Absolutely!! My fiance is 33, I'm 28. I love her with all my heart! We balance each other amazingly. I was very lucky to have met her. The fact that she is older doesn't even occur to me anymore. :) She is a single mom too & I do everything I can to show her how much I love her. Just be a little patient with him- he probably hasn't learned all the life lessons that you have yet! hahaha I think it can work if you want it to. It's just like every other relationship: it takes work on both of your parts!! ;) Good luck!

it's a sociological thing. people are more willing to accept an older women with a younger man. There is something about a young man dating an older one that makes us want to cheer on the younger guy. south park addressed the issue, a 20/20 episode on the age of consent did the same thing. Bottom line in between Van Halen's song "hot for teacher" and ABC's new series Cougar town. It's becoming a norm. PS. I'm the younger guy in a relationship. we starting when i was 17 and she was 18. I'm now 18.

I think you should go with what your heart tells you. I mean age is just a number right. The norm is older man younger women but that doesn't mean that you can't do be with someone younger than you.
Its not so much if younger guys treat older women right, its if that one treats you right. Don't live your life by others rules, make your own. If you care for him, if he cares for you and it is working, stick with it. But if you are skeptical now and worry now, it won't be right tomorrow or the next day after that. Does he care for your children? Is he a good role model? Does he potray the things you want and need in a man and a father? These are some of the questions that you have to answer. If he can't fulfill a man's shoes then he shouldn't be around you or your children. Make that decision now, if you think their is a future, don't wait until later. later is going to be to late...

Well, it would seem that your asking about getting rid of him due to something else. If it were really about his age, you wouldn't have been together for almost a year. I'm 26, and I've been with my girl of 34 for about 6 years now. I know I treat her right, and we've got 4 kids(not all originally mine, but they're mine now). It sounds like your just looking for a reason to leave him. All men are not the same, you're the only one who knows if he treats you the way you need to be treated. If you have to ask, the answer is probably no. After age 21 it doesn't really matter how old your partner is physically, but more of how mature and old they seem mentally. Good Luck.

Heck yes it's fine, I sure would love to be with an older woman.
I'm 18 and wouldn't mind a woman of 21-23.
A little bit older would be fine, but gosh I wish I were lucky enough with older women >.<
The thing with society is, older men with younger women is viewed bad, cause guy can take easy advantage of a woman.
But a woman with a younger man is fine, it's not like the woman is going to rape the guy or take advantage.
Enjoy your relationship, all that matters is the love! :)

Dating younger men is an untapped resource for women. However, you have to be very selective about the guys you date, whether they are younger or older than you, because you have 3 children. Most of the guys you get involved with will be looking for a meal ticket and the use of your body. Sorry, but that's the facts. 22 is rather young and this guy probably doesn't have much to bring to the table. Considering your situation, you'd be wise to pass on this one; unless you've got a lot of time to waste. Whatever you do, use protection!

Oh, trick question. When you said "older women", I thought you meant "older". 27 is not old. But you are older than him, so I guess I understand.
I would say, dump him. He doesn't need your drama. Just the fact that you're asking this question shows how immature YOU are. You've been with him for a year. If you don't know if he treats you "good" by now, you never will.

I wish they would :p Older women don't play mind games and crap like that like young girls might. You should stick with him if he seems good to you. All guys are different, which means not every younger guy will treat you the same. I'm going to assume that your perception is keen enough to spot exactly when he's not the right kind of guy for you.
Just a bit of my 18 yr old perspective =p

You can't help who you live. He's over 21 so he can buy you a drink (even 18 is legal but 21 is more fun lol), that's basically all that matters. If the relationship is going good, keep him. Love can't count. Men are with younger women all the time, it shouldn't be a big deal if we do it.

this is really a question of is he right for you. Every guy is different. if you think he is good then have him stick around, if not then dont. 27 isnt really that much older than 22, so i think that you shouldnt worry about his age so much. if he does well with your daughters than keep him around. An older guy might not treat you good, so a younger isnt neccesarily bad.
