Dating : Men, What are your thoughts on dating a woman 8 years older than you?
I’m a female (36) and I’m interested in someone who’s 8 years younger than me. We’re at the flirting stage but nothing more. I don’t know if it’s because of our age gap, maybe we’re both hesitant? I guess I’m curious if anyone dated an older woman and it worked.
My thoughts are usually, whats the point? Theres no time to grow, she’ll want aomething long term or kids within a few months.
If I’m attracted to her and we have a lot in common, I don’t see the issue. I use the half your age plus seven, or subtract seven and multiply by 2. So as an almost 30 year old, I would date as young as 23, or as old as 46.
Edit: I dated an older woman, for reference, but it didn’t work out because I couldn’t meet her expectations financially. I was 26 and she was 43. She was rather successful, but I’m not. It wasn’t important to me, but it was to her, so I guess it just matters whether or not your values align.
My mum is 7 years older than my dad. They’ve been together over 30 years! It can work out, if he likes you then you should go for it!
Do what you want, its fine as long as it’s consensual. It might be harder to make work since you two are at different stages of life, but shoot your shot.
Hell naw
I honestly prefer dating someone older, I find that most women I have meet younger than me (28M) are just starting to get out of their party phase. I prefer someone who has more of their life together and knows what they want. Hesitance is okay but I say grab a drink/coffee together and talk it out and see if it’s something you two wanna try.
Its an interesting subject ive been wondering how i would react to since ive never been in a relationship with anyone or near my age in the first place but the issues i always thought would be wanting or not wanting kids, money and the age difference itself.
i were in a relationship with an older woman it would honestly depend on looks and personality together. then a real issue would be money what if i were to look like…would a gold digger apply to guys(which i never will be)
Then what if the women wants kids and the guy doesn’t or What if they women does and its to late because some age thing or something they say where it becomes dangerous?
It seems like it depends on maturity on both sides
I was dating my teacher, it was fun. We don’t find anything wrong but we also were aware about the fact it is short term.
Are you a strong independent woman with a good job, your own house etc etc?
Kids?
Mommys dusty pillows are welcomed
Boy toy or someone to get married to as soon as possible?
Honestly? Disgusted. I feel like men are supposed to be the providers and protectors. While women are to be young and pretty. But this is only regarding committed relationships. Hooking up is another thing entirely.
