Are you robbing the cradle?

[ChrissyB]

Ok ladies, I was wondering today whether or not most of us tend to date/marry people around our same age? For some reason, I feel like nowadays age is much less of an issue.

So, who in here is dating or is married to a "youngin"? How much younger? By the same token, who found themselves an older man? How much older?

This should be fun

My husband is 9 years younger than me. I met him when he was 17 and I was 26. We didn't start dating until he was 21 and I was 30.

 

[ChrissyB]

That's hot! I love older women with younger men!!

 

[lady lina]

I'm dating someone older..... we actually get along really well.

 

[doublejo]

I haven't met a man under 25 since I became over 25 who interested me. This includes young men who are on the right track. Even when they are on the right track it just seems like I am moving backward if I try to date them.

 

[diamonddollfla]

Just call me Stella...

For some reason once I hit mid thirties older men didn't even try to talk to me. The only ones trying were way younger then me some in their early 20's so I stopped dismissing them and figured I need to open up to the possibilities.

I'm 38 and he's 28. We met when he was 25.

The mister is older than me by 7 years. I tried to date a younger man once and it was not for me.

 

[mnemosyne]

I was dating someone younger and that didn't work out. Now he's e-dating someone older than I am and I'm happy to be through.

 

[ChrissyB]

Hmmm... I notice you didn't mention how MUCH older

One of my friends dates a much older man and it seems like they really enjoy each other, he definitely treats her VERY well!

The cradle keeps poppin up .......its either....45-50's or 20somethings

I just gotta find the most suited one......

 

[BrooklynSouth]

Nope, they look but I like my dudes 50 and up....more to talk about.

 

[WhipEffectz1]

I like the young dudes!

 

[janiebaby]

I haven't been too attracted to guys IRL who are my age or older.

 

[DivineNapps1728]

My last SO was 1 year and 2 months younger than me...when we started dating that drove me nuts. Even now the idea of dating younger guys (even though our relationship was great while it lasted) freaks me out. Maybe when I'm a little older I'll be more open

 

[Ramya]

Boo is 8 years older than me. I don't date men my age. the youngest I'll go is 25--5 years older than me.

 

[*Happily Me*]

i'm 41 and current boo is 25.

 

[ChrissyB]

Im stella all the way.

i'm 41 and current boo is 25.

Get it girl! How did you two meet?

I never even SEE any younger guys here in DC for some reason and I only get "approached' by older men when I'm out running errands e.g grocery shopping, post office, etc.

For the most part, everyone I talk to is within 3-5 years of my age.

 

[erokawa]

My bf is 19 and I'm going to be 21 soon.

 

[LBoogie]

DH is 15 years older...I'm 28.

My cradle has been robbed and will never be the same. lol

 

[ms_xcarlett]

I did once..werent any major age gap..i was 20 he was 17....lets just say yeah dude was FINE but as time went on- IMMATURE to the max- its not something I`d be in a rush to do again- ever!

i met this particular one in at a lounge.

i met the last one online.

 

[gabby1]

My SO is 17 years older than me

 

[mochamom]

DH is 7yrs younger than me.

 

[tmichelle]

I'm married to a younger man by 2.5 years. He's the oldest in his family and I'm the youngest in mine so he doesn't seem to "respect his elders (me ) and do whatever I say like I tell him to.

 

[PittGirl06]

well i'm not with anyone but i tend to only be attracted to guys that are older....and as i get older, i find their age going up :-/ ....I think I'd draw the line at 20 years tho. As for younger guys.....not particularly interested. I can't even see myself with someone my own age, so younger??? No way Jose.

 

[Arcadian]

Not robbing the cradle (just the old folks home)

-A

 

[facets]

I'm 8 years older than my dh. Before him, I was mostly into older guys (10 yrs older than me and up)

 

[FlowerHair]

I've dated a few men around 30 these past months. I don't mind, but I don't want them too young

 

[MizAvalon]

I date men of all ages.

 

[OneInAMillion]

I'm so glad same decade was a response.

My SO is 3.5 years younger--in the beginning it really bothered me, because I dated someone almost 4 years younger before and immaturity was an issue. Not this time around though...

On a side note, my friends ALWAYS clown me for finding the young ones--I'm 27 and I always get approached by guys who are 23-24. I have a baby face though, so that's probably one explanation.
