She's gotta be young enough to be my daughter
35% Normal
38 Comments

I am 47 years old and seem to only have long-term relationships with women young enough to be my daughter. Not that I mind by any means because, let's face it, a middle aged man who has dated mostly women young enough to be his daughter does not seem to be the norm in society, although it is not looked down upon nearly the same way it was 20 years ago, and many men are envious of me for this. But, then again, it is usually the ladies who start the flirting - at least I think so.

Anyway, I have had several relationships with women who are "within my age range," and we get along great, i.e. no real fighting, enjoy each other's company and so on, but those relationships don't last for more than a year and usually less than six months before we grow tired of each other, whereas many of the relationships I've enjoyed with younger women have lasted well over 3 years, and most of them have been open, polygamous relationships. Probably 75% of the longer-term relationships (2-5 yrs) I've had over the past 20 years have been with women/girls from 17 to 23.

What do you think? Is this normal, or am I just one lucky ol' dude?
Do you think it's normal?

I'll label you as a sick pedophile. But anyways you cant expect a 17 year old to settle down with you as she hasn't even lived her life, think about that.
As i live in England i do not see this as a problem because the legal age for sex here is 16 and over.
Other people may judge you such as Americans as their legal age is 18-21 depending on the state.
I am an 18 year old girl and ive always been with older men but no older than 25.
Age shouldn't really matter you should just follow the heart.

actually, there are several states where the legal age of consent is 12, some 14, but most are 16 and many of those have the caveat that the age spread must be no more than 5 years if the younger partner is under the age of 18

and you, dear lady, are a narrow-minded prude with a severely judgmental attitude which stems from a sickening level of self-righteousness. GET A GRIP!
matter of personal taste, I suppose, the only thing you'd have to be careful of is the emotional maturity of the girls you date. That said, there's a bunch of 40 year old women (and men) who have problems with that, so you should probably just be careful in general... XD
I think you should really find someone you really love and someone who feels the same way but someone to really hold on to. Otherwise you will be a bitter old man paying those same age girls to have sex with you when you are 70 years old.
go you man
its not exactly normal
but not really awfull eather just dont go to young.
Normal
I love how people base there answer's on the legal intercourse age of there country / county..


No dude , i think most girl's like older guy's..
or so im lead to belive , beside's nothing like some fresh meat :D

and seeing as they don't stick around longer than 5 year's , i'd say carry on ;)
I only like guys two or three years older, to be honest anybody older than two or three years is just weird, and kinda gross. I have no idea why. It just is.

It's completely understandable, british_love, that you would only like guys close to your age. What I don't understand is why you would think it would be gross to be with an older man. Maybe you could enlighten me on this.
:( That reminds me of that US history teacher who was bangin one of my classmates before and after class... it was really sad because the girl thought she was ugly cuz she was teased when she was younger for wearing glasses... so she thought the only dudes who would like her are older men... poor girl.
Plenty normal man.
Society doesn't tend to look at it positively, but if it did, pedophilia would be a bigger problem than it is now, so what can you do about it?
i believe you can have a relationship with whoever you want as long as you are both happy!!!
you like to be in control. if your that much older then a woman, you can always have the upper hand. older women are more self-confident and opinionated. you are more like equals and cant be the boss all the time.
your probably a control freak and like to control younger girls. you probly tell each one you love them so much and buy her loads just like a sick pervert.
You are just a dink who likes to brag.
That totally normal. Most girls like a man who is mature. Then again there is also those older woman who like younger men. The guy version of it is not always talked about compared to the women.
Yeah, the other guys may be envious, but don't let that spoil your fun. The girls seem to be perfectly happy with the situation, so why shouldn't you be?
You sound like a "normal" guy and not some sick creep. So I'm going to say as long as they're of legal age, knock yourself out. I know a lot of women, myself being one of them, who like older men. Now, I've never been with someone over 10 years my senior, but who knows? Maybe one day. Just be careful that these women truly love YOU and not your money... or your age. Some tend to have "daddy issues" and that is never a good thing. But as long as they're legal, happy, you're happy - it's all good
bullshit. The legal age of consent is 16 if the parents consent, and that is the youngest in any state. Your breaking the law if she's 17 and does not have parental consent. That is technically rape and the state will imprison you.
cool im going there lol
The problem is not age per se, but the differing mentalities of the two people.

The main problem is that if you are dating say someone 25 years younger than you are at the age of 22, a 22 year-old wants different things in life compared to a 47 year-old. Even if two people are of the same age, if they want different things in life (eg. one is a family person and the other is a career person), there could be trouble coming their way.

The reality is that most twentysomething people want different things from people your age. You might want to start a family while she still wants to travel the world and explore new adventures. You know, things like that.
If the chicks are over 18.. why the hell not. Don't listen to most of the people on here.. all they see is a man over 40 and a high school girl or something.. this man is not a pedophile. Learn the meaning before you start ragging on him.. So young women find him attractive, theres nothing wrong with that. My dad is 50 and I am 24. My parents are divorced, and when I went to visit him.. he took me to clubs and bars, and he was the man! Got more girls than me.. well not really. But we worked together and got girls my age to easily want to come home with us. Now don't think any sick thoughts people.. whatever my dad did with his girl they did on their own time. The moral I am trying to get from this story is that a man can be 40-50-60.. all that matters is that he knows how to have a good time.. and that the woman (over 18) clearly has something to find attractive. Everyone automatically assumes once someone reaches a certain age then they should be forced to only date within a certain age group. Get real people,you heard age is nothing but a number, but really age is what you make it, and what you make others see inside you.
My boyfriend once had sex with a 17 year old girl. She lied to him about her age just so she could sleep with him. He was 46 at the time. He had a couple of 18 year old girlfriends too after that. He also has the habit of attracting young women. He would laugh and he can't believe it because right now, he's still attracting young women. He thinks that he's getting old and ugly. I think you're blessed just like my boyfriend. To me age doesn't matter as long as she's legal age and that your feelings for her are genuine.
Yeah but you're just a Slag Lol
@: 6xygirl
I agree that it's normal to like teen girls and young women, but it kind of bothers me that your bf and this guy is bragging about the young age of his conquests.
cradle robber
You must be a real charmer/looker! Props!
It's the sickos who like 8 yr olds and shit who should be getting nerd raged on. This man is a not a sicko and he's acting appropiately within the law by realizing legal age of consent so cheers. You're a lucky old guy.
Men who enjoy romance with females who are old enough to comprehend reality are normal.

I would say you're not normal if you were dating females that were FAR too young to comprehend the results of their actions/feelings.

I assume you don't touch anyone under 16, right?

Don't listen to these people that say you are "sick" because I am a psychologist and I can tell you that your attraction is normal.

Don't cross the lines of the law though. In most places the youngest you can touch is 16. Don't go under that or you're asking for a life of hell with the law.

Morally, what you're doing is fine as long as you're not harming them or misleading them.
Pedo
You do have a problem, A serious problem.
Imagine how those girls mothers must be feeling? You are 20 years older than them and that is wrong. I believe it to be pedophila especially if they are 17.

See someone about it.
Date people your own age
I can tell you from experience, I was (and still am, sometimes) that girl who was always seeing a much older man. You need to make sure that whomever you date is legally old enough to do so, but also mentally and emotionally mature enough. There are a lot of 16 year old girls (16 is the age of consent where I live) that have NO BUSINESS dating older men. It depends on the person. It may be a fantasy, but sleeping with someone too young to handle it can have really terrible consequences for both parties, but especially for the girl.
The reason why it lasts so long is because it might as well be a father daughter relationship. young girls, are susceptible and easily manuevered, always looking for that protection from an older experienced partner. The older partner in turn feels younger and full of life to have that asthetically pleasing beautiful thing to be around, no one wants the nagging hag of an older woman, correct?

The reason why it last long is because older women are smarter and will not tolerate bulls.hit from men, they know the ropes. younger women however are less experienced and "give in"


Let me ask you this, and this will essentially prove my point. For those long lasting relationships, tell me, who has been the one "in control?" in other words, who took charge, who wore the pants, in the relationship?
Its normal in the sense that many if not all men want the younger female partner.


The difference is that you give in to this fantasy while other men do not.
PEDOPHILE.
