I could only date someone 20 years older than me until they've become so old that they need to be in a retirement home.
Then I would say no. If I'm 30 and they are 50, ok..once they hit 55/60 I'm done.
Well that means you don't love them, workout with them if you want them to stay good. I've met many people in there 50's who are fit and good looking bc they workout.
I don't they are weird. It really depends on the people. Some 20 year olds have the personality of a 40 year old, so it could work in that aspect. I only think it's weird of the older person has extremely noticeable wrinkles, like clearly this person has aged a hella lot. But I think the inter-generational couple on Modern Family can be cute at times.
They're a little off the beaten path, but as long as both parties are over the age limit, is there really anything to gripe about? Live and let live, people.
I'm 17 and my boyfriend is 24 and people still look at us strange with that gap, I don't care, but if It was like a 20 year gap I think I would be a little uncomfortable. I don't think I would go over 10+ years older.
If the person is too young and naive, it works to the advantage of the older because they'd mold the young into their lifestyle.
I still remember my Programing teacher advising males in the class to never marry women within their age range because they're too manipulative and instead marry one below 25 when you're over 45 following the principle I said in the previous paragraph.
Of course, it’s creepy and uncomfortable to date someone 20+ years or a whole generation. It will look very bizarre especially in the public eye. People aren’t really down with a Hugh Hefner type of old age guy with a 25-year old model.
However, it’s their thing., either for love or for sex. You don’t even have to like it or respect it, but let it them be as long there is no trouble. It will feel weird, which is ok since it deserves that reaction. Its not in society's comfortable norm. Its mostly based on appearance and the actual ages is the deal breaker. People won't notice if the couple looks like the same age, but be astounded to find at the true age gap.Also, T\they will notice in a instant and give their sigma on the couple that looks they are from a huge age different regardless the true age gap is that or not. People naturally judge appearances first. It also depends on the couple themselves. Some young ones are mature and some are native and a much older person can take advantage of that. The older person also can act immature for their age and will get pass off by the other young person who feels that person is not worth it if it were a serious relationship that is.
Personally, I like older women along with younger girls, but I mainly have crushes and feelings for girls at or around my age, which is 20. So, whatever floats and goes. The youngest I will look at is high school age and that minimum limit will go up as I get more older. By the way, I don’t go stalk around high schools to look at girls or even try to have anything sexual with them due to the age limit. I’m not an idiot. Plus, that’s not I main anyway. The highest I will go is under my parents’ age, which is 39. I wonder how old my 3rd grade teacher is?
When I go out with my older group of gay friends (they're all over 40 if not more) I always get those 'so where do you fit into this group' kinda look from waitresses or whatever, but it doesn't really phase me I connect with older guys because of the maturity and life experiences they provide that I've only been able to almost get with someone 2 years younger than me but once those great discussions ended I kinda realized how immature he was. But he's still one of my great friends.
Once when I worked in a clothing store an older man around 50/55 came in asking if I've seen another guy. I then asked, oh is he your son? Turns out the 19 year old looking guy in the change room was his boyfriend and he got super offended by me.
It's uncomfortable but whatever you want make it work. I personally think I'd only be able to date someone up to 10 years older than me, even that's a stretch. I don't want to be paying for their retirement before we pay for our wedding.
