[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's so much discussion of men in their 40s and 50s, often divorced with kids, dating women in their 20s.  But seriously, what do you do in these relationships? I know you have sex. I get it; that's the main point.  But is that the whole thing?  Even if you've reduced the relationship to fancy dinners, shopping, and sex, surely there are times when you would a conversation, right? Over dinner? What do you talk about? do you have shared hobbies? Do you enjoy the arts together? Do you talk about parenting and does she talk about grad school?  Does you hang out with her friends? Do she hang out with your friends? (Do you even have friends?)

It's not that I think it's immoral for a guy in his 40s or 50s to date a woman in her 20s.  It's just that I don't understand how it actually works.[/quote]

Sorry, who is talking about this? I don’t see it at all in my personal life. Literally everyone I know is married to or dates people within like 3 years of their age. Then again, I’m mostly surrounded by well educated professionals. Someone with a big age gap would really stand out and get laughs.

I’m in my 30s now, but if a guy in his 30s would have approached me when I was in my 20s I would have cringed. Older guys are invisible until they approach you, at which point they become creeps and you have to grab your girlfriends to save you.

When I worked in academia it was very common for male professors to have young second wives.

At work there have been several older guy/younger woman marriages.

In my expensive neighborhood there are several older men living in McMansions with their younger (second) wife and new family. [/quote]

You must be in a rural area or something. Yeah I could see that if I lived in Missouri and worked at CVS rather than go to college I might want to marry a “rich” older guy who owned a roofing company or something. [/quote]
