Personally, I found such an age gap w/ an older man to be too much (& get too lame) for me, but everybody's different.

You have the amount of kids you want (maybe?), and you are happy with him and he loves you (and your kids?). Why not?

Age is mostly irrelevant and should come from what you believe in.

The man can still have kids if they decide they want more. He's 41, not dead.

You asked if 40 years old was too old, then didn't give a "NO" for an possible answer.

I don't think the age difference is that much of a big deal. My Man is older than I am. I don't think he's "too old" most of the time.

But, do you think by not even including a "no, he's not too old for you." in your responses, you answered your own question for YOU?

slso a no vote. age IS a number and there are so many other things to condider. I met my current wife when she was 19 and I was 35 and we have been very happily married for over 31 years now. It is all a gamble to some extent, age shouldn't necessarily be a barrier, or a deal breaker.

It's not too old, as long as he treats you& your children right! (:

you didn't have an option for 'no!' sounds like YOU think it's too old then. if it's too old for you, it's too old for you. but if you really like him... get over the age difference! if he's hot and you hit it off, then there ya go. anyway it's only 14 years difference. that's not that much.




enjoy it!

That is not that big an age difference. but if YOU say the word LONG SHOT, then it IS big to you, and so it is probably NOT right (for you).

I am 28 and my husband is about 20 years older than me and it is working out just fine. I would say it is not the age itself, but the level of maturity (both you and he) and the degree of committment.

certainly it is not too old legally, but consider the future. Were you to be together for the rest of your lives (jumping ahead, I know) he'd be 76 when you would be 60. age gaps aren't an issue during the middle of human life, 25-50, but during the beginning, around 18 or under, and the end, 51+ it can cause difficulties. Especially if he were to develop Alzheimer's early, around 65 or so, leaving you to take care of him at the still young age of 49.

It wouldn't bother me at all. I prefer anyone I am with to be older than I am.

oops. i voted yes but i meant 'no' its not too old. i meant yes go for it, if you really like him. once you're over 24 or so, if the age gap isnt over like 20 years i dont see the problem.

I don't think it's too old at all! You're a responsible adult and if you care for the other person, you should go for it. <3 Don't let age be the determining factor!

I agree with 'MidnightStorm' ; and others that a NO choice was not offered. The guy could be RICH you know; would you pass that up? If you did have strong feeling for him I see nothing wrong.

Turn the question around; what if a older woman met a younger man. Would there be any difference?

Though, it's an interesting insight I've gained lately. Sixteen year olds are too young to ... more
Pretty much, this ^

Not necessarily. It's up to the specific situation whether things will work or not. I have a 12 year age gap with my boyfriend, and so far nothing's been weird! If you like him, give things a shot

If there is no 'no' - how can we respond properly to your threads.
Agree!!

i don't think age matters. i think that a lot of people break up because they feel they are too different from their partners. having a wider age gap might amplify the differences, so just make sure you and your guy have a few things that you both enjoy doing together so you'll always have some common ground.
