It went out the window eventually. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-date-a-50-year-old-man/page/2#post-1119398 Sat, 28 Sep 2013 22:07:11 +0000 sunny 1119398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know... I think I'd have a hard time with the age gap. But if my DH was 50 I guess it might have still worked! </p> <p>I can't believe some of those celebs are pushing 50! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-date-a-50-year-old-man/page/2#post-1119334 Sat, 28 Sep 2013 20:52:42 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1119334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As a 32yo yes, as a 22yo no.<br /> My mil was 23 when she married my then 55year old FIL. Their relationship was a disaster. He already had six kids, most of whom were her age or older. It's still awkward to this day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-date-a-50-year-old-man/page/2#post-1119279 Sat, 28 Sep 2013 20:18:18 +0000 chopsuey 1119279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha.

He'd be older than my parents though, so that would be weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-date-a-50-year-old-man/page/2#post-1119188 Sat, 28 Sep 2013 19:19:56 +0000 PrincessBaby 1119188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dad is young, he's only 55 NOW, so me personally, I could not imagine dating someone my Dad's age. However, I truly believe that you just can't help who you fall in love with. That's all there is to it. And if my DH was 50 instead of 33, I'd still be in love with him. So whatever works for each person/couple! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-date-a-50-year-old-man/page/2#post-1119177 Sat, 28 Sep 2013 19:12:51 +0000 lioneyes 1119177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ian ziering is 49, so, it all depends! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-date-a-50-year-old-man/page/2#post-1119124 Sat, 28 Sep 2013 18:15:39 +0000 shopaholic 1119124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cascademom: Thanks!<br /> @googly-eyes: No offense! At some point, you just think "ewww" haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-date-a-50-year-old-man/page/2#post-1119032 Sat, 28 Sep 2013 15:45:53 +0000 googly-eyes 1119032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: Right? I don't mean any offense by it but at a certain point you have to stop and wonder what each person brings to the relationship...There are people who have lived beyond their years, but for me that would just be too much. I guess never say never but I can say with 99.999999% confidence no. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-date-a-50-year-old-man/page/2#post-1119029 Sat, 28 Sep 2013 15:34:56 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1119029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband is younger than me. I've never really been interested in older men. I'm a little sad that I'm just 5 years younger than some of your dads! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-date-a-50-year-old-man/page/2#post-1119022 Sat, 28 Sep 2013 15:08:33 +0000 cascademom 1119022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: you're 33! I always thought that you were younger. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-date-a-50-year-old-man/page/2#post-1119021 Sat, 28 Sep 2013 15:07:14 +0000 cascademom 1119021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't. I know someone whose engaged to a 48 year old man with three kids in high school. That's a lot to marry into. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-date-a-50-year-old-man/page/2#post-1119009 Sat, 28 Sep 2013 14:43:47 +0000 shopaholic 1119009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: Aww! So cute!</p> <p>Yup, if I were single and he was someone I really liked! I've always dated older though (I think my biggest age gap was ~ 13 years). I think the question totally depends on how old you are though. I'm 33 so it doesn't sound as crazy as @googly-eyes: who is 23! lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-date-a-50-year-old-man/page/2#post-1118921 Sat, 28 Sep 2013 13:00:00 +0000 googly-eyes 1118921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No but I'm 23.</p> <p>What would a 50 year old have in common with me? I mean what would a 50 year old be looking for in me anyhow?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-date-a-50-year-old-man/page/2#post-1118906 Sat, 28 Sep 2013 12:39:42 +0000 Happygal 1118906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yeah. Lots of sexy older men out there. People in my family all thought I would end up with an older man. My DH is only 2 years older. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-date-a-50-year-old-man/page/2#post-1118903 Sat, 28 Sep 2013 12:36:14 +0000 HellOnHeels 1118903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Doubt it. My Dad is only 45, so that would be way too weird. </p> <p>When MIL and FIL married, she was in her early 20s and he was in his 50s. I've always wanted to ask her what she saw in someone her Dad's age... I might get SIL to find out, since that's something she can ask, not really me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-date-a-50-year-old-man/page/2#post-1118896 Sat, 28 Sep 2013 12:20:43 +0000 MsMamaBear 1118896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, my mom is 52. LOL! My limit is 10yrs, which would be 42. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-date-a-50-year-old-man/page/2#post-1116932 Fri, 27 Sep 2013 12:46:53 +0000 BananaPancakes 1116932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably not. I can't imagine there are too many 50 year olds out there that I would have enough in common with to actually marry. I think it really has to be a perfect combination for it to be successful, because the age difference can eventually start to show. My mom married my dad when she was 20 and he was 40, and it did not work out. At all. I honestly don't think I'd go more than 10 years in difference, so 40. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-date-a-50-year-old-man/page/2#post-1116900 Fri, 27 Sep 2013 12:28:29 +0000 lovehoneybee 1116900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know. I think probably not, but it would depend on the guy. Unfortunately, it would not be Johnny Depp--my The Ex was a poor man's Johnny Depp, and that would just be too much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-date-a-50-year-old-man/page/2#post-1116881 Fri, 27 Sep 2013 12:21:02 +0000 Sugar.Biscuit 1116881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In a different life maybe. It might be fun to be the secret but exclusive girlfriend of an older man who spent time &amp; money on you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-date-a-50-year-old-man/page/2#post-1116782 Fri, 27 Sep 2013 11:47:35 +0000 Andrea 1116782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: Liam Neeson!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-date-a-50-year-old-man/page/2#post-1116747 Fri, 27 Sep 2013 11:36:39 +0000 edelweiss 1116747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>probably, but it would be a 13-year age difference as opposed to, say, a 25-year age difference. not sure how i feel about the latter--it's hard to imagine that at 25 i would have had enough in common with a 50-year old, but you never know. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-date-a-50-year-old-man/page/2#post-1116434 Fri, 27 Sep 2013 10:07:35 +0000 rachiecakes 1116434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bookish: thank you! haha, I never knew that 'mom' was in me until I met DS, he is the center of my universe. I love being a mom more than I never could have imagined. </p> <p>@sandy: thanks! we'll be celebrating 14 years together in February! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-date-a-50-year-old-man/page/2#post-1116389 Fri, 27 Sep 2013 09:52:58 +0000 lawbee11 1116389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: Same! I think the youngest guy I've seriously dated was 8 or 9 years older than me. My DH is almost 20 years older! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-date-a-50-year-old-man/page/2#post-1116371 Fri, 27 Sep 2013 09:47:58 +0000 Sunshine1810 1116371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would! I tend to like older guys. DH is 10 years older than me, and my ex was....20 years older than me! I'm a couple months shy of 32 so that would be less than my age difference with my ex. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-date-a-50-year-old-man/page/2#post-1116324 Fri, 27 Sep 2013 09:36:27 +0000 sandy 1116324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: you are a hot couple!!! My best friend is married to a guy 16 years older than her too...it's their 10 year anniversary next year. They have 2 beautiful children and an amazing life together. </p> <p>I love Johnny Depp so if I was single I would definitely date him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-date-a-50-year-old-man/page/2#post-1116298 Fri, 27 Sep 2013 09:28:08 +0000 Bookish 1116298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: haha I'm the same way... not a kid person at all, hated babysitting, still don't like most other peoples' children...but man, if I can have another DD?? Yes please! And I agree with pps, he doesn't look that much older than you, and y'all are just adorable!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-date-a-50-year-old-man/page/2#post-1116263 Fri, 27 Sep 2013 09:20:43 +0000 avivoca 1116263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It would be weird. My dad is 56. </p>
