younger woman with older man
 
Ok this my first love relationship with a man a bit older than me. He is 24 years older. We have been together almost six months.
It has its advantages. He seems more relaxed, and laid back. He knows he he is. He is not trying to 'find' himself.
Yet, if there is anyone else out there with a older man, or woman. I would like to see them post it.

The answers to your inquiry will differ depending on whether you are 12 or 22 ...

please clarify.

I personally have no problems with anyone dating a considerably older partner.

I know someone who married someone 33 years her senior....and I'm currently seeing someone who's 22 years older than myself.

I'm thinking I'd rather date someone older than someone my age or younger - they have themselves together, they know what they want, and they've defined their talents and abilities.

And oh, there's none of the little childish games our behavior one sees with a peer. (At times, YMMV, not all men fit into this pigeon hole...yaddayaddayadda)

older = more money :) (usually)

older = more baggage (usually)

Well my friend is low in the money department, high in the baggage..(8 kids, can't help but think ther'es baggage there)...but he can carry on an intellgent conversation and listens intently to what I have to say. Which is not often a trait in younger men.

My wife told me she was leaving me. Something about how I never listen, I'm not really sure; I wasn't paying attention... ;)

8 kids, can't help but think ther'es baggage there

So does that mean you're the same age as some of his kids?

My bf is 21 years older. He's a complete FREAK in the sack. I like freaky.

No...thankfully I'm older than all of his children.

But he and my mom are the same age...which I will be completely honest, was tough to deal with when the relationship first started.

With the 8 kids, it sounds like it could be VERY complicated :yelsick:

amygail 03-06-2005 05:11 PM

Actually, life is as complicated as you let it get. The kids don't complicate things at all. My interaction with them is extremely minimal - simply because the older ones are away at school or involved in their activities - and the younger ones don't quite understand why Mommy and Daddy are not together anymore - adding a girlfriend to the mix would needlessly confuse them.

And then there's the fact that well, i don't think I could handle 8 kids :) I'm a great auntie....but the whole step mom thing scares the pants offa me.

what are the chances that you'll find your soul mate?

consider the odds. first off, do they even exist? 2nd, do they happen to be of the appropraite sex? 3rd, will you happen to encounter them amongst the other 6 billion people on earth? 4th, will you both be single at the time, 5th, are they of compatible ages? that seems like the least of your worries, AmyGail. if it feels good, DO IT!

PS, welcome home, and which is it.... amy or gail....i don't think we have either.

Before you find a soul mate you have to work out who your soul is. Most people never get there, so never find a soul mate. Know yourself to let someone know you.

Yeah yeah hippy shit whatever it makes sense and btw it works ;)

On the other hand, soulmates are a myth to keep us searching and unhappy and make us buy shampoo.
