[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He will leave you for someone his age or younger OP trust me.[/quote]

this is my fear as well. when he is ready to get married he will dump you and propose to a much younger girl.[/quote]

Guy here. I really think guys give way less of a shit about their significant other's age than women do. It is not impossible this relationship will fall apart because OP is ready to get married and this guy doesn't feel ready yet. It will not fall apart because one day the guy wakes up and thinks "She is 32 and I'd really rather be with a 28 year old." Guys do not have that thought.[/quote]

Most guys want younger woman, in 5 years he is the 29 year old and can still date a 24 or 25 year old and has plenty of time to settle down, OP will be middle aged by then.[/quote]

Are you male?[/quote]

pp here no i'm a women and unfortunately i talk from experience.[/quote]

The only way you could talk from experience on the claim "most guys want younger woman" is if you have dated most guys, and most of them told you they were leaving you because they wanted to be with younger women.

I know plenty of guys (most, in fact) who if you directly asked them the preferred age of their significant other, would say something along the lines of "I dunno. Maybe a couple years younger than me?" I know zero guys who if they were otherwise happy in an existing relationship would say "well, this is nice, but someone younger just makes more sense for me. I guess I will end it." That's not how the male brain works.[/quote]

I am a 28 year old woman seriously dating a 27 year old guy. He's a year and a half younger than me. When we met when I was 25 and he was 23, I laughed off his advances because he was "so young". It was my other GUY friends who were 23-25 at the time that looked at me like I was crazy for possibly turning him down only because of a slight age difference. They weren't just talking either; now one of them is married to a girl 4 years older than he and I've seen the other dating girls 2 years younger AND older than him. In fact, in all my real life experiences with guys and dating; I've never seen the guy make a big deal about a girl based on her age unless she was visibly older than he. In my circle of friends it is much more common to have a couple be the same age or a year or two apart. It seems more accidental than deliberate.

I think it is women who deliberately target older guys because they want financial security. A 27 year old friend of mine is seriously dating a 32 year old man. Her man has now bought them a house and they are getting ready to have children. My guy at 27 is still chugging along at his first post- grad school job so I can't imagine buying a house until the next 4 years or so. :\
