Pro's And Con's Of A Younger Man

Post by Hurghada Lady »

If you are a woman in their late thirties to fifties & you met a man say 8-10 years younger what would be the advantages & disadvantages of such an age gap?

If I was single then I would more than likely go for an older man :)

I agree with Keefy, I will say though that women are younger in mind and spirit so an 8-10 year age gap makes them equal

I would agree with sharm4me and DJ Keefy after all what is age but a state of mind!! Nowadays people stay younger for longer so when I was young (in the dark ages) 50 was ancient, but now there are so many young looking and young minded people in there seventies so in the end does it really matter about age difference either way if both people are happy and honest with each other? :?:

I'm in my 50s and would have to say younger men are less set in their ways and less domineering. They also can take care of themselves better and are more likely to accept an executive woman. These are generalities, of course.

Men over 40, however, are much, much, much better at romance. Which is, of course, what women really want.
At a certain age, everyone has baggage. It's just a matter of carrying it with grace.

Well sometimes in Hurghada it is absolutely ridiculous to see some of the old women parading around with the very young guys. Some of whom look as if they should be at home doing their homework!

10 years - a piece of cake. Nothing in it really and anyway, it is totally acceptable for an older man to have a bit of bum fluff on his arm, so it is long overdue that we women think and do the same.

Speaking from my vast age - I am convinced I am the oldest on the forum, I wish every woman who has a younger man as their husband/boyfriend the best of luck. Enjoy yourselves. Life is too short to waste on 'what if's, regrets etc'. Go for it.

My husband is 5 years older than me, and it's perfect - I really can't imagine what I'd talk about with a guy 20 years younger....
The latest ringtones??
Playstation games??
I'll stick with my 'old man', thank you!

Yes I have to confess I am always on Playstation, I am games mad, keefy and I are always playing. I also have Playstation 2 and Wii, I have just given my brother in law my X box didnt seem to play that much. We are all into Buzz and spend many nights playing, it's brilliant.

Keefy is constantly winding me up telling me there are new games out, the ones he knows I like playing, I then go mad trying to buy them and searching for them only to find they haven't been released yet :x

Theres an age gap betwen my hubby & I but NOT BIG!!

For me I find that we live our lives at the same pace...Im younger at heart & I can be immature.

Disadvantages are that they dont have so much life experience & altho' its not a problem it can be frustrating explaining all the time!

Nah its older mean all the way, blokes my age (26) haven't got a clue and I can't really talk to them about life etc, I know its a generalisation but girls mature much faster, I have a really old head on my shoulders I am constantly told and feel it too!

Men, not mean, I can spell, honestly, but just painted my nails so think I am trying to be careful but to the detriment of my spelling :oops:
