Should a man date an older woman?

[Curtis Mike]

I do not see any thing wrong with a man dating an older woman if he is in love.Though some do it for money while many africans abroad do it to secure residential papers.If a man can date or marry a woman he can conviniently father, what is wrong with a woman dating a man than can also be as old as her son.
The time women were being considered as beings without equal rights with men is long gone.

[Akanbi Kehinde(UI)]

There is no law that stipulate the age a man or woman should marry each other.it is only our tradition here that those not go by it.the fact is that many nigerians has practice it and it has work for them and not for money or for a gain.however,a man can marry an older woman to him since they love each other and there is no external force included.

it actually depends on your definition for age, if ur love for her sees beyond her physical look then y not, even some older women are younger physically and in posture than some so called "under 21". To me older ladies cherish a younger husband than these younger ladies, they know what it takes to marry younger guy and they will do anything not to loose the man, I am talking from experience. please go for oldies.

Guy it is wrong dating or getting married to a woman older than you.

let us be sincere with ourselfs for the fact we men can date women that we are far older than then i see no reason why women can not date a man she is older what matters most is the true love and understanding they share to keep peace in the family,how responsible they are to each other......but to my own view women in that stage find it unconfortable for them dating a younger man,they feel ashame,women don;t feel free when are we going to wake up from our slumber....if am to be in that position my stands will be to take charge of the marriage.......one thing that matter most is the 2 side should forget their age difference and go straight to the business that brought them together.......i don;t beleive in age,tribe,or religion cos those things has nothing good to do with true love.please if yu are out there as a woman and yu find a responsible godfearing man young and ok please pray and go on with the marriage cos even older men that are married still go ahead to marry younger lady worth to be their daughter.please either men or women don;t go into marriage cos of materials things it;s dangerous.

[realgbemmie]

yeah young men can date older women cos they will surely be supportive in terms of understanding,caring and showing true love.....but the young men out there have turn it to be something else cos of the financial part of it this makes the women to stay back.even in the bible no where it talks abt marriage based on age so move ahead with it provided yu are not going into it to eat and run.

As a person I can't do it.It is kind of unAfrican & I think we should leave some these traditions the way they are .

The fact being neglected about the matter on is that,only an irrattional woman or one that lacks discipline will go for a man as far younger than 8,10 yrs(to be limited) & above.In relation to Africa's tradition,a well-disciplined woman will even be shamed to present such publicly cos it is a self mortifying,ignoble,disgraceful & shameful act.
Let us all collect the air in our environment & see if such women(rather known as sugar mummies) and men(ones i call gigolos)publicly disclose their act.Then consequently tell me if what you can do in public face is worth doing.
