Is it ok to date younger men?

It will depend on how much love they will invest on their relationship. I guess the woman would carry more weight than the man in this situation.

both can handle the relationship there is no older or younger in terms of handling a relationship..a relationship consists of two people and not only one so they need to handle their relationship fairly for both of them..it is a give and take process..^_^

Sure thang!!!!!!!!! Dating a younger man is good for your heart don't ya know? I think it was meant to be like that anyway. A woman hits her sexual peak at 30 or so and a man at 18. Why is that do you suppose? I think men generally out live women though so if it's a long term thing... well who thinks long term any more?:)

Hi jinx!It depends really.I think i could last if both of them love each other and learn to accept each others weakness.Man will still be man.He must handle and take charge of the relationship but the woman must help the man as well.Cheers.

I do not think, it is should be problem to date a younger man, except for the fact that the age difference between the two should not be more than say 3-4 years. I feel, if the woman is elder, she would handle and lead the relationship in this case. Some of the members, who are on my friends' list here have stated that they are in a relationship with a younger guy and they quite enjoy that relationship.
What about you? What are your own views in this matter? Would you prefer to date a younger person than you?

When I was younger, I always went for older guys or guys my own age. I could not even imagine dating someone younger than me. Once I hit 40, I did start dating men up to 10 years younger than me. I am 52 and still date men younger than me. I don't think I could go any younger than that. I did once date a man 20 years younger but it was just too weird for me. He was the same age as my oldest daughter. I went out a couple of times with him and even tho he was very mature, I just didn't feel right about it and so I called it off before it went anywhere. We are still good friends and ironically, he is now seeing a girl about 10 years younger than he is. It all depends on the people involved. I have seen many of these types of relationships last happily for a long long time. My aunt lived happily with a man 15 years younger than her for 40 years until she passed away. He passed 3 months after she did.

yes it's ok to date younger men...there are already lots of stars having boyfriend or husband younger from them..
can these relationship last??
well it depends, if there is this understanding between the two of you,,,if there's a great maturity in the guy..

who will handle..??
well there are cases that women always want that they will be the one to be followed ..and some men are also responsible enough to do that too...maybe you just have to see things exactly they should...if what will be the best for the both of you...

Age (as long as its legal) has very little to do with a relationship its the two people in that relationship.

But we find others want to stick their noses in and make trouble.

Both are adults, both know what they want.

I say, "Go for it".

All my life, I've been trained to only think to date a man older than I, but no more than say...a couple years younger. But, in my experiences, the youngest man I've ever dated has been by far, the one I love the most.

He's 12 years younger than I and he's already been grilled about myself, the children I have and my past. He's accepted it, wants to teach the children things and the past doesn't matter to him. Yeah, I know what you're thinking, "Sure, anything to get into her pants." or something along those lines. There's one other aspect about the man I love: we live almost 2,000 miles away from each other. The only way we converse is through email, snail mail and telephone calls. In the past four years we've known each other, we've seen each other once.

But, no matter how golden my life is with him, he gets it from his family. Yeah, he could do better than a woman who's been married before. Yeah, he could want to have children of his own. But, a woman his age...

...he wouldn't trade anything like that for me. All that matters is how we feel about each other.

Sure, he's young, but he's more mature than the men twice his age. He works harder than any man I've ever known (meaning, dated). He's more honest, loving and understanding.

Geez, I hope so. My mother was seven years older than my dad when they married in 1948. My aunt is 10 years older than her husband. I am 19 years older than the young man I go around with. Mom was married to Dad 55 years (he has passed). My aunt has been married 19 years this December - Dennis is her second husband. Number one walked out Christmas Eve after 25 years. I've been seeing mine since 2001. It may not be traditional, but it can work.
