I'm only attracted to older men.

[Candacesarah1884]

I'm 38 and have had long term relationships with men up to 10 years older than me previously. I only find older men attractive and would date someone up to the age of 70. I'm getting mixed opinions from friends and family. They'd like to see me with someone closer my own age. Is it wrong to date men 20/25 years older?

Each to their own. I’m over 60 myself and would not want another old man to care for if DH wasn’t around, thanks!

Why does it matter what others think? live your life, don't get why it's an issue

Younger men are normally very shallow in my experience.

The two shallowest men I've ever dated were older.

So tbh this is bollocks.

This sounds like a made up/fake thread.

Hi OP. I'm sorry people are giving you a hard time about this. I'm a couple of years younger than you and I'm exactly the same. No, I'm not after money, nor do I have 'daddy issues'. You like who you like and well..age is just a number. Nevermind what people say, you're an adult and if you connect with someone older, you go for it. All the best x

If that’s your preference, then of course it’s fine to go for that. I do think it natural for friends and family to not understand, or have reservations, but it’s your life at the end of the day. I think with any relationship, you never really know how it will turn out, no matter what the age gap is. I used to date men around 20 years older than me when I was younger, and I was definitely looking for a man to ‘take care’ of me (not in a financial sense), and I didn’t really find men my own age compatible. I ended up marrying a man only 4 years older than me as I think this was what seemed more ‘acceptable’, but he was just not really interested in a true partnership, although I don’t put that down to his age. Since getting divorced 3 years ago, I definitely seem to attract people my own age or slightly younger. I wouldn’t focus too much on age, and concentrate on the qualities that are important to you in a partner.

When I first read this I thought fake, it's here to get people bothered but no one is, it's your life, live it!
