[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“ Um a 36-year-old man dating a 26-year-old woman is not creepy at all. That’s a pretty normal age gap. He’s not that old and she’s not that young…”

A 10 year age gap is kinda creepy. I dated a 39 year old when I was 29, and there was definitely a power imbalance where he called the shots and I went along. It was until after we broke up that I realized how much he used that to manipulate, as I got older I realized that if I’d been his age when dating him I would not have believed his b.s. or put up with his behavior. And I think a lot of men who regularly date significantly younger do so because they’ve learned that they can can get away with things that they wouldn’t with women who have the same amount of life experiences.[/quote]

I hope you realize that they are adults, right?

FWIW, my father was a 49-year-old CEO when he married my mother, who was 24 years old at the time, and they had a wonderful life.  My father passed away at the age of 82, and my mother has not dated anyone since.[/quote]

Is she satisfied that he's gone, or remorseful that his death ruined her golden years before she even knew?

It does best consideration that since women seem to get sick of their men (and all men) after they have kids, marrying an older man partially solves that problem.[/quote]

My mother said that she had 33 wonderful years with him, and that she would do it again in a heartbeat.  He took very good care of my mother's side of the family, and paid my mom's brother's college tuition and expenses.  Because of the age difference, he made sure that my mother was taken care of financially after he was gone.  [/quote]
