Quote From: sharee1Men date women who are younger. So what's the problem with the other way around? On a dating website I'm on, I see men in their 60s looking for men in their 30s and 40s. Now I think that's a little extreme and I would not want to date men 20-30 yers younger than I am. But a lot of men my age are just too "old." I am 66 and would prefer dating a man 5-10 years younger rather than 5-10 years older. But age is really a matter of attitude, not calendar years, anyway. Once people are mature adults, I don't think it makes much of a differencce, if the common life goals and interests are there.
My sister-in-law is 74. IF I were not related to her, I'd never believe it! She is dating a man 10 years her junior, and he looks older than she does! I could not see her dating a man in his 70's...sorry, but they'd be too "old" unless they had her mindset and stamna. I could be her DAUGHTER, and I cannot keep up with her, so I agree...5 to 10 years, only numbers, attitude counts for much more.
When you get into the 20 to 30 year gap, it's a little "out there", as both age, the gap seems to widen into a generational, and cultural difference. That can be a problem, for men and women, but a span up to ten years, hell! Women live longer than men, as a rule...so maybe it's the way it should be. You go girl!
