What I think of women who are dating/married to younger men

[Eureka1088]

i dont think age matters. it all depends on your chemistry, compatibility and love for each other. if you are both happy then go for it!

What do I think of women who are dating younger men?
I think they're fabulous  

They're strong and stable. They know themselves wholly. They are not dissuaded by societal expectations or "norms." They know who they are, what they want and they go for it. Inhibitions and insecurities are a thing of the past to them (ohhh that's so a 20something thing).

And these men who are with them, accept them for who they are and are not looking to replace them with younger models (much to the dismay of those who look down upon these type of relationships *ahem* earlier posts)  . Why would they trade down for a skinny, young, bumbling, fumbling around thing when they can have the one who's experienced, wise and can handle themselves in every aspect of their lives, not to mention the bedroom  ?

I don't see anything wrong with it. I have a sister who used to date younger men din, the farthest age gap being 7 years younger than her (putting him in the same age as myself). I've seen her happier with them than with partners na her same age, pero ang mahirap kasi pag magkaiba ang priorities nila sa buhay.  That could happen with being in a relationship being of the same age or kung older yung guy, pero mas madalas sya mangyari 'pag younger yung guy.  To be with an older woman, na more accomplished and independent, a guy has to up his game.  Yun din ang maganda dun, which is another reason why I think men now are looking for older women, kasi less insecurity issues.

my ex was 27. pinoy. very immature.

now my boyfriend is 27. european. very mature.

wala sa age. nasa pagpapalaki lang siguro.

[luisacart]

i dated a guy who was 3 years younger than me. and i almost dated another guy who is 6 years younger than me (fresh out of high school!) kaso nalaman ko na nakipagbugbugan sya sa school! kaya ndi natuloy. in fairness, i also dated a guy who was 30 years older than me. Oha! talaga hindi ako ageist. lol

i don't see anything wrong with the age gap. i agree with sis snikity. ang maturity level ng tao ay wala sa edad. basta pareho kayo ng pananaw sa buhay. saka pareho kau ng goals

[hannabishi]

I think older women who date younger men are COUGARS and there's nothing wrong with that. As they say, live and let live.

anyhow, to answer the question, what i think of these women (myself, included) ?? i think we are very brave in taking the risk of being in a non-traditional relationship. We are enjoying life by fully expressing how we feel regardless of what others may say.. and we are "fabulous" for attracting these young guys and beating all the other young girls! 

I'm dating a guy whose 7 years younger and we get along well with each other. We're happy and never had a dull moment together. I guess hindi naman dapat maging issue ang age. may naging bf ako, 3 years older sakin pero alagain!

although sometimes nai-insecure ako pag may mga girls na umaaligid sa kanya na mas bata... hehe! pero ika nga ni sis topone, "faboulous" kami kasi kami ang pinili hehe! I feel better now!

[amber_81]

don't know why its such an issue
men date/marry girls young enough to be their daughters so why shouldn't women be able to do the same?

very well said sis!

[summersong]

Sa akin astig sila.

Lalo na sa harap ng mga culturally constipated. lol.

I won't mind being labelled puma or cougar or any type of cat hahaha as long as I'm happy with the person I'm with, and he with me.

Maturity is not synonymous with age. Older nga, pero ang insights parang 10-year old. I'd rather go with the younger guy who's more open-minded and more mature in thinking. 

[boracay2862]

Me I don't mind! My bf is younger then me and it's been three years were on and were happy! What counts is mag kasundo kayo hinde yung age. Age is just numbers it's the chemistry, and the meetings of the mind.

[Tranquility]

here in Au, they are called cougars. not sure if they show this tv show called Cougar Town that stars Courtney Cox there in Phils, its hilarious.

i don't have any issues with it, as long as both parties are happy. well if i was ashton kutcher, i'd be really happy having demi moore as my partner, she's so hot!

[cerulean]

It doesn't really matter. It's no different from dating someone your own age. All that matters is that the guy is mature enough for the girl.

[vangie88]

as they say, age is really just a number. it's all about compatibility, maturity, love and respect for each other. i know a lot of couples of the same age bracket (married and not married), who ended up in separate ways bec of so many things na hindi nila mapagkasunduan and, on the other hand, i also know couples with big age gaps (10-25 yrs, yung iba girl yung older, yung iba guy yung older) and they're just perfect for each other and very successful yung relationship and married life nila.  as long as they really love each other and they're happy, then go lang 

[icegayle]

My boyfriend is 7yrs younger than me. We are happy and inlove with each other. Compatible in everything. I think its more on the understanding and how you complement each other. We just celebrated our 13th month yesterday.

[avesoriano]

i used to think otherwise, but right now im infatuated with that korean actor lee min ho... after googling i found out that he is 7 years my junior.

i can loudly say what the heck. i will marry him any day!

[cosmochick]

I used to date a guy 7 years younger than me. I was 28 and he was 21 that time. I never took him seriously though he really wanted me to be his girlfriend. LOL I was looking for a stable guy kasi eh sya, kaka graduate pa lang ng nursing. No work pa, asa sa allowance from rich parents. So no way, he's cute though. Chinese mestizo.

I stopped dating him when I found out later on that he is the younger brother of my former colleague who is also a good friend. Sabihin pa nya,wala akong patawad, pati brother nya, pinatos ko..hehe=)

[cheekypop]

If they are happy, then there is nothing with dating someone younger.  It's very common now adays.

[ashleycole]

first time ko lang that im dating with 6 years younger than me  in fairness ok lang pala, sarap din syang kausap at parang mas mature pa sya kesa sa kin 

[jaded1025]

My bestfriend's bf is 4 years youngers than her. Mas mature pa daw sakanya because maaga nagwork and maaga naexpose sa hirap ng buhay. Though nainsecure minsan bf nya sakanya dahil registered nurse sya sa US and si bf is HS grad only, pero maganda ang work. Di kasi priority ng parents na pag-aralin sya.

[lunast]

i'm older than my boyfriend.. pero almost 1 year lang--14 months to be exact.
