Mumsnet has not checked the qualifications of anyone posting here. Many Mumsnetters experiencing domestic abuse have found this thread helpful: Listen up, everybody. I am 46 and seem to have lost all traction with men my own age online dating or otherwise. It seems I am just too old for them to get serious about.
So that leaves me with the men in their late 50's and 60's who I have tried to visit web page but they are too old and often have ED or we just have nothing in common. So then there are the younger mid 20's to mid 30's men who do message me and even approach me in real life. I do find them attractive but am put off due to stage of life difference and because I assume they are only after me because they think I'll be grateful for any attention I get.
I have a grown up daughter and will not be having any more children so I know none of these relationships dating be for keeps. I'm tempted but deep down Https://wellnessways.info/zaystheway-onlyfans.php know for most of these men it is just younger sex thing but at least the sex would be good just click for source I am not convinced I can have a no strings relationship either and if I ended up seeing a younger man for months at at time and he was nice, treated me well I'd probably end up having feelings for them.
Most recently a advice attractive 31 year old has been showing interest and has asked me out, I've batted his advances away but am thinking of saying yes. Age gap relationships good stories. We have a lot of fun, are really dating each other, and who knows what the future holds - but it's good now. Similar age gap to yours. Love the man. Happy if you want to DM me. Honestly, if you're talking about sex being good, my experience is exactly the opposite.
The younger the guy, the worse it was! The best sex ever was with men who were older than me. I think you have man be careful. Younger man have a lot of issues and they are very immature.
They will obviously want their own children one day, they date multiple beautiful younger women and I have a problem with being with a man who people think might be my son. Younger they wanted marriage and children they'd be looking for someone a similar age.
But if they just want sex and a laugh then older will do. Probably Peter Pans. Are the going to take you seriously? Probably not. But realistically that's not much different from men your own are anyway by the sounds of it. Might as well go cougar. My ex was 17 years younger than me - it gave me a bit of pause for thought at the start but honestly had no impact on our relationship at all. The reason we split was nothing to do with age. It did help that we were at similar life stages - he had his child early - me late.
We were together a long time and for most of that very happy. I have been asked out by someone else with a similar age gap younger think we visit web page at different stages and I don't fancy him and prefer him as a friend but if I was wanting a fling Dating would have gone for it. I have found now men my age or older just seem so old - in attitude. I definitely think it should be the individual rather than the age that you make a decision on.

I had a young man trying to persuade me to meet him by asking me if I didn't want the Mrs Robinson experience. What a joker. Agree with PP. Not to sound bitter and knew it could happen but I put him on a pedestal but he was VERY hard work, OCD, lied to my face often and relapsed on Cocaine in the advice - running off to mummy and daddy accusing me of a toxic relationship despite living in my house rent free for 18m!
I don't think you can generalise. Can you be generalised for him, as 'an older woman', and do you fit the mould? Or might there be lots of 'older women' who are very different? I think if go here start to move down to mid 20s then it becomes a bit ick and not right. But 30s is fine in my view.
He's 31 and I'm Started off as a bit of fun which turned into the most amazing connection ever and best relationship I've ever had. Was single 3 years before meeting him and never thought of dating younger guys but met him And wow!
Don't write anything off with the younger ones. He's treat me better than men my age who I dated and committed fairly quickly rather than the dithering about which a lot of men do! Happy to say a year down the line things are still as amazing and looking forward to our future together. Agree about not writing the idea off!
So tell me about dating younger men?
It can work! From the perspective of the receiving end, it seems to be popular! I wasn't entirely happy some months back with noticing the majority of interest in me was coming from women man than me. Recently I decided to have a man at embracing the fact, and increased the upper range of my filter to look at the potential options.
I've come to the conclusion its worth leaving them that way and applying my usual rules for swiping left or right. So would it just be a short term thing you would be interested in with someone older assuming you want children dating future?

I met my partner 9 years ago when he was 24 and I was 35, so 11 year age gap and just the right side of the half your age plus 7 rule! Again was a bit of fun at first with no expectations but turned into more organically. Your ideal profile is probably someone in their thirties, professional, no plans for kids, ostensibly solvent, enjoys sex mutually but that's not the only motivating factor, wide social circle to draw upon, career focused, has a busy calendar of hobbies but wants to share them.
It's difficult, but far from impossible. I'd start by concentrating on guys 31 to 45, most guys are relatively mature if they're successful at that age. Online date, but meet early to ensure chemistry.
When I was online dating, that's the age range I advice my profile at for women. Most guys don't mind an older partner, if they are intelligent and mature, and there's a connection and you enjoy spending time together. Good luck. A lot of women find this difficult. Good questions. I have 2 adult step children from the last long relationship, so its not something I'm looking for. However its not a hard no either, if it was someone younger. I wouldn't say not looking or hoping either, age is just something you need to make a decision on.
Man guess I'm just being more open minded about it than I have been, that I might find someone I like beyond those fairly arbitrary numbers I set. Obviously incentivised by interest in me, but not solely determined by it. I'm not going to meet someone unless See more imagine it'll work and I'd be happy if it did.
I don't think about duration, I find the idea of even thinking about it strange. I'm only really thinking about whether I like someone, and if they like me to then check this out where it goes.
I prefer to be grounded in the present, rather than get caught up in making plans about advice I'm not really in control of. Men in their 20s approaching a 46 yo are almost certainly just looking for fun. Men in their 30s could be that or serious - late 30s to 46 isn't an eyebrow raising age gap for a proper relationship.
I dated a guy 15 years younger than me.

I was thinking about this, this morning. If a younger guy wants a family he isn't going to be interested in a 46 year old like me. But if he doesn't or he already has children he might be. That goes for men my own age younger well though. I can't imagine having much in common with a dating year old or even a 60 year who are nearing retirement or winding down to retirement there are the advice exceptions but someone 30 or 32 I'd have loads in common with.
Maybe I haven't grown up and have a Peter Pan complex. I do look young for my age and people who don't know me always assume I'm mid 30s so that doesn't help. Please create an account or log in to access all these features. Sharing posts outside of Mumsnet does not disclose your username.
