What do think about guys dating girls who are older than them? Or what do you think about those girls?

Answer 1

As long as the 'dating' you're talking about is actually doing whatever it takes to get to know a person well enough to learn whether or not he or she might be a good life-mate candidate, and not the kind of 'dating' where the primary goal is before-saying-good-night mating, nor anything like it, I don't think there's anything wrong at all with anybody of any age dating anybody of any other age.

Although the times I have actually been the one to ask out a woman I knew to be older than I was could probably be counted on one hand, I have been asked out by older women and been on otherwise-arranged dates with older women, and those were some of my most memorable dates.

When I was growing up, lots of people spent a lot of time pointing out to me how riotous some other peoples' marriages were, and the vast majority of perpetually unhappy marriages they point out to me were of older women and younger men.

That's why I usually wasn't the one to ask a woman out if I knew her to be older than I was.

Now that I've had a lot more time to reflect on it, though, I would have to say that it has a LOT less to do with a person's age, and a whole lot more to do with a person's emotional maturity.

In my book, there are three kinds of maturity in dating: physical maturity, intellectual maturity, and emotional maturity, and a person reaches each level of maturity in that order.

The most obvious reason why it is so much more acceptable for dating age differences to be where the guy is a year or two older than the woman is because guys tend to become physically mature a year or two later than most women.

And for the small-minded, narrow-minded, or closed minded individual, since this is the only of these three kinds of maturity that can be seen, this is the only kind of maturity that matters, but physical maturity is not the only requirement for dating. The other kind of maturity that is required for dating is intellectual maturity.

If a person has no idea what their date's end-goal is for the date, they can wind up in various kinds of trouble: date raping, unplanned pregnancy, fisticuffs, being abandoned along some lonely roadside, getting malicious rumors spread around about them, and a whole lot more.

Intellectual maturity is where a person knows what all can go wrong on a date and knows what to do to avoid the pitfalls.

The third kind of dating maturity, emotional maturity, is reached when a person stops going on dates with the intention of doing whatever it takes in his or her particular society "to get laid" but starts dating with the goal of getting to know members of the attracted gender better, with the intent of at some point choosing which of the many possible specimens would make the most compatible mate-for-life. In other words, it is when the person puts his or her gonads in the back of his or her mind and keeps them there, however difficult that might actually happen to be.

As long as at least one of the daters has reached this level of maturity, I can see absolutely nothing wrong with him or her dating as many members of the target gender as he or she might desire, of any age at all.

Answer 2

Typically I always preferred girls about 5 years older. And typically dater those 10-12 years older. I liked that. Though now in a relation with a woman 17 years younger. Hed I met her in the conventional manner, the age difference, particularily her being younger would have halted things at the start. But we had so many other things that started it. We met on line but not through dating. Neither of us were looking. We just took to each other through conversations, I have never been so genuine and open to anyone. Maybe I should have been chasing younger women? Well, I feel young for my age and people in my family live very long and in good health. Otherwise the age difference would be a problem. I think I'm feeling about 30 years younger than I am. So my love is a woman my same age.

Answer 3

They are just people. Don't see why its ok for a man to be older than the girl and not the other way round.

Answer 4

♥i say there is nothing wrong with it, but if there is more than a 10yr age difference then i think its gross, and 10 yrs is like the oldest i would ever go ever ever ever, right now my man is 5 years older than me and i had a lil bit of a struggle getting comfortable with that...i just cant get past the whole idea of when the one person was like 10,the other person was like 20,yucky♥

Answer 6

it depends how much older u mean. if it's just a couple of years it's fine but if a 25 year-old dates a 14 year-old, I'd call her a pedophil.

Answer 7

i think they prefer girls with experience.older woman are also more caring and understanding.since they don't belong to the same bracket,both can acquire information that can lead to good coversation.i think older woman are excellent listener and lover.
