Dating a woman half your age

[K2000kidd]

This guy Tim that i work with has been FB'ing a 23 yr old bipolar girl
he's 41 but instead of treating him like the fkn pimp he is
he's treated like a child molester, Many feel he's WAY too old fr her
and he takes advantage cuz her manic phase gets her all horned up
and she treats him to marathon style anything goes sex til she comes down

i think he's doing it right by not becoming LTR and i told him him as long as
things stay the way they are, just enjoy the ride

Do you think age should be an issue after women turn 18??

I dont think the actual age is so much of an issue as how far developed mentally the younger participant is. I think its wrong for a 40 year old man to be with someone who has barely experienced life and has mentally probably developed to the age of 16, but i think its perfectly fine for a 40 year old guy to be dating an 18 year old who has developed as an 18 year old. I guess what I am trying to say is its fine if the younger person isnt guillable or vulnerable.

Actually I think the bipolar may be the issue not so much the age difference
Think about it a 23 yr old with no real dating options and a single 40 yr old
guy with nothing better going for him than the fact he's hooking up with a 23 yr old mentally ill girl.

Woww now i think he's a scumbag

Do you guys think Hugh Hefner is a scumbag... Think about it.. If i was that age and could pull younger chicks i would. Plain and Simple. Why would you sell yourself by short banging some old chick past her prime?

I dont really see anything wrong with it. sure, the age difference is a biig gap, but if they make it work than why judge them?

I think in natural terms. Naturally, if she's gone through puberty, she's fair game.

Legally, he just needs to stay within the law, even if its set at a bull**** high age.

While technically bipolar syndrome is a mental illness, it's certainly not a mental illness in the way that being psychotic is. A good friend of mine is bipolar and she is a best selling author and advocates for better understanding of the issue.

So, a 23 year old who is bipolar is completely capable of choosing who to sleep with and might like a mature guy because he's better able to understand her condition than a young kid.

I wouldn't ever date a girl half my age. The case you mention is legal, and hey, let the man live the way he wants to. As long as both parties are happy, then it's all good.
