I was talking to my one of my neighbors last night. We got on the subject of talking about how it feels to be married to a younger man. She is 37 he is 28. I was asking her how she felt about being married to a younger man, She told me it's no different than a older man. My thought is SUREEEE...It's gotta be something there besides just love...Deep down inside I feel it's more than what she was saying... Of course to some degree there has to be a difference no matter what age, something so simple as a older person going through more life experiences than a younger one...I'm thinking... How would you feel if your mother dated someone 10 years or more younger than her, furthermore, How would you feel if your father dated someone 10 years younger than him? I thought about it myself and on both levels... Male and female... What attracts a older woman to a younger man??? I took some thought to why I feel older women may be attracted to younger men... 1. I believe woman are more likely to come back on the dating scene because of a divorce or a break-up. 2. Some older women now-a-days are aging very well, taking care of theirselves, working out and maintaining.. 3. Some older women aren't looking for the picket fence and two cars, but moreso companionship, travel, and more fun in their lives.. For the most part, I feel a younger man often find a older woman more interesting, experimental, fun to talk to, finacially stable and more adept to s*x. Now for a older man, Being I'm not a male, My thought process to this is... 1. A older man is attracted to a younger woman because, generally speaking, A younger woman is not pressed to get married, she is more focused on here and now and letting nature take it's couse... 2. When a man reaches a certain age, he possibly worries about his youth and vatility wane, a younger woman reaffirms to a older man, he still have it going on.. 3. Older men introducing things to a younger women to things possibly she has not experience before 4. Some older men just want a younger woman to mold and take care of Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying anything is wrong with either, I'm not saying with either the relationship is headed for disaster, I know some couple as Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher can find love and live happy every after... What are your thoughts, views to this topic? Also, if anything I said you don't agree with, please voice your opinions..This is a discussion everyone can get involved in...Because it is true and it happens today with both s*xes...

I'm 37 and my boyfriend is 27. I don't really think about it, and when I do, I'm shocked. I just don't see him as being that young. We've been living together for almost two years now, and we are doing great.

I know that you were talking from both sides of the coin, and to me love is love and age doesn't matter at all if you are truly in love ^_^ What I can say personally for myself is that I _hope_ to find a man at least somewhat younger than myself. Why? Because it is a scientific fact that, on the whole, womean live longer than men. I want to be with my love for as long as humanly possible. I am really the type who needs people very much and don't wish to have my husband die early and me be alone for the last 10-15 years of my life. (Although honestly, I nkow that I probably won't live as long as some myself, regardless, as I haven't taken great care of my health for a long time, but oh well, that is my own fault *laugh*) So to me, I think that it makes _sense_ for a woman to go with a younger man. Of cousre, I am open to finding a love of any age. I just want to find someone who loves me as intensely as I will love them. But I really would be happy to find someone at least a bit younger than myself. ^_^
