[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s his baggage at 38?  It’s kind of lose-lose.  If he’s never been married at that age it’s a red flag but if he’s divorced that comes with its own set of issues.

I’d think if she’s dating for fun then have at it, but I’d personally encourage her to not date for marriage.  When any sex hits 50 things start going downhill.  When she’s 40 and he’s 54 she’s really going to notice the differences.[/quote]

It comes down to baggage.  As long as he doesn't have any kids, it might work.  I don't think it's a red flag that a man hasn't gotten married by 38.  Men are lucky - they can wait to get married and have kids until they are 40 and focus on their careers first.  There are some risks to consider, like the power imbalance, how they will time retirement, if they will be able to share mutual friends, or if his friends (and their girlfriends or wives) are just too old for her to enjoy and her friends are too young and immature for him to enjoy.    If he's a divorced father of young kids, you should 100% intervene.  That's a terrible, horrible deal for her, and at 24, she's got so many options and can do so much better. [/quote]
