| Lol...they don't think you're more attractive. They think you're safely in the friend zone and don't need to worry about you taking walks in the park the wrong way |
| Wow this post really brought out the "over the hill" ladies. It's okay ladies you'll find someone for you someday 🤣😂🤣 |
| When I see an old man with a young woman I alway presume it’s for money and she can’t support herself. No jealously. More like pitty for her. |
I don’t think this at all. Young women can fairly easily find a same-aged guy to cohabitate with and share bills, and really beautiful women can find a successful same-aged guy to share bills with. It’s only the odd ones who skip peers and go to old fogies. Maybe it was different when you were my age but that’s what I observe as someone who is a peer of OP’s girlfriend. |
Because you made this whole scenario up. |
Please point to where in my comment there is a "scenario." Not the sharpest tool in the shed are we? 🤣 |
I don’t get it. What’s your basis for thinking women replying in this thread are old? I’m mid 30s. Most women on DCUM are under 44 if I understand the analytics correctly. Seems more like wishcasting to me. |
| OMG you are dating a single mom who needs your money and bragging about it? This is taking a turn for the pathetic. Bye, Grampa. |
Sometimes you just fall in love with someone who is older and you happen to be younger. You realize the person has a lot of great qualities, etc…and over time feelings develop. It happens. Not always a sign something is wrong with 2 people. |
I mean maybe but my personal experience is that normal well-adjusted girls only consider dating peers, and for the few women I’ve known over the years to stomach a 10+ year age gap, well, let’s just say there were red flags about them. There are exceptions to scarf rule. I just don’t know any personally for this rule. |
Nobody cares. |

Older woman here.
I knew a woman who married a man with about the same spring-fall age divide. When he started to get older and sicker, well into his 60s and beyond, she was PISSED off and angry. She wasn't crazy about retiring into the boonies 2 hours upstate NY for him. She still has at least a decade of active professional life in front of her. But he wasn't crazy about having another kid (20 year age difference between his first child from first marriage). I am friends with that first child which is how I can see this panning out. Lucky OP, he got a young nurse. Unlucky her, she's with an old man. |
+1 Yikes!

I was going to echo this exactly. I’m on the younger side (about to turn 30) so am speaking about what I witnessed in my early to mid 20s. PP is right - I’m not saying there are zero exceptions to this rule, but anyone I ever knew of who dated a much older man at that stage either had major daddy/mommy/family issues, or was just an odd bird. Not the type to have many friends, always been a little off, struggles socially. |
There is a big range of "under 44" that is still over the hill honey |
