I completely agree with you AT. I too find it easier to get along with a younger significant other. I mean dont think I dont have my old man moments, such as a sat afternoon Nap, lol. I do like being active, not sitting around on my ass all day. I do like some evenings to be cuddled up on the couch, watching a movie or show (anything not watched on the Lifetime Channel). Women my age also dont seem interested in exploring new things in the bedroom, settling for what feels comfortable instead of attempting to continuing to learn what pleases their partner.
I think what I really enjoy about being with younger girls is how they are more likely to enjoy playful, giggly fun times(doesn't have to be sexual), than someone older. Well, I guess it all depends on the person. Some younger ladies will always focus on trying to act older and mature, just because that's what they believe would turn us guys on. I think that, often times, older people are more likely to worry about the moral aspect of the whole thing, and come up with all kinds of "reasons" against intergenerational interactions. But in reality it's interaction between two individuals. Like I said before, the aspect of love, respect, and how well the two parties complement each other, will play a huge part. A lot of people focus too much on the sex-related aspect of it, but I believe that's precisely what makes relationships with a big age gap seem questionable. Sex however is only a portion of a healthy, loving relationship. Just because one party is significantly younger doesn't mean that relationship lacks mutual love and respect.
I hope that when I'm 40 I still enjoy playful giggly fun times. My favorite part about any relationship I've ever been in has always been the times when we get in giggling fits, laughing for hours over the silliest things, and playing around like children. Fun times. Its sad that both men and women lose touch with that side of themselves as they age.
Oh yeah, I think it's all about being aware of the very concept. As long as you're aware of the importance of staying open to new ways of thinking, then I'm sure you'll be fine.
My current wife is half my age-we just had our third kid. She's always said she likes older guys, and I like younger girls. We're very much in love, and we have our problems, but they're not caused by the age difference. I've actually got a more optimistic view of life and am more active and willing to take on challenges than she is (although she does work hard to take care of the kids). I've been considerably hornier than her during almost our entire relationship (4 years now) So much for stereotypes
Right on, I'm happy for ya! All relationships go through rough times. With intergenerational relationships, a third party often sees it must be the result of age differences when a problem occurs. But it isn't always so, and your relationship is a great example of that. I've always dated younger women(didn't plan it that way, just worked out that way), and I can say the same about my relationships, too. I'm currently single, but I have never once come out of a relationship that failed because of some age issue.
Right-age differences don't usually cause conflict-immaturity does, and a person can be immature at any age. And I've never really sought out younger girls, either-things just turned out that way. And to what I'minmyunderwear said, I meant that there's a stereotype that the older someone gets, the less interested they are in sex-and our situation shows just the opposite is the case-not really talking about the gender aspects of it.
My boyfriend is much older than me and we have an excellent relationship. Our sex life is great at the moment and we love each other very much I can't imagine a happier relationship with someone else.
I like older men too but not because i see in them a father figure. Mine is part kink but mostly about intelligence and the fact that older men dont play mind games and tend to be more attentive romantically.
Us older guys do tend to pay more attention to the needs of our partners (females) than most younger guys do. The reson for this could be a few things but mainly, we feel blessed for having a younger partner and we also tend to have been raised in a household that taught us to be respectful of women. The latter is what I was schooled on. On the flip side to that younger women tend to appreciate how we treat them more than a middle aged woman would, IMO. MY SEARCH CONTINUES...*SIGHS
Hehehe, good luck... What you will offer to younger girl/women ? Right, normally indeed just wanting something must to offer too ?
all older guys here say this. i wonder how they know. have all the older guys here had sex with selfish younger men?
Very wise Undies. This is why I say externally it all looks like daddy issues. If they know they are only going to want it once a week, or more accurately just in that 4 day window before the curse then better off hooking up with a guy thats going to be OK with that, plus they get all the kind of things they love daddy for, being attentive, listening, being sweet. As a middle aged Gay man, when they assume or more importantly if they KNOW sex isnt going to be part of the equation, then I have to beat them off with a stick, and despite what they assume, being gay doesnt mean like their girlfriends I'm going to particularly enjoy sitting around over brunch listening to all their whinning and bitching Whereas the 20 yr old super horny female is doing what? Dating the guys on the football team, doesnt want anything to do with me The middle aged guys will say stuff like what Bottlefed said, of course what they will never say is that they cant keep up with some of their middle aged female counterparts or that little freddie doesnt work the way it used to. Whereas middle aged women will say stuff like "Oh, 20 yrs, they are rock hard at that age!" If it looks like a duck and walks like a duck, its a duck. ANYTHING to do with sex though, and if it talks like a duck, then its usually a chicken in a duck costume
Nope, not at all. But we have all BEEN selfish younger men, You'll get that when you get to the BEEN part!
Hey just wanted to speak up here!..My jaw droped the minute I saw this.. I like dating older guys. I am 25 and my last boyrfeind was 50 and it lasted only 3 month but It started fast and we basically LIVED together from day 1...first time we met I went to his place and I never left made me breakfast in the morning... it was the BEST 3 month I have ever had...But He had issues about the relationhip from the start and felt like since he was way older then me he was robbing me of my life... I thought he would just get over it eventually and see the longer I was with him that i really love him.... But he let me go. Its been 2 years and I am not sure I will ever get over it...I have kinda chosen to stay single now and dont know if I will find somone who will impact me asmuch as he did. I compare everyone to him. He kinda was he only person who ever showed me what a real relatonship was all about. You could say I havnt had many relationships per say at all. Despite my happy attitude I may present its cuz I have kinda grown up since then....Which was exactaully what he wanted in the first place!..lol....a more mature 25 yr old lol arghhh!. I cant begin to tell you what was going on thru that man's head...major giult trip...
Older men know how to treat a young/er woman! Especailly if they have been married before END of story!...LOL and know how bratty a younger girl can be....lol
