No way, I strongly emphasize and vehemently don't think its a great idea, what's wrong with that woman? why cant she find someone her own age? not that I care and wouldn't interfere with the relationship, that's like her dating a minor still, a 23 year age difference think about it, no guy in their 20s should fall for someone that old, But if they are happy and pleased to date each other then that's a different story, Now if the 26 year old guy was a family member then of-course I would care, He's young and can still keep his standard laid back for a woman his age unless if he does the right things to get him to do so, the 49 year old woman on the other hand is like the same age as mother and that wouldn't be right in my opinion.

As-long as if the 26 year old guy isn't being takin advantage of and being manipulated and controlled by this woman then I think the relationship would be a good one for them, if the guy was 36 then sure but 26 I'm not sure that's a little-bit too young to date people in their early 50s.

For the sake of making it personal let's say this is my daughter.

I would probably have a little worry and a lot of hesitation to want to accept it, but it's ultimately her choice to make.

The best life lessons are self taught...

In other words, I really don't care what other people do, and why.

My last bf was 26 and I am over 45. No problem. No one cares. He was a better guy and treated me better than any bf I've had in years. He is an exceptional man; I don't think I'd date other guys that young unless they are exceptional.

I also knew there was no future but I could sit at home for two years alone or I could enjoy a closeness for two years and have a positive experience. I chose the latter obviously.

And nice to see the word "dapper" used.

Lol.....is it your mom you're upset about?

Would it be a problem if it would be 49 year man with 26 years old woman? Is that cool? Relationships are not about cool, it is only about if 2 people want to spend time together. At both cases my opinion is not going to change their minds.... Good luck as long as they are healthy to make decision and passed legal age.
