In the past, when I have seen much, much older women with younger men (thinking mostly celebrities here, since I don't really know anyone that fits this description in person). Examples being Susan Sarandon, Cher, Sharon Stone, and even obvious gold-digging situations like Elizabeth Taylor. I wonder, really, how younger men feel about older women. We are so youth-centric in our culture that it is very difficult to believe or imagine that a 30-something man would be attracted to or happy with a woman who is 20 or 30 years older.
On the other hand, however, I wonder if WHO THE PERSON IS, can somehow transcend age. If two people who really enjoy each other's company and genuinely care for each other can look beyond the wrinkles and the years and have a successful relationship. After all, we love the PERSON and god knows there are lots and lots of marriages between 20 somethings or 30 somethings that end in misery and divorce.
Guys, if you found someone who was much-much older attractive and got along well, would you consider a relationship?
I dated a women 10/11 years older than me for about 7 years. It was a great relationship, I enjoyed it, she enjoyed it. I was basically probably 21 to 27 or 28 during the time we dated. Yes there were some challenges in terms of having common friends my friends maybe felt a little wierd hanging out with her and her friends with me so that was a challenge but its really only outside factors like friends or family that make it wierd, how things are between two people behind closed doors neither of us really cares less about the age difference.
I am not a woman who is falling in love with younger men. I cannot get the feeling away from my head that he is like a brother or a son to me. But once I kept talking to a guy he was at that time 55 and I was 33. We had the talk quiet well. So I think my thing is older men.
These posts have been quite interesting. I have never really considered less than 10 years to be much of an age difference. I have been older than almost all of the men I have dated (and married) in the past. My current husband is 4 years younger.
I guess there aren't many who have had a very dramatic age difference (20+years). This makes me think that anything like that is totally out of the ordinary and *weird*. Too bad. Not all older women are ready for the bone yard because they are in their fourth or fifth decade, as generally perceived.
The last girl I dated was six years older than me.
Another woman, a former co-worker in her early 40s, wanted to get with me, but I wasn't into the fact that she had a child and a lot of drama with the baby daddy.
If an older woman has it together, I'd probably find her attractive enough to be with long term. In a lot of instances, she'll know more about herself, what she wants, she'll be in a more stable situation typically. What isn't attractive about that? Put it this way, it'd be a whole lot easier than dealing with the BS of 20-something girls who have the mentality that the world is their oyster.
My boyfriend and I have been together since 2003. He's 33 and I will be 56 in November. Last year, we purchased a house together. We share many common interests and we are both intellectually inclined. His friends and his family completely accept me. His mom knows my age and all my friends know the situation, but we've decided not to discuss our age gap with his friends. It's not any of their business and we don't want to be closely scrutinized by them as some curious oddity.
Before we were a couple, we were close/best/platonic friends first and even took a month long road trip across country to visit mutual friends before becoming romantic. Neither of us wanted babies in our lives, so my lack of fertility is actually a relief to him.
Yes, of course he finds me physically attractive, but we make each other laugh and he is also madly in love with my brain and the way I think. He also loves that I'm a lifelong tom-boy. No makeup. No high heels. I love to drive stick shift. I am also not glued to my cellphone. Women of his generation and after just don't appeal to him.

So I think my thing is older men.
