I'm entertaining the notion of dating older women. I want to expand my dating horizons, see whats out there. I don't mean too much older than me, up to 35(11 yrs older). Are there unwritten rules that are followed? Does anyone have any experiences, good or bad? Or if anyone is interested?

I would consider dating someone between 45-55. I think a 10 year span is good. I'm 49. I've gone out with older men than 55, just not the same....

Well I'm 27 and my fiance is 51, but we have chemistry unlike any other man I've ever been with. It just depends if you're willing to look past the age and see the heart.

at the end a man is a man and a woman is a woman.
what matters if both of u have the same interests in life.

To me age is irrelevant
its how two people get along
that is most important
i myself would date anyone within a 10 to 15 year age difference range

Derrek -- in my opinion -- if two people like each other, it really doesn't make a whole lot of difference how many times either one has ridden the planet around the sun.

I've dated from 14 years younger to 16 years older, and every one of them (well, with the possible exception of my ex-wife)was an actual, complete person, not a statistic. Some were more actual and complete than others, but that's going to happen with any statistical sampling!

But some people won't date anyone outside of a certain age range, and that is certainly their right -- everyone has the right to set their own preferences. I have some of those myself, and they are pretty rigid, but mine are not based on age. I think it's important to recognize that, whatever parameters we set, we DO risk the possibility of excluding someone really good. I mean, you mention 35 as an age ceiling, but what if someone who was 37, but really great otherwise, came along? These things can happen.

Not trying to get you to change your mind or anything, just trying to show that there may be the occasional gray area!

when I was about 23 I started dating a woman that was 35. We went out for several months and had a geat time. It was an experience that I wouldn't trade for anything... Well, maybe for Bill Gates bank account, but not for anything less.

I date men as long as they are older than my children and they are mature.

When I was 25, I dated a man who was 6 months older than my father. To put it into perspective, I was a new widow and nobody close to my age had any IDEA what I had gone through.

Anyhow,it was great for about a year.... but then, we started to both notice that neither of us had any clue, culture-wise, what the other was talking about a lot of the time. He would reminisce about things that happened before I was born and I would mention something that he was too...let's say "mature" to grasp. It quickly fell apart after that.

I would say if you like one another, go for it. Just be aware that there are things you'll have to take into consideration.

I dated someone who was almost 10 years older and it felt the same to me as dating someone who was my age. It all depends on the person and what u have in commom with eachother.

Hi Derrek, Im 59 years old I get more emails from guys Alot younger than me , Alot more than guys my age, Prefur men my age ,more in common, My advise to u Is Go for it ,U LONLY LIVE ONCE, Have fun and enjoy life at your age, Its all Infront of u TAKE It and have fun.

Well Derrek, as long as you're doing it for the right reasons it's cool. As you probably already know some young men date older women because their looking for a mother figure, or a suger mama, or a woman to take care of them.

I myself have an internal struggle going on in my own life because I just met a man who is 14 years younger than I am, but the chemistry is off the friggen chain.

I've decided not to fight it (because I just can't) and go with the flow and just see what happens. I'd never dated anyone younger than me, always my own age or older, and this is freakin me out internally. I wasen't looking for a younger man or seeking out younger men, or anything, it just happened.

hmmmmmmmmmm younger men.........do they do dishes????

oh, men that do dishes...now there's a find! ok, where's the line for those??? hmmm....


<<--wandering around looking for the line.

Age is a # like spagetti is a word, If we learn from each other, and not let society dictate to us, Take chances,happiness is where we find it, remember we only go around the block of life once, Put lots of love, and laughter in it

Hugh Hefner, Donald Trump, etc. When an older, wealthy man marries a much younger woman, its based entirely on personality, right? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Good Luck to you too! You'll need it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It far more acceptable in society if its an older man and younger woman....

i prefer 35-48 (i am 46)
it just depends on the person or people involved

damn am going to be 41 this november..

i'll be 40 in 2 1/2 years
