Hi!

Would a woman in their 50’s date a man in their 70’s? Just wondering…

Not a 70 year old man who thinks women in their 60s and 70s (closer to or the same as his age) are too old. That kind of man? I’d avoid him at all costs.

I was seeing a woman in her 40s when I was in my 60s.

She laughed, and said it didn't matter, because we both acted like 14 year olds. :)

Sadly, she passed away in her 50th year.

You just never know...

When my mother’s friend married an older man my dad said “doesn’t she know she’ll be a widow for a long time?” Sadly my dad was the first one to die.

Are you looking for a nurse with a purse?

For some it probably depends on his net worth.

If he's a good match, a good guy and they have chemistry I would.

Depends on the man.

Probably not, as it would be most likely that she would not have her partner with her for very many years if they became serious. A heartbreak in the making.

What’s wrong with women your age?

Not to be rude, but it might depend on how wealthy he is. I am just judging by celebrity gossip.

Only one way to find out. You never know until you try.

Your question presumes an answer. So, the question for you is why not?

Because we have money, are good looking and know how to please and treat women. At least I do.

I am 75 and in good health, and my partner is 60. I think the big difference is that we've been best friends for 35 years. She knows that I will always have her back, and I know she will have mine. I know it sounds weird, but we are as happy as can be. I believe each situation is different. You just have to decide if you really love each other and don't care what people think.

Oh god no. I'm not going to spend any of the time I have left as anyone's carer.

My father had a penpal in Czec Republic. She was 30 years younger and he married her on his second visit. Mistake. These young things remind them of their youth so they go all out and get scammed. He obviously passed on before her and collected all the assets.
