my friend 38 has a husband who is 27

[zzxxee]

they have been a couple for 5 years and have a 3 year ols son

what is your opinion on women dating younger men ?? i personally dont see a problem but she has been called a cradle snatcher the lot its not as if he is 17

[Bbbananas]

Exactly - he's not 17 or a ridiculously young age. I see nothing wrong with that particular age difference.

[bobjugs12]

If they're happy, who gives a monkeys what other say.
Age shouldn't matter, it should be about compatibility

[ummmm]

Look at Carol McGiffin (sp)

As long as people are happy I couldn't give two hoots....

Saying that....I wouldn't give two hoots if they were unhappy either...

[redman41]

If they are happy zzxxee best of luck to them.

[zzxxee]

i have been with my chap 6 years hes 3 years older than me but an ex was 7 years younger its all about chemestry and meeting of minds attraction ect

it makes me mad if it was a 38 year old bloke and a 27 year old woman nobody would say anything !!! but because its a woman its wrong

[cazzz1975]

if they are into each other and not hurting anyone then why not..

[Androcles]

It's great being a toyboy!

[zzxxee]

are you a toyboy then andro? whats the age difference?

[ethandron]

i think in the past it's not been thought of as right, but these days i don't think many people give it a second thought. it's no-ones business anyway, happiness is a rare commodity and anyone who finds it should be congratulated.

[bobjugs12]

If there happy, then good on them

[Davethedog]

I don't understand the sigma with the age thing as long as it isn't verging on the illegal.

The only things I would say is parents over 50 no you could be dead before your child leaves school.

20- 30 year age gaps while the young one wants to boogie the old one will be sleeping not a good mix and not conducent to a secure marriage.

Apart from that fill you boots.

[zzxxee]

and they are blissfully x

[redman41]

Anna Nicole Smith springs to mind when she married that Billionaire 60 Yrs older than her. He only lasted 12 months, but must have died with a smile on his face ! LOL

[ummmm]

ethandron....I will congratulate myself :-)

I've got a toyboy....but only by 11 months....does that count?

[zzxxee]

well a 60 year age gap thats a bit different lol

[cherrychapstick]

i had an ex who was 9 years younger we got on great together and still friends now we went out for about a year and got engaged,but his family got in the way a bit when we had little arguments it was i told you so ,but my family were ok with him ....it was my choice x

[bobjugs12]

So then, a show of hands from the ladies.
Hypothetically peaking, who would or wouldn't want a toyboy, and what sort of ages would you go down to?

[ummmm]

I haven't really given it much thought. Not too young....

[zzxxee]

well im 37 i would say a ten year difference would be ok
