Online Dating

Having married an older woman (9 years my senior), I would recommend against it. I am 47 and my wife is 56. She has no energy, no sex drive, no interests, no marketable skills, and (for the most part) lies around on the couch all day while I put in 10 hour work-days (plus commute).

She only rouses herself when I confront her about how dissatisfied I am with her approach, and our marriage.

Obviously, your mileage will vary. There appear to be plenty of vivacious, active, sexy older women (and not just on TBD). Unfortunately, I'm not married to one of them.

My final thought: It's not the age, it's the person, and the compatibility. Be careful.

I dont see anything wrong with age difference. It is just a number. I have dated men up to 15 years younger than me. He was 25 and I was 40. He was on the immature side. Then I dated a guy who was 12 years younger and he was so mature. Not at all selfish and the compatibility between us was amazing. Age is a number but I think it is the maturity level of the guy that matters. I know I could not date anyone older because I have only come across dead beats. I tried dating a man 10 years older than me and all he wanted to do was nothing. Sit and cuddle...I am too busy to sit and cuddle all the time....

5 years +- remember being a Freshman and they where Seniors? Just think about how much your body changed in that short period of time alone then came life experiences. Sure any age to a point can work. Just keep thinking about when you get older and older what the difference will be 10-20-30 years in the future .. a light will come on.

From my experience its the exact opposite. Most younger ladies that i know prefer older guys for simple stability and maturity reasons. From a male perspective I've found ladies from 30-60 appealing to me. It's all about chemistry as far as I'm concerned. They are either soulmates or they arent. For what its worth love isn't defined by age
