What do you think of May/December romances?

Hi all,

I personally don't see anything wrong young women dating older men or young men dating older women, I don't see why some people have a problem with it! I'm a young female and I've always liked my men much, much older.

What do you think of May/December romances?

I don't have any problem with it, although I can't help but think that in general they probably don't work longterm. Some do, but from what I have personally seen, they seem to be better for more casual dating. I don't know, just guessing. Never been in one, so I can't really say.

There is such a thing as too old, depending on your age. What would a 20 yr old and a 40 yr old have in common? You're two entire generations apart. Like JB said, it's cool for casual dating but I don't think it works out in the long run.

This will sound prejudiced but when I see a much older person and a much younger person together, I tend to assume that the older one is going through an age crises and are looking to feel younger or maybe they want a trophy lover...and that the younger is looking for a mother/father figure, or is a golddigger. I think May/December relationships only work when the two are pretty much soulmates, and that's rare. The average 25 year old and the average 50 year old are in two very different places in life to pull off an enduring relationship.

I don't know about too much older. I think 10-15 years should probably be the limit. Shouldn't be a whole generation apart I don't think. There shouldn't be a gap wide enough that they could be each others parents/child.

Hey, so long as the couple is content with each other, then it's none of mine. I can't see myself with someone who wasn't in my same age generation, but never say never.

Good for sex if she's 40ish and he's 20ish....
Past 45 and 25 though, I'm not so sure.

If it makes you happy then why not?
