I'm 42 and my boyfriend is 24!

And then they post asking for advice on GLP?

yeah, what you said.

Oh I wanted to hear the responses..
I knew exactly what I was in for! lol

Tell that to Madonna...dare you!

Here is a good supportive relationship website....much better than GLP for this;

Go to the library together!
I'll take the gym any old day of the week!

That's not true.
I'm quite intelecutal, but I also still enjoy going to a good Metal show, or out hunting and fishing.
Sometimes I go out with younger men, because there is no one my age that still enjoys doing the things I still enjoy doing.
Not to mention, they make me feel like I'm out with my Grandpa, because they have not taken care of themselves physically ( why they can't go tromping up and down hills with me), and they act like it too!
"I'm too old for that!" kinda crap.( usually in response to going and hearing a new band)
Just because my physical body has aged, does not mean that I still don't enjoy doing all the things I used to do when I was younger. I think that "out growing it" crap is just that,,,crap!
Maybe if some older men would stop acting Ancient, we'd have someone our own age to date.
I have to say, there are some very mature younger people out there.
I enjoy talking to them, hearing their opinions about what's going on in our World today.
Maybe if you ever took the time to actually sit and converse with younger people, you'd understand they aren't all just a bunch of idiots.
Some are very deep thinkers and have much to share with others.

Well it seems to me that this thread has had more hits and more replies than any others posted in last hour so despite the negative replies you were at least more interested in my story than you would care to admit..
Beats doom and gloom and earthquake predictions any old day..

true enuff

Enjoy it while it lasts. It could be you finding someone else and leaving him first. You never know!

LOL!!!!
Never know indeed!!

id bet onit

a monkey never leaves a branch with out first grabbing hold another.

who is the little monkey here?

Just came across this post and know that it's old, but thought I'd add my 2 cents nonetheless. I'm 37, bf is 24. Met over a year ago. I decided to move halfway across the US for a job 6 months after we met; I don't have family and wasn't tied to where I was. He is EXTREMELY close to his family (who are all where we were), yet decided to follow me because he loved me that much. He was 23 at the time. I have to say that I would never in a million years have dreamed of dating someone that young; I have no taste for immature fools. We started off as friends and I had no idea how old he was when we first started hanging out because we could carry on intelligent conversations about everything from politics to technology to religion. We moved almost a year ago now and we are closer than ever. I recall when I first started dating him that I didn't intend for things to get that serious; I truly treated it as a fling. However, he treats me better than any man I have dated (and I've dated a lot), and he is more mature and in sync with me than anyone else I have known. Just trying to point out that sometimes the age difference truly doesn't matter because the age separation is only physical in nature. What is in the heart and soul is what counts, and he has made it clear that I am the only one he wants, EVER. I don't know what the future holds, and being older, I tend to be more reserved, but he is adamant that we will be together forever. As far as the comments that someone older wouldn't relate to someone that much younger unless they were an idiot: well, that is false in my case. I work in computer security and have been doing security, programming, and systems administration for 12 years. I have multiple certifications and a degree. I am not stupid. Just goes to show that love does find a way. Congrats to you!!!

MOST relationships only last a couple of years lately

besides if all the doomers here are right, the world blows up on 12 12 2012 anyway, lol

Go for it OP...

im 29, and my lady is 42.. living the dream ;)

How do you explain to your son about 2 men (you and your bf) dating?

Of course he will dump you.

Enjoy yourself it's later then you think.

my last gf was 44 and i was 27, it was the most drama free relationship i had.

By your post you sound far from insecure. Since he's smokin hot and you look great, is your post an actual question or a statement about how you can rock being 42? Help us help you....

Im jealous! I would like a milf

First off, I am happy for you both and wish you the best! But you know the time is coming soon where you'll be tickling fifty and he'll be just over thirty. Don't you think it is more than a little obvious that there have not been any posts so far where the woman is in her fifties or sixties and the man in his thirties or early forties saying how great and physical things are? Doesn't happen. Enjoy what today brings, there are no guarantees that tomorrow the sun will rise.

there are some really hot milfs in netherlands. love those KLM ladies at the airport :D

Why is everyone flaming this woman?
How is this relationship non-consensual and an act of pedophilia?

The age difference doesn't determine the lawfulness of a relationship, the actual age of the peoples age is what needs to be considered.

21 is legal and completely legal and consensual.

I'm 26 and dating a 41 year old woman.

I can tell you now, she is more loving, caring and adoring than any partner I have had of my own age in the past.

Omg I'm the op!
I forgot I ever posted this thread Lolololololololololololololololo
And for all the people who said it wouldn't last we are still together and going strong. I'm 45 now and he's 26.

Lol I can't stop laughing. I saw the thread and went oooh that sounds like me! Oh shit it is me!!

24 is not a kid, geez.

I would definitely feel insecure, and yeah, he will probably stray, men are visual creatures. Not to be mean, but an older woman your age and a guy that young just sounds creepy. I get that age doesn't matter when you are in true love, but usually women your age want a guy with lots of life experience and who has aleady sown his oats. No matter how good you look now, he is so much younger, once your body starts to sag, and it will, he will be looking at girls his age that are firm. Younger guys like that would not interest me in the least. I have a friend 15 years younger than me that hits on me and it is creepy to me, I could be his mom, lol.

It might work, more than likely it won't. In another four years he will be looking at thirty and wondering what he might have missed bangn' all those 20 year olds he turned down….good luck.

I'm jealous. I love older women. When I was 23 I was seeing a 37 year old. It was amazing and ill never forget about her.

Good luck OP. Post some pics ;P
