We are both very attractive and met at work as we are both lawyers -- if that is "equal footing" for you, whatever that means.


She has a large trust fund (and good start to her career) while he is a successful attorney. I mentioned the equal footing because I think some people assume a younger woman is after money and that is not the dynamic here

Well "old[er]" and "loser" are not synonymous, and y'all are trying to treat them as such.

Its a bit more than I'd prefer but it can work. We have a ten year age gap.

Age gap is one of the most common topics on this board. There are hundreds of threads on it. Do some research through old threads.

I think anything under 15 years isn’t all out of the ordinary. While it’s more likely than not that they’ll run into differences that will prevent them from becoming too serious, they may also find it works for them which is what matters. Have you met 24 year old men recently? Good for your daughter for expecting something better than beer and videogames.

That's ok, just as long as it's the man who is older because old women get discarded

20s & 40s is a different story - have you been married before? Would assume any man 40+ is either divorced or unmarried for a good reason

It's still a bad idea. You'll figure that out when you're 50 and he's suddenly old.

How insane would it be for a 24 year old woman & 38 year old man to be in relationship? What about with an equal playing field in terms of looks and finances?
