Should older women date younger men?

at the end of the day he will probably have great fun and learn a lot, that later girlfriends will thank her for

Perhaps at the Y.

Demi Moore recently filed for divorce from Ashton Kutcher. I've always said the older woman/younger man relationship is, er, precarious. Demi Moore, sexy though she was, couldn't compete with the 20-somethings throwing themselves at her husband.

there's a couple of different ways to look at that. their relationship lasted for quite a while, ten years or more was it, i don't remember, which is pretty good by today's standards, when most marriages seem to end in divorce, whether the woman or the man is older or whether the participants are the same age.

so are you saying that they should never have bothered in the first place, because it was bound to end?

also there's more to a relationship than looks, and if he dumped her because of a few wrinkles, that shows him up to be pretty shallow. at the end of the day i'd say temptation would have gotten to him in his line of work no matter how old his wife was. look at wayne rooney for example, if guys get the chance to play away, a lot of them take it.

the problem i would have with 32 and 17 is that i doubt his conversation would be up to much!

if both are adults, it's their own decision and risk, in my opinion.

since when did you have to be an adult to be in a relationship?

I've been in the same relationship since i was 17, and to be fair about the only shared interest me and my partner has is our son we are polar opposites.

(good girl meets bad boy senario )

anyway back to op, yes they can date who they want. The only problem that could be an issue would be, lets say they date for 5 years, get married then 2 years into Marriage, he wants kids, she might have left it too late and face issues Falling pregnant.

That's the only long term problem i can think of, and the only real difference between and older man going out with a young woman

chelsea quote since when did you have to be an adult to be in a relationship

you do not,but when one is nearly twice the age of the other i.e 32 and 17 it neither matters if it older man/teenager or older woman/teenager,it still feels like a case of exploitation in my honest opinion.


i genuinely think the adults who target the teenage group are no better than pedo,s who are grooming a victim.

oh dear, that's quite the accusation you're making there.

Not everyone needs protecting, most people know their own minds, and most 17 year old boys would jump at the chance to get with an older woman.

[gc1966]

i make no accusations,all i have done is express an opinion.after all i thought that was the whole point of a forum,where exactly did i cross that line from opinion to accusation.

in my opinion not all 17 year old males suffer from the oedipus complex,speaking from experience i know i never did.

blurring the lines from two adults having a relationship to one adult and a teenager having one is a entirely different scenario.

[Canker_Canison]

Hell, I did the same age difference at his age. I showed her a couple of things she'd never thought of.

Not to long back I was with someone 10 years older... It didn't work, but you just don't know how things will go when you start.

I'm now with someone 3 months older than me, like it matters. I do occasionally think about how things could be with someone younger. But then I look at the way my body reacts to hard exercise..... I'm not rich enough to bag a younger model

I'm far better off where I am. But everybodys different.

comparing someone to a peado is suggesting that you think that they're behaviour is accusing.

Im pretty sure a peado choses its victims based on their state of innocence both inside and out. And 17 year olds, male or female certainly do not represent that of a minor.

Least by going out with an older woman that boy in the OP knows shes not with him for his money or fame, as she has it herself.

I didn't say anything agaisnt stating your opinion, i was merely saying my own opinion on yours

No better than peado's who are grooming a victim.

No better than peado's

that's what you said.

*bangs head against wall*

anyways your veiws on the vulnerability of that of 16/17/18/19 year olds, and that of peado's is for a different argument i will save for another day
