Is it morally wrong to hang out/date a guy who is 36 and I'm 53? Not sure what I want out of it but I know we have good chemistry and similarities.
If I'm married, should I tell him?
Not at all , Age is just a number for the most part , If he treats you well and makes you smile that’s all that matters , if you both have great chemistry and connection together and you are both attracted to each other that’s all that matters , people
That hold age as a deciding factor are just limiting themselves from finding someone that might actually be amazing to them , I have dated younger and older girls because I had amazing chemistry and connection with them and we were both attracted too each other. Some of the younger girls’ I have dated were more mature than girls that were older than me so again age really doesn’t matter to me when it comes to chemistry and connection. If I see a beautiful girl that catches my eye and I walk up to her and introduce myself , the first words out of my mouth isn’t
Going to be How old are? That would be pretty silly , if the topic of age comes up later in the conversation , and we realize we have an age gap it doesn’t mean I am automatically going to not like her , so that’s why she doesn’t really matter to me
If both parties are adults then yes it's ok. Will some people have a problem with it sure. But they can go screw off because two consenting adults are in no way needing others to say it's ok. For me this is too much of a gap but that's just me. You do you.
I am confused by how many similar questions about what's right or wrong just like this happen on gag. Is it legal to do so? If yes then how can someone else tell you what's right or wrong for you if you're an adult?
It we're talking something illegal or something that's physically harming yourself or others then you can say it's wrong.
Are you looking for approval of others or was this just a question you had out of curiosity?
Regarding your update. Where is it written in stone that the moral committee has agreed that your age gap at your specific ages is wrong?
All that matters is that you're both clearly adults and you need to go by what feels right to you both not what anyone else thinks. F us and our opinions lol. What do you feel?
You're NOT dating. ROFL. Get that into your head.
You're passing entertainment. A fling, causal sex, friends with benefits. Something that your "young lover" can brag and laugh about the desperation of with his friends.
.
After all, a woman at your age has little reproductive value and unless you're wealthy it's not like he'll inherit much if you were seriously dating / got involved long term.
I'm so glad most people here think it's ok. It can be hard to have that gap, especially if the woman is older, but if the two involved really care for one another, it should not matter.

Are you using him just for sex or do you see a potential relationship in the future? If this is just for casual sex, does he know not to expect more?
I'm not sure what I want out of it. I just know we have chemistry and a lot of similarities.
"If I'm married, should I tell him?" IF? You're not sure? What can you do to figure out whether you're married?
and yet there is somebody else in your affair on your husband. remember that an affair doesn't always have to be sexual.
your trying to make this new guy the 3rd wheel. stop before it gets worse. once you jump that fence you can't unjump it just because you have some simmlarities doesn't mean you should marry him.
you dont see how your husband feels his wife being more distant from him every day. you may not think he notices: but he notices.
Not wrong at all. Women reach their sexual peak in their thirties while men reach their peak around 18, or about 17 years apart.
18 year old “men” are not sexy in the least.
@Awkwardskankk 100% agree
Why would it be wrong just because he's 17 years younger than you?
I'd say it entirely depends on yours a d his priorities and if they are realistic and match. I mean try imagining what it'll be like 20 years down the line too when you're in your 60s and he is just in his 40s.
Ultimately I'd say it isn't an ideal situation at all for a long term commitment but you might get a life long friend in the long run.
I wouldn't say it's wrong per se, but it all depends if your expectations and reality match up or not and if you two are on the same page.
It’s not wrong but there are some things to consider. Among them, will the relationship be long term and - if so - will be comfortable & faithful when you’re 50 and he’s 33. Just really think about the whole situation more than just the age gap or the ‘right now’ experience of it all.
The old math said: Half your age plus 7yrs is as low as you can go, socially speaking. So 29-33 would be your socially accepted age range. Nowadays everyone lets their inner freak flag fly, so who are we to judge. I can't imagine what you'd be able to relate to him about anything other than a history lesson. Personally, I found it annoying dating someone 9 years younger just because they didn't understand my older pop-culture/verbal references.
I dated a lady 17 years older and the issue that led to it ending was that she final listened to the criticism from her friends and family about "robbing the cradle" as if a 24-year-old who owned his house outright and owned a business that at the time employed 8 fulltime people (14 now) who each made a minimum of $40K was somehow a baby.
as long as it's legal.
Guys do it all the time so it wouldn't be any different for you.
I always liked being with older women, they know stuff.
no, as long as they are both adults, its their choice
so i can answer this pretty well. one of my sisters friends met a guy at a singles event. she at the time was 32. he was 56 twice divorced. they ended up getting married. turns out the relationship sucked and the only reason they got married was because he got her pregnant and she stayed with him so her two kids would have a father figure. it was a disaster and ended like everyone thought. their now divorced and she's happily married to a guy more age appropriate
yes. when the age gap is enough for them to be your adult kid, you know its a skip. Predator vibes much?
So i wouldn't be able to date someone in their early 20s even though people say i look that age?
@Monalisa77 "looking" that age doesn't really mean shit. what a bizarre comment
People r surprised when i tell them my real age, they assume im in my 20s
cool story bro. I couldn't really give a shit. still irrelevant but i see you just feel the need to "show off" so you do you i guess.
I was asking a genuine q
2 adults should be able to judge themselves if it's correct or not. As long as both are open and honest about what they want it's all good
It’s definitely a bit creepy, if they’re of legal age it’s not as weird, but it gives off bad vibes
When you turn 80 and he's 17 years younger, that is sick! I knew someone who was 80 seeing a guy that was 59 and their sex life was great.
No, no consensual relationship between adults is "wrong." As long as it is consensual and they are adults, it's never "wrong."
Consenting adults? Nope. Either way; also older women and younger guys. Gotta consider children, though.
Nope. Enjoy, have fun I hope you both learn something from your time together
You guys are both adults, and I imagine given your age range that he may be young but ain't exactly no spring chicken.. So it's fine..
I suppose it is fine I just don't see it lasting long term..
not when you over 30. big gap is insignificant
Age is only a number. Do what makes you happy and ignore other opinions.
@ update: the fact that you think you shouldn’t tell him is very problematic. Misleading others will open other doors.
Only if he is under age 16, the age of consent in most states.
Wrong in what sense? If it's just a fling it's fine but there will be problems if you expect a long term relationship to work with that difference when the woman is the older one.
@nastyb Many of the same will. I just mean there are some biological and economic reasons why relationships where the man is older can be more successful. Men can still have kids into old age whereas women run dry by 40, 50 or earlier. It is also more likely an older man will be financially stable which makes it easier to support a pregnancy. Of course there are exceptions.
If the goal of the relationship is not to have a family, it doesn't really matter.
@OfDeath
A man will not be able to support the family if he is 10 years away from retiring. A kid needs around 25 years of financial support through college in order to have a chance at a successful life. Most peoplr retire around 62 to 64. So if a man wants to be able to provide a decent life for his family, he should have his last child by 40
And plus, its been scientifically proven that kids born to older fathers tend to be at a higher risk of mental illnesses.
No, have fun.
Only the motivations can be 'wrong'.
But not the age gap itself.
If you are married, you should tell him Hun
Age difference not a big issue at all, that is wonderful
As long as you're both clear on expectations of the relationship its fine
You should maybe tell your husband before you cheat.
Sure! as long as you're not anywhere between 17 and 35, at the time.
No as long as you too dig each other who gives a shit? I live my life for me not the rest of the world. Besides in all honesty no one really cares.
Funny how older women can only use young men for sex
but young women can be everything an older man needs in a wife
Nothing wrong with it. If he was about 18 or 19 it would be a bit strange.
You’re definitely gonna get stares from people for the wrong reason
You only live once so enjoy your time together 😉
If you have to ask then there’s something you don’t like about it
Not if it's consensual. If he is into you and you are into him. Then it's fine.
As long as both parties are over 18 and consent. It doesn't matter
If a man was doing this you would instantly call him at pedophile like most of the women on here do when they don't like an. age difference.
She’s 45+, the man she’s dating seems to be at least 28. How’s that paedo 🙂
That being said they use this word too often and unreasonably. Men are just ephebophiles and I could argue, that so are some women… Who doesn’t like a handsome 19 year old?
And women will get more and more into it now that they are claiming new powers from this new era.
Pedophilia, as we both know is the attraction to prepubescent children… So, of course it’s not.
However, it keeps us wondering why is it illegal then?
Because as the history has shown us, and I doubt you’d deny, men naturally like youth and some take advantage of a female’s youth, as low as they can get and it , in most cases, felt predatory to have 13-16 year old girls married to much older men.
I know men, all too well, to have it denied. I was at that age myself as well. So, I know the real face of most men.
If not laws, men would not hesitate to go at the lowest threshold of the over puberty period.
This laws are not created just by women, these laws are creatured by the fathers, brothers - who cared about the females in their family and eanted to give them a freedom of choosing what they want in life, without being exploited by an older male.
I don’t think it’d pedophilia at all. And as I said, I believe most men are ephebophiles, I always knew it, I learned it when I was trying to understand what did all these old men want from me when I was do much younger.
Byt it doesn’t mean it doesn’t feel wrong, it felt very wrong for me to be in the center of attention of those men and It was a huge disappointment for me as a teenager.
Bow I can’t change the nature’s way and I am not going to judge you what’s fair or not. I don’t care. But I am very happy young women are rarely taken advantage of these days and they are legally given time to grow a brain, before they are able to nake decisions.
It wins time for them, so maybe at 18 they can know better.
I am not judging any men, I always liked younger men than me myself, of course, there are some exceptions…
But yep, it’s not pedophilia but you can’t blame women to be very suspectful about men, as they have proved to hunt on us when we were young teenagers ourselves.
I have never called anyone that word… I dated someone 21 year older than me in August. Dating with that age difference at 26 and dating with that age difference at 16 is different though.
I don’t get, why are you upset about this topic.
Depends on how old as in if they are early 20s then it’s fine I think
Well, considering 17 years younger than me would be a 9 year old, probably not.
I don't see anything wrong with the age part.
The married part? Absolutely.
It’s not illegal but i’m my personal opinion it’s kinda weird
Tooo big of a gap lol... you can but you already know the relationship has a timer..
At your age, no. That guy would be close to or over 30, so as long as you both consent, go for it
I think it really doesn't matter what we tell you. You have to live with the repercussions. Risk vs. Reward.
No it's your choice and his choice
If he is adult then it's fine
Vice versa too
45 years old guys can bang 18 year old girl it's normal ✌️✌️👍👍
It's a personal choice and preferences
No it's not but can you handle dating a younger man
Obviously its wrong you dumb whore, grow a sense of maturity you retard
It depends on how old you are. At your age, it’s fine
Whoever gets this relationship is very lucky
It depends on the what actual ages are involved and reasons you're dating him
Gosh... You must be seriously desperate!
you do it in private away from everyone. Secretly invite him into your room.
Of course not. Why would you think it was?
only if he is under 18...
Only you know what's right
If he's above 18 then naah
for what reason?
no, as long as its legal, where you are
Yeah if he is 17 and under.
Whatever works for you
