Times have changed a lot in recent years, but a relationship with an older man and a certain age gap still draws the occasional disparaging and negative remark.

I myself have been in a relationship with an older man for several years now. Of course, at first there were some concerns and odd comments among my acquaintances and friends, too. But I was able to handle that well from the start, and in the end, in my opinion, it's nobody else's business anyway.

Relationship with an older man - problems and obstacles?

Relationship with an older man

My name is Jennifer and I'm 33 years old. A few years ago I realized that a relationship with a man my own age, or even a younger one, is simply not for me. Many people talk about a daddy complex, but that's by no means the case. I simply find older men sexy, and the conversations are also far more interesting than with other men. Maybe it's also the life experience that older men have, which sparks a certain curiosity in me. I can't really explain it, but I find older men much more interesting. I would enter a relationship with an older man again and again.

Relationship with an older man – that sentence alone is enough to set off a heated discussion for many people. By now I find all of it very amusing and can only smile at all these discussions. I myself am in a relationship with a 59-year-old man. We're both very happy together, and of course there are still some sideways glances today. But we skillfully ignore them, because we're certainly no worse or different than other couples. I would describe our relationship as very open and close. We talk about everything that's on our minds, and I'm sure my partner would always stand behind my decisions. From the very first day there was a certain harmony and chemistry.

Relationship with an older man - I couldn't be any luckier

We met on the internet. The age gap was never an issue for us at any point. I first thought about it when I visited my parents with my partner for the first time. They're of course the same age. My parents are also very open-minded about this, though, and in the end all that counts is that I'm simply happy.

Relationships with a certain age gap

Relationship with an older man

Partnerships in which the women are significantly younger than the men have existed for many years. Just think about it: whether it's the Austrian builder Richard Lugner or Playboy founder Hugh Hefner, they all preferred younger women. Of course, for many men the sexual aspect also holds a certain appeal. It's nobody's business, but the sex with my older partner is amazing. In my opinion, a relationship with an older man is perfectly normal.
