I just turned 40. Is it wrong to date women in their 20s?

Answer 1

hell, i'm 42 & i love it. most of that age group treats me with
respect.

Answer 2

Hell yes it is wrong do you want your daughter date a 40 year old man but if you do then go right ahead an date your daughter think about what you are doing can you not find someone your on age it is plenty woman out there is your age so try look for woman your age what do you have in come with an 20 year so you have never grew up to become really man so you still an boy.the reason i say that because you want to date an 20 year old

Answer 3

No, no, no

love makes the world go around as long as the woman is an adult and there is a path to love for both of you age should not come into it.

by using the word "wrong" I'm assuming that you're asking a moral question. You need to be wary of your questions because you have to live with the consequences.

If enough people for instance said "wrong" as their answer and you went and dated the woman in her twenties anyway you might have a nagging feeling in your head that the relationship shouldn't work.

As you don't want any future moral dilemas a better question might have been.

I'm a 40 year old guy what do you think of me dating women in their twenties ?

This removes any moral overtones from the question.

Good luck

I hope it works for you.

Answer 4

I can't really answer that. It all depends on the persons involved. Because a person in their 40's has a different mindset on life than someone who's in their 20's. As long as both of you can understand that and adapt, then I don't see why it wouldn't work. Also, you have to be committed in the relationship. Usually if the relationship is interracial, they rarely work because of all the major cultural differences, same with marrying people with other religious backgrounds. I personally look at it from a realistic standpoint and knowing myself. I don't think I would want to go through that trouble, even though I think asians, blacks, and many other races are beautiful. It's reality that kicks in and says "c'mon".

Answer 5

You pose a very good question my friend. I am 47 and often told I appear to be 38 or 40. I suppose I still have the attitude of a 30ish person on the go constantly and able to mingle at all levels as you apparently do as well. I have dated womaen in their 50`s, 40`s, 30`s, 20`s, and one as young as 18. The 18 year old young woman worked at a video store I normally use and as it turned out had a crush on me. I was like you and concerned about the age gap but after we took the time to to just talk and get to know each other I was able to get beyond that issue with her help of course. That was two years ago now and she is doing well in college and still stays in contact and desires to get together for sex when ever she is in town.
So the answer is in some cases it is quite all right to date younger women and in other cases it is not advisable. Each case has it`s own set of defining lines, family of the girl and their attitude towards your age, the girls maturity level and stability. If she is a girlie girl stay away. But morally speaking I see nothing at all wrong and hope you my friend find what I`ve been priveledged to find and even better. Young womem are so full of zeal and are so ,,,,, well I`ll let you find out for yourself.
I`m not knocking women our own age mind you I still know afew of them who are just as able bodied as the younger ones, Thats why I gave a thumbs up to one woman who answered your question earlier.
Let me know what you find out as you decide whether to pursue or not.

Answer 6

No of course not but be aware that certain things will draw attention to the age difference:
Wearing checked slippers & warm sweaters - are you her Dad
Jeans with a nice pressed crease in them - hans up you oldie
Dressing like a 20 year old - you are trying too hard
Dying your hair that dodgy shade of 'man hair colour' brown
DO NOT look like the cat that has got the cream among your friends cos their partners will just call you a dirty old man!

Enough of this in all sincerity if it works for you both why not be happy and stop worrying - the only thing you must be aware of in time the age difference begins to show (a close friend of mines other half is 22 years older) - why not grab the chance to be happy go on SIEZE THE DAY!!!

Answer 7

No, gobble gobble while you can.
For all of the progress our culture has made on some issues, it is truly remarkable how the older man/younger woman ideal has persisted. Though there remains considerable disagreement about how old might be "too old" and how young might be "too young" (especially given legal considerations), most folks seem quite prepared to accept these relationships not only as normal, but perhaps even ideal.
Most women, whatever their age, have traditionally preferred an older man in the bedroom. "Younger men may look cute but older men have the experience to satisfy their partner, basically because older men have learned to slow down", says Linda in Las Vegas, Nevada. It is generally believed that younger men only want to please themselves. Carol, who is in her late 40s and lives in Flint, Michigan, advises, "Don't lose your attention for a woman in her 40s because she also has learned how to slow it down. They have become more comfortable with their bodies, which allows for better performance. Also the belief that women in their 40s are less active in the bedroom is just not true." Michael Webb, the author of the best-selling book "Fifty secrets of a blissful relationships" agrees. In his opinion, it is not the age difference that counts; it is the emotional chemistry that makes all the difference to the quality of a relationship.

Answer 8

This is about personal opinion really and you'll get plenty here I would imagine. I dated a girl once who was 10 years younger than me I was 30, she was 20. Although it was brilliant whilst it lasted I found that the girlfriends of my friends couldn't help but make bitchy comments about her age. This made her feel very awkward. Although I thought the world of her she was a little immature too and I would suddnely notice her age.

In my opinion if you and the girl are comfortable with it and having fun together then good luck to you. Just enjoy every day of it. You will however need to accept that you'll need to deal with people who are a little narrow minded about it.

Answer 9

I personally think that the concept of a 40 year old dating women in their 20s is absolutely repulsive. I am 40 and even thinking about the idea of dating a young nubile has driven me to say 10 Hail Mary's. Men like you should be locked up or, at least, surgically castrated. Also, I would very much hope that in the future you keep your lurid, prurient thoughts to yourself, rather than posting them on a respectable 'family' website like this. Praise the Lord!!!


PS. Got any phone numbers of young tottie that you can pass on?

Answer 10

Well I have a 21 year old and they have a child now the problem is she dated someone 41 and not only was he old enough to be her father but he was old enough to to the child's grandfather do you want that sort of thing said to you. I think not anyway I don't think some women are mature enough to understand a man of 40.

Answer 11

Hell no! You dont have a problem! Your the man! A woman in her 20s will appreciate what a man of your experience has to offer, cuz a guy in his 20s doesnt have that experience, and cant appreciate a woman at any age! You on the other hand do! Enjoy that young meat bro! Make me proud!
