. And you seem to be making general assumptions about older men-younger women relationships based on your individual experiences with an older husband. Your experiences are not necessarily the norm. And you say an older guy has to work hard to stay young, energetic, in-shape, etc, so what does the younger girl have to do? Simply just be young?
Nope, never said that all a younger girl has to do is to be young. I said nothing of the kind. Might I remind you that it's you guys on this thread who are hung up on youth, not I, so you might want to ask yourself that question, Anthony.
I also never said that a man has to "work hard" to stay young. I said that if he's not prepared to keep up with a younger woman and to be adaptable to what is important to her (and part of that is, yes, staying reasonably active and fit. I think that's a fair request), then he should NOT marry a younger woman.
Third, I'm not making generalizations about younger women-older men at all. I've already said in this thread, as I have in other threads, that the significance of an age difference depends on the people involved. It might be irrelevant; then again it might not be. I'd still be willing to date a man about 10 years older. IF I were attracted to him and felt we were compatible (part of which means he's flexible, adaptable, and willing to compromise), then his age wouldn't bother me.

Betty ,age is not really a factor in your case ,at least to me .I would seem he is not too worried about you being able to keep up intellectually . Just realize who you are ,what you have to offer and don't worry so much .Men like a woman with confidence .Look at what you know you have not what you think you don't have .Good luck .
well I'm a dude of a certain age and I have no idea why a man around 40 would be interested in an 18 yr old or even a 20 yr old
an 18 yr old is like a senior inhigh school or barely out of high school
its almost like trying to score with chicks you couldnt pull back when you were 18, but now that you got 20 yrs on em you might have accumulated a car, house etc some shiny object that you can dangle in their faces to entice em
age does matter, i'd say that between 18 and 25 you change alot, your mindset, your tastes etc
if my daughter was 18 and some 40yr old dude showed up trying to do things with my daughter we gonna have a serious problem, dude would be a "dirty old man" in my eyes

"us guys on this thread?" All of us are identical, have the same opinions, outlooks, beliefs, etc? Come on!
And nice touch using my name in direct address; that let's me know you are serious -- in much the same way a teacher or parent uses a kid's first name to sound authoritative! Lol.
No, in all seriousness, people are as different as the stars in the sky. When you say 'you guys' or 'men', you can't really believe that all men are the same. Or that all guys are on one side of the net, and all the girls on the other.
And I don't get why an older guy has to necessarily do anything special in regards to romancing or dating or marrying a younger woman. I don't look at it as if the younger girl is worth more than the older guy or should be catered to particularly just because she's younger. I see two people as being equal. They should both respect each other equally. Many people believe a younger ( and presumably hot) female deserves to be placed on a pedestal and that her youth should afford her special privilege.
As long as the two people are adults happy and in love age doesn't matter who are you to judge?
She went on internet forum get an opinion if she didnot want get judge she should never posted it
