Do 40s men take 20s women seriously? (dating, long-term, marriage)

[Water Dancer]

Do men aged 42 see women aged 22 as *serious* dating material? By serious I mean, considering long-term and marriage (not just for fun)?

And do things change any if the man is specifically a dominant who wants a submissive (for lifestyle, not just in the bedroom), rather than wanting a "normal" relationship? Is he going to only be in it for the enjoyment of it, or will he take her seriously as a prospect?

I know it will vary man to man, but how can you tell?

Yes. Many men in this age group would like a long term relationship with a significantly younger woman.

Depends on the man, depends on the woman, depends on their definitions of "submissive."

If she is mature, and he is serious.

Many times no. Many see gold digger or a perve old man.

It all comes down to how interested both parties are in each other age has little to do with it. Now if it fails, people will certainly blame it all the age difference.

Do 40 year old women take 20 year old men seriously?

[pbmaise]

They do in the Philippines.

Once they snag one they better not fool around anymore.

She is likely to more than a Bobbit job.
