Search Results: men and their age

Many Latino men in the US chase and marry white women. Meanwhile, most of their own men, white men, would be able to write a short story on their worship of Latinas (and many do in online chatrooms) The very same women that Latino guys look over. Why are we so undesirable to you yet pursued by almost every other group at the expense of their own? When others see curves, do you just see fat? When others see exotic features, do you see something you're bored with because it's similar to your own face? When they see our romantic ways, do think we're just needy? What is 'spicy' to them is overrated to you? What is a rich olive complexion to them is not the ideal white to you? Many white guys will tell you, with zero disrespect to our beautiful white sisters, that in general they are bony in the wrong places, have nonexistent lips, thin hair and skin that has begun to age noticeably so by 21 (not my opinion). Are white women easier/promiscuous? Do you want to be white yourself? Are our personalities unbearable? Is it because many Latinas don't look like J. Lo?

My dad and I got in a huge fight today because for my whole life all he has ever done is criticize women so harshly and their appearance. He was very hard on me as a young girl and wouldn’t allow me to do anything while my brothers were allowed to do everything. He always calls women Whores and bitches and idiots. And we were watching Netflix show and the son told the dad not to call women bitches and he called the son gay so we got into a fight. But now at my age I just want to know do most men have this same mentality? And do married men really still look at other women and talk about them sexually with other men?

Me and my friend have had similar age preferences for years and that was to stick to men our age. I’m 40, she’s 39. People have been telling us for years to date men who were several years older than us. This includes our parents, aunts and uncles, each other’s parents, family friends, church members, etc. she’s even had friends our own age tell her that she should be dating older men (or so she says). I decided to give it try last spring after my same age boyfriend who had two kids and massive debt dumped me for being “too good” for him (I supported his broke ass financially), and I can say my luck changed drastically. Current guy is 55 years old and we both agreed we’re stuck with each other. At the end of summer, I had a party and invited my friend (recently heartbroken about being dumped but a guy our age for a younger girl), my boyfriend, all of his friends and all of their wives LOVED her. Every one of them and myself all thought she was perfect for a friend of theirs who was looking for someone just like her, so we agree to try to fix them up (the friend had met her once before at a charity event we were working). BF’s friend is also 55, retired, financially secure, gets a pension every month, good Christian, still works part time, has his house paid off and is looking for a woman to spoil rotten. So we pitch the idea to his friend, and the friend’s response is “that girl is a catch! She’s a nice girl with a good heart, she’s doing something with her life and she’s ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! Yes, please fix me up with her.” I mention it to her and try to convince her to no avail, she won’t date him just because he’s 16 years older than her. I told her she needs to be dating men in their 50’s and early 60’s, not our age. She said NEVER. I told her then that she’s a stubborn asshole who’s throwing away a good guy. Opinions? I want to show this to her to make her realize this is true. Women have been marrying older men for years so it clearly works.

Personally I would never date a person that is more than 5/7 years older than me. I wouldn't do this for 2 reason:

• I am non attracted to older people, expecially if they are in their late 40s or 50s, because that would feel like dating my father, given the fact that they are close in age to him rather than me.
• I think that being in different moments of lives, take people in having different plans and ideas of how their future should be, I am young, I am finishing my studies and my priority is to find a job, to travel, find financial stability, while a man who is in his 40s may be interested in creating a family, he already has a job and financial stability, so he is living in a completely different way that I am living and I think this is a reason while I could not be compatible with a older man.

So, this type of relationship wouldn't work in my personal opinion. This doesn't mean that people can't make it work, it just only mean that I would not be able to make it work.

What about you? Would you evr date an older person? Why or why not?
