Sometimes dating an older guy doesn't benefit. Sure, they might teach you a few things, but only because as a 19 or 21 year old, you just haven't experienced those things yet. What happens when you turn 37-40? We tend to mature at a higher rate than our male counterparts, we tend to outgrow them. A younger man is more willing to learn from an experience older woman than an older man would. Why not learn together instead of relying on an older man for HIS wisdom?

Age is jst a number coz even if she might b older wit a century,as far as theres lov,nothng else to b worried bout.bt ushers matter is smthng...

I am with a guy who is 11 years younger than me. I am 32. I am blessed and look young. Most people think I am in my early 20's. He lied initially about his age and by the time I found out his real age, I was already in love with him. I was married to a guy who was older for 7 years and that did not work out. I initially had issues with being with a younger guy but I am a very youthful person and I relate more to him than with my ex. He is surprisingly mature. I like being intellectually stimulated and he does not disappoint. My friends think I should leave him for an older more sophisticated man but I really love this guy. I am happy with him. We have great dialogues, we love each others minds, our sexual life is fantastic and we have a lot of fun together. He compliments me a lot and makes me feel very sexy and womanly. I cannot imagine life without him.

I'm in agreement with Ms. Lady because I was one of those women downing women dating younger men until I was in a relationship with one myself. I've dated men my age, a year or two younger than me, and was even married to a man four years older than me. My boyfriend is 13 yrs younger than me, and we have the most beautifulest relationship I've ever had in my life! He pursued me, and I wouldn't date him because what people would think. It also help that I don't look my age, I look more like his age than mine (I'm 38 now, but at the time was 35 when we 1st start dating). He's so mature for his age, and we communicate about everything. I'm glad that its not a taboo anymore that it looks bad for us to date one. I'm very happy with my boyfriend and we're getting married next year, and loving him is a beautiful thing. The beautiful thing is he loves me in return.

I don't think there is anything wrong with dating younger or older but I do think there is a limit.I know someone who is 28 & is dating an 18yr old that is still in high school, I think that is pushing it

I have been married twice, once at 18- stayed married for 8 years and then again at 27- stayed married for 11 years. Both husbands were roughly my own age, I am 38, husband 1 si 39 and husband 2 is 36. So I have gone up 15 and down 15 after my last divorce. I dated a man older and found that I could relate to him but he could not relate to me and he adored me more like his little girl than likfe his woman. I didn't actually set out to date someone 15 years younger, BUT the young gentlemen pursued me heavily and I found him to be more mature and settled than either husband and the older gentleman. It seemed really crazy to me at first but after 6 months I have never been more happy that I opened up my mind to something new. A year ago I would have been one of the one talking trash about the older woman, but I am humbled having experienced it for myself.

Dating a younger man has its ups and downs, its just what you are ready and willing to deal with. I tried hard to fight the tempations of doing so but he was so fine and unbeleivably inteligent for his age. The conversations are actually better than the physical attraction.

I was always told age is only a number, think about it, when God ask us to do something He doesn't worry about our age, so why should anyone else.

Ladies with the women to men ratio the way it is we've got to consider a younger guy when dating. Although I've told my friends if I date someone too young just slap me heck I've got a son who is 19 I can't be dating someone considered to be his peer. I'm 43 the brother has to be within 10 my junior...just don't want to be dealing with drama!

I am 38 years old and I was always interested in dating someone older then me,so far that didn't work out because the men lie so much or they play too many games. I decide to focus on me for a while. Me dating someone that is younger then me, I don't know. I am not giving up on men because I do believe there are still some good men out there. I am happy for couples that found love again, young or old.

Deena...if you read this please email me. Let's talk. stscott@howardcountymd.gov I think love is more than enough.

It seems women don't give themselves or other women any credit... We have been programmed over the years to believe older men with younger women are a good match and usually overlook it. When it is the other way around WOMEN snicker, are negative and judgmental as if they are not getting older themselves and have men standing in line for them. Women should wake up and increase their options instead of finding more ways to be alone. What I think is funny is all the single women who would actually laugh when they don’t have anybody and their prospects aren't great. There is no relationship without challenges. If two responsible adults can make it work, what’s it to you? Stop hating people for what you can’t get or don’t have….and YES I date a younger man.

I think it is wonderful that women are finding love with younger men. I am truly flattered that younger men find me sexy. Right now the guy of my dreams is over 10 years younger and a "looker" with a very big heart. So to all the beautiful Sistahs out there give it a try and I am sure you'll be happy you did.

well i dated a man who was older than me for 8 years and had a son by him. i was 19 he was 36 and showed me a world that i had never known before he taught me the value of a dollar and how to take care of my kids and to make suer that the next man respects me also he showed me things that my own mother didn't at the time for i never wanted to be like her so an older man is good

TYPE YOUR MESSAGE HERE I am 42 and am in love with a 28 year old man.we are extremely compatible primarily and have a lot in common. I am young at heart and in appearance but I've been married before and have 3 kids. He wants kids in a few years and doesn't think our relationship will work long term for that reason. It's hurting us both to know that this wonderful relationship will one day have to end. Sometimes love is not enough.
