So forget that line I said and focus on the rest. Much appreciated.

LOL.

Why is that funny?

Seek therapy before entering into any relationship

You are holding on to the age thing the way some women obsess about height. Don’t miss your man behind that BS

Ok I’ll bite. I have a 17 year gap with my husband. I always dated older guys too. I wish he was about 5 years younger than me so we could have more kids. We already have 3 btw. 4 years older is enough. I get your insecurities but there are plenty of men who stay with their wives and don’t date younger, he just has to be a good one.

I just came to learn he is 4 years older than me. He’s in his early 30s. I felt a little shocked and upset. I never found men few years older attractive in a sense to be relationship material because I viewed them more as friends than lovers. But now, my heart is telling me to continue and persue this relationship but my head is telling me that ‘he’s not your type as he’s not the age group you always wanted.’

The whole magic of falling in love is that you love that person above all of their faults. Not that you love them because they fit your supposed type and check all your boxes.

Why did the guy lie to you about his age? Personally I think that's way more important than what age he actually is.

Um, how would that change if you married a guy just five years older? The amount of "taking care of him" remains the same, the only thing that changes is how old you are. If you don't want to take care of an old man, don't marry at all. Or plan to divorce him when he gets old, whatever works for you.

Plus keep in mind you probably won't be married to him for 40 years anyway (which is also true if he is the same age as you or just a bit older).

Women do not age “faster” than men. It’s just that their aging is not accepted by society as much as men’s is and they are considered “too old” earlier.

This! Not to mention dealing with ED issues and a man who can’t perform when you’re still in your sexual prime.

LMAO at the idea a woman of 55 is "in her prime". Keep dreaming, grandma.

On the contrary. "Society" is desperately trying to convince everyone that older women are as beautiful, fertile, and desirable as younger women, which flies in the face of biology and common sense and will therefore never succeed.

The similarly crazed effort to convince everyone that fat women are as attractive as thin women is equally doomed to failure.

God you are dumb. I’m talking about when OP is in her early forties and enjoying sex and her old man husband is pushing 60 and can’t get it up.

The reason I prefer such specific large age gap is because I find these men are more mature and have life experience than those my age. Which to me means, they know how to deal with a woman because they’ve had plenty of relationship experience.

However, recently I’ve been very interested in a guy I met through a mutual friend. I started to see that has all the ideal qualities I always wanted in a man. When I got to know him, I realized he ticked all my boxes. I started to fall for him very hard. I have never felt that way about a guy in ages. I never asked about his age but always assumed he is roughly around 9-10 years older than me, due to his knowledge and broad depth of understanding regarding various topics.

I just came to learn he is 4 years older than me. He’s in his early 30s. I felt a little shocked and upset. I never found men few years older attractive in a sense to be relationship material because I viewed them more as friends than lovers. But now, my heart is telling me to continue and persue this relationship but my head is telling me that ‘he’s not your type as he’s not the age group you always wanted.’

Also, I forgot to add that I prefer the older guys because women age faster and I will continue to look younger in his eyes. I’m insecure and hesitant to persue this guy because I keep thinking a few years down the track once I have children and hit my mid 30s I will look older and he won’t be interested in me and might persue younger girls. He isn’t the type to do that, but these thoughts keep running through my head.

I need advice, especially from women who’ve been in relationships with men who were a couple years older than them and those with large age gap. Were you able to find maturity in the younger guys and were they completely committed to you or did you have struggles with them that could have been avoided if you were with an older man 10+ years?

Russian?

It depends on the person, but women age over time. With men, when they age, it is fast and unfortunate.

What if you're a thin older woman with good skin care?

This. Cold hard facts, but facts all the same.
