Just imagine when he's 34 and still in his prime because remember guys age more gracefully than women and she'll be approaching 50 by that time.
at the thought of his fat yellow hand just like daddeh's fingering that old grandma pussy
My son is 24 and he starting dating a woman who's 35. She looks young but it seems to me there's an age gap there than could cause some communication issues or even expectation issues down the road.
If he was 40 and she was 50, not a big deal I suppose, but 10 years to a 24 year old is a lot of time.
I haven't said anything about it, but he asked me about it tonight and I've been giving it some thought.
Is a 10 year gap too much at that age or is it just about chemistry? He's not ready for kids yet, but I am afraid she might be a biological time bomb and he might get pulled in since she doesn't have kids.

stop being a pussy if you were 24 and had a chance to an older broad who was probably beat up by her ex husband with two kids you would her as well
It's 11 years (for an accounting major, your counting sucks) not 16. So when he's 34 she would be 45, not "approaching 50".
It's not so much about when they are 10 years older, but the next few years.
I've dated older and younger women, but never more than 8 years either way. I know some people who have married people more than 10 years apart in age, and it seems one of them gets to the "settled" stage and the other is still looking for something.
You don't read worth a .
She has no kids and has never been married (so she says).
He asked me for a reason. I told him I would think about it and talk to him tomorrow.
A woman that's 35 and has never been married and has never had a kid has been passed up by many guys for a reason. A keeper wouldn't of lasted that long.
Who cares, don't block your son. If that's what he wants, let him have it. You worried about what he thinks or what you think?

We aren't talking about just having sex. We are talking about a relationship. How old is too old?
age gaps are only weird when you're 10 and your girlfriend is 21, works different after grade school. sure she was in middle school when your boy was in diapers but that seems to be the norm these days. embrace it, she may well be your daugher in law someday very soon.

I wouldn't worry about it. Eleven years isn't THAT big a deal. As you said, there may be some differences. But that's for them to work out... and if they can't, that doesn't mean it wasn't worth a shot. He's young, he has nothing to worry about. She's the one that should be worrying, because 20-year-olds usually aren't looking to settle down.
I thought this thread was going to be DMC asking if he was too old to spend every waking moment on ST, and I was going to tell him yes.
35 works for me!
Too old for him---for a relationship....
I would tell him straight up that he is asking for trouble...if not now then in the future...she is going to get dumped eventually...a 24 yo will change a few times and as soon as he realizes that there are better matches for him to start a family, grow old with,etc....he will dump her and probably end up paying child support to this older woman...
At 24 I would advise him to worry about education and only bang young bimbos until he is 30-35....
My sister married a man 10 years older than her and they've been married for over 20 years now. Never really thought much about the age gap.
I'm 34 and have been dating a 22 year old for 6 months. I went back and forth on it for 4 months before I asked her out, but decided it and did it. She knows as much or more about beer than I do, which is pretty ing awesome.
Something about these 20-something guys going after the 30-something women.
I would just think that it is likely that she is interested in one thing and he in another, but I obviously know neither of them. A 35-year-old, never married woman could surely be looking for a husband. Is he just dating her and having fun or is it getting serious really quickly? That would be my red flag if she is pushing things forward at a rapid pace.
Tell him it's none of your business and he can do whatever he wants. What you think won't make a difference.
i know whom your referring to, D
Nature treats the genders unequally and that impacts relations. An older male and younger female can easilly produce and raise children so age difference is not that big of a deal. That is not true in reverse. Older female with young male is less common and more likelly to fail. Its ok for the son and her to hit it but long term is most likely a mistake.
It may not work for everyone but I was twenty five and my wife was 33 when I married her (30+ years ago)
Sounds like you guys have a solid foundation to build a life together on...
Times have changed - not all women feel the need to marry and/or have kids anymore. Odds are this is a fling for her, not a long-term relationship. She's found a man who can give her what she wants in the bedroom and she's keeping him around until one of them tires of the other. At that point she'll find somebody her own age to settle with or move on to the next young'un. Or who knows; maybe they'll discover they'll want to stay together for the long haul. Don't worry too much - things usually have a way of working themselves out.

He is old enough to make his own decisions.
Not so anymore. People are delaying marriage.
I can't believe anyone has pointed this out: if he is asking you what you think about the age difference, it is likely because HE has a bit of a problem with it and is hoping someone tells him that it is not (reassurance). I really believe that this is what you should be exploring (what is his problem with it and can it be overcome). As to your question, if I am wrong about what I wrote prior, then age isn't that big of a deal. If they go together well, then that is really what matters.
I'm not really into divulging all the details of our relationship here in the forum, but for her to know as much as she does about beer at 22 is pretty impressive imo. At her age I was a total mess - chugging Shiner Bock, smoking ty dirt weed, and hating my dad for cheating on my mom.
