Yes, I disagree with that. Older men have no place with younger women especially if the age gap is huge same goes for women.

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.

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.

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.

My mother in law had two children in her 40s.

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?
