It's just a big deal. Don't really wanna go into that right now. But, trust me - age ISN'T just a number!

A man should pursue women no more than 15 years younger. 15 is actually strectching it. 8-12 is more ideal. If the man is going to pursue a serious relationship with someone older, the age should be no more than 5 years. This is my philosophy. I stand by it. I approve of this message!

Well, we don't have the ED issue - it's the other way around. He's got a woody 24/7 and I'm just turned off. (I know, I know, TMI!)

So what's your opinion on those that have gone out of the age range you deem to be right and they are in a serious relationship... and making it work better than 99.6% of all the other relationships out there?

IMO, it really depends on the two people involved and their maturity levels (and I don't mean age). If a young girl is looking for a sugar daddy... and if an older guy is looking for arm candy.. well of course those relationships aren't going to last. (I guess I can't comment on a cougar, since I've never been remotely interested in anyone younger than me.)

It sounds like your age intimidates him. I'd forget about him.

And why should total strangers care what other total strangers do thats legal? It has no impact on their real lives, so who cares?

I agree. Whilst I think that there are situations where it can and does work, I think the percentage is small. I dated a guy 18 yrs older than me, Im 24, he's 42, and we got on great for a few weeks (still do as friends - he's a wonderful guy) until it became obvious just how much difference the age thing really does make: effort made, early nights/late nights, eating hours, bedroom habits etc. Im not saying it cant work, but I think it's rare that relationships with such big differences last forever.

I think it can be safe to say, with the lack of effort on most people's parts nowadays, that this could apply to almost any relationship, with age not a factor. If it takes effort most people aren't into it any more.
