I guess this dating younger men only works when you are older! LOL

I don't know... I almost married a guy who was 14 years older than me (thankfully, I didn't, and ended a 5 year relationship just in time!). I also dated a guy who was 14 years younger than me. THAT was a bit of a fiasco... he was 24, and still needed to learn about being responsible. After the initial thrill wore off, I felt like mom. I think almost 20 years is kind of a lot. I mean, that's a whole different generation, yes?

But... If Jeff is happy, I'm all for it. Sounds a bit eeky to me but whatever. If they are happy, go for it!

Well he's lived and she's just starting to live. Eh who knows, may last months, may last years not for me to question or try to understand.

When I was 18-21 years old, I dated women 27-31 years old. It was incredible fun and a huge learning experience. I'm now 35 and my current girlfriend is 22. I feel comfortable and at home around her, and the age difference never comes up. I feel like the things I learned about myself and about women when I was younger made me much more open and understanding when it comes to relationships now. So from my perspective, the age difference is nil. If they're happy, then they've got one up on most people in this world...

Hey my SO is 18 years my senior ... and after 35 years, I'd say that the age difference hasn't been an issue.

My parents were 15 years apart in age and it seems normal to me. I am older than my husband as well. He loves to say he married an older woman and often. I am freaking 10 months older than he is.

I think Jeff's reference to his relationship as a love affair is very odd.

Spy, that is funny but I don't find it surprizing. We all tend to be drawn to same things repeatedly both good and bad.

My sister has an old copy of an US magazine or that magazine that costs $1.99. (august issue) In it they previewed the Survivor show and the contestants. Even before the show started, Julie quoted that she has always had a crush on Jeff and wouldn't mind an island romance.

still say the 'almost 20 years' is too much...JMO, of course. at age 23, i dated a man who was 41 and it was too much difference. he looked young and acted young, but it was just too different in the years of maturity**, and historical events, and all kinds of things that mattered to me. it was also strange to come out of a motel and pass his son and his son's girlfriend going in! eeeeeek! to this day, i think it was merely a notch in his belt that he had a much younger girlfriend...

**maybe he ended up growing up...i don't know LOL

I'm "seeing" a man who is 18 years my junior. I just turned 50 this year, and he is 32. We have been in a committed relationship for the past year and few months.

At first, I was a bit creeped out by this youngster who "wanted to get to know me better" and resisted. But in the end I discovered age is only a number, and our similarities way out weigh our differences. I am so glad I gave him a chance and got to know him.

We have our disagreements, as do all couples, most of which seems (at least to me) to stem from our different cultural perspectives. But his maturity level is such that we are able to work though everything so far. I don't know how long or how much further this relationship will last, but to me that doesn't matter. We are having the time of our lives and enjoying every minute.

I don't think "right or wrong" has anything to do with an age difference, but has everything to do with the two people involved. I definitely believe both parties have to have an additional level of maturity and unbiased openess in order to deal with some of the speical issues that arise when their relationship goes public.

JMHO based on my current situation.
