Age gap relationships , where there is an age gap of 20 years or more.

Is it just ..what it is ?
Or are there real mummy / son issues involved?

I bug out everytiime I read something like this. Why cant people just like what they like they dont need nor want anybody to analyze why there together. Just let people live there life how they see fit
Kae20 · 56-60, FVIP
@Bklynbadboy12 absolutely!

Personally speaking I'm in a relationship with a much younger Man , so asking the question to explore other prospectives .

I mean theres no one size fits all ..right?

I once dated a guy 3 years younger than me when I was 19. The gap felt extreme at the time.
Kae20 · 56-60, FVIP
@SomeMichGuy Brilliant!
Convivial · 26-30, F
@Kae20 maybe there's the appeal of it being slightly taboo?
chrisCA · M
@Flowerz Especially when many guys at that age are immature.
When I was 21, the women who saw me as amazing, talented, etc., and liked my shyness were older. But ~17 yrs.

Not about mommy, about differential peaks on the physical side, and better insight/discernment on the life experience side.
@Kae20 You can think what you like, but the coincidence of hormone peaks and the older women seeing my potential more than explain it.
Kae20 · 56-60, FVIP
@SomeMichGuy hun I was agreeing with you.
Kae20 · 56-60, FVIP
Also there was something you said

[quote] and liked my shyness/quote]

Has me thinking that ..maybe one the reasons why some older women are attracted to teenage boys is that - they might see them as being less threatening than older adult males.

Perhaps theyve had bad or difficult experiences with grown males. So then find a young boy much more easier to handle 🤔

Its just a thought ..I could be way off . Having said this there is no excuse for encouraging a relationship with a boy who is under the age of consent. Which in the UK is 16yrs .

I enjoy much younger men, its not for everyone but works for me
Kae20 · 56-60, FVIP
@FreeSpirit1 🙂 Okay what are the 3 best aspects you enjoy?
FreeSpirit1 · 51-55, F
@Kae20 the thrill of him being attracted to someone much older is a turn on and flattering to me, most have much more stamina than guys my age and most are not looking for a wife .
Jeephikelove · 46-50, F
I haven’t yet but have been approached by way younger men, one has been pursuing me for 2 years, he’s 22 years younger. I’m just not attracted to him though. Sometimes I think that’s the way to go, men my age, if they’re single, are angry or just in the thought of I’m only doing casual for now on.
Kae20 · 56-60, FVIP
@Jeephikelove if your not attracted to him ..it wouldn't work anyhow. Aside from that 22 years is a huge gap.

However I know of couples where it has worked. Like any serious relationship it comes down to both having essential needs met .

I recently remarried and my husband is 17 years younger than me.


Two years ago, I entered the dating scene and reluctantly at first, began for the first time relating with younger men

This persuaded me , That indeed I could take an age gap relationship serious. Prior to that I would have taken a lot of convincing.

In any case , as are getting to know each other , we would sensibly expect most new relationships to be casual.

However for me once I realise that I am serious about a man , I would then without wasting any time prefer to marry over dating.

It's the highest level of commitment two people can enjoy . Why continuously 'date' when you can both enjoy the very best your relationship can offer
Jeephikelove · 46-50, F
@Kae20 congratulations on your recent marriage. 🎉
TheotherAndy · 41-45, M
I was with someone almost twenty years older. We ended it at the time because I was moving, I can’t imagine we wouldn't have stayed together otherwise
akindheart · 61-69, F
i have before. younger men freak out though. they can't seem to get comfortable with the age gap as I did.
bwcdadddy · 46-50, M
@akindheart what's up? 🙂
akindheart · 61-69, F
@bwcdadddy lots. lets catch up!

Usually psychological reasons: parent issues!
Kae20 · 56-60, FVIP
@Wiseacre There may very well be.

For me I unexpectedly discovered ( out of the blue ..it seemed ) that boys generally around the age of 7-10 begin detatching themselves from their mothers .

Perhaps its a societal thing, were they are encouraged to become more grown up or its natures way a natural shift 🤔

I felt saddened by this .

Since becoming involved in my previous relationship ( where my partner affectionately referred to me as mummy) I felt somehow less saddened @ losing the childhood relationship I had with my son , before he quite suddenly grew up.

And happy to allow my partner to forfil that role instead.

Still we were both 'non -related '
consenting adults . Is this a harmless dynamic. Is the question? .
Wiseacre · F
I see no harm in it..@Kae20
Kae20 · 56-60, FVIP
@Wiseacre :) I dont either
nameless1 · 36-40
Might as well like younger men. The men my age like younger women.
Kae20 · 56-60, FVIP
@nameless1 there's some truth in that. But if they didn't would you prefer to be with a man your age ?
nameless1 · 36-40
@Kae20 i used to prefer men my age cuz we had so much more in common but im pretty fed up with men at the moment



.
Kae20 · 56-60, FVIP
@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout So then natural for some grown men to want to rekindle a relationship similar to what he once had with his mother ..before was told he had to grow up?
Bklynbadboy12 · 31-35, M
Why does everybody think when there's a age cap that somebody has mommy issues or daddy issues? Maybe that's just what they're like. Everybody has a preference maybe thats there
Mia123 · 41-45, F
@Bklynbadboy12... Isn't it something nice that we can talk freely with someone who can perceive our perspective and lifestyle.?
Adogslife · 61-69, M
If I was 20 and she was 40 (and had a great body), I hit it… primarily for the experience. Let’s face it, mature women know what they want. As a result, they’re often better lovers.

Long term interest though? No, not at any age.

I personally don't like it for myself. All the guys that approach me are younger. But I don't judge anyone else either. Unless one person is much younger and being used.
Muthafukajones · 46-50, M
Human life spans are relatively brief. Being in a serious long term relationship with someone so much older dooms the younger person to many years without their partner.
