Age...just a number?
Posted : 9 Feb, 2012 08:55 PM

Is it strange for young women to be attracted to older men (10+ years)? Some say this is abnormal and/or perhaps even inappropriate. Would love to hear what you guys think about this. Are alot of older men also attracted to younger women? And why or why not?

1) You can�t use the Bible as proof that olderyounger relationships work, or are even ok. Many of the patriarchs had multiple wives, does that mean that we can have multiple wives? Many people in the Bible did a lot of stupid things.



2) As others have pointed out, you really need to be careful about where each person is in life. An older guy may not want to have very many children, or any at all. And, he will start to �run out of steam� before she does. It make work out for the first couple of years, but it will eventually become a problem for many people. There are always exceptions, but it is better to err on the safe side.



3) Just because it may feel right at the time does not mean that it is a good idea. Yes, it is nice to feel the emotional attachment, but God has also given us wisdom as well. I know I could fall in love with a woman who was half my age. There are plenty of VERY beautiful and VERY patient 20 year olds. But I also know that I don�t want to wait around for kids, and I don�t want very many, which is not what most 20 somethings want.

I can understand that, 0melanie0. It depends upon the person and their level of maturity. Ive known men and women in their early 20's who were more mature than those in their 50's. Each person has their own likes and dislikes.



Personally, Im attracted to women within 10-15 years of my age. I tend to go for the younger area of that range (29-34 years old) simply because women my age are usually menopausal and I would like to have children some day. It also takes while to get to know someone and that gives me some time.

When i see a profile of a guy my age or older looking for younger gal than me, I find that I just dump that profile. Makes me think that the guy thinks he is superior or healthier. One guy said he could run circles around women his age....well , he won't for very many years and she just might be changing his diaper one day.

I'm 32, and I like guys around my age. A few years older or younger. I like that we seem to have more in common because we grew up around the same time.



Also a note to a previous post, I heard that Mary was about 15 and Joseph was about 18 when Jesus was born. God has used a lot of young men and young women to accomplish great things. God doesn't care about your age whether you are old or young or inbetween. He looks at your heart and your faith.

I have always wanted men much older than me,that my friends often made fun if I wanted a Dad. In actuality,I agree that age is just a number , but I'm beginning to think if its really just about numbers. With a huge age gap it might hinder couples to think in sync,but again its all about the willingness to love unconditionally. Its just a number only when you are willing to go that extra mile for love's sake:)

I agree with LivinLife inMaine



I too am not interested in guys my age who are looking for much younger women.



Some of the reasons guys give for this are really a turn off - such as weight, more attractiveness, more active, a better potential homemaker-mom, less baggage.



All of those things are assumptions that do not necessarily come with women being significantly younger than the guys.



It also says what the guys want in women, they think of as non- issues for themselves to be.



Maybe the much older guys are still looking because the much younger women are NOT interested ??:rolleyes:
