I turned 40 last week, wife is 33. Started seeing eachother when she was 18 and I was 25. Married almost 11 years with 3 kids and she looks better now than the day I met her- true story.
I believe it brother.

7 days a week of Barre and HIIT workouts...pretty much crazy stuff.
I go to the gym 5-7 days a week and her HIIT workouts whoop my a$$...it is stupid
good on you, man. Hope you all compete against each other in living and both make it past 100.
Like fine wine...See now, me, I like older women. Them ladies up in their 90s, ah yeah.
Don't worry youre not old. Im 36 and am the exact same hahaThankfully, I am not single at 57. But, the idea of dating some 25-35 YO is completely out of the question for me. I would not stand for one second to be interrupted and/or ignored on behalf of a smartphone. Sure, the younger chicks would presumably have some things going for them that an older woman would not. But, honestly, what would I possibly have in common with someone that young? Outside of sex, what appeal is there for someone that much younger? A lot of women that age would want children which I do not need more children at my age. Odds are I wouldn't like many of the things she does like - it's just such a different world and culture from what I grew up in that I'm not sure how to bridge that gap. When I want to go on for a night on the town, I don't leave the house at 10:30 or 11:00. By midnight, I've had a lot of fun and want to go home. I'm not trying to impress anyone with my car, clothes, house, 'woke' attitude, how much I can drink, my knowledge of current pop culture, etc. Just don't see how that would work at all for me. There are plenty of beautiful 40+ YO women with whom I would have a much better chance of a lasting relationship. Of course, someone that old would have more baggage but, hell, so do I. If they're worth it, you deal with the baggage and get over it.
Marriage is also like Thanos in that half the world dies....in this case the man's half.True. But, I got lucky and married the right person for me. And, just because a 57-year old is now single doesn't mean he's capable of pulling 25-30 YO women. I'd love to know the average duration of a marriage when the partners' age gap is > 20 years. Absolutely CAN'T be more than 10 years. Statistically, 2nd marriages end in divorce 67% of the time and 74% of 3rd marriages end in divorce. Add in a large age gap and you're just kidding yourself that the marriage is going to be long-term. Bottom line, you've got to like something more about the person than they're good in bed (or at least younger). Without something more substantial, the relationship will definitely fall apart. It (like Thanos) is inevitable.
Last few girlfriends were/are respectively, 10 years younger, 13 younger, 15 younger and 6 so I’m on board with you boss.
My wife and I are both 41. She has aged incredibly well and is in fantastic shape. It actually keeps me on my game as well.
Two thoughts:
1) if you’re north of 40, you better make some money if you want a dime piece to be interested. Just the reality.
2). Marriage is really for the birds. If you don’t want kids, there is no point. If I got divorced tomorrow, I would go the sugar baby route. I’d find 2 25 year old chicks who not only knew about each other, but also didn’t care and would occasionally play together. Don’t care how it’s perceived, that’s what I’d do. I would never get married again...and I actually have a pretty good wife/marriage.
If something were to happen to the wife or we somehow got divorced, I don’t see getting remarried or maybe even dating all that much. Maybe I’m just naive, but just chilling and coming down the years seems an all right proposition. Perhaps loneliness would get the better of me.
Ugh... what’s up with that mole on her left rib?My wife....

I really did find this to be the case, when I was younger. Less ******** to deal with, and honestly, they're usually better in bed.Like fine wine...
I divorced when I was in my early 40s. I had a blast being single for about 15 years, I guess. When you get older, it's nice having someone. And my wife is the best. She'd support me in anything short of a criminal act. We make a good team. But it is very rare to find that.I'm about to hit 47 and if I got divorced I also would probably stay single. Maybe do a little dating but nothing serious. I'm at the point where I think I can get along better by myself with no other person to worry about. I miss the days of doing what I want when I want. About the only thing marriage is good for these days is if you are to poor to live alone, have kids and want them to have a stable life, or if you just want to marry for money. You can do pretty much everything else just fine on your own with maybe some casual dating.

But, I like to travel, hike, eat out and go to concerts, sporting events, theater and movies. I sure as hell don't want to go alone all the time and I'm not going to foot the bill for a 'casual date' to accompany me to Australia or Europe or to a nice steakhouse or a Broadway show. There definitely are times when it would be nice not to have anyone else to be concerned with but those are few and far between for me. Nobody's marriage is perfect but I wouldn't be a very happy person coming home to an empty house all the time. I'm probably in the minority but, after 33+ years, I still LIKE the woman I married and enjoy being with her.
Right. "Hard" pass.Ugh... what’s up with that mole on her left rib?
Hard pass...
Um, it's none of my business, but that's a huge warning sign. Unless you know what she's doing on that phone...Facebook has exponentially increased infidelity.I'm coming up on 20 years and am surprised one of us hasn't murdered the other one yet. [laughing] I actually like going to places by myself. Half the cost and no one to bug me. My wife gets antsy during movies and wants to look at her phone. The same for going out to eat. She always wants to play around on her phone.
I doubt she goes an hour total without being on her phone from the moment she gets home from work until the time she goes to bed. She might not even notice I was gone if I left her. [eyeroll] You can always have a dog to have some company. A dog is probably a better companion than a woman with a smartphone.
Man, that's the post of the dayI constantly get approached by younger women—20s-30s-40s—sometimes i dread even going to kroger’s.
I used to think i was blessed but sometimes it can seem like a curse.

Glamour, Cosmopolitan, Ladies Home Journal, Redbook, Harper's Bazaar, etc., etc. . . . none of all those ladies magazine published a single one of all those letters you sent and so now this . . . and just for us.I saw an article about Dennis Quaid's latest wife who is 27; he's 66. I'm thinking when I'm about 66 I'll be ready to settle down once again.
I'm 49 and in the last few years I've dated several women between 22-32 and gag at the thought of dating women my age. I actually consider women 5-10 years younger than me to be cougars haha. All the ones I graduated HS with look like they could be an aunt or my mom.
I've managed to keep my dating life mostly off of social media because I don't want to get a bad rep. I think men and women age differently. I believe women actually peak around age 20 and start going downhill, much more quickly once they have kids. Men, on the other hand peak around 40 and I really don't know when they hit the wall; it depends on how financially secure they are. There are exceptions of course.
I just wanted the Paddock's take on it. Any of you guys out there notice the differences in age perception between men and women?
What’s wrong with staying up til the wee hours Friday and Saturday night getting hammered? Work hard play hard!Don’t much like dating much younger women. I’m going 10+ as much younger. I’m 34, 24 year-old-women and younger typically are in a completely different state of mind and stage of life that I don’t really want to deal with. Especially if you go into the typical college age years. If they still think it’s a blast to stay up to the wee hours of Friday and Saturday night getting hammered on alcohol and/or drugs then I don’t want anything to do with them.
It’s stupid is why.What’s wrong with staying up til the wee hours Friday and Saturday night getting hammered? Work hard play hard!
If the arrangement works for you, that's all that matters. I do like my alone time. But I also like attention from my wife.No I trust her. She just spends so much time posting and reading Facebook and talking on the phone with her friends (most of the time on speakerphone and not trying to hide anything).
My daughter is a cheerleader and she is constantly talking to the other cheer moms. It's like a freaking club with all of them. They all try to live vicariously through their kids I think. Cheer moms are probably worse than little league dads.
At least prostitutes are honest about their intentions.Why is it called prostitution when they’re paid by the hour? But renting one for months is legal.
I know what you mean. I'm 63 now but dated a women that was 29 when I was 51. Never knew what to expect from day to day and it was mentally draining. Buuuttt, the physical part of the relationship was oner the top. Lasted for about six months until she started wanting "more", which undoubtedly meant marriage. Kind of like that George Strait song with the line "someday you'll pass her on the street, with that guy you used to be.........etc.".I didn't deal with 25 year old woman drama well when I was 25. I would absolutely hate it now.
Me too, only they’re 55-60.I constantly get approached by younger women—20s-30s-40s—sometimes i dread even going to kroger’s.
It’s not stupid to the people doing it and having a great time!It’s stupid is why.
Heads up. If you are in your forties and don't have money or power, ZERO attractive women have the slightest interest in you. Dream on though.
More proof that it's nothing but an agreement, one where the woman has nothing to lose. She's rich if it works out, she's richer if she wakes up one morning and says "I want to do something different".
But did he think it was worth it?I have a cousin who got rich (inheritance) and married a beauty nearly half his age. He openly acknowledged that she did it because of his money but said he didn't care. Lost his money in fraudulent investments. She was gone soon afterwards. And he was saddled with child support.
