Here is a question for the gents and especially the ladies.  In the U.S. a woman would not typically date or marry a man that is more than 5 - 7 years older than her. In other countries like those in South America, Eastern Europe and the Far East, it is not unusual to see a man dating or marrying a woman 20 years her senior.  Sometimes you would even see as much as 30 years difference. In the U.S., you only see that in Hollywood but not your typical American scenario. So..should a big age difference prohibit older men and younger women coming together???

Those countries you name whom have the large gap in the age ... The girls usually do not have a chose or are treated  like a THING .... Watch the documentary It's a Girl currently on netflix  

That may hold true for some people in America.
However I have seen many people together and it is clearly more than a 5-7 year age difference.
I have always been attracted to older men so an age difference of more than 5-7 yrs is no big deal for me.
Just sharing my own personal opinion.
I don't think it is just a Hollywood thing of the age difference I see it all of the time

And if it's not you, how is it that the question is so eeriy similar?

nope..

Are you saying perfectstorm is a liar? Sure does look similar to me.

Remember, your post existed before you even asked the question in this thread.  

Serious chemistry. At 26 I had an enormous crush on a 43 year old. At 32 I dated a 49 year old. At 20 I had a fling with a 46 year old, all by choice.

it's harder to stay in shape and need to put in effort just to lose all the booz calories that i would have burnt off over night back in my 20s. i guess i can quit drinking but how fun would life be without it? lol  

Wanna go on a date!!!  lol

Lol. At 20 it's much easier.

and of all the "real" relationships i have been in over the last decade or so, the oldest has been in her mid thirties, and most have been mid twenties, so yes it can be done.

but if you think it's hard to stay in shape at forty, just wait until forty is a distant memory. At forty I could still take six months off from the gym and be back in shape in a couple of weeks, now it takes me six months to get in shape, and if I go more than a couple of weeks without hitting the gym it's like starting all over again. Oh, to be forty again. lol

You are basing it on Netflix.

but it looks like you and "Court" have no future together. Not that she strikes me as a woman looking for a lap dog of any age of course.

Research shows that the best chance for a long term relationship is when the man is four years older than the woman. In particular when they meet in their 20s. Women mature faster than men. As you get older that difference doesn't mean as much.

I've traveled to 21 different countries & that's before I turned 25yrs old....  So please take your little post &!put where the sun don't shine!!!!  

when we both know nothing could be further from the truth. I am literally LMAO while I write some of the stuff I do, can you honestly say the same?

and yes, unlike many others here, this is the "real" me. I tell it like it is in the real world, I don't suffer fools, and I almost always deal with issues with a smile on my face, just like I am wearing right this minute.

Now back to you, Now that "Court" has crushed your dreams, why don't you simply call your "pretty lady" and give her what have been whining and sniveling about for months.

It just occurred to me, are you as big a time waster when actually booking a lady as you are here on the board? Taylor is a hooker, you are a john, what's so tough about simply scheduling a date? Just how many emails do you exchange with a woman before finally committing to an actual date? somehow I won't be surprised if the "real" number is in the dozens.

Just ribbing you. I'd make the broad generalization that guys lag ~10 years behind women in maturity.

I focus on my job solely, which consists of mature men. Win/Win,

It's true, and I think people who give up what makes them happy in this life so others think highly of them are stupid.

It was a 3 year difference.

from the time I was twenty until now - works well both ways it seems....   but of  course each has their preferences....

After I turned 30, I was amazed that age really didn't matter to me very much. I like physically attractive women, and age at some point robs a woman of beauty as conventionally defined, but age itself really hasn't mattered to me.

Hard to find any that are older.

Dear Ms. Ova:
I am just wondering what would you say would be the ideal man that can interact romantically without judgement with a woman who is in the Adult Companionship discipline? Also what would be an ideal psychological profile of this person and why do you think this person is hard to find?

"Turdster?" Lol too funny.  

And damn proud of it  

He is also most likely the most unpleasant poster on all of TER as well.

Living your life as a lie just must suck balls.

I too refuse to live my life that way, if someone doesn't like my choices in life they can GFY IMO.

In my case it more like about 40 years behind. Maturity is over rated IMO. lol

You realize I'm just fucking with you right?

You did see the "winky" in my first reply to your post?

Note to self...quit skimming!!!!

US has least legal protection? Rofl yet we have the most lawyers in the world

But then we look like Yoda when we get really really  old.  

It's in scientifically proven....  But mmmmmmmmm I love rice & kimchi!!!  

Pictures are worth a thousand words.  Lmao!!!
