Older Men (just to counteract the older women thread!)

Well actually, I quite often fancy men considerably older than me. Say they are in their 40s and I'm 18. However, I think there is most certainly a difference between liking someone and acting on it. Although I do tend to fall for older men it doesn't mean that I have had a relationship with one, or that I would.

the concept of the thread to counter the other one by jason is just :biggrin: And seeing a guy 40 yrs old ....bravo! i appreciate your open opinion. way to go! i mean age is just a silly factor...if u like someone age needn't count. Its every individuals' take on that issue.

I'm currently with a 27 year old and I am 18. We get on really well despite the age difference and the culture difference (he is a muslim and I am not).I've been with him for nearly a year now.
I only hope we can stay together wen I go to university

I'm 23 :hello: not too long till I'm 24 either...

so I have to wait until I'm middle-age, fat and bald till I can hope to pull 18 year olds? :frown: Only old women who want to get married are interested in me at the moment.

At the moment I think 1 or 2 years is the most I'd go. I got asked out by a 21 year old and I thought the age gap was quite big... but then again I am only 16. But it's just a bit strange as I have the whole 'I'm not a child/adult' kinda saga going on and plus I thought, why can't a 21 year old man get a girl his own age?! Well, that's my thought on the matter...
It will probably change when I'm older. My parents have a 10 year age gap.

I like guys in their 30s and older. Always found blokes my age a bit immature really or insecure might be a better word maybe.

My ex (21) is going out with a 16 yr old. says it all about him.

I liked a 24 year old a while back but it never went anywhere. Would have liked it to though. That would have been just right.

i like Johnny depp and gosh, he's like in his 40's :s: i don't really see a problem with it when you reach 18, 19 years old. I think any younger and it may become a problem.

I totally have a crush on one of the consultants I used to work for, and he must be pushing 40...

id date a older guy but my limit would be between 5 and 10 years, id like to have something in common with them. Things ive grown up with stuff like that as well as the normal in common stuff.

I'm really into OAPs, such as Harold from neighbours. I think under 18s with an age gap, is abit weird, but over 18s is ok, i wouldn't want a big one at this age though- I'n 16

I have a rather curious attraction to Alan Rickman...

Reply 19

^^Holy ****, that is rather curious.^^

From an attraction point of view, I don't think older men are any more attractive then more youthful men. By more youthful I mean those who are legal at least, of course.

From a relationship point of view, older guys tend to expect too much of a younger woman. It can be a sticky situation and not quite the mature bliss you had hoped for.
