Is it normal for a 50 year old man to be friends with a 21/22 year old female?

If he is an older student at university, he’s very sociable. He tries to have a friendship with this girl. Is it normal or abit odd?

Absolutely, I see no issue with it not to mention the wisdom you can get from him and as a male role model if you even will, there are older guys who are usually nice to younger girls because some guys are just nice and sociable like that I wouldn’t be concerned about it at all, now as far as like relationship wise if he or you have a love interest that is between you two there are many benefits to having an older guy in your life usually financially stable, great providers, still fertile and capable of reproduction for children unless he has adverse medical health that prevents that, so I say nothing wrong with it at all.

Not normal, unless he's a sugar daddy and she's getting something out of it financially. They probably meetup a few times for friends with benefits/NSA enjoyment, then go their own separate ways. Its basically the female version of MGTOW however instead of going her own way, she becomes independent based off being dependent to older men. My friend fucked up her relationship doing this stuff behind her current husbands back, she just needed the affirmation because he probably hardly ever said "I love you."

When I was 18 there was a 55 year old who was doing his bachelors degree at my school, I saw him at bible study barbecues at the school, he was an active member of the Christian fellowship.

"Friends" is such a general term. I have musician friends who are 20 or 30 years older. I spend time speaking with some of my 70 and 80 year old neighbors. My grandparents' friends children are all significantly older than I am but we are still friends.

Yeah, I have seen 43-year-old men dating 21-year-old women. There is nothing wrong with it. I don't know why people complain about older guys dating young women so much. You see older women dating young guys, and no one cares.

Yes, surely he is giving him money or gifts in exchange for fornicating with him.

My mother had a friend like that who helped her and basically got my parents together, he died before I was born and his first name is my middle name

[shanshu]

Ofcourse it's normal, your both of legal age even if you were sleeping with then, I mean if you're in a relationship with them wise yeah it's abit weird but friendship or sex is not a big deal

[Sparkie460]

There's nothing wrong with it. I'm 55 and I have 2 female friends who are in their 20's. There's nothing going on between us except friendship

Its normal... Young seniors dont get a lot of social interaction with young people at least in my area anyway.

[nawtee_me]

absolutely, I am 65 and have female friends in their 20's. Age is not a requirement for friendships...

[maximumpower]

Not necessarily normal, but remember she has a say in it, as well.
Don't make this all HIS fault.

[Guardian45]

You tell me. It's fine, but ONLY if it's fine for YOU!

[Guy13]

Maybe she reminds him of his daughter

[Wise4myage]

Sure, I see nothing wrong with that.

[BarryLiverstone]

Normal to be friends. Why not?

[jamartheg]

It’s only normal if he’s dating all of them

[dudeinohio]

Nope

[panamared1]

They can be friends
