Members weighed in on age gaps in relationships, sharing a mix of personal stories and honest reflections on what makes them work or fall apart. Several members described meaningful long-term relationships with significant age differences, with one sharing 32 years together and another celebrating 16 years with their husband, both emphasizing that trust, compatibility, and genuine connection matter most. A recurring theme was the importance of staying cautious, whether navigating dating apps, avoiding financial exploitation, or watching for scams that target vulnerable members of the community.

22 years between me and my husband. Been together for 16 yrs and married for the past 2 yrs. Trust your gut feeling - If he's the right ONE, you will know it.

Well I guess I am the dinosaur of this line of thinking ....

I knew I wanted an older man as my mate as far back as junior high .....

Well when I found the right man I was on him like white on rice and he reciprocated ...

Well we were together 32 years when I buried him in 2018 ...

But one thing he brought up during our many heart to heart chats was " your still young enuf to find a partner who will take care of you as you have done me all these years and leave him everything you own in return " ....

Well the problem ( wall actually) is finding some one younger that has a brain and knows how to use it instead of wanting to " because kept " because I deserve it " ....

I mean hell I want an equal partnership not to be a sugar daddy because I know what true love is !

As I get older I am seeing a couple of friends getting hooked in catfish scams and eventually they come crying to me. One thought they found their soul mate only to meet the person's spouse of 10 years in a parking lot outside of a club and everything they knew about the person was a lie. I also have a coworker who is sending money to Columbia to someone he has never met and won't stop sending his money away. Both were desperate as the first one's spouse died and the other one recently had a divorce. Being more of a romantic I would get more enjoyment out of a dinner and a movie with friends then sex with someone who was only into me for the money. If I need it that bad there are lots of toys out there you can buy or slirp and squirt places. Play, have fun (with stranger danger) but just be super wise and question everything. There is nothing wrong with older younger relationships as long as both truely love each other. There are good people out there and others that look for our vunerabilities that are due to HIV and our self esteem. Its one reason why I don't add people or respond to no picture profiles on this site.

On the apps that I use when younger hit me up. I don’t respond. On a few occasions when I do respond. I’ll say thanks not interested. Some get upset that im not interested. I could afford a younger guy. But IM not interested in being a blank check.

I thought so too...sexual stamina and emotional compatibility are the key issues to weigh.
