That's why I say "Kudos!" to Ivana Trump, who married a guy who is 36, and she is 59! Nice to hear it the other way around for a change!

yeah that sounds creepy. But I have to say that for me Ive had the best relationship with older men. The oldest was 42, in 40's men are more stable, normal, and they know a thing or two or three...ya know....

I find it amusing that dating an older guy is considered creepy, but some of the same people who say this tend to date the weirdest and meanest guys around.

i find it highly offensive when a man in their 50's+ asks me out. i will likely find it even more offensive when *i* am in my 50's (if i'm still single) and men my own age won't even give me the time of day.

If he is genuine in his interest, how could it possibly offend you?

oh, puhleeze. what exactly is genuine about his interest? the fact that my breasts haven't sagged yet? the fact that my ass doesn't look any different now from when i was in college? the fact that i'm not yet menopausal? the fact that my hair is not yet grey?

men in their 50's/60's ask out women in their 30's because it makes them feel young.

give me a break.

There is a difference between those interested in dating you and those just trying to f you. How can you assume you know every single person's intent? With this type of sour view, a guy is not bound to get a fair chance.

Besides, you should appreciate what you have now - we all age.

Sorry, but I have to disagree. All of my life I've dated older men, as much as 20 years older. Even now, in my mid-40's, I find myself dating men in their early 60's. And if you knew me, you'd know that they aren't after my perky breasts (because they aren't), my well-rounded ass (because it isn't), or my naturally auburn hair (ok, on that one I admit, my hair hasn't turned grey yet).

uh, a guy in his 50's/60's isn't ever going to GET a fair chance with me while i'm still 34. talk to me in ten more years.

i don't have a sour view. i think it's perfectly fair and reasonable to not want to date men 20+ years older than me. i do, however, think it's highly irresponsible and unfair to have a child in your 60s. why would i want to have a baby with someone in their late 50s or 60s? that's what i have to think about when i'm dating someone.

and i'd venture to say that most women in their 20's & 30's who date seriously older men are often in it for the money & security.
