Things like... What is the relationship goal? What are the interests of the people involved and how much does sharing those interests matter to the people involved? For some, shared interests matter a great deal. For some they don't. I've had a very very successful 21+ year relationship with very very few shared interests. Fortunately I don't place importance on whether or not we like the same music or have the same friends. I am my own person and we don't have to spend every free minute of our lives hanging out with one another. For others, the values and morals will be a huge deal. Especially if you plan on living together. Less so if not. And on and on and on......... I don't care about age. There are things much more important to me.

quote: ORIGINAL: LillyBoPeep Des has some good points, but honestly, not all 20-something females are into the same things. I like to go out sometimes, every now and again, but I don't need to go dancing every Saturday, nor do I want to. The typical club scene isn't really my scene. I'd be just as happy staying in and watching a documentary. =p It is nice to have someone who's willing to do that sort of stuff with you, though -- if you're always having to go alone, it kinda sucks. That stuff is important to think about. I don't think you should make EVERY decision based on whether or not friends and family will agree, but if you plan to take a course of action that may alienate everyone you know, then you'd better be prepared for that. The things I asked about are the problems in the relationship between my late father in law and his second wife. These are things she complained about. She also complained that no matter what she thought about, he shut it down, because he had considered it in the past. She lost all of her friends and had nothing in common with any of his. He and my ex were estranged for many years after he married a woman only ten years older than the ex. The ex never felt comfortable or welcome in her house. She never felt comfortable with the ex, as a result the relationship between all of them was very awkward. Oddly enough, the thing that seems to bother most people I know who have done this is the fact that the younger one never got to listen to their choice of music. But I was talking about marriage and long term relationships. Which isn't what the op is talking about as he's just abandoned his wife for the hot young thing. To whom I'm betting he hasn't bothered to introduce his kids to, and I'm equally sure he won't agree to go to her parents house come Thanksgiving.

There's a big difference for me between casual dating and serious relationships. I'll accept much more of an age difference when it's casual and I know it's not going to last. For a serious relationship, I prefer no more than a 5 year age difference. When I was 18, I was seeing someone 18 years older. He wanted me to become the third Mrs. Rogers [:'(] I joined the military because I wanted to travel and get money for school. He did love me very much but we were at completely different points in our lives. Good luck with your 25 year age difference OP - you're going to need it - especially being only separated.

[/quote] hey DESFIP your miles off, she has no family, and I didnt leave my wife, we seperated because we both made a mistake and its pointless to keep up the lie , we have to stay friends but we cant get what each other truly wants anymore. and yes i will entroduce my son to her, my ex bf know my son and I now him, so dont judge people. in that light "going after a hot young toy" we are not a couple yet just friends.

Personally I think no more than 10 years either way would be ideal, but that's just me!

impishlilhellcat -> RE: age gap between partners (2/16/2012 7:19:13 PM)
I think whom ever gets you gets you. I've dated a lot older, but never younger. My husband is 7 years and 7 months older almost to the day. He gets me 100%. Therefore I think he's just perfect.

Currently helping a young man learn about BDSM. Me? 62. Him? 18. YIKES! He could be my GRANDSON! ! ! Found out earlier today that his Mom is 42, making me REALLY feel just a little old! OTOH - I now know ALL about the search for the "fountain" of youth. Get it? The fountain of youth? Actually, he makes me feel damn sexy and maybe that's what DeSoto had in mind. ..... Is DeSoto correct? I'm having memory problems, you see.... LOL!

quote: ORIGINAL: DarkSteven I once dated a sub who was 33 years younger than myself. I wear that fact proudly, that she was attracted to me despite the age difference I dated guys between the age difference of 3 years older up to 14 years older but also experienced twice that guys in their middle fifties caught my attention in recent years (so during beginning of my 30s)...right now I have a very soft spot indeed for a colleague who claims to be at the end of his 50s (I assumed he would be end of his 40s), visually he is sooooooooooooooooooo not my type and is married anyway, but personality wise, gosh he got my attention, he just rocks [:D] (I wouldn't be surprised if he is in a D/s relationship in his private life...) Therefore whillst I doubt to ever date a younger guy, regarding an older guy there ain't much a limit for me, ONCE the chemistry is burning hot [:)]

Lance, I gotta tell you, and this is just between you and I but....from your photo (you say you're 62)...I would never have guessed....honest. If someone had asked (which they haven't....but if they had....), I'd have said "he doesn't look a day over 61, 10 months 3 weeks, 5 days, 9 hours". But that's just me.

Close to 62 - close enough that I'm now wondering who the hell ARE you? That's right, I'm about 4 weeks out - less the 2 days of February - Just WHO are you? <You might have the day right.
