Being an older woman is wrong
Do you agree with this statement?
I don't know why but I can't get past the fact that I believe its not right for a woman to be older than her man no matter how much people say age is nothing but a number
However much its pretended, it's only really normal to have an older man....
I know if I introduced people to my younger boyfriend they would be thinking OMG
and she must be desperate and cant find anyone the right age
What are you guys views on this?

What is the age difference? My ex was 24 years older than me and we were together three years. Although I agree, haing an older boyfriend is a lot more common.
To be honest I think people should be with whoever they want to be with. Those who have the time to comment on other peoples' relationships obiously have really boring lives with nothing better to do.

Im a 16 year old guy, i think i would want to be older than my gf but it wouldnt matter if she was older than me, not by too much though, i.e. more that a year older. I was older than my x by 3 days lol
It really doesn't bother me. It's definitely not wrong...I've liked guys younger than me, although I've never actually been out with someone younger. I would've done if I had the chance though, haha.
Do you disagree with the woman being older full stop? As in, just a month or two older would bother you.

Did I read this right? No matter anyways, just 24 is a figure I've never heard of, though yes there are a lot of couples with older women by a considerable margin and that's fine. I'm not bothered either way.

I checked....nothing like that against the definition of "normal" in the dictionary. Age differences can go both ways, why it's more taboo for an older woman to have younger bf than vice versa I'll never know.

Cos guys are meant to be the more protective, and women are supposed to be evolutionarily attracted to guys with resources (tends to be an older man). Sod that, give me my boy whom I love over a crinkly with a Ferrari
Yeah he was 24 years older although looked a lot younger. Was very fit as well, was an athlete. Also worked as a bouncer. Much fitter than any younger guy I've been out with (actually that's not true, I went out with an Olympic athlete and he was VERY fit!) Anyway, I digress...
Age is just a number!! Go out with whoever you want to and dont let anyone tell you otherwise.

I swear, half the storylines they have on tv programmes nowadays is the whole older women having an affair with her hot sexy younger gardener or something along those lines. Ok, I know it's all fiction, but having a toyboy is even somewhat fashionable it seems. And without getting too cheesy, when love's involved, why should age even matter?
Nobody would think that! And if they did, well then, their problem! If you get on, have some common interests and have a good time, age is irrelevant.
I've fancied some blokes younger than myself, and I never saw age as a problem. More actual trying to get with them the problem lol but that's a different matter altogether

You're a stupid, narrow minded ****.
who is?
I think he's referring to me, either way it's a useless comment.
I think it's partly to do with my cultural background, like someone said about the man being able to protect the woman etc. and my family holds old-fashioned views and traditions and I guess I must have 'inherited' them too.
For a lot of people, decisions are like "if my parents approve, then it must be acceptable"
But where do you stand when your parents are a bit iffy about a particular situation? Espescially if you have been encouraged to believe the same beliefs and not make your own mind up about things.
I don't know......
In our family a cousin married a younger guy (who is really lovely) and after visiting them my Dad was like "She's too old for him" (so testing the boundaries....) I said "only by a year or so", and he said "no it's at least 2 years etc." and went on to say how he didn't approve..
I'm babbling a bit but maybe thats my problem, don't think its relevant tho

I"m 18 and would happily date a woman say 10 yrs older than me
As a 19 year old man, being an older woman does seem quite wrong.
I don't think that a couple of years matters either way. Although I think that at my age (17) girls wouldn't really want to go out with a lad a few years younger, someone who was, say 14, because they'd be a lot less mature. By the time people are in their 20s/30s, I wouldn't have thought 5/10 years wouldn't really matter.
Like nearly every relationship issue discussed on here - it depends on the individual involved! Some women of 30/40 (or older!) would love a 'toyboy', and some would think that it was horrible, and would want a committed relationship with someone of their own age.
