Ther e has been some talk about older men/younger women "may-december" relationships........That seems to be the internationally acceptable standard.

But what if it were the woman who is older than the man?
A few friends of mine have married or at least dated women that were several years their senior.......they seem to be happy and there "intimate life" seems to be healthy and they seem to be content with each other....

The question I would like to pose to the people here is:

Men: Would you ever consider dating a woman who is several years older than you? And if you had, what was your experience?

Women: Would you ever date a man who is several years younger than you? And if you had, what was your experience?

I know alot of women would reply by saying: it is like dating a teenager or a baby and it felt more like babysitting than actual dating.....but you know men say the same things occasionally about the young women they date.....

But what was your experience?

With one exception, every girlfriend I've had has been older. (Okay that's not so many, but even so). They haven't been much older, but still I prefer someone whose maturity at least equals mine.

'several' is such a vague word. Make it a concrete choice. Osama bin Laden's 26 year old son is married to a 52 year old woman.

I'm more interested in this question:

If you were 26 would you be...

a) interested in a one night stand with a 52 year old woman?

b) interested in a Benjamin Braddock/Mrs. Robinson-style affair?

c) interested in marriage if the chemistry was right?

d) none of the above?

How prudish am I?

My girlfriend is four years older than me.

It would depend on the person and the age difference. I'm not interested in schoolboys, but maybe in ten or twenty years time that age difference wouldn't be so much of an issue.

But if guys can do it, I don't see why girls can't.

I find the sixty year old white man with twenty year old Asian girl thing sickening though. There has to be some sort of moral limit on the age gap.

I know three different foriegn guys who married Korean women 7-8 years older than they are.

Sauce for the gander is sauce for the goose. Both my sisters are happily married to men younger than they are (one just 2 years, the other 7) and a good friend of mine lived for 10 years with a man nearly 20 years younger than she.
As long as it's legal and above board, what's the issue?

Physical attractiveness is central to male heterosexuality. Men would thus have little problem with dating an older women who is attractive. It's quite rare though. Generally, men like 'em younger and women like 'em older.

I'm 20, my girlfriend is 27. Last girlfriend I had was 23 when I was 19.

The benefit with these older girls is that they have some type of purpose in their lives and are actively working toward it. Nobody at my age has that.

I prefer guys who are a bit older but I expect this to change once "younger men" for me includes the late 20s - early 30s age group. Young enough to still have passion and energy, but old enough to have figured some things out. The best men!

Morality is all about ownership. If a 60 year old man and a 20 year old girl are attracted to each other, for what ever reason, and wanna get it on, there is no moral defence to be made for it being morally wrong and it is totally contrary to the findings of evolutionary psychology. These anti-nature moral warriors, legislating what others do with their own lives and bodies, with their low fertility rates, are as dangerous to civilization as prohibition and Co2.
