Why are young woman constantly criticized for dating older men?
by admin on Saturday, January 22nd, 2011 | 8 Comments
I’m with someone who is 17years older than me(I’m 20) and I’m constantly being criticized, from people calling me a “gold digger” to practically starring when we are out together-I get it from both men and women.
*Personally I feel there are much more shocking things now a days then two people dating who happen to have an age difference, so what gives??

If you like the guy, don’t worry about it.
I’m 14 years older than my wife. We have been together 5 years.
criticism over things like that is usualy a sign of jealousy. Sure goldigging happens when one partner is much younger than the other, but it also happens when they are in the same age bracket. Enjoy your relationship. Take care.
because it just does not match i always go for older men because they can take me to better places. they are more financially secure but because of my young age they get to be boring so i keep a younger guy on the side for when i want to have some real fun
Did baby dig. As long as you are Adults and happy, ignore others opinions.
Well all I can say for older men is thank god for them! My little husband is 16 yrs older than me. He is the sweetest man in the world.we have been married 15 yrs and Ilove him dearlyI
Yeah seriously what’s their trip? If you’re both consenting adults then why the heck should other people think that they have the right to tell you that you’re to young/old for one another, it’s *your lives* not theirs! People seem to get a lot more flustered when a 17 year old guy dates a 19 year old girl tho for some strange reason. Some people are just really judgmental.
Also samiwami5 wtf? Geez if you’re going to do that you ought to at least let your lover know that you’re playing the field instead of keeping silent and playing with his heart.
If the two of you really like and respect each other, then enjoy each other’s company. Most of the negativity comes from jealousy:
*What if you were really curvy (“Oh, he’s only dating her because …”)?
*What if you/he were more attractive than the other (“He/She could’ve done SO much better …”)?
People will always talk, so, again, just enjoy each other’s company.
BTW:
*I was married to a much younger woman (16 yrs.) for 13 yrs. before she bailed on the kids and me:
*It was mostly her family’s interference, since, once she remarried, her dad moved out of state, and the rest of her family have become “hands off” with the whole thing.
*As for dating younger women, I genuinely prefer the company of younger women, because:
**Most women my age are on some sort of health-related medication.
**Most women who are 10-15 yrs. younger than me tend to have some sort of health/emotional issues and normally can’t keep up with me (or my interests)(…sorry, but it’s true …).
Oh well, war is hell …
Happy New Year

I went through the same experience when I was
20 years old,he was 46 and we paid dearly for
being attracted to each other.I couldn’t understand
what the big deal was then but I do now.I understand it but I don’t agree with it—that an attractive young woman couldn’t possibly be physically
attracted to a man sooo much older,there must be
an ulterior motive.An older man could only want a
sexual and controlling relationship with a much younger
woman.She couldn’t possibly be on equal status with him.
Those are the mind-sets about those kind of relationships.I
don’t think it matters much when it’s two mature-minded
people with some experience under their belts.
***But you must accept it as part of your relationship.
Every relationship has to deal with something.One of my
sisters married outside of her race and they have special issues
that they must deal with but through much Love and Commitment
they handle what comes at them.
***You two are the only ones who know what your true motives are in
in your relationship sooo just learn to deal with ‘the dumb stuff.’
Good Luck!
