26 yr old girl with 52 yr old man, good idea or no?

Question

yes, hes got money and its me...

Answer 1

If you don't mind being used for sex... then its a great idea.

If you're looking for a love-based relationship, it's a terrible idea.

Older guys date young for sex... with a hot young girl. Nothing else.

Answer 2

I'm just getting out of a relationship with a girl that is 11 yrs younger than me. At first it was good and I thought she was pretty mature for her age but I soon realized how different we really were, "because of our age difference." I realized how childish she really is and want to tell her to grow up but you can't do that. I care about her but I can't see it happening. 26 and 52 on the other hand, I still think it's a bad idea but I'm not one to judge no matter what experience I've had. You wanted an opinion so this is mine. Good luck with that!

Answer 3

Good Rule of Thumb:
Never date anyone who could easily have a kid your age, or of whom, You could have a kid their age.
The greater the spread of years, the more liklihood that shared experiences will be lesser. It's no fun trying to find a common ground with someone who has no memory of Howdy-Doody (younger person) or Ninja Turtles (older person). Sometimes, the generation gap does indeed become too much of a gap between two people.
And also,
as persons age, maturity of the younger person kicks in more, and the two people can relate much better. But, it is still best to not have TOO many years between.
Something the younger person has to consider: Are you willing to become caretaker when your older spouse in a very short time after marriage, is needing assistance in eating, dressing, bathroom duties, and bathing...is that something the younger person would be able to comfortably step up to the plate and do for many many years?
Something for the older person to consider: Are you wanting to 'recapture your youth' and are 'using' this younger person for selfish needs? Willing to finish waiting for the younger person to finish maturing? Takes patience there, also.

Personally, I would say that 26 with 52 is too many because that is essentially double in years difference, and there would be less in common (other than sexually at first). Add 20 yrs, and you have 46 yr old female with 72 yr old male. If he takes incredibly good care of himself, then it is possible, but we're pushing some statistics of aging at this point...

Lots to consider. Be wise and think it out thoroughly.

Answer 4

Sounds good to me. When I was 52 I was going out with a couple of girls 24 years old. We had a great time.

Answer 5

No, he'll probably dump you for an even younger girl!
You have nothing in common, he'll never want children. He'll always feel like your father, not your lover. And if you haven't grown old with the man, and accepted him over the years and what his body will change to, you'll probably be grossed out by him! I know I'm grossed out by the thought of him trying to snag a 26 year old, that's just PERVY!

Answer 6

You're going to have to think about the long term effects/situation. Sure, the guys got money, but are all those material things going to keep you happy, or will you eventually cheat on him with a much younger, not-so-rich guy? Is this man a solid man or just a guy who makes up for his shortcomings with money?

You should give yourself time to make this decision. Try it out, date the guy, there's definitely no rush to put a ring on that finger. You're still very young. So take time, and LEARN.

Answer 7

When I was 24 I was talking to a 52 yr old man...we had a lot of chemistry and got along great (conversation wise), he lived in NJ I lived in the dominican republic, when we finally met in person it was horrible...he had sent me pics of him when he was and looked much younger. I was very disappointed to see he looked old enough to be my grandpa. I broke it off right away, we were just too different in many ways...where I wanted to go he had already been. It's just too different worlds and it will tire you eventually, but it's up to you to decide. Good luck!

Answer 8

If i was the 52 yr old man... Hell yes!

if i was the 26 yr old girl, hmm. He'd really have to have somethin goin on.

Answer 9

If you like him or love him then don't let it stop you. It's not like you are 12 and he is 38. You are both adults and you are mid-twenties so you should have a strong sense of what you want in a relationship. Don't let age stop what could be beautiful love. Don't listen to these people who think age is everything. Go with your heart and don't worry about what society thinks. Society is not always right. Society is wrong about a great many things.

Answer 10

Not a good idea and this is why. Usually, there is nothing to talk about because you are from different generations and different time periods so there will be a legitimate knowledge gap and possibly philosophical gap as well. You have to be with someone that you can talk to because when everything else fails, that is what you are going to be doing with that person.

Answer 11

There is nothing wrong with it provided that:-

1. neither of you are married;
2. if you are looking at marriage as opposed to a fling, he has enough in savings to make up for the lost years.
3. you are not particularly social, because it is not as easy to party with friends.
4. he is in good shape or you can get him into good shape quickly - for example, weight loss issues.
5. if marriage, there is not to be some extended engagement.
6. you are really wrapped in each other.
