Hey, I’m no psychologist – just your friendly, neighborhood dating coach. Whether we like it or not, there is nearly a full generation gap between 28 and 45.
But I do know women, and lots of women in their 20’s. A few women may bridge this gap for lust or money or dimestore psychological reasons, but most of the 28-year-old women I know would prefer to date a great, stable 30-40 year-old – who also knows what Snapchat is. But don’t forget, you and your younger girlfriends are the EXCEPTION. When I was in my late 30’s I became involved with someone 15 yrs. The age difference did not seem especially significant during the 5 yrs we were together.
I'm 33, Megan is 37, and the majority of the guests who were not relatives of the bride or groom fell somewhere squarely in between.
Recently recovering from a relationship with a 65-year-old celebrity plastic surgeon in Los Angeles, Megan arrived to the wedding weekend licking her wounds, only to immediately be courted by the 72-year old uncle of the groom. Uncle Jack was away somewhere in France, but the mother of the groom put the kibosh on the whole thing.
But you probably haven’t been looking for them for a variety of reasons.
If that sounds too old, remember that in 10 years you will be in that age group and your honey will only be in her late 40s.
Harrison Ford being an exception for me as well though, I have to say. But I do know women, and lots of women in their 20’s. A few women may bridge this gap for lust or money or dimestore psychological reasons, but most of the 28-year-old women I know would prefer to date a great, stable 30-40 year-old – who also knows what Snapchat is. But don’t forget, you and your younger girlfriends are the EXCEPTION. Genetically speaking, older men tend to chase younger women due to them being able to have children.And the truth is that most of them are completely creeped out at the prospect of dating a guy who was alive when JFK was alive. Younger women tend to like older men due to them being able to provide better for them. Q: I’m 63 years old and have been divorced for 19 years.I have met several women over the years, some were very special relationships but never lasted.
