Is It Normal?
What do you think?
Secret Love
I am completely in love with the most amazing guy I have ever met. We're perfect for each other in practically every way.... except that he is a lot older than me (as in a couple of decades). This really bugs me because I cannot tell *anyone* about it yet (personal choice, can't really bring myself to tell anyone)! I don't really want advice on whether I should tell or not, I just want to know if anyone else has or knows of anyone that has had a 20+ age gap with a partner, or whether they would think that sort of thing was for freaks.

It's frowned upon :( like that
You're in luck, Andy Rooney is celebrating his 187th birthday next week. Buy him a hedge trimmer for his eyebrows, he'd love that. Or perhaps a rototiller, several pink flamingos and a birdbath.
Maybe there are some good things about older guys, such as they no longer think of speed limits as a challenge; or whenever they throw a wild party Willie Nelson shows up instead of the SWAT team. There are also some bad things about that kind of relationship, like when you wake up in the middle of the night and realize all the hot things you liked about him are all across the room on the table (hair, teeth, glasses, etc.), or when you're at a Kiss concert and he gets caught copping a senior's discount.
I know his scooter is a sweet ride and his cane gives him a vaguely distinguished, "Mr. Peanut-esque" look but you have see past that and look at what's on the inside. In his case; cabbage, bran and lots of prune juice.
OMG, I swear I come here just to see what you write.^ love it

I had sex with your daughter for health insurance.
Age is just a number unless you 're jailbait!
Been there done that (he was 15 yrs older)... Alas we didn't stay together, but it was fun while it lasted.

Do not listen to the immature pricks out there. All I have to say is...Do you truly love him? Would you not mind being with him till you are seperated? is you say yes then stay and be happy. If you say no then take a hard look and decide if its worth all the trouble.
Totally up to you really, although recently i've had a 17 yo gir tellinb me that she wants to go out with me, i am single, but i'm 25 yo - i couldn't go out with her - waaaaaaay to young for me that
Not to mention at 17 she is a minor....
Does he love you too?
Does he love you too? that's probably most important, if so then the age gap should not be a big issue. I have come across many people where there's been a big age gap, one couple I knew had 25 years between them, were really happy, and were together for 30+ years. For freaks? no way! I think a younger woman faced with men her own age may find them childish in many ways, and would quite Naturally find an older more mature man far more attractive.
If you are both in love I don't think it really matters. But you might want to think about it before any commitment.

SUGAR DADDY!
It is okay just as long as YOU hit the JACK POT!
hmm
i'm not sure abuot the loving but i've given a few grannies a good SHAKIN'! Physically ijust shake them that wasn't a innuendo for sex. You're dirty. I FUCK SHEEP
I think it is becomming more acceptable and more normal. I was in a relationship when I was 18 and he was 45. We are still very good friends, it may not last forever because you really have to work at it. There are going to be so many things that you both don't have in common because of that age gap, just learn to accept each other as they are and not try to change anyone but yourself.

He is a pedophyle
I'm sorry, but I consider any man that chooses a young girl 20 years or more younger than him, a pedophyle. He is trying to make himself feel younger but the sex is all that matters and that he have a trophy of his manhood to display to the world. Do you really think he cares what you have to say?? Dream on. How will you feel when he begins to need nursing care from you? Don't waste your life. Women live longer and so it makes more sense for them to be with YOUNGER men. I have been in relationships with both older and younger men, and believe me, the older woman, younger man one is the best both sexually and emotionally. If you are in it for the money/security, try making it on your own. You will feel stronger rather than dominated and controlled.
depends
How old are you? If you're 15, yeah, I'd say stay away from it. If he's putting moves on you, or even letting you put moves on him, then he's NOT normal. If you're 20 or older, you've probably matured to where you understand yourself, and you aren't going to grow out of the way you feel for him now.

Personally, I went out with a 16 year old girl when I was 23 (I was under the impression she was 18), and although she was very mature for her age, that didn't change the fact that it was obvious it wasn't going to work because of how the age difference affected things. If it was the same difference in age but she was 22 or so, I dont think it would have been as much of an issue.

as long as you are not a miner!
as long as u r over 18, follow your heart
^ Exactly. Sweaty coal-covered bastards.
Older men can be very charming sometimes. It might feel like true love but I wouldn't trust that it is at this point.

Depending on how old you are, it might be okay. If you're a teenager still, stay away.
By the way I know how you feel. I have infatuations on older men all the time with a 20+ age gap. Never pursued them though.
Ignore the majority of posts, here.

Some of these people are obviously living in the dark ages. Not only is the older man/younger woman relationship NOT frowned upon, but it has became rather commonplace. I just have to wonder what cave these morons have been sleeping in.

Anyhow, there is nothing "freaky" about being attracted to an older guy, as they have many benefits...

A. You'll never see a box of Stridex in his medicine cabinet.

B. Words such as "w00t" will not be a part of his vocabulary.

C. He'll always have great advice.

D. And sexually, well, let's just say he's in no hurry to "get it overwith"... unlike the so-called "young studs ". ; )
