I’m 36 but am often told I look a lot younger. I tend to prefer older men in general but I have dated much younger as well. I am okay with that. It is really based on the individual as some younger men can be very stoic and mature and some older men can be quite silly and childlike at times. It’s all good. It’s based more on life experience and what you have chosen to take from those experiences.

Think about this...dating older women is all great and wonderful, but I personally am 13 years older than you and when you are my age I would be into my fifties and so on and so forth
1 - a generational gap such as that can be straining upon a relationship
2- you being younger and me being older if I were to become ill you would be stuck caring for an older other half

all of this would put time constraints and stress upon you when you should be enjoying a relationship and not caring for another, just a thought

and no I am not prejudiced about younger gentlemen

That's why dating younger works .. men die first

Well SURE...if I looked like Tina Turner! Heck, that is some incredible lady!!!

From what I hear this "true love" thing some people speak of...all of that wouldn't matter.

Age is simply mind over matter...if you don't mind, it don't matter. I like younger men, my sons father is 12 years younger. I have dated a few younger men and a few my age. I have a lot more fun with younger men.

Very good point!

Because we WANT to!

Understood but I never wish to a burden

Fair enough, the beauty of choice is they are your choices.

You don't date younger?

Damnit.

I dont think that he would be prejudiced either I hope

Me? I date anything from 18-not dead...I don't discriminate, however where I live it is difficult to date anyone under 23 as there isn't the level of commitment in this general area (ie. you made a mistake, we won't talk about it, I'm done with you)...of the dozen or so dates I've been on here, they all have ended in that same scope. As my headline says "You don't really know what you want, and I'm not here to play around until you find out.". I won't be the sideline anymore, I am not going to settle with 'when it is available' either we work through issues (my choice) or we don't (their choice).

Hmmmmmmmmm 23....Im 43,,,,,,I cant see it happening other than using you for nothing but sex.

And that dear Duane, is the #1 reason younger guys date older more established women. We DO actually know what we want .. oh ya babyyyyyy.

I've been used for lesser things.

Lol but thats just it!! I would use a person that age for nothing but sexual purposes and probably break his heart. And I dont want to break anyone's heart. That being said, most of the men I have dated and even married were a few years younger than me but not by 20 years!!!

Personal discretion, your choice is just that...your choice. Works for some, doesn't work for others.

I was married to a man 6 years younger than myself. I guess it has a lot to do with the maturity level of the younger person, but haveing done that, I WON`T EVEN DATE SOMEONE YOUNGER AGAIN!

I dont want to babysit anyone......unless I get paid!!!
