fitness Dating an older person

[Lord Severus]

Due to prevailing social stigma associated with men dating older women, it is generally not encouraged in this part of the world. However, the stigma, I find, has loosened in the western nations and a degree of free mixing is allowed.

The reason often cited is that in case a man dates a older female, the children born out of that union would not be healthy. While this is joke in reality, socially, it holds some water.

What are your views?

Well, I don't think that there is any scientific evidence to prove that children from a union between an older woman and a young man will be Unhealthy. Age has no bearing with the health of a child at birth, rather it's all about genetics. A healthy man and a healthy woman will always have a healthy child.

One of the reasons I believe that makes people not to settle for a heterosexual relationship in which the female is older is because women tend to age faster than men.

Some people don't see it appealing having someone who is their mother's age mate as a date.

 

[Ashake]

Men who date women that are older than themselves would face biases from society which could make the partner sad. Real connections between partners do not consider the differences in age because compatibility defines what true love is about.

My wife is 7 years older than I am.

Of course, I was well into my adult years when I met her. If she was 18 when I met her, there would have been an issue, LOL.

But I like to tell everyone I got myself a cougar. She doesn't think it's as funny as I do, LOL.

I just can't date a very much older person because of the disparity in interests that would exist between us. You don't expect a fifty five year old man to be able to cope with the Instagram lifestyle of a mid twenties me.

We're in a similar situation, with my wife 9 years older.

But I like to tell everyone I got myself a cougar. She doesn't think it's as funny as I do, LOL.

She thought it was funny until she broke 45, now not so much (in public, at least).

I just can't date a very much older person because of the disparity in interests that would exist between us.

You really don't know that until you get to know them. I wouldn't expect you to set your focus on getting to know them for so long, as that would hinder you from finding a suitable mate if you did have drastic differences, but one to two weeks is enough to find out if you have shared values, that is if you're open and communicating wants and needs over merely having fun.

Many said that age is just a number. What is important for them is that they are in love and happy together. I am not in the position to judge the two people in love regardless of the age gap.

 

[Lord Severus]

I fairly agree that love knows no distinctions. There cannot be age, sex, orientation, wealth distinctions for people to fall in love with another person.

Many said that age is just a number. What is important for them is that they are in love and happy together. I am not in the position to judge the two people in love regardless of the age gap.

While that said, humans continue to be a social animal that are bound by the institutions of marriage that has a pefty price in the form of public opinion. What do you think?

 

[Harsh World]

I am not in the position to judge the two people in love regardless of the age gap.

I would only question it if the age gap didn't align with either partner's fertility if that is ever even mentioned as a goal of theirs. An age gap, on either side, could prevent a pregnancy. And, if you hop into a relationship wanting kids, either partner could be the problem that will make that never a reality for them. So, it's something to bring up for them to consider, but not for me to judge if they wish to continue the relationship.

Edit: This comes from experience and not knowing at the time, so I would only put my 2 cents in where it belongs, like with close friends and family. The age gap almost prevented us from having our one and only without medical intervention (IVF, etc.).

You're absolutely correct, it's love that matters most in any relationship, not necessarily the age-gap, provided both parties are adults and they are happy and in love with each other.

I also agree with you on that. Some marriages do not last long, and both husband and wife are of the same age, therefore, being of the same age does not guarantee love to last. I like a man older than me, even 12 years he he. What is important is true love and care.

 

[Ja sa bong]

I don't have any problem dating someone older than me but there's a limit. It's not going to be more than 10 years age difference. I wouldn't date someone who's 15 years upwards older than me.

Did you just say you'd prefer your partner to be 12 years older than you?

Well, people have different preferences, and they're in the best position to explain their motives or reasons behind those preferences.

But let me ask you, why would a lady prefer a man older than her by 10 years or more?

 

[Profwriter]

Let's discuss this house. Your inputs are highly welcome.

Why would a lady prefer a man 10 years or more her senior, and why would a man prefer to marry a lady 10 years or more his senior?

 

[Starmix25]

A guy older than is mature and responsible.he already as a lot of experiences.

A man who's older to his partner by 10 to 15 years isn't too much. There are some people you wouldn't know they have such age gap with their partner until they are both already in past 50 years of age.
