k well ever since i was 15 i have known i was attracted to older guys. my first real relationship was when i was 16. it was with a 35 year old guy. my parents wernt happy at first but after about a year they came round to the idea and actually started to like the guy. the relationship ended when i was 19 and i was kinda on the rebound so i started going out and having one night stands with guys who were a similar age to me, but it just wasnt the same. so by the time i was 20 i was in another relationship with a guy who was 47 and we had a great sex life but we finished after a year because my parents didnt like the fact that all the guys i brought home just got older and older. the thing is i am now 23 and am in a relationship with a 78 year old guy. (he looks very good for his age and is in very good health) he is the most amazing guy and we have a very passionate love life. we have been together for 4 months now but i am so scared to bring him home to meet my parents as he is 36 years older than them. i no that they will not approve. after my relationship with the 47 year old guy, they said to me that if i kept bringing home home guys who were so much older than me, they would have no choice but to disown me. i love my parents very much and respect there opinions. but i am in love with my boyfriend and i dont want to have to choose between him and my parents. how can i break it to them that my guy is 55 years older than me?
Sisophous gets amused at how many self-righteous, narrow-minded people like to lecture and dictate how others should lead pick and choose when they can't even control their own dysfunctional lives and maintain relationships long term.
I see only one problem with someone so much older and that is if you want to have children. It would be a disservice to have a child with someone who because of the geriatric factor would not be around for long.
If anyone gives you an ultimatum, dismiss it, lead your own life and have fun. Life is too short to live under the shroud of others.
Best to you!
you're not alone! I totally have the same issue, since I was younger & still; I'm 18 now, but I've alway's loved older guy's & my folk's have been lecturing me, (amoung other narrow-minded people who can't see-passed society's brainwashing) about it for year's - it pisses me off royally! I so feel your pain, my ex' was 50 when I was 17 & a half and thing's were amazing; we had some great time's & he was an amazing man...unfortunately he was running from the law & thing's tore us apart, but we were in-love & I miss him dearly. But my family, especially my folk's had a hayday w/ that & even threatened to call the cop's, I was devestated - had many sleepless night's of fighting & lot's of unnecessary bullshit. So believe me, you're not alone.
Basically, I see it as once your 17, 18 or older than that - you're a legal adult, (just like the other guy on here said, forgive me for I forgot his name); but yes...(man you hit the nail right on the head w/ everything you said ;), wish more people could think for themselves like us). But yes, like he said: once you're a legal adult, you should be able to date whoever the f*** you want, love is love - and if you've found it, it's a beautiful thing, man - and nobody should be able to tell you otherwise/tear it away from you - it's nobody's right! Just follow your heart & do what YOU feel is right for yourself...because this life is short and we've g2 make the best of it & be ourselves: nobody ever 'truly' got anywhere following the pack ;).
Anyways, I hope this help's - if you guy's are in love, enjoy it; no matter how long or short it last's...don't let your folk's or anyone else dictate that. Just be happy!
Well, peace and all for now -

Plus your parents gave you life, you atleast owe it to them to date a younger guy, but just listen to your heart. I think you know the right answer, what difference is it gonna make by us commenting you.
