As a 41 yo woman, would you date a 62 yo man ?

He's good looking, financially comfortable, works full time, funny, fit and healthy

But it just seems such a huge age gap

I did as we'd already been together 20 years at that time (and still are together)! We've been together since I was 22 and he was 43 so it was just one of those things.

Would I go start going out with someone with that age gap at that age? It would depend on what we had in common but I wouldn't rule it out.

22 ans 43.

Ick.

Am I supposed to be bothered that some random on the internet thinks my nearly 27 year relationship is 'ick'?

Hypothetically, if I fancied them , then yes. There's certainly nothing wrong with two adults dating even if there's a large gap .

Paul Weller is in his mid 60s, and has a younger wife and small children.

@PinkSparklyPussyCat most people think it..

I’ve always thought an age gap where one could be the parent is usually but not always ick. 20 years older is a different generation.

if Mr 62 thinks a 20 year gap is great, tell him to find an 82 year old lady!

Well that's their problem isn't it? My relationship is absolutely nothing to do with them (or any of the oh so perfect posters on MN). My 'ick' relationship has lasted a lot longer than many other peoples.

I'm 37 and my dad is 62 so no.
