I go with the "1/2 + 7" formula. Thus, someone who is 20 years old shouldn't be dating anyone younger than 17. That's common sense, otherwise you might find yourself on a sex offender registry list. If you don't want people to think you're "robbing the cradle," follow the formula: No one 30 years old should be dating anyone younger than 22 (8 years difference) No one 40 years old should be dating anyone younger than 27 (13 years difference) No one 44 years old should be dating anyone younger than 29 (there's your 15 years difference) No one 50 years old should be dating anyone younger than 32 (18 years difference) No one 58 years old (my age) should be dating anyone younger than 36 (22 years difference), but I don't think I'd be interested in dating anyone younger than 45, that's just me. If you're a 58 year old man and you can get a 36 year old woman to notice you at all then good for you! No one 60 years old should be dating anyone younger than 37 (23 years difference) No one 100 years old should be dating anyone younger than 57 (43 years difference) Neat how that works, innit?  Bringing a child into the relationship is much more complicated. A lot to consider there and I've already typed enough, so I'll just say "good luck." |

What does it matter what others think..
Do what makes you and who ever you are with happy... Have news for a few women 38 and older can still have kids if they want to... My step mom was 41 when my little sister was born.. I know plenty that one is much older then the other yet they get along better then those that are around the same age.. If it ain't your life then one should not worry what others do.. Anything can work out if two people want it to....

What does it matter what others think.. Thankyou for having an open mind. I've read some of your other forum posts you're logical. Do what makes you and who ever you are with happy...

gotta disagree with some of you. my husband was 18 years younger than me. we both had children from previous marriage. he was truly my soul mate. he was "old" for his age, and I was young at heart. We were married 25 exciting, wonderful hard-working years with travel, sex, fun, goofy stuff, hobbies and companionshio. 25 years before God separated us. it depends entirely on the people involved. Thank you for sharing I think some of the best relationships I’ve had were with big age differences so sorry for your loss

Age difference in marriage is most important. Especially if it's 15 years. In Just dating it may work out much better. Because dating is Not a committed relationship. A. 50 yr old woman shouldn't marry a 35 yr old man. (For example ,) If a man is 50 and woman is 35 doesn't matter !  But...wait...why doesn't it matter? Double standard...hypocrisy? If a woman wants to marry a guy much younger than her....why shouldn't she? It's not more weird/ creepy/ strange than the guys marrying/ dating women who are young enough to be their own biological child, or, even worse...*grandchild*...  If you think otherwise, then that is purely sexists and hypocritical.. P.S. Not everyuone who gets married wants kids, so...take that out of the equation. Don't women naturally live a bit longer than men? If so, I think we should marry younger and then we can have our spouses longer. With that being said.. My dad is 10 years older than mom. Its worked well for them. It's a personal preference. |
