I'm on the fence. My DH is 10 years older than me and I've always dated older (max 10 years though) so I wouldn't automatically say no, BUT I am also only a few years younger than you and the idea of starting to date a man that age or close to it really grosses me out. Plus the nursemaid stuff, I'll probably be there with a 10 year gap, 16 seems like it would come that much sooner. Basically, if this were already your situation ok, but just starting out dating it wouldn't be my ideal.

No way!! Do you want to be a nurse maid? When you’re 60 he’ll practically be dead!

I'm 46 and wouldn't date someone that old. My boyfriend is 40.

If he is generous and affluent then by all means yes

What you don’t realize is how smoking hot you are to him. 40 is so much different from 56 you are a goddess to him.

He's gonna need pills to keep it up soon. Go younger.

Hottest sex of my life was 39-42/55-58. Beyond belief, because of who he was and his effect on me, but the age difference somehow brought it out. Go for it but don’t become a caretaker.

Based on personal experience and what I observed with my mom and other family members and acquaintances, I would definitely not advise this. It’s just too much of an age gap.Maybe for a short time, but you’re best off with someone around your age. Trust me.

That would be too much of an age gap for me. Of course it depends on the person but 40 to me is still prime of your life and 56 is starting to get into old age territory. Just my perception

You are both middle aged adults with a good range of experiences. He’s not an authority figure, just older. Go for it.

I married someone 18 years older than me. I think you can date someone any age, OP. You're not making any kind of commitment here.

No. He’s pushing 60. Think about it.

I am 44; I would not go there. Not a chance.

I’ve never dated this much older. He’s handsome and intelligent and accomplished but I’m a bit intimidated by the age difference, even though now that I’m 40 it’s not as big a deal as say, if it were 20/36. Thoughts on dating this much older?
