Can a man over 40 marry a younger woman?

Question

Can a man over 40 marry a younger woman? I like mature men.

ShellyB · Accepted Answer

“Younger” yes, 17 I do not think is a good idea!! I think 18 is considered an adult and at that point you can do nearly anything you want legally speaking but, I think even 40 and 20 is too big a gap to usually work, I would say 40 and 25 could work or anything less than that could work. I don’t mean in terms of what is “allowed” I just mean what is likely to be a good relationship and, I could be wrong that is just my opinion.

DishLady · Accepted Answer

CAN? Yes.  SHOULD HE? Depending on the gap in question, probably not.

Berethor · Accepted Answer

Yea, men prefer women who didn't hit the wall, young women tend to look better.

AviatorTom · Accepted Answer

So long as she is of legal age, there's nothing illegal about an older man marrying a younger woman... or the exact opposite.

ohsheeT · Answer

Yes of course. If that's what you both want and it makes you happy I sat do it

Avicenna · Answer

It’s rare, but does happen sometimes (I assume you mean a woman of legal age).

Anonymous · Answer

trust me, there are plenty of perverted 40 yr old men who want the freshest, tightest, youngest girls possible. then by the time you get old, he will trade you for another 18 yr old girl.

you would have no problem attracting an old man as an 18 yr old girl. the real difficulty lies in whether or not he is with you for the right reasons.

serious · Answer

Can? Yes of course he can. "Can" indicates possibility so yes of course it is possible for a man to do this. However, whether a man will do it or not is highly subjective.

Tarifa · Answer

It's not uncommon for the man to be 5 to 10 years older. In your case, it's more than that. But that's something we cannot judge, you'll have to find out on an individual basis.

RavVid · Answer

It is completely legal when you are 18 no one can stop you. There are clearly advantages for you.

In fact there is a saying on this. "Better an older man's darling than a younger man's fool". Sums it up fairly well.

fonduegirl · Answer

How young? 30yr old woman, sure. A friggin teenager... No, that would be absurd. For age gap, it's usually a good rule to avoid people who could be your biological children's age. It's plain disgusting

rtj1211 · Answer

They can, but they will likely confront prejudice of those who think otherwise.

kellytheman · Answer

Yeah but it depends on how young she is. I usually have a 10 year gap rule but I would like to younger if I could. I am 36 now I would mind being with a girl that is 24 or 23.

Anonymous · Answer

Many do today. And you have to ask yourselves "why?"

Fireguy17 · Answer

Yes, depending on how much younger. 18 to late 20s too young, 30s and higher sure.

FunkyMonkee · Answer

Of course!! Happens quite a lot!! Jerry Lewis did!!

Shiprex · Answer

Yes as long as she is over the age of consenting to marriage.

Staximus · Answer
