Topic: Is there any problem dating a partner older than you are?

I've come to realize that many men are afraid to date or go in a relationship with a woman older than they are simply because of inferiority complex. For me, I don't see any problem with it. I believe what matters most is understanding and commitment. If you have any contrary opinion to this topic or in support of it, kindly drop your comments.

Not too much older in the 50+ bracket. I've had several older girlfriends by just a few years and no big deal. If they can keep up and don't need a nanna nap every day, well OK. I could do with a hot gilf right now.

It is not age! It is all about attitude and physical shape. I know this 70+ gal that still has nice legs and wears her skirts to show them. Also an 80+ who can still rip up the dance floor. You are as old as you make yourself out to be. The first time you say "I'm too old for that" you are old!!!

Most men Young or Older, desire. a Young. woman. They are not afraid for a relationship with older women , they don't want one. Problem is older men cannot usually get young women Because they want Young men:!

So some of us older men just spend our time alone because there are so few older women with a positive attitude and in decent shape!! The few older women that are desirable have a hubby who adores them and are not available or can attract a younger man. The rest of the older women are just a lost cause.

I've already dated one guy who had a heart attack and another who had a stroke.

Old men think when they are with a younger woman that she's got stars in her eyes let me break it down for you grandpa those are dollar signs . .

I know what you are saying is sometimes true and sets an expectation. I also know a number of older guys that are just what you describe - I have no idea why anyone would consider dating them. The truth on both sides is that stereotypes don't fit everyone. Judge based on what you see not what your expectations are.

You must be referring to all those 30 year olds that message me regularly. Seems like there are some common threads about phone numbers, email addresses, and how poor they are. Lots of BS but not much follow through.

you never know if you might 'click' until you get to know the individual, their age, race, nationality ... etc cannot tell you in advance. So no, age is not 'a problem' unless the person makes it their problem.

oldkid46 Now now....That does not sound like a good attitude. : I agree that is not a positive attitude but has become the reality of life and I don't think I'm alone in that reality. You of great wisdom, tell me what type of venue I should visit on Saturday evening where I will find date-able ladies between 55 and 70 and have an opportunity to meet them?
