age differences

I have dated several women older than me. Piece of advice for you - don't do it long term. They start losing their looks and leave their prime while you are entering yours.

I don't mind fading beauty as long as the personalty is golden. Do you think if these women you dated were perfect in that area then it would have lasted?

I guess what I want to know mostly is what happened when the relationship went long term (or what you think would happen)

I was once in a 9 year age gap. Illegal too (I was the underage one). Was pretty great.

No, they grew insecure as they aged understanding my options were expanding while their options were diminishing. Women are insecure creatures and the age gap definitely brings that insecurity to the fore. The only way I say it'd work is if they were out of your league financially, socially, or in appearance.

Greentext? How serious did it get? How did everyone else feel about it?

That makes me a little sad to read. i can't believe they didn't have more faith in you to not leave them over something so petty

I got tired of dating girls my own age, and started trying to date women older than myself.
I'm now married to a woman who is nine and ten years my senior. My parents certainly didn't have a problem with it.
I'm currently thirty one, she's forty.

I'm so happy for you anon. What do you think she fulfills better than any younger women couldn't do for you? And what would you have done if everyone disapproved?

Currently 23 girlfriends 26, best relationship I've ever had.

If you never want children, they are great. If you want children, don't do it though.
