Re: Need Advice....Is okay for a 21 yr old college female to go out with a 37 yr old man...Or should I stay in my own age group..

No matter how mature you are, you are no match for a 37 year old. No matter how immature they are, they have a ton more life experience and can manipulate you very effectively. A 37 year old man is, in my experience, in the prime of life. They can be very good looking at that age.

That being said I've had many friends marry people that are up to 15 years different, including my best girlfriend who married a man 15 years younger. Best marriage I've ever seen, and still going strong after 18 years.

But honey, men will always be seeking women who are young. You are an easy target for those that just want a young thing. Believe me, there are more losers out there than quality men.

If you are going to date this man I'd get to know him (non-physically) first. I find the best way to either fan the flames or kill the flames are some really LONG probing discussions about many many things. Like Religion, Women's rights, ex-wives, relationships with Mom, relationship with Dad, growing up, Political, social......the more you question the more you'll know. And in the end you might just think.....what an old coot! And if the guy doesn't want to spend the time getting to know you like that, then screw it....then you'll know. Tweet
