Search Results: dating an older woman

I don't think it's really possible to truly become emotionally mature until anyone has started to live independently and forced to make compromises, communicate, and collaborate effectively with others that they don't like. So I kept it in the adult range, as it's not too likely that anyone too young is considering consequences it's relatively easy to avoid those things before becoming an adult.


For the men: what age range have you noticed changes during your day to day interactions, dating, work, etc.

For the women: same as above, or with the additional of your own testimony, and what life occurrences would you say has resulted in the biggest growth in emotional maturity? That last part is the most important.


This question isn't asked out of malice, I'm just curious. I've seen women younger than me be very considerate of the thoughts and emotions of those around them, meanwhile others older show contempt for anyone that goes against them in some way. Is there a point that most flip, or is it a life experience (and men and women live very different lives, hence splitting the question)?

I was on social media watching a funny skit it was talking about age gaps and in it someone made a joke about this generation making certain age gaps weird which I fully agree with. The gap that was mentioned in the skit was 19 and 17 dating wise. The guy making the skit said that that’s not a weird gap at all which I agreed with and so I went to the comments mostly by accident but I saw that there were actually people in the comments trying to argue that it’s weird for a 19yr old to date a 17 yr old or that it depends on on if the girl is 17 turning 18 or if she had just turned 17. I’ll post a pic down below for reference. Now I’ve had my own fair share of problems dealing with dating I’m a bit older but I do often get girls quit a few years younger then me that take interest. Which I’ve given these girls a shot the gap is bigger then 17 and 19 but I still got some flack for it. But seriously since when did 17/19 become a weird thing they are literally within the same age bracket and the people that argue against these age gaps never make any sense with their arguments cause it’s always contradictory one I’ve heard for bigger age gaps for girls who are 18 dating older guys is that oh just cause it’s legal doesn’t mean it’s right and that 18 to 19 is still a child. But then in this context they are fully treating the age of 19 as an adult and saying 17 is a minor which it is but if 19 is still widely considered the age of a child then this gap shouldn’t be an issue. You see what I mean they pick and choose when someone gets to be an adult based on their own agenda and it’s really freakin weird. Makes me wonder what’s gonna happen in future generations ratings already shit just seems like it’s getting worse with these weird age restrictions especially since most girls within that range tend to date up woman in general tend to date guys a great deal older then them from what I seen. My mother and father have a 10 year gap. I don't know maybe I’m crazy.

"Living together" or "cohabiting" means that either one or both of you gave up your previous living quarters and moved in with the other, so that if there was an argument, you couldn't get in your car and go home. . . because you were already home. And it covers couples that were married as well as unmarried couples. But it doesn't include relationships in which you would spend weekends at her apartment.

I have lived with six women over the span of 53 years of dating. The first was Pat, a girl who came in and out of my life over a period of decades. Ultimately, she cheated on me with another female. Yes, I believe that part of the infidelity was prompted by her bisexuality. We lived together for a total of five years.

Next was Evelyn, 11 years older than me, a rebound from Pat and a horrible choice for me. We lived together for about five months. She moved out after confessing that she cheated on me with my former roommate.

Debby and I lived together for 15 years, Lynn and I for 5 years, and another bad decision and I lived together for about 2 years.

Helen and I started living together three years ago. It is the best relationship I have ever had.

If I could go back in time. . . three of the first five should have never happened. Fortunately, I've learned from my mistakes.
