My Husbands and I are 19 years apart, I am 45 he is 64. We have this ongoing saying in our relationship that I Love You For???
SEX, MULTIPLE ORGASMS, MONEY, HOUSE, CAR, Whatever, it really doesn’t matter because WE LOVE EACHOTHER UNCONDITIONALLY. We never look at ourselves as an AGE or a Number we just don’t care and we definatley do not care what others have to say because OPINIONS are like Assholes everybody has one not that we care but they are there .
So call us what you wish but it really doesn’t make a difference to us our life still goes on. I feel like I am Blessed to have him in my life for however long it is meant to be. It is what it is as some would say.

Old men don’t keep young women around for conversation.

A “trophy wife” before marriage was probably just “trophy”.

I dated and married my husband who was almost 32 years older than I was. We had a WONDERFUL MARRIAGE that lasted 35 years. He passed away 7 years ago and I can’t even imagine dating someone else. Lots of people made remarks about us at the start of our relationship but we were very happy. Had a very fulfilling life together. I still love and miss him.

I’ve always been attracted to older men when i was single and younger- at least 5 to 10 years older than i am. But then after i divorced, i started dating and met this 35 year old guy, 10 years younger than i am. I was very hesitant at first, sometimes i still get bothered by my own conscience… what am i doin g with this young guy? However, i found out that younger guys have this level of energy. They’re a lot of fun. I went out with guys who are 5 to 7 years older than i am b ut they look so old, i dunno why. One time, i was having dinner with this older guy at 8 pm, he already started yawning saying it’s almost his bed time…. and there i was, trying to hurry with this dinner because i am going clubbing after that. There’s no really big deal on age difference. What matters most is you share the same interest and you are having fun.

Well, I am so glad to see I’m not the only one in this predicament. I am a 23 year old woman who LOVES THE OLDER MAN! They are more mature and have much wisdom to share. They also have had their time to play, so now (around age 35-40) should have their act together, and many do. I am a serious woman, with serious ambitions and goals in life. I have my act together and need someone in life who has the same. Although I may seem head strong about being with an older man, it is a double edged sword. Because I have never been married and have no children, I would like to one day have this opporunity. But, the issure comes to when you find someone older, most times they already have children, dont want children, or do want them, but lets face it, by the time you two do decide to have them, the man will be a senior citizen, close to 60 when your first kid is graduating from high school! This sucks. Oh well. But, really and truly the key to me is not age. Really, its not. Its not about the finding the person you can live with, but its about finding the perosn you cannot live without! Got to have that connection. Much luck to you younger women trying to find that great mature sexy go it together man, I have yet to find one who has the complete package…maybe some day!

Patricia, my sweet young sweet patootie…all the grownups in your life know your age. Anyone who can’t guess your age is too young for you. Mind, that’s not bad; you almost surely DO look 10 years younger than a woman your age would have looked 25 years ago, and since most children (i.e., people 10 years younger than you) have gotten the idea of what 57 looks like from old movies and TV they may guess wrong.

Those of us your age know what 57 looks like and like it a lot. But don’t kid yourself; we know. Even if we didn’t we can look at the back of your hands.

PS: I’ve noticed that conversation over these Intertube thingies filters out irony, so what I mean really is…you go, girl. Fifty is the new sexy.

But enjoy. Enjoy. Just keep a tad or reality by the bedside.

I am a 57 year old female who happens to adore younger men…at least 10 years younger but not more than 15. I know that nine out of ten of them do not take me seriously so now I am thinking about going a bit older. No one every guesses my true age…always guessing 10 years or more younger.

Very well put, Rei. If the principals involved are pleased with the arrangement, it really isn’t anyone else’s business. However, some of the issues that Marie brings up should also be kept in mind as well. If I understand her point correctly, the issue shouldn’t result in anybody condemning anybody else but the potential for an asymmetric or even exploitative dynamic shouldn’t be ignored either. At the end of the day, I’m inclined to put the whole topic in the category of “The heart has its reasons whereof reason knows nothing.”

There shouldn’t be a name, it will just be another made-up word for something to be made fun of. If you are with someone who is old enough to be your parent, and you are fine with that, that is what matters, you and your sig other’s happiness.
