out this week older sperm may not be good sperm in getting a healthy child

 

That has been known for quite a while. The sperm keeps being produced but the quality decreases with age, accompanied by higher risks of health conditions in baby, and also time to conceive increases with age of father, as sperm from older man is not as healthy and vital and does not survive as well the trip to fertilization. A woman on the other hand, just stops ovulating after a certain age.

 

yeah the mans bio clock
