Dated a woman in her fifties when I was in my thirties. Best relationship I ever had... The most fun, the most easy-going, the most mischievous, the most sexually compatible, the most supportive... I could go on.

Frankly, here, when there's a big difference between an old man and a younger woman, we'd call him an old pervert, while an old woman with a younger man would be a cougar; the cougar tag is actually much less pejorative than the old pervert tag here. It's funny how the meaning of words can change from a place to another.

About 3 years ago I dated a woman who was 82, we went to the theatre a number of times, she was a delight to be with. She told me she just wanted to date different guys, as she never had the opportunity when she was young. I hear from her once in awhile, she's still out there dating!

Good on ya!!!!
Hope it's a rousing success.

Count me in. Where do I sign up!!

I've only been with younger men for years. Can’t remember the last time I was dating a guy my age or older. Idgaf what ppl call it has long as we’re happy.

Can you post a link for the group...I'd be happy to join. I don't see it here. Thanks.

Excellent! Not a huge difference but my ex is 7yrs. older than me and most of the women I dated when younger were older. Some much older. Plus RBG is probably one of the most attractive women on the planet right now.

Good for you. With consenting adults no negative labels should be applied.

Omg! How can I join this fantastic group. I admit to being a total cougar! Haha!

Cougar.....pfft....cheetah is more accurate. lol

Double-standards are a huge annoyance. I hope your group does well. I have definitely dated younger men, though I am personally not looking for any extreme age gaps.either way. There have been women in my family who have spent their entire married lives lying about their age, to avoid being judged by society..

I haven't got a clue what I'm doing! So I might have done something wrong...

But I think I noticed that two people have just joined. Fingers crossed it all goes well. Thanks for all the kind comments

All of my relationships have been with older women/girls since I was 16. But since I was 19 the biggest age gap has been 3 years. I woudl probably feel wierd being with someone noticably younger than myself.

I hope it is a success, too. Let lovers enjoy life.

Im a 34 year old guy and was in a relationship with woman 10 years older than me that just recently ended. I don't mind if a girl has made more trips around the sun than I have

I like the idea!

To be completely honest with you though, I would say that I only agree with you to a certain degree that there is a double standard.

When it comes to older men forming a couple with younger women, it seems that the term sugar daddy tends to be quickly employed. Thus generating an idea in a person's mind that the relationship is based on some form of financial contract. Which is, in my opinion, demeaning to both parties.

Have a nice one!

I dated a fella 16 years younger than myself. Yep, there were rude comments. We were entirely secure and having too much fun to allow the rude people to affect our relationship. We went our separate ways only because he felt he wanted more children. I wasn't up for that...we remain friends.
Now, there are plenty of women in the public eye who have younger partners. They really don't impact us "common" folk in reality. Tina Turner, Madonna, etc., have or have had younger partners. No one says much about that either. Its usually within our individual social circles that younger, jealous, insecure women feel we are not entitled to mingle in their potential pool of dating material. These men date us out of natural attraction or because the younger ones have ulterior motives (not good ones), are needy, create scenes, no meaningful goals in life, etc., etc, etc. Oh and more often than not, younger women have very skewed value systems....not all, but many.

How do I join?

NOW someone creates this group after I'm too old to be involved...

I don't think there is a double standard. I thought both was accepted as normal

You just recruited a member here

Not a big deal on this side of the pond. ☺

I'm 44 and available, I have heart health of an 80 year though

I've always gotten along better with women older than me.
