It is not me we speak of here but I have a roommate in late 50s that claims that he has a 20-something new g/f. Have no idea if so but he isn't rich, haha, so have no idea how he can claim this is true. Since I've not met her, & he works p/t job I have no idea if this is even true. But I told him if so, it won't last as she will grow tired of you over 50 & her in her 20s. I assume late 20s but he just kinda tells me the 20s so if so, any 20s is too young (unless you're a menber of the Rolling Stones or something, haha).

Ok, like to hear feedback on this as it just bugged me (no, not jealous) but rather intrigued, as how he's comfy w/ this & puts any faith it'll last. Yes, I could wrong here, but my hunch is this is too crazy to think it can. Ok, thx all for this bizarre request & question.

He's probably lying or he is being used.

Hey, thx & I agree. He has no money but maybe she isn't attractive enough w/ low self-esteem, & thinks he is. I'm not judging here as I have no right but he is coy w/ me re this, & I think he's not lying. He just is standoff-ish w/ me & w/ telling me things personal, as he thinks I'll ridicule or put him down or maybe bring him down. I have a way of coming off too cynical, I admit, & so this may be why he won't tell me much. But I agree, it is rather weird & if so, I can't imagine it'll last.

Are you a woman or man? Chemistry between a man and woman is very unpredictable sometime.
Maybe his girlfriend is missing father figure in her life...

I knew a woman in her late 20's who dated a much older man. We all thought she used him to have a child because she had very low self esteem(she was overweight) back them and probably thought she wouldn't have a chance in the future to get pregnant.

She pretty much dump the old man after she got pregnant and eventually lost some weight, got married with someone her age and had more children. I don't know the details but my guess is that she didn't ask for child support and pretty much kept him out of her life. She had a good job and she relocated anyway to another state.

We don't know much about the guy and even less about the girl, I don't know what feedback you can expect. The only feedback you will get are guesses and personal bias.

Lots of older men, especially if they take care of themselves, date women in their 20's. What's the big deal?

More often than not, it is the older person who gets bored first. Regular sex is not a cure for every male malady.

The odd part isn't that a guy in his 50's has a girlfriend in her 20's.

The odd part is that a guy in his 50's who still has a roommate has a girlfriend in her 20's.

I'm around 60 and my gf/FWB is 33. She was previously happily married to a man 30 years older, but he passed away. Large age gaps are not a rare situation, but usually do not last as long as I've experienced. I know of several other couples with similar gaps, some of whom are happily married, some with children together.

Seconded!
