How do you tell parents you're dating a 24 year old man?
I'm 34. How do I tell my family? They freaked out when I dated a man 2 years younger once so I know they're going to be grossed out. How do I tell them about this?
Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

No problem here. If, on the other hand, you were 14, we'd have something interesting to talk about.

You're 34 years of age. Don't tell them unless it is a very serious, committed relationship with a future. If that's the case, it wont matter to you what they think, and if they're good parents, they will ultimately support your choices. If it's not serious, there is legit no point in telling them shit lol. Enjoy your young man fucking.

It's serious lol so I'm gonna have to tell them. He looks older than me so maybe that'll work in my favor? I hope. I'm just nervous because they're gonna say something and I'll have to defend it :|

Awwww I get the struggle. I've dated much younger men. Honestly, I wouldn't bring up age, and just allow your parents to get to know and love him as a person. It's something that usually doesn't come up & if it does it can be hand waved with a joke "mom! It's so rude to ask a lady her age." Hopefully, by the time they realize hes quite a bit younger than you, they will know him better as a person and realize that he makes you happy. If that's not enough, then tell them to politely fuck off, as you're an adult and can date whomever you want.

Age is such an overrated quality in a partner. I wouldn't bring up his age unless they ask and if they ask, tell them. What're they going to do about it? They should be happy you have someone.

Tell them something much worse first, like they do in the movies, so when you reveal the truth it won’t seem so bad. Ideally a race and gender your parents would be most unhappy about.

Lol. My bf is three years younger. He was 23 when we started seeing each other but I told my family we were going out drinking for his 21st. Fuck em.

Provided that both parties can consent, I see nothing wrong with age gaps.

Take a picture of his erection at least your mom and sisters will understand.
Guys won't say anything if the women think it's okay.

This comment is downright disgusting.
Taking pictures of someone without their consent is never okay. You're insane.

Who said anything about "without his consent", most 24 yo males I know have a hard time keeping it in their pants and will show it to anybody who wants to look!
Op could ask him to show it to her mom and sisters in person, he might be hesitant but probably would do it.
That to me would be, (how did you say it), the disgusting approach.Comment Hidden ( show )-

What a great defense. Not all guys are even like that. Just admit you're a disgusting sexist that doesn't believe in consent.

"Not all" applies to any and everything. That's why I said 'most'. I'm not sure of the actual statistics but I would almost bet it would come out to 51% or more. Making the statement true but leaving plenty of room for "not all".
Of course I'm speaking of my experience quite a few years ago, of the males I knew in their mid twenties. Today there is a movement that anyone who claims to be male maybe ashamed of their gender and may not want to show it to, or admit it to anyone.
