For Women Only..What's the largest age difference to get married?

2,091 502 October 13, 2010 at 04:52 AM in Chat
I am a man.....I have a girl that is interested in marrying me....I feel uncomfortable with our age difference and feel she is too young, but need other opinions because I am no expert in marriage, having never done it before.

I just want to get different opinions on what the women on this board feel is a reasonable (to them) age difference...Please post your opinion, no matter what that is. I am asking women only because I feel they are more in tune with this and have a better perspective...

Thanks in advance.

I agree on the money issue. like. I wouldn't date a broke 50 yr old. hed have to make 6 figures min.
now if I was 24 laugh out loud ud better be making 500K minimum at 50. ok. 300. but u better be away on bussiness ALOT.
I'd say at 24 u could be 37 max. 40 if ur doing ok. 45 if ur rich. anything more and its gold diggin.
Honestly ... I thought this whole post needed the sarcastic font ... it was hilarious...


Till I realized that she actually does not see the contradiction in her own post. Facepalm


... fark it ... it's still funny! LMAO


* Gold digger - someone who develops a relationship with a much older partner or someone whom they do not find attractive physically, intellectually or congenially for primarily financial reasons, especially to inherit the partner's wealth upon death (which is expected to come soon), or upon divorce.

WHYYYYYYY does it constitue gold digging? women have requirements. they ALL do. and anyone who says differnet. is single.
Quote from Tamales. :
ok. so what should the dependable age range be based on???
looks? that would make u superficial.
a persons income highly affects their social status? Unsure and mentality. theyre WHOLE persona.
*this does not apply to women.
Facepalm I really hope, and I mean really hope that you aren't this shallow, ignorant and stupid in real life. If so, I am never, ever going to Texas. Seriously, please stop trying to speak for all women.

I for one do not have requirements when it comes to money and I am married. The only thing would be as long as they don't just blow their money all the time, they need to be financially responsible, no matter how much they have. That is just intelligent.

I just see a large discrepancy between "I cannot marry someone who is a bum" and "If they are 10 years older than me they must make XXXXXX dollars per year"

One is common sense, the other is creepy and shallow.

Iagree in a way.

In our society, it's not shallow to want to date someone in your "social class" , but it's shallow to set a monetary value on the person (though earning 6 figures when the person is 50, in many professions is easily reached).

Again, to have a mental list of things that would be nice in a dream partner is fine. But having a mandatory income, height, etc... is just preposterous.
