What are your thought about dating a younger man? What about getting married to a younger person. I myslef I'm married to a younger person, 15 years younger. I have been married to my husband 17 years and we get along pretty good. What do you prefer younger than you, same age as you, or older than you?

Kalee- I just noticed this discussion in one month old. Your topic is timeless. I think younger men who are attracted to older women are sexy. I think marrying a younger man is sexy. There is that annoying comment that men mature more slowly than women. No one can prove that, although it seems to be the case for most men. If a younger man was interested in me, I'd go for it in a second, as long as I knew he wasn't looking for someone to take care of him. financially or otherwise. What a wonderful relationship you have. Thanks for sharing it with the rest of us and giving us something to think about.

Your welcome anawar, I agree with you, I didn't want to find someone who was going to depend on me because I was older. he has always taken care of me, I have asthma, times that I have gotten a back attack, he has rush to ER. When I was pregnant, I craved the saved ice. he bought me the whole box, he has always been there for me. And he is a very mature person. Though we do make fun of each other, whenever we're at the market, he has the habit of calling me mom in front of other. all I do is laugh. And my daughter is 4 years younger than he is. when she was pregnant with my grandson, all three would go out while I was at work, him, and my two daughters. They thought that they were married. My oldest sees him as a father figure, he has always been there for her, when she got married, he walked her down the aisle. they are sexy, thank for responding to my dicussion.

I prefer older than me but age doesn't matter really. There are older people who are irresponsible that the younger one.SO, for me, whoever will match us, will complete us and will be very comfortable to be with, regardless of his/her age, I'll go for that. What matter most is the companionship,level of understanding,common interest as well as open-mindedness to be challenge by the differences as well!

Hi checapricorn, I kind of agree with you, only because some men are more mature than other. My brother is 4 years older than me. But yet, he never took responsible for his actions. He always player around while he was married. He has been married 3 times and has five kids, with about 15 grandkids. And it really doesn't matter how old the person is, as long as he is responsible. My husband and I are 15 years apart, he is younger than I am, and acts very mature for his age. he always has. Sorry for the delay in responding

Age is just a number when talking about adults. My husband is ten years older than I am. But I didn't marry him or become attracted to him because of his age. Matter of fact, when we first met and he told me his age I made him show me his ID because I didn't believe him. He looks so much younger than what he is.

Hi, Well, my husband is younger and I've always have gone with younger men. I did date on person who about 7 years older than myself. But I always felt more confortable with younger men. Now my friends, daughters and my sister make fun of me. When I was in jr. high school, he was being born. They told I must have been in the hospital picking up out husband. What makes more strange, is that he lived about 5 miles from me. He use to hang around in the same places as I did. Maybe I bumped into him, and never knew that one day I marry him. When I told my husband how old I was he didn't believe me either. Do you believe in destiny?

It totally depends on a person I think. There are those that prefers older since they believe they need a man that is mature enough but there are those that prefers young since they seem to be more adventurous and many other things that a woman may look for. But no matter what your decision is I guess for as long as you are happy with your decision then that is all what you need to be.

that's true, when I first met my husband, my mother told me to find myself an older man. Than I told her, look at your son, he is older and look at the mess he has made with his life. It just depends on the person. It doesn't matter if the man is older or younger. It's true if the person makes you happy, so be it.

I am married to a man that is five years younger than i am. It doesn't bother me now but when we first married i was 33 and he was 28 and it did bother me. I was so happy when he turned 30! LOL, It has never seemed to bother him, maybe he was more mature than me.

whenever I dated younger men, if they look younger, if they did look their age, It would bother me. but if they are young and look a bit older, than it wouldn't. Strange huh, My husband is taller than me, and bigger, and what I mean by that is, he use to work out at least 3 times a day, he had a body on him and I used to be a size 5, (notice how I use the words "use to")and that made me feel good. after we got married he still remind active, but, when his job gave him 2nd or 3rd shift, that changed everything. Now we are are bit in the kinda of healthy size. he still has his baby face, when he shaves. and I do worry, when I turn 60 is he still going to be around. He'll probably be working, while I'm at the casinos. LOL
