Many black men suffer from high cholesterol hypertension which means that they may be on medication.
Medication = increased chance of impotence.
After the age of say?.... 26 IMO it doesn't really matter.
At 29 I dated 10 years older at 34 I dated 10 years younger and now at 40 my FH is 10 years older.
I prefer my older man.![]()
I've dated a guy 14 years my senior when I was 23...he was 37.
It was a good experience. He didn't have any children, but wanted them, he knew what he wanted, had experienced a lot, educated, very generous.
But, one thing that kinda weirded me out was his friends. He didn't seem 37 (to me), but every time I was around his friends, I instantly noticed the age difference. Most of his friends were late 30's/early 40's and I remember thinking, why are you hanging out with these "old" people? Of course, my friends were young, so I'm expecting his friends to be young like mine too. It was weird. We went to a party at one of his friend's GF's house and there was this couple there who had a 19 yr old son, and I was like, I'm only 4 years older than their son and they're talking to my BF about stuff I don't even know about.
Overall, great experience. I didn't know myself well enough to be involved in that type of relationship because he has a dominant personality and I don't so, it wouldn't have worked anyway, but I have no regrets! He taught me a lot.
Not a lot of personal experience with this for me. But one of my friends who dated a guy over 20 years older then her couldn't believe it when he rolled up to the movie theater window and ordered two senior citizen tickets. Mind you, she had just cracked 40! Yeah, that did not go down well.![]()
I briefly dated a guy that 20 years my senior!
I'm really bad about guessing someone's age - so if they look good I assume they’re younger. He was the one that mentioned our age difference when we first met. But the same thing happened to me......all of his friends seemed like really old men to me and I just felt out of place among their wives and girlfriends.
ps. we never spelt together - but I kept thinking about that episode of Sex and the City when Samantha have sex with the old dude with the wrinkled behind!!!!

SO is 9 years older than me. To be honest I want out.
I don't have any personal experience to add but I would just encourage you (general 'you') to use forethought. Yeah, you're 25 and he is 45 now, but what happens when you marry this guy, 30 years go by and you're still reasonably "young" at 55 and he is a 75 year old fart, that is, if he is even still alive. I wouldn't want to be "starting over" at 55/middle aged. That, to me, is a HUGE CON!!!
I couldn't see myself going over more than 10 years.

I read an article about a young woman (in her mid-late 20's) marrying an older man (in his 50's). things went well, they got married. well...she got a job (wasnt working before) he stopped working (because he felt he was too old to keep working), she got mad...they divorced...now she owes him alimony....and lots of it!
