You're doing it right. I'm 33 and would love to be able to pull a 21 year old. No shame at all. Any man would love to be in your position. It's only the middle aged women who have a problem because they are jealous the 20-something year old looks way better than them.
I was 60 dating a 27 year old. Anyone who had an issue with the age gap was jealous.
Older women because I was dating a younger woman and most men were like- way to go!!!
How did you pull that off? Give some details: Is she attractive? What about you: Are you wealthy? Gym maxed? Looks maxed? How did you meet? What happened to relationship?
I will say this: If she's attractive and you're not wealthy - that's quite an accomplishment.
I have some acquaintances at the gym who are middle-aged guys that have gym & looked maxed (TRT, hair transplants, some minor plastic surgery, etc) who are pulling women in the mid to late 20s range. But they all have $$$ and use that as leverage.
So I'm a 34yo guy who usually dates women my age or even a couple years older (I am mature for my age partially because I was surrounded by people older than me growing up). However, I went out with a 25yo about 2 months ago now, and we hit it off immediately. Not only is there a lot of physical chemistry, but we both genuinely like each other a lot, and honestly, she's WAY more mature than the vast majority of women I've gone out with. For instance, I dated a 34yo for 6 months about a year ago, and this new girl is far more mature and with it than that woman was... It's easy for me to forget the age difference because I never think about it. We talk and do things and have fun. Everything has been great so far (though of course it's still early).
All that being said, and I really don't care about this but am just wondering what to expect, will people think it's weird at all given the 9 year age gap? I know there are bigger gaps out there, but 9 is by far the largest I've ever had. Anyone been in a relationship like this around this age? Does anyone care these days?
If you’re having fun then good on you guys. No shame in that.
But a 9 year age gap means you two are at much different points in life. Just know that you may be much closer to wanting to “settle down” than she is, which may determine how far the relationship goes.
Of course this is based off of age and gender related stereotypes. Maybe you’ll both want the same things at the same time. It’s just that the odds of that happening are lower when there’s such a large age gap.
This thread has become weird. Not fun and enjoyable like the others. The others was like walking around with a warm and cozy poncho vs this one: freezing in a 3 inch shorts doing repeaters on a track, trying to overlook the slight niggle in your knee.
I will not name names for who is responsible.
Us true DGR fans shall live in dispair untill order is restored. I suspect it will take, at least, a plate of eggs consumed in a car, a session below 1 km of running but above 1 hour of driving and the sacrifice of a sponsored product with a True Missus gleefully looking at the carnage.

Why was this suddenly posted here? The plot thickens.

I can't tell you what other people will think, but here's what I think...
Absolutely nothing wrong. When we're talking 25 and 34, the 9-year age difference isn't a big deal. IF she were 20 and still in college (or not in college) and you were 29, then I would have a different opinion.
The ONLY issue you have is if you decide to have biological children with this woman. The older either of you are from age 35, the greater risk there is to the health of any children you produce. You could risk it. You could decide not to have children. You could adopt.
As far as you being with her regarding your age difference though, I see no issue.

And no Flagpole isn't a moderator.
Ok people, you heard it from the man himself. I'm not a moderator. I also have never been a moderator, and no way in hell would I ever decide to be a moderator here, and Letsrun wouldn't want me as a moderator anyway, and I don't blame them.
If I WERE a moderator here, all the Trumper nonsense and anti-vaccine nonsense and right-wing conspiracy theory nonsense and racist sh!t that stays up longer than it should would be removed and posters would be banned left and right for spreading lies and misinformation and bad vibes.
