I have to admit we are a strange looking couple.
b-boy congrats 27years that's awesome you started dating her when she was 8? To make her 35 today.
She was 19, I was 23.
Only woman I've been with, almost the only woman I've dated.
Been married for 23 years.
The secret to a happy marriage? Not giving in to all the ladies who only want me for my body.
Dating younger women is for younger men.
/lesson learned
Had I dated my wife when I was 20 I'd probably just now be getting out of prison as she's 10 years younger than I. In my 30s it's perfect because I'm married to a girl that's as young as what my unmarried friends are chasing and younger that most of my married friends wives. Move forward to my mid 40s and the kids are pre-teen and I'm starting to get back some of that attention I've been missing. Perfect timing because now she's in her prime. Now I'm in my mid 50s. My friends that had wives are now mostly divorced and chasing women my wife's age or even younger . The friends that weren't married are married to women still older than my wife, and me, I'll still have someone who's young enough in her years to hunt down my dentures when I misplace them, wipe my drool and change my diapers.
One thing I can say for certain:
When you're 21, and your girlfriend is 16... neither your parents nor your girlfriend's parents are very happy about it.
Now when you're 40 and want to date a 35-year old, funny how it doesn't matter anymore. But it's too bad she no longer looks the same as she did when she was 16.... (not to mention your own beer belly.....)
One of the co-ops at the office told me she thought it would be amusing to see me "spitting game" (she's 20, hence use of the phrase "spitting game"). Yeah, no. I don't know what I'd do if I found myself trying to date again, especially that age group.
I'll tell you, I had no "game" when I met my wife...
Oddly enough, I think if I had to go into the dating pool now, I'd do much better. I have much more confidence now that I have the perspective where I don't really give a crap.
No, I know what you mean. I feel far more confident than back then as well. I just can't decide if that confidence is due to age and wisdom, or just the fact that I have nothing on the line in my present situation (since I'm not actively trying to bring any women home with me).
I was having a conversation with a buddy the other night about dating young women. (We have a buddy that continually dates young women, sometimes a difference of 10-12 years!)
So the question at hand, how young is too young for you? What's the biggest gap in age in a relationship that you've had?
So trading her in for two 23 year olds isn't recommended, eh?
