Is a 45 year old guy too old for a 34 year old woman?
the answer is no. but is you switch the genders.
sharethe answer is no. but is you switch the genders.
shareWell if you switch genders and you are either Cher or Madonna, that age gap is WAY too small
shareNo in either direction.
I dated women in their mid-to-late 30s when I was in my 20s.
my niece is 34 and her fiance is 45. and she's pregnant. so it better work
shareI think that would be true regardless of anyone's age though, wouldn't it?
EDIT: Meaning, wanting the relationship to work, which is what I thought you meant. Not sure, though.
pregnancy adds a whole new dimension. she's been through a few boyfriends her own age. i find it find strange she has fallen for this older guy. my brother says he a good guy and he's got the seal of approval
shareWhy would it be an issue with the genders switched?
sharethe kids thing
shareI'm not sure I understand?
You mean if the guy wants to have kids?
yes.
shareWell, I'm going to assume that if the man wanted kids he wouldn't be with a woman who a. already has them, or b. would have a high risk pregnancy.
I hate to be this type of person, but comments like this are like when doctors refuse to give tubal ligations without a husband's consent or won't do until a woman is much older because she might change he mind. I would hope that people discuss their wants before they get into serious relationships.
husband's consent in 2024? where do you live ethiopia??
shareNope. I live in Canada. You know this.
Because it's pretty much permanent it's almost impossible to get unless you've already had kids. There are doctors who will do it, but it's pretty rare. I haven't heard much about husband consent here, but check stories from the US. Georgia, North Carolina, and Virginia all require written consent of the patient's spouse.
this doesn't happen in canada
shareSpousal consent no, but it is still really difficult to get an elective tubal ligation in Canada without having more than one child. It's a fight even when you've just had one. In Alberta we have Catholic run public hospitals that will only do one if it's medically required after a c-section.
shareI WAS 23 WHEN I HOOKED UP WITH THE DEVIL...SHE WAS 40.
KARMA OWES ME A HOT YOUNG CHICK TO RUIN.
what age range are you looking for??
share30ISH...I WOULD BE WIDE OPEN AGE WISE IF I FOUND A WEED SMOKING,MANNEQUIN LOVING GOOFBALL THAT I ALSO FOUND ATTRACTIVE...BUT AS A BURNT OUT,JADED BASTARD....I NEED SOMEONE WITH LIFE LEFT IN THEM...THAT I CAN FEED FROM.
shareI'm confused. So you're saying you hooked up with your 40-year-old self when you were 23? How is that possible?

It's fine either way. The cougar thing.
shareDespite a push to accept so many sexual preferences, some seem to feel they have a right to shame Older Man x Younger Female relationships, assuming the woman is being led astray and can't make her own decisons.
Laura Dern made a big deal about the age gap between herself and Sam Neil in Jurrasic Park, yet I always thought they were within average age gap limits. Laura always looked much older to me. Point is no one cared until it became a thing and Dern decided decades later to complain about it.
I agree with this. I've always chosen to be with older men. I've connected with them on much better level than guys my own age. I'm sure now people would be screaming that half my boyfriends from when I was in my late teens were pedophiles, but I chose them. My parter now is only 9 years older than me, but we've been together almost 20 years now so...
shareIt used to be a very common thing for women and older teen girls to be with older men.
It makes sense in a lot of ways. The older man is calmer, more established, experienced etc I have dated older women and found the same. It is a different dynamic to dating someone your own age.
For a man dating a younger woman it is fun and romantic usually.
