Is 36 and 41 too much of an age difference?

Oh, it is pretty tocked at this point.

If the man if willing to have children right away. Only then.

pp again, oops it's the woman who's older, so no. No Op, this is not a match. It is unfair to keep a man of 35 from ever having the option of kids.

Not if he's high drive. The woman will hit menopause while the man still has a high libido. That's a mismatch.

DH is 6 years older than me. I hit menopause in my early 50s, and he still wanted it several times per week.

If he's low drive, then no problem.

Plenty of my friends in menopause have the same as or higher libidos than before. We are fed all these lies about expiration dates, then you get to an age and realize they weren’t true.

41 is getting to be a pretty soft plum. Probably best to start with something a bit fresher.

Pluses and minuses, though, which you have to weigh yourself. Certainly the merchandise is marked down as you approach the use by date.

The amount of red garbage spewed in this thread and on DCUM in get now is disgusting.

Yeah, make sure you weigh that plum.

It’s been like this for years

This was the age difference between my parents, with my mom being older. The other boys told my dad, "Watch out for her! She's a mankiller!" She was very smart and sexy. It can work out just fine.

Does not matter if the man doesn’t want kids.

I know couples with that difference but they met younger, maybe when woman was 35 and man was 27-28 or something like that and then they have 2 kids when mom is in mid forties and dad is like 40.

The man might not want to head straight into having kids and prefer to wait a couple of years. Conversely, he might want kids and be pushing the woman to try before it's too late while she might be more ambivalent.

So, it's not really the 5 year age difference. It's where the 2 of them are right now. If neither wants kids, then it's unimportant.

36 is pushing the limits of safe childbearing years, unless you intend to have kids immediately.

Men are usually about 15 years behind women in emotional maturity. But at 36 he should be entering his mature stage.

Men also age physically much slower and are about 15 years behind women, so a 36 year old man is about the same in looks age wise as a 21 year old woman. Now here is your delimma.

He will remain very attractive to women of all ages for another 20 years, while you are entering the age where women age fast, after menopause. Will he want to stay with someone who looks much older than him? That's the test.

Hahaha! Are you mad? Men take much worse care of their appearance and health, in general, and start looking old sooner.

My husband and I married at 30 and 36. We’ve been married for 20 years and it’s great.
