absolutely not. Age is way more than a number; it's the number of years you've been alive on this planet. And I think that must mean something. But does it mean enough to stop me from dating an older man? For some strange reason, Ashley and I are constantly hit on by older men. I recently met one that I actually might kind of like. The problem? He's almost 11 years older than me. So what, you might say. So, I say, what the hell is wrong with him that he's still single? Harsh, I know, but really? You're hot, have a great sense of humor, seem to have some serious dough and a beautiful apartment. Clearly something must be off for you to be 36 and single. And just how long is it going to take for me to find that something out?
Because it is a belief of mine that lists solve everything, I've been forced to come up with a list of pros and cons to dating older men and I will now present them to you:
Why older men can potentially rock my world:
- They're over a lot of the issues 20-something guys seem to have (20-something boys are all so confused and lost)
- They have a stable job and money (hey, it doesn't hurt)
- They're over the partying lifestyle but still know how to have a good time (hopefully)
- They know what they're looking for in a relationship
- They're ready to settle down (also, see below)
Why I should stay far, far away from older men:
- They're ready to settle down (also, see above)
- There must be a reason they're still single
- They're probably afraid of commitment and have way too much experience being smooth
- They will age a lot faster than you and may slow down far before you're ready
- They grew up in a different generation and there way be too much of a gap. Can I really date someone who doesn't know what it's like to be a child of the 80s??
Because I'm about 98% sure there is something wrong with him. But until then, I'll just enjoy his hotness.

Sisterfriend, When was the last time you were going on dates with someone you thought was crazy-hot, smart and going somewhere? Or THERE for that matter? Are you aware of the age diff when you’re with him or only when you’re alone with time to stew? I think he sounds great, I think you’re older than 25 and he’s probably younger than 36 and you’ll meet in the middle. It may have just taken him awhile to bloom!
It is quite exciting nonetheless, yes?
i am 26, and my bf is 37, 38 this year.
its scary. he has a daughter. way scary.
he was in college the decade i was born. legit creepy.
ohwell. i love him and thats all that matters. its funny that i landed here (and am from boston) gooling dating an older man with a child or something like that.
