Age difference in relationships

I'll take this as you turning over a new leaf, and you're going to try to be a little nicer, and maybe, just maybe, a little less sarcastic????

Go to this link (see below). It is in Russian language but you can see the picture of the guy. His name is Villi and the name of his wife is Julia. Unfortunately there is no picture of his wife there. The age difference between them is 41 years


Âèëëè Òîêàðåâ - îôèöèàëüíûé ñàéò

Villi is a russian singer and musician. He was born in 1934 in Russia.
He married second time when he was 60. His wife was 19 years old (10 years ago). Now he is 72 and his wife is 29 years old and they live a happy life together. They have two beautiful children from their marriage. Villi also has two more sons from his previous marriage.

My another friend in Russia had been married two times. He married the third time (around 8 years ago) when he was 46 and his future wife (never married, no children) was 26. They have a 5 years old son now. My friend is not rich. I know his wife and I must say she is a beautiful woman!!!
I also know a lot of other cases (from my own experience) when the age difference is pretty big between the couples in Russia (both when men much older than women and women older than men) And in none of these cases money was the factor. I have no idea about Dominican Republic in these regards but I think there are always couples with big age difference between them. No matter where they live. And it not always money that play big role in their marriage.
Anyway,I do not want to argue whether it is good or bad. Just food for thought
Good night

C'mon, that's just WRONG!! There will always be a physical attraction to a brand new 21 yr old, whether male or female. Youth is attractive, plain & simple! As ages become more lopsided, so will the mental intelligence, maturity, belief's, family awkwardness, worldly experiences etc.
Older woman will combat youth's nubile bodies with their lack of sexual experience but truly, this is less important to a man, than those brand new bodies. Sorry cougars. It probably works both ways though.
So, to sum it up, for a trist, go for youth, for a life partner, keep the gap realistic.
There does seem to be an unfair double standard where a woman is less concerned about a man's age than a man is a woman's.
You need to draw the line somewhere though. 80 yr old with a 20 yr old is just wrong regardless of their gender.

Men & women don't have relationship problems, because of age differences, men & women have relationship problems because they are such different creatures and can't get along.
If they weren't "attracted" to each other by nature, they would probably wage war on each other, and kill each other off....

I'm entering the 4th year of a relationship with a Dominicana. Age difference 39 years! When I first wrote about this relationship 3 1/2 years ago I was villified as an exploitive sex tourist by many irate posters, and warned by others that I was the victim of a scam. I'm 62, she's 23. But here's the bottom line.

- We have established a stable family life. Her children are in private school and thriving. She has gone back to school to finish her high school education, then she wants to become a lawyer.

- I have a second opportunity to bring up a family. My 2 sons in NY are 32 and 29, so I know alot about bringing up kids. I love it and I'm good at it.

-I spend most of my time in NY working, and I visit the family once a month. It's expensive (school, travelling etc.) so I will have to keep on working as long as I can. But that's a good thing. It keeps me young.

-More germain to this thread, our relationship is not based on sex. For her and her children, it is an opportunity to leave a life of unbelievable poverty and enjoy a future that she hardly knew existed. And for me, it's the opportunity to share in that fantastic journey.

-I'm half husband and half father to her. We respect each other and have a type of love that's very deep and mature. There is alot to learn, and more than enough bumps in the road. But the answer is yes, you can have a good relationship with a big age difference. - D

...I LIKE.. MY FIANCEE NEARLY 27YRS,ME NEARLY 65 YRS OLD,THERE NO PROBLEMS IN OUR RELATIONSHIP,HER QUOTE BETTER SEX THAN WITH 30YR OLD UNQUOTE!!BUT NOT A QUESTION OF SEX,OUR GOOD LIFE IN WHAT WE SHARE WITH ONE ANOTHER,I AM LOVER,FRIEND,HUSBAND TO BE SHORTLY AND FATHER FIGURE TO HER AND SHE RESPECTS ME,ALSO HER FAMILY....
