As most know, my wife left me back in January. Been single, realizing that all women now are bat-shit crazy, still pretty lonely.

Heres where I need the advice. I have a woman interested in me. We havn't been out on a date yet, but hang out all the time as we go to the same places, known her for about 8 months now.

She's cool, pretty damn hot, knows how to have fun.

Here be the dilema. She is older than me, and I've never dated anyone older than me. But she's not just older than me.. she's a LOT older than me. I don't want to get into specifics, just say.. she is a LOT older than me. I'm 26, almost 27.

I really dunno how the hell to peruse this one, now if she wanted some sex, I would be HAPPY to give it to her (like I said, she's hot.. and I just found out she used to be a playmate.. the pic with her and Ric James is amazing)

But she was mentioning to one of my friends about wanting to date me. She's really cool, very attractive, but if I brought home someone her age, I'm pretty sure my mother would shit a chicken.

HELP ME MIGHTY GURUS!

It doesn't sound like you're wanting a relationship...just companionship.

If she's in the same boat, pursue a sex-only relationship. Be warned though, those are very hard for women as they get very emotionally attached to sexual partners. If she's at all interested in you as a relationship then a sexual relationship will only attach her further to you.

Now, if you wouldn't mind a relationship with her then by all means explore it and see where it goes. If nothing else you'll learn a lot from a woman like that and you'll get the companionship you're seeking now.

The thing is, I do want a relationship, I miss all the aspects of my old boring married life very VERY much.

I just don't know if a relationship is a good idea with this specific woman.

good possibility of the rebound, but I've already had a few of those.

If the age difference bothers you now, I suspect it always will.

I'd enjoy the woman's company and be careful not to let things get too intense.

It doesn't bother me personally as much as I think its coming off. I'm more worried about the reaction of friends and family, hearing people talking constantly, things like that.

Alright, I'm 26, she's 47

I wouldn't worry about the age difference. Mom needs to understand that age shouldn't matter, your happiness is what's important here. You being 27 (almost) are younger than my youngest daughter, so I'm thinking that I must be about the same age as your parents (I'm 54 almost 55). I don't think that the age thing would bother me.

Danger, Warning Will Robinson. Even casual sex could end up causing future problems when you bump into each other. Unless your drunk, then you can always blame it on the booze. Stay away from married women, exotic dancers, wet t-shirt contestants, crack whores, 14 y/o girls who say they're 18, women on probation, women who's name used to be Sam but is now Samantha, women who's idea of a date is evangalizing the neighborhood and I'm sure there are a few more. Happy hunting. The thrill is in the chase. Go hang out at a hospital cafeteria, see if you can meet a nurse.

She did Rick James, bitch!

The age thing shouldn't be an issue. But her past MIGHT be, depending on what kind of person she is.

I wouldn't say that ALL women who take off their clothes for the camera are bad people, but I'd personally have trouble pursuing a serious relationship with someone who was into that.

But I am rather modest that way.

Have fun with it. See where it goes. If it feels wierd, be honest with her as well as with yourself.

I disagree with a lot of people on the list about age. I think age matters especially with the difference you are describing. If this is just a fling, I'd say do it. but if there is any chance you might decide this is a relationship... no way. Wait until your 50 and she is 70... NOT. You'll be lusting over every woman but your own.

I would agree, with the exception that if she looks like Raquel Welch, all bets are off:

Who give a shit what anyone else thinks?

The older you get, the more you'll be choosing from leftovers. If you actually manage to find some chick that's 40(?) and single, and not a wack job, you're doing well.

I believe most people aren't single by choice, no matter how hard they try to convey that. People are only single because they can't find someone to put up with them.

He wants advice, that's different.

But what I meant is he shouldn't base his decision on what his mother might think. She's wouldn't be in a position to give impartial advice anyways.

Screw around, have a good time, but don't commit. Shun any commitment. Keep her expectations low on that front and she'll be less likely to set your house on fire when you dump her before the big 5-0.

exactly my point.

So far I'm thinking I need to decipher what the hell it is she wants. If it's a fling, or a friends with benefits kinda deal, awesome.

I just don't think I can see myself in a relationship with this kind of an age gap between us.


Out of courtesy to her, I'm not gonna just go out and post pics.

Don gave some good advice. I've dated older women before and it was fine, but I was still young and they were under 35 at the time. Once they're in their 40s it's different. Most women I've known in that age bracket who are single are due to divorce, bad marriage, bad relationship, or just plain crazy. And most that have been previously married don't want to get married again. You stated you are looking for a relationship.
I'd avoid it, but that's me.

She may not say as most women never know what they want, it changes like the season, seriously.
Just have fun and if things get weird get the hell out of there and move on, youre young. They say they want a relationship so they dont feel like a whore, dont give it to them just to date them. THey got needs to, just take care of the primal one and let some other guy deal with the rest. Might sound harsh but its true. Its like a 2nd job that doesnt pay and will cost you lol. When you get our age and all you have is damaged leftovers to choose from avoid dating all together and rent youll be happier; no need to listen to their pistons rattle in their bore and wonder when the service engine lights gonna come on next,lol.

you know... I dated an older woman before meeting bastet44.

Now, it wasn't a huge difference, ~5 years. I was 36, she was 41.

However, bastet is 10 years younger.

I find age to be a state of mind. Many people have issues with older women/younger men. Perhaps its perception, perhaps old school concepts of child making. I donno...

The key is how she looks at life and how you look at life. I would say you are in a delicate mental state. Having had a marriage just collapse cannot make one feel good, so jumping into the next thing is not always a good idea.

My rule of thumb, before starting a serious relationship after a breakup, is either half the relationships duration, or one year. Which ever is less.

This is time needed to recover and soul search to determine why the relationship failed, what you did to cause it, or absolve yourself from blame. Either way, time is needed to heal and get ready to move on.

So, back to the lady. Companionship is always a good thing, and it is flattering and ego building to have someone interested in you, but take it cautiously.

I suggest caution not because of her current or past or even future, but for YOU.

Your heart and mind will change as the divorce proceeds. This change could be slow, or it could be rapid. Either way, some hearts could be broken along the way.

I would simply state it to her simply:

I like you. But I am damaged goods and need headspace to sort shit out. If you don't want the world, great, lets party, but if you want more - a committment - this is not the right time or place.

It's all about being honest.

I was in a serious relationship back in the late 90s. at the time, I would have married her in a heartbeat (thank GOD I didn't!!!). However, we were together for about 18 months. After the breakup, I hit this rebound chick and it wasn't fair... sure the sex was good, but the emitional battle I was going through was not fair to her. When I broke up with her, I told her honestly that she wanted more than I could offer at this time. I am sorry, but I can't go foward; it's not fair to you and I am just not emotionally ready to commit to anyone. Period.

I know she didn't beleive it, but that's her problem. The natural reaction is to reject that claptrap as just that, however, it was the truth.

When one is emotionally challenged after a breakup, it's much like a metaphysical sucker punch to the gut. One does not getup from that quickly.

All that matters is your mental health. You are young and hurting still. Don't get into something that will only make the hurt worse.

Also, don't use this girl to get even with what your ex did. That's not fair to her.

Finally, women are not the psycho bitches that many here seem to think they are. Women are complex beings with many concerns; concern of child bearing is more than we as men can comprehend. I hate calling women the weaker or fairer sex; those are old school mindsets and are simply going to leave men grasping at straws looking for someone that doens't exist.

Anyone can be mecurial and irrational. It's just human nature.

For a good relationship, treat her as an equal, she has a mind, she can solve problems, she can offer insights and other points of view... don't disregard it just because she is a woman. That's arrogance of the highest order.

Don't get me wrong, there are whacked women out there... as much as their are whacked men. But don't lump all women as being nuts. Doing that, and any relationship is doomed from the start.

Thats the whole idea!

eff commitment, thats the hook women set, they need a relationship, we dont;its in their DNA they cant help it, seriously.
Its a beautiful thing.

now if shes the one in a million thing maybe a different story but this doesnt sound likeit.

Just have fun Matt, as an old timer once told me, "As a man gets older the line gets longer", and he is right.

Youre too young to be worrying about all that. By the time youre 35-40 your tastes will change anyway.

Sink the $ in your Vette and keep the dates cheap lol.

I'm sure glad you brought this querry to us. Who better to ask about relationships than the guys at a Corvette forum? Surely, they have the experience.

I'm sure I'll be out of place here being a woman and all, especially and old one who is 'open minded' about a lot of things including sex and relationships but....
Didn't you say you were 27 almost? So..... that means you are a grown man. Don't give a crap what others think, this is about YOU - not them. If it were, they'd be the ones contemplating dating/screwing/keeping good company with her.
You are both adults, don't worry so much about it and simply ASK or TELL what you think/want. Enjoy the company, show us some good pics, have fun most of all and if something happens, fine, if it don't - fine. If it's sex, fine you're grown you can handle it. And so is she. And, contrary to popular belief - not all women are 'emotionally attached and expect/need a relationship' from sex or otherwise. I've been single for four years. Sure I've dated, and one was serious, the minute his shit started staying her I got freaked and out he went. I like my space and don't like a leash. Maye one day the right one will show up and we'll meet in the middle but I'm not looking for it. Set in my ways I suppose. I do not like having someone up my butt 24/7 and into my biz and bank account. Sure help with car repairs and stuff is nice but I dont' like cleaning up after sloppy men, refuse to share a bathroom with one, and as far as car repairs, well I can do most of those myself. Don't get me wrong, I don't sit home, but I'm enjoying my freedom and 'relearning' who I am after two divorces. There wont' be a third. I can't afford it for one and two, I simply find it hard to trust a man. The first one I really loved but he ended up being a wife-beating crack addict a year later, the second was a cop who couldn't keep a job and lied a lot. Others I dated and got decently serious with ended up being cheaters and treated me like shit. Screw it - I'll just date, not be serious and just enjoy life and have fun.
You are single and young and healthy - there's noting wrong with having a 'friend with benefits' if it comes to that and I'm sure she's mature enough to handle it. Those are nice. You can have a 'sort of' relationship with out the committment and fussy-wussiness yet still get out with one another, enjoy each other's company, have sex or whatever and not be all messed up about it.
I have learned the hard way recently with three family losses in one week - life is tooooooooo short - enjoy every moment you can and don't give a shit about what others think so long as you are happy and not hurting anyone.
Remember - your life will pass you by one day - make sure it's worth watching.
And, if she's a hottie - post pics!

nope... it's the way I have always viewed women.

The interesting aspect of this is that many women didn't beleive I was this real... and figured it was some kind of scam just to get into their pants.

Thats the whole idea!

eff commitment, thats the hook women set, they need a relationship, we dont;its in their DNA they cant help it, seriously.
Its a beautiful thing.

now if shes the one in a million thing maybe a different story but this doesnt sound likeit.

Just have fun Matt, as an old timer once told me, "As a man gets older the line gets longer", and he is right.

Youre too young to be worrying about all that. By the time youre 35-40 your tastes will change anyway.

Sink the $ in your Vette and keep the dates cheap lol.

Oh, and post pics


You make a valid point, but at the same time, you have twisted it around and made it seem bad.

Committment is what women inherently desire. It's that kid thing, it's about having a family.

all of that requires stability. and the function of a woman is to provide stability.

it's a shame that all you have ever met are the whacked ones that screw the process up.

OK- having seen the pics! WOW ! She is a fine looking lady , everything you said. I would have a relationship with her , but not sure of the long term thing at some point the age difference is like when your a kid. The other question is can you handle guys hittin on her all the time? I used to date this woman - we were serious at the time. However every time we went out if I left her for a moment she had a line of drinks. Not bad for the wallet , but sometimes had to wonder why me.

Hope you catch a break soon.

Nope, the bad luck goddess is not done with me yet. Let's see, lost three family in one week, mother's was very hard, took 5 months or so to get done moving crap from her house, to mine, then rearranging mine, tying up her financial loose ends and stuff, then work is a *&*(#$*(#, speaking of which I was told over a month ago as of Dec. 16 I will no longer have a job after 16 years, they're sending our work (graphics dept) to Kentucky. Well, Kentucky offered me a job $4K LESS than I make now, no bonueses ect and I'd have to move over 300 miles where I know nobody and have no relatives to lean on in my time of need now. And, according to doc, all my recent illnesses including anxiety, depression, pleurisy, flu, sinus infection, tremendous weight gain, and something now called 'minor restrictive lung disease' are all due to recent traumatic events and stress in my life. And, on top of that the editor asked me to contribute to the yearly 'what I'm thankful for this year' column she writes every Thanksgiving. WTF? Ugh.
I've had all I can stand.
I have been in some lurking around, just not posted. it's been a stressy last few months to say the least but I have not forgotten you all. I seen where some have sick babies, wives, etc. I'm sorry to hear and hope all goes well and am very sorry about the wife leaving in this post. That I'm sure is hard too. I hope things have been good for everyone and you all are set for a good Thanksgiving and Christmas season.

Oh and I almost forgot, my tranny was acting weird in the vette so I went to auto zone to get some fluid and while I was letting the car warm up to see how much it needed, the left side of the radiator blew. right there in the dang parking lot. Towed it home, bought a new one. I got that put in today. Sheesh. Could have fixed it I suppose but after 14 years and 235,000 miles figured I'd splurge for a new one.
Better not nothing else break dang it! Car, me, work, mom's car, NOTHING!
Miller time....

VB - damn, girl... when it rains it pours...

I hope the Acme Bad-luck Anvil Company runs out of stock soon...

Ask this qx about Kentucky... What is the cost of living like? If the $4k loss isn't bad, it might not be bad for a change of scenery. Something new could be just what you need.

The cost of living is similar, but I've not had a raise in three years, my workload has increased 6X and then I'm treated like management being put over entire projects and such. I'm not about to go backwards. That much less I can work at Taco Bell here and do just as good. It was an insult actually. In January they hired a man that can't do half the shit I can, and now admit he's worhless but paid him the same as me just because he has a pecker. Thought we were past that. Realizing their mistake they were working on some other job/raise whatever for me. Then all this happened. And, I have no other immediate family left, and not really all that close to my others here but they are family and they are here. If I'm about to have to move 300+ miles away, it ain't gonna be to kentucky. It will be to the coast where Id rather be anyway. I plan to see if I qualify through job retraining through our unemployment office, if so, I'll get two years and thinking about paramedic school.

It sounds to me like you need to move south and become a paramedic.

The graphics biz is tough... and its gonna get tougher.

Bullshit. If women provided the stability, I'd stay at home all day and clean dishes, knit, and rebuild carbs.

The function of a woman is to find stability/family/kids at the expense of a man (who probably doesn't want it as much), and nail him down before her street value drops.

You crack me up!
:thumbright:
What man will really listen to a woman? Especially an old blonde one like me?

honestly tho - I get criticized about that a lot : being blunt and to the point.
I'm sorry - I dont' sugar coat anything for anyone, if you have the kods to ask I have the kods to answer, you get what you asked for. A lot of guys I have dated said it bothers them that I am independent and don't let them pay all the time, and do stuff to my own car and fix things around the house. One man told me it made him feel like he really wasnt' needed except his pecker.. and the problem is???
I try not to depend on a man for anything, i don't expect one to take care of me, I work I can pay my own bills. If he wants to be nice I'll accept but dont' expect stuff. In return, if I'm treated well I treat my man VERY well, on all levels. Should be a team. Problem is, there aren't any men around here that are worth a crap that don't beat on you or cheat on your or simply be an ass. I"m worth more than that. I will stay single before I get serious with anyone and put up with bullcrap and be tied down for some worthless man. that's what batteries are for...the fun without all the bullcrap that goes with it.
