It can be fine, I think. However, people often have "daddy issues" in those situations. I also feel like I'd be setting up for a world of hurt with a man 30 years my senior. You can't really grow old together, and you're almost guaranteed to be alone during a lot of moments in your childs life (if you have children and depending how old you are).

The room mate situation is the oddest to me.

Thank God for "Daddy Issue" girls! As for growing old together, what guy in his right mind wants to be stuck with some old hag nagging the hell out of him? It's better to be old, wealthy, single, and partying in Thailand with a different 20-year old every day!

I dont think he cares what you think, nor any 50something man dating a woman in her 20's.

Why not just give him a fist bump and tell him good job? auh, of course, jealousy.

This reminds me of a conversation I had recently, w/ a woman who is in her early 50's
(a bit older than me) & relatively newly single...
She asked me how I meet guys, how the dating scene is, etc.
I told her the truth w/ my own pesonal experiences-
Don't bother w/ online guys, & just enjoy life....do what makes her happy & the guys will approach....
Then I told her that I primarily attract guys who are at least a decade younger, consistently
....& even 2 decades younger....
She loved it- gave me a high five & proclaimed you go girl

Probably the girl lack fatherly love when she was young and she looks up to your friend like a father. There are some girls who likes older man due to maturity. Either this or your friend had acted like a rich guy who spends lavishly on her with nice places and expensive gifts?
Just my thoughts.

I agree that this isn't a big deal and there does not always have to be “issues” involved with either party. This guy is doing all right and they both seem happy with the arrangement. The roommate situation is a little odd but it could be for economic reasons.

I am 25 and my b/f is 55. Neither has any illusion of walking off into the sunset together. He's been married and has kids ( older) and at this point in my life I'am not looking for a LTR, nor is he. We date, travel or just hang out together when time permits. Both are free to date other people if we so desire...
It'll last as long as it lasts, but for now I see it as the perfect solution for both our dating needs.
