| I have a lot of experience with this topic: at 22 I was dating a man 50: did so for more than a year and it was marvelous in bed and out. But then I married someone close to my age, but divorced and remarried someone 27 years my senior, my current relationship. We're both professionals, he's retired and I'm not, and we have a lot in common despite the age difference: politics, spirituality, environmental concerns, music, writing. We've made some adjustments sexually, but I'm completely satisfied! | |

I think maturity is a state of mind, but a huge age difference brings on its own set of issues. Both parties must ask themselves, why are they in the relationship in the first place. Is it to prove a point? Is it to prove you can attract a younger man or older man? If it is to prove a point, then rethink why you're set on dating someone younger. Hopefully, it's natural where you meet someone and happen to find out that he is younger or slightly older.

| I am currently seeing a younger guy. I am 13 years is senior but he's very mature and we can relate to what the other is saying. | |

| I can definitely relate to both points of view on dating older men. I have been dating a man 16 years my senior for almost 3 years now and there are definitely both pros and cons to our relationship. Naturally he has more relationship experience than I do, which is one of my biggest emotional obstacles with him. I have a difficult time getting over his past serious relationships, especially with the woman he almost married before me. He's just had more experience with other women than I like to think about - maybe I'm insecure? On the other hand, he is much more mature and sure of himself than anyone my own age. He knows what he wants in a relationship and keeps ours grounded. I'm a litte concerned about the future to come - he's so set in his way of life while I'm still trying to figure out my own. I think it's essentially an issue of security/predictability versus independence/instability. | |

| wow what perfect timing for this article! I recently broke up with my boyfriend who was the same age as me. I also became friends with a man 8 yrs my senior. through out our friendship i developed a crush on this man but never told him. not until today when he also revealed that he liked me. we are taking things slow but i have to admit that there is something intoxicating about having an older lover! | |
