32 and 20 is great. men are more attracted to looks than women anyway. Plus its sad, but Im in my early 30's, I'm starting to realize too many women have that NFL running back syndrome, where after 30 years old , they just seemingly stop caring about weight. Its rough out there!!

Ahh, Brazilians Let me guess... you dreamed of moving to Brazil and living happily ever after? Wait, maybe that was my dream with my Brazilian boyfriend.

The age thing really depends on whether or not she is ready for a real relationship, where they will have to deal with the age difference when it comes up.

A 12 year age difference - No big deal.

Cut the cr*p.
1. Are you both happy?
2. Does it work for you?
3. Do you have differences that are age/maturity related?
4. Can you resolve them in an amicable manner?
5. Are you "made" for one another?
6. Can you forsee a life together?
7. Settling down?
8. Respecting, honoring, trusting and caring for your SO?
9. Look at yourself/yourselves in the mirror and ask "is this really what I want?"
10. Could you have kids, go through it all as responsible parents?
.

Forget the bullsh*t and adverse comments by jealous people who have no right to criticize.

And if it feels good - go for it!

I have a SO 18 years younger than myself. We are buddies, lovers, friends, have the same interests, outdoor activities (climbing, trekking, hang gliding, kayaking, camping, the weekend away at a great and quaint little hotel with a view of the ocean/mountain/lake) enjoy going to the theater/library/walk the dog, business events and Conferences, are accepted by her/and my circle of friends as equals, get on great with her son and have his respect, and am accepted by my SO's family and friends My daughters accept her as a friend and ask for motherly advice.....even though the age difference between them is little.
Both enjoy being out on a motorcycle, travel, and cultural events...


... so what the hell. If it feels good for both of you.....

I don't see anything wrong with it what so ever. 30 something year old guys are modern, stable and fun, and drop dead gorgeous! Well many are, and many are very smart and that is attractive.

Older guys provide a sense of maturity and understanding that some 20 year old guys can not provide emotionally to 20 year old women.

It does work, plenty of couples have large age differences such as your example.

It's a big age difference, but like someone said, depends on the maturity level. I know someone who is 48 and is engaged to a 33 year old ... So I guess it can work ... And, it's his 2nd marriage, her 1st, and he's had a vasectomy ... I wonder if that will work ...
