Older men... acceptable?
I am a 19 year old female who has dated a lot of immature 18-21 year olds. I joined an online dating site recently, just because I thought it would be fun. Well, now I seem to be drawing myself towards older men, such as 30 year olds. I suppose it's because of their maturity level, financial stability, and experience.
Would this be socially acceptable for me to have a relationship with a 30 year old, or a bit taboo? How would others perceive us? What should I consider before dating an older man? What sort of problems may we encounter in our relationship? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

One you shouldn't worry about what other people say about who you want to date. On a days older men are with younger woman and yonger woman are with older men. I dated someone that was older then me and we were great together and we had alot in commin. Just make sure that the person is going to be very truthful and not some kind of con man because there's alot of guys out their that would take advantage of you. I hope that I helped. keemkick@hotmail.com

Hi there,
If you love someone (and you have used this dating site to find someone you could possibly fall in love with) then it doesn't matter what anyone thinks about your ages, race, religion as long as you are both happy with it.
In this day and ages there is nothing really anymore that is socially unacceptable when it comes to dating so get out there and don't worry about what other people think! If we all worried about what everyone else thought then no one would get anywhere!!! :o)

Well, first off, I know that you probably dont' want to hear this, but be careful of who you meet on the internet. Some of those guys could be extremley dangerous.
Besides that, I know how you feel on this one, and I think that you should take the chance with an older man if you are willing to. It's only an 11 year difference. If you connect with him, then I say go ahead. But I'm pretty sure you will get some odd looks from people who have nothing better to do in life then criticize others.
There's nothing wrong with dating a guy who's a little older. Go for it hon, but just keep the internet warning in mind =D

i think that you should follow your heart. age is just a number, love will never end. dont worry as much about what other people think of you. they're not with him, so they dont have to worry about it. besides you are 19 and he is 30. thats really not all that bad. my sister is 21 and her husband is in his mid 40's. my mom is 38 and her husband is in his mid 50's. ((everyone still loves them just the same)) i personally dont enjoy being with older guys but its not age that matters...just follow your heart and dont worry about what other people think of u. its none of their buisness. i hope that helped! :) much <3

Well I am 15. So here me out if you hear some 15 year old stuff. I think its fine to date older men because women do mature faster and that the way the world turns. I was dating and 18 year old. But when you get older the ages change. Like 25 is great and everytunig and if you feel comfterable with 30 then go with it. Every girl likes a diffrent maturity level. Some things you make encounter is that he is gonig to be working and you are in collage. But I suggest ( not saying you will) not to get pregnent because yes he can support you but you will have to drop out. And men aroud that age want to have kids. See what I mean.
Well hope I helped

Society, society, society. Why care about society. If 'x' and 'y' fall in love, who cares about anyone but them? I personally think it's a good chance to meet other people but not necessarily people who will be perfect for a relationship.

My mom is like 40 and my dad is 50. So it would be acceptable for you to date someone that old at least you would be taken care of financially. Alot of people date older men if they are girls and if the guy is hott then you should go for him.

no i dont think that dating a man would be socially acceptable. but i do think that its your dicision who you date so basically screw all the people who got something to say.but you have to understand their will be alot of people hating on you.but forget about them and do yo thang

Well, *i* dont think age is, or should be, a factor in a relationship, especially if the feelings are mutual.
honestly, people may look down upon it, but why should that matter if you too really like eachother?
in any relationship, you should keep yourself safe, and dont do anything you want to. im not an older man, (lol) so i dont know how they act, but they may be more sexual than you, or more ready for committment, just wait until you are ready.
you will always encounter problems in relationships, and i think in way the problems in your relationship would be pretty equivalent to one with a younger guy.

well you are to yong to dating an man 30 years i also understand that there alot of immature men out in the world so my advice to you is keep yourself safe and do what you think best til next time take care

i think thats a little to old. maybe you should go with some one around the age of 23-27?? those ages arnt too bad for you.

On a personal level, Id never go over 25, but the thing is.. age is of no importance whatsoever.. it all depends on how you feel for the other person... and who cares how others perceive you.. its up to you who you date.. and as long as you are loving and caring towards each other it doesnt matter. something to consider before dating someone in their 30's is they are 3 times as likely to have or want kids, most might be married, alot of 30 yr olds ARENT financially stable at all.. alot are paying child support or getting over messy divorces.. problems you may encounter is that you must remember there is 11 years of difference. they were young at a different time than you, so they will have majorly different outlooks on life, music, movies, everything. but you may get lucky and find the perfect guy. but in conclusion its entirely up to you and doesnt matter what anybody else thinks
