With him probably not so that's where the double standards kick in. 60-minutes-II probably looks up to men like Hugh Hefner who dates women who are young enough to be his granddaughter.
MIU and 60-Minutes II - It was a heartbreak back then when I broke up with her, mainly because she wasn't honest with me. We remained friends though, and if she were only 4 years older than me, then yes I would probably still be with her. Unfortunately she was diagnosed with cancer in 2001 and she passed away in 2003.
I didn't necesserily think the 15-year age gap was "disgusting", it was above my limit. The 23-year gap might okay with MIU and the person she's involved with, but you wouldn't see me getting involved with a woman that's 23 years older than me. Bottom line is, if you're happy with it, that's fine with me, I'm not going to bother you about it and tell you that it's disgusting.
Right now I am courting a gal who's only 2 months older than me, so that's not a problem..
well that was what i was getting at. She was too old for your standards thats its.
At the risk of sounding like the pot calling the kettle black, my advice would be to think seriously about dating someone who is significantly older than you whom you may consider marrying in the future, and may want a family with. Look out to the long term future, and not the immediate future.
I dated an older woman, by six years. I began to date my ex when I was 24, and she was 30. We dated for a long time, and we eventually married. We both wanted kids, initially. However, since she was older than me, and by the time I thought I was was ready in regards to career, and finances, she had reached 40, and no longer wanted kids; I was 34.
How funny. That is EXACTLY the ages of my ex and I when we met. We DID get married, and had a baby. And even though we divorced, neither one of us would have changed a thing.
you r awoman and he is not yet a man a man is 5 years less imature than a woman so you can configure at 27 a boy becomes a man so in all essence the reality has been given so now the real question is what do you think you arent being fair and allowing him his childhood is that fair?
I guess it would all depend on the person. I am 27 and the guy i'm with is 36. We get along just fine and you would never know there where any age difference.
A little education on the female reproductive system: women can continue to naturally have children until they reach menopause, which usually occurs in their 50s. Although the likelihood of getting pregnant and carrying to birth may not be as high and many health risks are raised when women have children in their 40s, there are plenty of women out there who have and will continue to have healthy children in their 40s, through natural means. It is not as much of a rarity as you obviously seem to think it is.
I've never thought age differences were a big deal. I'm dating a guy who's 18 years older than me. I have more in common with him than I have with most guys my own age.
As a 40 year old woman, I've dated a 25 year old guy. We had a blast together, but I would have never turned it into a long-term relationship. He thought he was in love, but I knew that 15 years down the road, the age gap would have been an issue. We parted friends and remain so.
I don't look or feel my age. Why should I have to date someone who is relishing the thought of settling into codgerhood when there are plenty of younger guys (although 15 years younger was pushing my threshhold) out there whose energy levels match my own?
