What are your views on older women, dating or marrying younger men.. I’m not talking about teenage boys or cougars.. I’m talking about role reversal.. acceptance of older men and younger women seems to be OK, but what about the other way around.. Does it make you uncomfortable and why if it does..
It’s never made me uncomfortable. I’ve mostly dated older women. I never planned it that way, it just happened.
I think if you’re a good match for one another, then there isn’t much of an issue. I think when you do start talking about teenagers or "cougers" it can get creepy, just as it’s creepy for a guy to pursue a girl half his age. Notice I said girl, not woman. We call those guys creepy or dirty old men. We don’t really accept it, anymore than we do accept women doing that.
If a man is older, we may also call him a sugar daddy. We don’t say that with admiration. It’s usually meant as a negative comment about the guy and the girl.
Men used to be able to get away with a lot more, than they can now. On the flip-side, I think women can get away with a lot more now, then they once could. The roles are reversing to some degree.
Traditionally, it was said that women pursued older guys, because girls mature faster than boys, and because men used to be the main breadwinners, and women used to seek security.
More and more women are now having careers of their own, so that’s far less of an issue. As for maturity, that’s probably still valid, but I think that some boys mature faster than other, and they may also find maturity attractive.
As long as you aren’t too young, and the age difference isn’t great, I don’t see much problem with it, just as I don’t see a problem with a younger woman dating a slightly older man, under those conditions.
Best of luck in life and love.

if you love the girl older than you then there should be no problem. it doesn’t matter what others think of it its just how you feel for the person

I am older than my boyfriend by two years and we get along just as much as when I was dating older guys. As long as two people are looking for the same things in life, age doesn’t make much difference.
