July 24 May December romances
'Mrs. Robinson look-a-like.' We generally accept May December romances--when the man plays the December part. But what about older women with younger men? I'm not talking three or five years, how about ten or fifteen? And just how December can a man get before he's pushing cradle robbing?
Hi Tarah, I think May December relationships are not okay or acceptable when the Man is over 25 years. I think it's okay when the couple get together when there older like 35 and 55. It really bothers me when a way older man is with a young twenty year old. More and more older woman are getting with younger men and I'm happy about that. I hate double standards and theres no reason why it can't go both ways. I think a big difference with the two are its usually a older man looking for a trophy and a younger woman looking for a sugar daddy, and with a older woman younger man it's about love. I'm not saying in every case but to my thinking it's like that.

Hi, My husband of 22 years is 8 years younger than me! Most of the guys that I dated were younger than me. What can I say? That way I can train them. My aunt's husband was 13 years younger than her. This trend kind of runs in our family. What bothers me with any relationship is when they are gold diggers involved! Thanks, Cindi

as long as you love each other it shouldnt matter but I agree with Dena people think it's ok for some and not the other and it shouldnt matter if it is ok for men why not for women but if your married you shouldn't break those promises to one another find ways to spice up your marriage to bring love back in it

I know the term cougar has become popular recently in describing older women who are with younger men. I think ten years apart is pretty standard for age differences. I definitely believe anything more than fifteen years is too much.

I have no problem with an age difference as long as the couple has a lot in common.

I am split in my opinion of this. In one way I don't feel that age should make a difference, but on the other hand I think when you hit the 15- 20 yr difference mark, I think that is too much. Especially if this couple is planning a family. Its unfair for a child to have an elderly parent that will not be apart of their lives like a younger one would. But hey, that's only my opinion!

I think the Andrea's agree again. I feel the same way about it, especially where kids are concerned.
