If a guy is 31 and his girlfriend is 45, is that a big age difference?

Like would it count as one of those cougar and cub relationships?

It varies from person to person. If it is OK for you both, so it is OK, and vice versa, if you find it not OK, so it is not for you.

Yes it is.

I don't have problems with people dating someone younger than them as long as both are consensual adults and happy.

Personally, the youngest dude I dated was 25 and I was 31 then. I can't date anyone more than 6 or 7 years younger than me.

Yes. They're either in it for the money or some other selfish motive.

I can not see such a relationship going anywhere past 3-4 years' mark at best.

What she said..

I don’t necessarily think there’s anything “wrong” with it, it just doesn’t work for me and there is no attraction to younger men from my end. At this stage in my life I am attracted to emotional stability and in my experience, men tend to mature emotionally later in life than women do. All the game playing, toxic manipulation tactics and “wyd” texts does not appeal to me. 🤷‍♀️ Lol On the other hand, they say that men who dare younger women live longer lives. Women who date younger men don’t 🤣😂 so, there’s that.

14 year age gap is a lot IMO

I notice the maturity levels, life lessons, etc

I think so. But she’s almost 2 generations older than him and men already need to catch up maturity wise for a women.

She must be very youthful, if she was willing to try out a relationship. This doesn’t seem lasting at all. She’s too old for him.

😂😂😂 no there was an article that was circulating on Facebook about a study that was done that showed that men that marry younger women tend to live longer lives.. i thought it was interesting so read into it more. Then found it even more interesting that it doesn’t change for a woman, whether we marry a man our age, older or younger.

Probably cuz the younger woman fucks more and that burns more calories leading to healthier heart and arteries for the man.

It rarely works out but I guess there are some exceptions.

My older sister dated a guy who was younger than me(her and I are 11 yrs apart in age). It was weird. She almost married him. He had his own money so it wasn't a money situation...think it was more of a sexual one tbh. He was an ass hole tho and I'm glad she didn't marry him...but from what I hear they are still friends.

The Virgo I'm dating was dating a woman who was like 15+yrs older than us(we are the same age) before I met him. I still kind of make fun of him for it when I get the chance. I think he was around 31-33 when they met and she was like late 40s or early 50s I'm not sure exactly I just know she was way older than him and was basicly a cougar who didn't want him to work cause she had money. 😂

Yes and married women die earlier than single women but married men live longer than single men.

Lol wrong messenger. You aren’t the brightest. You can’t distinguish woman from women. You say a lot of dumb stuff on here. I am certain you agree with me on that.

Of course it’s a big age difference. I believe that both parties in those type of relationships are together for convenience. I’m sure money and/or status are the root.

If a guy is 31 and his girlfriend is 45, is that a big age difference?
