Relationship age gaps

[Grumpmeister]

I like some women in their forties. Is she MILF class or has she got a gaggle of squalling brats and Kevinalikes/THWs?

Do you have a preferred age range then Nick 

Old enough not to be able to run away when they realise he is Captain Calamity

I have some friends with that kind of age gap and it doesn't seem to be a problem, for now anyway. A relationship is a relationship whatever the ages involved, some work/last some don't.

At least with a woman in her forties you know what you are getting unlike someone in their twenties/thirties who is still maturing.

I don't see it as a problem in compatability terms. I suppose really it is just the having children thing that concerns me.

She has either had children or now knows she is unlikely to.
Few men of my aquaintance actually want children ~ they accept them as an inevitable consequence.
Anywhoo ~ it really is none of your business.

My great grandmother was widowed. As soon as her children were had left home she knocked 11 years off her age and married a man 25 years her junior. Bet he got a shock on the wedding night

Wot he said (apart from the great grandmother bit, we aren't related)

So what was the point then...?

Wumman chatter

So, would you consider a man 15 years older?

I was interested in alternative perspectives.

Well not now that I am happily living in sin no. However, it wasn't something I ever ruled out no. I used to go out with someone ten years older than myself so five years is only a hop skip and a jump from that. My Mum and Dad were 17 years apart.

My mum and dad were born on the same day!

June 25th 1918

Mind you, the war and stuff got in the way, which may explain why I am the same age as my eldest nephew

I have a female friend who is fifteen years younger than her husband, he is 66.

Another female friend is 22 years younger than her husband, he is 60.

Lucky chap

That is considered more normal though isn't it? It's a societal norm for the woman to be younger than the man but when it is the other way around it is considered rather peculiar.

He certainly is, she's a real cracker.

He can't keep up with her at dancing though!

We must move in different circles. NuLabour has not yet introduced rools about marital age gaps. I don't give a flying fook abuot age differences myself. Live and let live!
