What to Know About Age Gap Relationships Between Women and Men
Age gap relationships between older women and younger men are increasingly accepted, often based on mutual attraction and compatibility. While societal views may vary, many find these relationships rewarding when based on honesty and shared values. It is important to consider personal boundaries and expectations to ensure a healthy connection.
i think that if you're interested in these men, then who cares what others think? i'm the "older" woman in my relationship....by 5 months 😉
almost any opportunity is worth a shot...
This seems to be happing alot. I wouldn't date someone younger...it's werid to me personally. Seems to work for others. I want someone older and stronger than me🙂
Thanks for your input but considering your age there really is a difference when you've lived a full life with family, kids etc...I think.
sweetie, you gotta forget about people you know - if you're bothered about what people say or think or if age is a question mark to you personally, then wouldn't be the best idea...if you don't care too much about public opinion then go for it ! age's really nothing in the long run
I was bothered by it at first but found that most men my age either were unavailable/detached or didnt take care of themselves as I do, so I wasn't interested. The only available men on offer of late are younger. I'm over it now but just want to hear others opinions. I got alsorts of reactions from co-workers but mostly good! Thanks
Gross. 😛
girl, go for it. you a cougar! 😉
I shall be a cougar someday!
Women in the 35-45 range have a lot of life experience and have seen and been through enough to have confidence in who they are and just go with the flow of life and their desires a lot like men in their mid to late twenties. This in my experience is why a sexual attraction can be so functional between the two.
the guy is relieved of the pressure of being a provider and the woman is relieved of the pressure of being feeling needed.

So what do people really think about the older woman younger man? I'm 42 and have been asked out by mostly 32 year olds but recently a 26 year old. I've been told that I look around 34-36 and am always completely upfront with my age. My thoughts are if you if you click and have that instant attraction then it's worth a look in but... (typical librian) there's always the other side...questions which seem to outweigh the scales
