Three years and she’s never been to his home?! Is he married to someone else?

Thats’s exactly what we (family) think …

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.

It's normal for younger women to want an older man with a 10-20 year age gap, 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.

10 years I can see...especially since many 22 yo guys are still immature. But much more than that when you are in your 20s seems strange

Sure, it increases as one ages. A 10 year age gap for a girl in her mid 20s is very normal. A 20 year age gap when a woman is in her mid 40s is very normal.
15 year age gap with the man older, is the overall sweet spot, as a 30 year old woman looks about the same as a 45 year old man, and a 50 year old woman about the same as a 65 year old man, etc.

No. It’s not.

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

History?

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.

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.

Why is that? Jealousy?

DP: No normal 50 yo is seriously interested in a 25 yo. They likely have nothing in common. And if they do, it means the 50 yo guy is very immature

Anonymous wrote:Dating an older man in your early twenties for a while can be fun and harmless. It’s good to connect with different types of people. It’s not good for a serious relationship because of the life phase mismatch. But not all dating needs to be going somewhere long term.

I agree "not all dating needs to be going somewhere long term". But there is no reason for a 25 yo to date a 50yo. They are in such different places....and if the guy is not, then he's nothing but trouble and needs to grow up. And yes, it is strange when your dad/parent marries someone the same age as you or really just wants to date someone the age of his own kdis

History? When women had agency in selecting their marriage partners? Ah, right. Hundreds of years of being married off to improve family wealth doesn’t actually mean that healthy, well-adjusted women routinely want partners 20 years older than them.

That's common feeling when women lose their youthful looks. It makes that green eyed monster come out.

Your life is really bizarre if you think about Trump when talking about sugar daddy’s of some internet stranger.

TBH Trump's spokesperson is exactly who I thought about when reading OP.

I’d try to arrange for a can’t-miss family vacation, internship, study abroad, mission trip, or something else to get her out of town from him. Take her somewhere young, preferably with a time zone change that makes it hard for her to call him. Maybe a beach vacation near a college town? Don’t bring him up at all. Same at Christmas. Family is thinking of going to Hawaii for two weeks and she needs to come. (Again, the time difference will make it harder for them to text.) Plan board games, movie nights, hot chocolate, etc. make it magical on your budget.

Op, is your daughter's guy at least super rich? Also, I had a college roommate who was a sugar baby. She grew up affluent, so she was accustomed to the best, but her parents wanted her to learn to work, so they didn't give her any spending money in college. None of those siutationships lasted, though.
