| What is the relationship like? What are the pros and cons? How did you meet? Where do you see it going? |

Tossing red meat into the DCUM cage, lol.
DCUM loves to be mad about this but it hardly ever happens in real life. |
Exactly. The single 50+ men online all insist they’re tall and rich and they’re just drowning in all these tight, young, *adoring* bodies. IRL? I never see it. I know it happens but I can’t think of anyone with this set up right now. |
| I’m 53, girlfriend is 34 and it’s the same as any other relationship. She’s wise beyond her years and I’m immature so we meet right in the middle. It’s going to end when she realizes she wants kids and it will hurt but for now we’re both very happy. |
How’d you meet? How long have you been dating? Have you already had the kids conversation? |
Met on bumble, she said she didn’t want kids but I’ve seen her with them and she’s a natural so I’m expecting her to change her mind. |
|
48 and GF is 27, so close enough.
We met on Bumble. I’ve dated women in the 20s, 30s, and 40s and there’s no difference is the answer to the “what did you even talk about,” question, especially if they’re also a parent. In DC, women I date have successful demanding careers, but most watch the same guilty pleaser shows as well. |

My DH and I are over 10 years apart, and it gets ... attention? Noticed? I felt like writing "side-eye" instead of "attention" but realized that wasn't quite right or fair. This "notice" is from couple friends (most of them friends DH has had since childhood and their wives). Come to think of it, it's really only the wives who seem to notice it or comment on it.
The only relationship I know of with more of an age gap than ours is a friend of ours who married a 33 yr old woman when he was in his late 50s. She came here from a relatively poor country, and sends a lot of money back. She does not work (although to be fair she is a professional and hasn't been able to get licensed here despite trying--I don't think not working was her plan at all). The friend group does not talk about this, but I'm pretty sure we all ... notice it. They do, fwiw, seem quite and happy and even well-matched. Probably more well-matched than most couples. They have been married over 10 years now; we didn't think it would last that long but it seems to be permanent. Good for them. Fwiw, yes, he has a %$# ton of money, and yes he is an odd duck that was unable to connect with American women his own age, let alone marry one. He's a handful and we marvel at her patience and ability to handle him. But again -- I am pretty sure they are quite happy. |
She probably won't. I'm great with kids and would never consider having any. |
|
I am late 50s, she is mid-20s. Met on Bumble almost 2 years ago. The only downside is she wants sex constantly.
|
Do you go on dates or is it really more of a casual relationship? |
Lol |
|
If you are 50s man with a late 20s sugar baby, does that count? |
| I’m 55 and every time I meet a woman in that age range I remind myself I have two daughters in their mid/late 20s. That fact alone is a great deterrent. If they dated a guy my age I’d freak out. |
You should tell her kids are not on the table. |
