[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]daughter is taking a way older man.

She is 25 year old and dating a 50 something year old dude.. Is there anything we can do?

If you or your daughter dated someone who was your parents age how long did it last?   Should we say something?

Don't interfere or you will just push her away.

Maybe it's a real match, and they will have a great life together, or maybe she is just kicking up her heels some for fun. Either way, it's her decision.

[b]It's normal for younger women to want an older man with a 10-20 year age gap[/b], because men act like children until their late 30s or older, and some never grow up. With todays zoomers and millennials, they all act like man-children, playing video games and other childish behaviors.  :shock: [/quote]

No. It’s not. [/quote]

History and human relations says yes it is. 
You are either out of touch or pushing an agenda. [/quote]

History?[/quote]

Yes, past and present. Majority of women worldwide marry a man several years her senior.

It's basic evolutionary science to do so, as women mature faster and also age faster, than men. Also for stability.

Here in the USA many women have been duped into thinking they should marry their own age or younger men, but that's one of the big reasons for the increasing divorce rates. [/quote]

My husband and I are the same age and we have been married for 40 years. We know at least five other couples from our college who also have been married 40 years or longer. We all feel feel that being a similar age has been a big advantage in creating strong bonds as a married couple.

That's simply splendid, dear.[/quote]

Yes, marriages between equals are more likely to be happy and long term.

Age =/= "equality" in a relationship. 
Age has nothing to do with being "equals". Thinking that it does is rather childish thinking. [/quote]
