I have been out with younger men ( not much younger though; only4 1/2 years) but I don't see what the whole fuss is about. Men have always been able to go with women much younger, but women have not.

Maybe it's because women go through menopause and men don't, and add cultural/societal biases to the mix. I know if the woman is past child-bearing age and the younger man wants biological kids, there can be problems.

Can you think of why the older woman/younger man relationship works or not? What do you think? older woman and younger man

I'm seeing it more and more. Actually it makes sense, women live longer so why not get a younger man :)

I agree. The world at large though, still doesn't like it much, and if they do, then the older woman must look younger. *sighs*
Thanks!

It was fine for me. I was 40 and he was 23. It was a good relationship that lasted 3 years. I wasn't willing to get a tubal ligation reversal and start another family and get married. It was fun while it lasted but he needed to move on and find someone to have the family he longed for. We are still friends. This was us, and may I add I was not bad for 40, lol.

doesn't matter, are both people happy? As long as it doesn't develop into a weird mother thing, it's fine in my book.

In a healthy adult relationship, it shouldn't develop into a weird mother deal. Thanks for sharing!

it is what it is. If they like each other (and are of legal age) then it's their business and no one should judge.

as a male one should have benevolent love and honor to women of higher age as a mark of global relationship and liberate himself from dirty lifestyle to strengthen US intelligence...So " be loyal to what you love, be true to the earth , fight your enemies with passion and laughter" ...

It's just a human being loving another human, no problem. My man is younger a few years, and we're happy.
Ability to maintain the relationship is the big key. Understanding, dialogue, respect and ... all those good parts of a mature relationship!

Why not? Guys do it all the time. Why should it matter if the woman is older? As long as she is not robbing the cradle I see nothing wrong with it. Just be careful ladies, lots of guys looking for a sugar momma.
