My 20 year old friend is dating a 39 year old man?
My friend met a man at the car repair shop that they both take their cars. He is some kind of surgeon and she's a college student. She's really into him, but I'm worried about the age gap and don't want her to get disappointed. She basically raised herself and has always been smart and mature for her age. Lately though, she's been acting kind of dumb with some risky behaviors. She's been partying a lot and just a few weeks ago, she was having unprotected sex with her ex-boyfriend. They dated for over 5 years. He's 23 now and in a relationship with another woman and has a baby from a totally different woman. I'm worried about her judgment. He finalized his divorce 3 years ago from his wife of 12 years. He told my friend his wife couldn't stand being married to a workaholic. He makes good money and lives in a very nice apartment. He doesn't have children. My friend is very happy that he doesn't have children or want them because she doesn't want to have children either. She jokes that she's "attracted to his grey matter" and that when she's with him, she doesn't notice the age gap. I don't blame her for liking him. He seems like a great guy, although personally I think he looks like he's in his mid 40s. He's in pretty good shape. It's his face that looks older to me. He has some grey hairs too. Also, my friend looks very young for her age - maybe 15 or 16. When my friend first told me his age I kind of felt like woah! she's dating a grownup! I'm 19 myself, but this age gap just seems a little extreme to me. I put this question in singles and dating because I guess I'm wondering if this relationship is doomed for failure. I considered putting it into friends because I don't know how to tell my friend I'm worried about this. What are your opinions?
What does it mean when your crush's friends are looking at you but he's not?

When a friend of yours is wearing a wig and it's ugly, do you tell them?
I noticed it but rather liked it. Sorry.
I'm 27, he's 39...when does age play a difference and should it matter?
I'm 25 and currently dating a man who just turned 40. I'm not sure that I can give you any great advice... some people are okay with it, and others just arent. But I will say, for me, age has rarely made any difference. We have similar interests, similar friends, and most of the time I dont even realize he's older than me. We both work full-time in career jobs. I believe the most important thing is not the age, but whether you feel you're living in the same world as this person. If he is in a career job, financially independent, physically able to xx degree... do you match in most areas? If you're working in a temporary job (say fast food) and not stable yet, it's more likely age will become a problem. But if youre living similar lives, then it shouldnt be, imo. Good luck! And remember, even if you decide to date him, it doesnt mean youre stuck with him forever if it truly doesnt work out.
At 39 years old I've still never had a girlfriend, but people say "Life experiences happen when they need to happen." Is it true?
I got married at 45; my father did as well. Work on you, believe the women know you are there. When I was younger I was weak in the converstaional department, but I found out that if a woman likes you, it does not matter. Keep it light. Be a gentleman. Ask some ladies to dinner or better still to lunch. Is your wardrobe up to par. Don’t be pushy; open doors; hold chairs; clean-up your table manners; learn about wines; do not drink too much; walk them to the door; then go home; send them a small note; nothing mushy; just indicate you had a nice time. Flowers are for later. A relationship must 1st be built, then nurished. Women at your church are definitely looking; you do not need to be a theologian to discuss a biblical point; women at the club are a different type. In both scenarios just look/observe; then go home; then repeat. If you see the same people, give a casual wave(nod) and do more observation. NEVER, EVER have too much to drink, they are watching as well.
Why at 39 am I still single with a good job and can’t find a decent guy to have kids with?
I think you will have absolutely no trouble finding a great guy to marry at 39, but the chances of having your own biological children decrease significantly with age. I think there are windows of time with statistics that back it all up.20 to 29: This is the first wave of “starter marriages” or just first marriages that last for life. Women who marry between these ages have a lot to offer men who want to marry and have children. It’s prime time for bearing children in terms of biology/health. Most men marrying women in this age category are not concerned about her job/career.29 to 35: The is the second wave of later marriages for men who maybe are divorced but have no children and still want to start a family. Also, men who are divorced and have one or two children. Women in this age category may still have healthy children to add to the blended family.35 to 45: This is the stage when you will invariably be looking at being put in the step-mother role. After 35, most men are NOT viewing women as the mother of their biological child but maybe as a step mother. This has got to be a rough time period so I feel for you.45 and up: This is the stage when you can date men who have grown children or never had children — men who are maybe highly intelligent and intellectual and never had time to bother with women when they were younger. They are possibly looking at becoming grandparents and want a fun partner to enjoy life. At this stage, they also want a woman who will be there for the future when they get ill or grow old — someone nurturing and kind who will not drive off and forgot they left them at the library or the grocery store.So that’s pretty much it. Of course, you can still have children at 39 and many people do. I think my mom had my younger sister at that age. But how does the right man find you? I think that’s where spirituality comes into play. You don’t really know your future. If it’s meant to be, he will find you. If not, let it go. Just be a good person and accept that you can’t force love/marriage and children into this material plane. You don’t write the script to your own life as much as you might assume. As far as decent men, start by wasting no time on narcissists so you have time to date the good guys. See related: Taming Lilith: The Narcissist Seduction.
Do girls dig a 5 o'clock shadow?
it depends if it compliments your face or not, some guys look good with it some dont, also depends on your style if youre some artist or something then you need to have it to show you dont care about anything, but if youre more professional and want to get ladies like that, then you should be clean shaven, hope this helps!
I am 39, and am so not looking forward to turning 40. Is a good life possible after 40?
When I was turning 40, my life was a mess. I’ve lost my job and started hard and stressful freelance life. Very tight with money. I had a miscarriage. My marriage was falling apart. My husband… well, let’s just say I felt very ugly, fat, old and unwanted. And also - my father died when he was 40 so, with all my existential crisis, I felt some new fears - of death.Well… it all didn’t look nice. I honestly thought that it was all over. That it will just go downhill from there, and not for very long.Then, life took over… with a little of my help. I had a 3y old son and I figured that I can’t surrender to that depressing feeling. I pushed myself to go out with him more, to teach him things. Also tried to spend more time with friends, to go to therapy as much as I could afford. A little better. I’ve discovered there’s still a lot of optimism in me. I’ve started to learn to avoid mean comments and toxic fights from my husband, and dark thoughts about death. I simply worked more. I started to feel there is so much more I can give. New ideas came. I felt my brain is still awake. And just small random flirtation from a random man made me open my eyes completely - so, I’m also not actually old, ugly and unwanted? It’s not over yet?All new feelings came. I figured out that I’m a fighter, strong, that I’m actually - great. Finally I started thinking good about myself, in all aspects or life. Remebered all my successes. And wrote them down to not forget them, ever. When I figured that out, when I finally started to LOVE and RESPECT myself it all started to make sense. And to get a lot better.Yes, I tried for 3 more years to fix bad relationship, there were bad moments, bad thoughts, but never like before. Finally I had myself and knew my worth. And with that, you attract and create whole new environment.Now, aproaching 47, in a happy and loving new relationship with a great man, 2 sons, many friends, satisfying job and my internal peace, I really can say life begins at 40. Even 90 doesn’t seem frightening. Stay strong, love yourself.
