Is this wrong? A 46 yr. old with a 22 yr old?

Question

So, does age matter? A 46 yr. old with a 22 yr. old? Is it wrong? Should it matter if they are happy?

or even if they aren't happy?

And if you think it's wrong, who's in the wrong?

Answer 1

That seems to be happening more and more with older men and younger women.  I don't think it ever lasts or is true love, except on rare occasions.  Usually the woman feeds the mans ego by having a young, pretty girlfriend, and the woman is there for the money and what it brings.

Answer 2

WHAT IS YOUR AIM IN LIFE?

It can be one of three:

1. to get married and settle down...

2. to live life day by day...

3. to profit yourself from your situations...

to get married to this guy would leave you a young widow and a torn youth due to the extensive age gap (believe me he could be your father)

living with him by your side and "waiting to see what happens" would just be wasting your time (and his) - remember, as you get older, it gets harder to find the right partner and get what you really want from life...

if you want to take him to get his money - its at your own risk but you would still be wasting your time to wait till he passes on...

i do not think you could ever reach real love with this age discrepancy...

anyway, what are his intentions/future aims of this relationship?

Answer 3

wow he's lucky. Girls like matured and expericenced men. You should be happy for him!

Answer 4

SOME TIMES AGE REALLY MATTERS!

IT CAN BE YOUR SON AND THINK ABOUT THE FUTURE! DON'T JUST THINK ABOUT THE PRESENT MOMENT OF JOY AND FUN!

SERIOUSLY THINK ABOUT IT!  JUST TRY AT LEAST SOME ONE 5-7 YEAR LESS THAN YOU!

-LUCK!

Answer 5

i personally think that is too much of an age gap... and weird...

you are not at the same stage in your lives.. also the older one is prob. just using the younger one (for s*x or whatever) but the younger one to to young and stilly to know that this is happening to them until it is too late.

Answer 6

way too much of an age diffrence, but it is up to the 2 people who are dating eachother not us =[

Answer 7

the closer i get to 46, the more i approve.

Answer 8

well....to me..no..there is nothing wrong with this...for both are of legal age..past 18, that is...however they both must be mature enough and be aware that there always gonna be people raising their eyebrows at them..and stuff like that ..or mentioning this and that as flaws..etc.

but if both are ..and keep mature and willing to deal with all these

comments I say green light all the way.

Answer 9

it matters. the 46 year old man will die at 72, and the single old lady would of wasted her life.

Answer 10

i thinks its a bit wrong because like maturity wise you know it could cause a lot of arguments because of the huge gap. but that all doesnt matter if u believe that you could spend the rest of your life with this person.  

Answer 11

Well I don't think it's wrong. But I think that the 46 year old has seen the world much mre but if they are happy then they should be together.

Answer 12

Very non specific question.  I'm not sure it's answerable without more details.

Man and woman?

Rich or poor?

g*y or Straight?

Trophy or Genuine?

Too many factors involved......

Answer 13

Nope don't have a problem with that really. Not if the couple don't. Yes the age difference is great but at that age they should both be able to know their own minds.

Answer 14

GET YOUR LIFE TOGETHER.

Answer 15

just think how the relation will be after 20 years.

Answer 16

Legally speaking, there's nothing wrong with them.

But to be honest... thats kinda gross in my morality scale.

Answer 17

hey man there isn't anything wrong with that at all. love has no age, and anybody who thinks it does is fed up. I remember when i was a senior in college i dated an 8th grader. we were in love and it didn't matter what age we were.

Answer 18

It's amazing the range of answers you get with this kind of question. Mostly, I bet, it's the younger ones that don't understand or approve. I was 43 and dated a 20 year old for a while. We had a lot of fun. Eventually we drifted apart, but it was great for both of us while it lasted.

Answer 19

Love knows not age,, However you do  There are a lot of things to consider in this situation, The s*x drive,,, a man reaches his peak at 18 levels out until 25, then starts to decrease ,, a women actually peaks at the age of 30 and levels out until 45 then decreases,, Where's the justice in this is, I don't know,, Another thing to consider,  even though he loves you he will start to traet you more like a daughter then his wife,, He will think that he must teach you everything and become very critical of evrything that you do  because he is older he knows more then you (so he thinks)    Seen this a few times and it always ends up the same way,,  

Answer 20

In theory, in an ideal happy, mutually in love situation, there's absolutely nothing wrong with the age gap. However, experience has shown me that this is rarely the case. Too often one is taking advantage of the other, and it can be difficult to identify.

Answer 21

if they are in love then that is fine. If they are just having a one night stand then YES IT IS.

I know a women whos 24 living with a 60 years old. Shes doing it because shes poor.

Answer 22

There is nothing wrong with 46 & 22 only that the maturity level is a bit off balanced. However, if you both are happy then more power to you. Is your boyfriend married? If he is,  then your nothing but his "Brag Girl" and he's using you. Now you take it from there. Good luck.

Answer 23

In today's modern world more and more men and women with fairly large almost double age gaps are coupling. It is more frequent with young women that are maturer than their actual age. Age is nothing but a number, although some may gawk at the age gap, what makes you feel happy? It is your life and no one else's business. Your parents may not agree, but then again they can be assured that their daughter has a mature man that should be able to support their daughter.

Answer 24

not wrong at all, its between 2 consenting adults. totally harmless.

Answer 25

It shouldn't matter but it does to many - usually people who need to get their own life.  The only important opinions are yours and his.There is nearly twenty years between my partner and I, I'm in my late 30's but look younger which doesn't help.  I've been called a gold-digger (I have more money than him) and he's been called a sleaze.  We're happy and we've learnt to ignore it.  If you suspect he is using you have a think about why that is, but don't ignore it.  My partner is proud of me but I am not his trophy.  Get used to strange looks when you're out together but as long as you're happy who really gives a d**n

Answer 26

When I was 46 and single, I had a woman younger than that.  Mmmm-mmm!  My goodness, that was sweet while it lasted.  Yes, I was loaded - but it turns out she wasn't all that interested in my money.  She dumped me after two years and just disappeared. Who can figure these teenagers?

Answer 27

it's gonna be rough.  but wrong?  the 22yo isnt a child  

Answer 28

Let me speak from my own experience I was married to a man who was 43 and I was 22.  Age was not a factor for us BUT let me tell you that It did not work.  First off this man being 43 had been married 4 times before me and he was a user and did not value me.  He only wanted me because I was young and not damaged goods like himself...  IF you TWO are in LOVE GO FOR IT....  BUT check his track record... If he has had many marriages then remember that HE is a common factor in each of them.
