Hi, all these thirty something’s with your stereotype of older men should keep within the safety of their own age group. The guys who want life to be good might look elsewhere for what they want, good boys or bad boys.

It never fails to amaze where people can find the love that they want. Having a job that allows working with people’s feelings is so amazing in discovery and such a privilege.

I would guess this was written by someone aged 30 something with little or no understanding of the “older man” – putting people in boxes is dangerous – should I choose to I can party, debate, discuss, share life experiences with any age brackets.

LOVEMAKING is a mutual harmony of 2 people who care little about apparent differences and who are caught in the recognition of each others gaze of awe and attraction.Honestly putting prejudices to the side,and accepting the other for who rather than what their roles are,is an immense component to my ideas on `relationship`.90% fit physically+respect and gentleness=bliss!

i agree with Joe and Martin… I got older kids and they live close and have there own lives. we get together when it is usually planned out…. and the pension…jeez…older guys, like me , 50 has pretty good stamina, it comes from lifestyle changes…staying out late , even the young ones get tired..being older , you pace yourself better…just sayin!

I’m with Joe on this, and worries about an older man needing to focus on his kids are also wide of the mark – chances are the kids will be old enough to look after themselves.

With the right partner, I for one would be delighted to start another family – and this time I’ll have all the experience and patience (and cash) I didn’t have the first time around!

It’s comments like the following that demonstrate how the writers of these ‘articles’ slip into outdated shallow stereotypes at the drop of a (trilby) hat:

“While you want to go on a last minute trip to Thailand, he might prefer to put the money into his pension”

At 37 I can afford a “last minute trip” just about anywhere, at 25 my g/f can’t afford a last minute trip to KFC.

Pension schmension.

Mary – point being this article is specificaly about younger women dating older men, see the opposite of this elshere on the site!

Also not all men are out to grass at 40. Or in other words men can be like Madona as well…..

At the end of the day do whats right for you!

These comments assume that all older men are looking exclusively for much younger partners. Are there any older men out there who would prefer the company of ladies in their own age bracket?!
