[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents were ten years apart and met when my mother was 21. They were married for 45 years before my mother died. Difference is, the first time my father took her out, my grandmother took down his license plate and told him she'd call the police if he was even 5 minutes late getting her home.

In this case, the mother was clearly pushing the relationship on her beautiful, screwed-up daughter. The mother is the one who ought to be banned for Stanford, and maybe the crackpot therapist too.[/quote]

That's still creepy for a 31 yo man to be dating a 21 yo woman.[/quote]

I dated someone who was 12 years older than me when I was starting my senior year at Stanford. It was a wonderful, emotionally and intellectually rewarding relationship, far better than any I'd had with undergrads I'd dated (some of whom I found desperately immature--I was always an old soul). We were together for three years and probably would be married now, were it not for the fact that he knew he didn't want kids and I was pretty sure I did. Leaving for grad school on the East Coast helped me get over him. We parted amicably.
If I had to do it again I'd bypass all the undergrads and date only older men to begin with.[/quote]

Why can't men like that find women like you their own age? [/quote]

He had dated women his own age before but was single when I met him.
He didn't "find" me. We met in a social setting. I'm fairly attractive (he thought very) so maybe he talked to me longer than he would have otherwise. And I found him absolutely charming and really interesting.
I knew what I was doing--you're not a kid at twenty-one.[/quote]
