Is a 20+ Year Age Gap too High?

I can see girls having attraction to well maintained older men but the 20+ year (in your case almost 30yr) age gap is too huge. 10 ok. 15 maybe. But more than that and you are going to have major disconnects by the time you are in your late 30s/40s and this guy is step away from geriatric ward.



Yes they aren’t the mature ones. You are imature.
Interesting. After my divorce I was early to mid 40s and I dated several women in their late 20s and early 30s. We got along very well. In fact, I had more in common with them than most 40 year old women. I does help that I keep myself fit and have a successful career. I'm not oblivious to those advantages. But, nothing wrong with dating a woman 10-15 years younger. It really depends on maturity level and commonality.

OP, you should go live and experience the world. Make more friends. Find a fun job where you interact with people your age—date young, hot guys who don't have baggage. Your twenties should be the best decade of your life.

When you're 40, he will be 69. That is freaking ancient! It's hard when you're 28 to imagine your 40-year-old self, but look at celebrities about that age, like Jessica Alba (43), Sienna Miller (42), and Beyonce (42). Can you imagine any of them with a 70-year-old + man? No, because that is absurd!


But see Calista Flockhart, Catherine Zeta-Jones.

See Donald Trump and Melania. Would you want to have sex with a 75+ yr old man when you are in your 50s? I'm 54, and the thought of having sex with a 75+ yr old man grosses me out.


Melania is not having sex with The Donald. At least not in the past decade!

Well, DJT was having sex with a porn star 18 years ago. In any case, if you marry an old person, more than likely, you will be having sex with an even older person when you are in your 40s/50s.

Harison Ford has a reported net worth of $300m, and Michael Douglas has $350m. If OP's old man has at least $300m, and there is no expectation that she has to sleep with him past a certain age, I guess to each their own.

I am 10 years older than my wife. I am 60 and she is 50
Due to her extreme drinking, bad diet and lack of exercise she has a bunch of health issues and I think she can go on disability anytime soon. The older one is not necessarily the one who will end up with health issue. The one with bad habits will. And honestly women these days are into the same vice as men alcohol, junk food, laziness etc

Past decade? Barron was born in 2005, so for Melania's sake, I hope they haven't had sex in 20 years. She would have been 34 and he would have been 58. Of course, sex with him was probably disgusting at any age.

Right, but a 10-year gap is a lot different than 29 years. At 10, and in exceptional circumstances up to 15 years, you can tell yourself that age is just a number. I have a family member in his late fifties who is ripped and can still run a mile in under 6 minutes. The argument goes out the window at an age gap more significant than 15 years. He better have hundreds of millions.

All parents get triggered at the thought of their daughters dating an old man.

He’s almost 30 years older. Have some respect.

Hey boo, this is a 30 year gap and you are clearly in over your head.

This is a 29-year gap. That is crazy. Stop seeing him.

I'm the same age as the guy--the gap is too big if you want a serious relationship. His body will start or perhaps has started slowing down in the near future. He likely won't have the energy to keep up with you.

If you just want to have a summer fling or pass the time for a few months--go for it. You say you find him attractive, who cares what we think?

Run OP.

This is a manchild 30 years your senior that can’t commit to a relationship without screwing it up that sees you (not trying to be harsh) as an easy, young, wealthy lay that is too insecure to question him or see his red flags.

He will destroy you, mentally and emotionally then move on to the next young, naive woman.

Working through some of your childhood family hang ups would be a good first step. You have not witnessed what a normal, healthy relationship looks like. Work on yourself, find a fun job that you enjoy just to stay busy. Travel, explore new hobbies.

I swear I'm not a troll. I genuinely think I'm just autistic or something. I even had a guy ask me during an interview: "Can you even communicate with people". Which I thought was incredibly rude, and it really damaged my self-esteem even further.

People always think I'm weird or dumb at every job I start. I genuinely have zero friends, which I feel like isn't normal.

But I get so bored doing nothing all the time. I don't even enjoy travelling. I find it enjoyable and feel like it gives me a sense of purpose (and forces me to socialize) when I work. But I always end up quitting.

And I find myself more attracted to really tall men who are older than me. Especially if they have an interesting background
