The parents are the same age as the man. He already has adult children and can not have any more. She thinks he is more mature and are spirtually connected with good communication skills. Even though he is a good person you can't change the age difference. I see alot of sacrifice and losing out on growing together with a person with someone closer to her age through her 20s and 30s but she thinks he is Mr. right. Please give suggestions on the pros and cons of this relationship.

no. i think this is too much of an age difference. She is in her prime years and he will slow her down. She may love him and think he is perfect but i think in time she will regret it and wish she was with someone closer to her own age.

That is a BIG gap...the mature thing..hell u can be 51 & still immature ..but if she feels that cool cool. She has to really think, im 24 w/ no kids..is she going to want one..not everyone does & knows it....a lot of things he's experienced & may not seem so "excited" about anymore where as she of course hasnt & is...sort of reminds me of Adrianne Curry (ANTM) & Christopher Knight(The Brady Bunch) yea i watched their show..they have a big age difference & look at how it affected their relationship.
Deep down if she's sure this is what she wants, then she should go with it..EVERY relationship has it's issues.it's just boils down what you want/need, what u r willing to accept/tolerate...what it's going to take to make u happy/content..& u cant base ur relationsihp on others views. their advice is good but others arent having ur relationship u are...well she is..good luck

No I don't think it's a good idea. First of all the 24 year old is so young still. She can still be having fun, and expierencing the world. The 51 year old has lived his life, he will be more into staying home and doing mellow activites. There interest will be so different.

What has age got to do with it? Love is blind. No one knows the future. The old man could just as easily have to take care of the younger woman if an accident or sickness should happen. It does not matter how many years you are together, as long as they are happy.

She should only date him if she wants to be a toy. There is no reason a man would want to date someone that is the age of his child unless it is for the sex and to make everyone else his age say, "Wow, look at that hottie that Bill landed. Wonder how much he's paying her." What are they going to have in common? What if she wants kids, but "he... can not have any more"? Then what?

erm...
hmm...
let say they 2 person really get together..
the 51 year old.. guy.. is reaching his retirement age very soon..
and... the 24 year old gal... will have to work.. to be the bread winner of the family...
what if later in their life they have a child...
what i have learnt in biology..
is that.. males tends to have a shorter life span then women...
...... the gal.. must be prepare.. ... mentally..
what is if the 51 year old got long term ..sickness...
the 24 year old gal.. have to 1st earn money to support the family..2nd.. serve.. her husband.. 3rd... take care.. of her kids.. and .. lots ...
the mentality of a 51 yr old and a 24 yr old is diff..
i would hope they gain more understanding in each other.. for a peroid of time before rushing into something serious..
.. that will more probably be the cons..
the pros..
maybe.. she is happy living..with him...

If it's just 'dating' then age difference not a real issue. At 24 she should be old enough to know what she wants and what she may have to give up.

Dating is not the same as marrying someone. And marriage in Western countries often lasts only 3 to 5 years anyway.
This guy is a lot more experienced in life than she is. And she can learn a lot from him.
Who is to say that she is right or wrong? It's her life. And it's her choice.

age is just a number, once you are above the age of consent, BUT some people might say that he would of been 20 when you were only 7. Something to think about

It's kind of creepy. A good thing is that he's probably secure and doesn't play mind games, on the bad side, she may be stuck taking care of an old person while she's in the prime of her life.
