What’s it like to date (and sleep with) a man more than 20 years your senior? Cosmopolitan.com spoke to four women to find out.
- Have you ever dated an older man?
- Woman A: Many times, yes!
- Woman B: Yes.
- Woman C: Yes, I am dating one. I should also clarify he is my first relationship. I’ve had crushes and done the odd online date, but I’d never dated seriously before.
- Woman D: Yes.
- How old were you? How old was he?
- Woman A: The longest lasting of these relationships started when I was 18 and he was 40.
- Woman B: I was 23 when we started dating and he was 39.
- Woman C: Twenty-six and 45.
- Woman D: I was 17 and he was 35. However, we didn’t start dating until I was 18 and he was 36.
- And how old are you now?
- Woman A: Thirty-five.
- Woman B: Twenty-seven and he recently turned 42 (we’re still together).
- Woman C: Still 26.
- Woman D: Thirty.
How did you meet?
Woman A: I was working in retail at the time, and he was a customer.
Woman B: I rented a flat in the backyard of his then-girlfriend. We discovered we had a lot of interests in common and became good friends. They split up around 2009 and I didn’t hear from him for 18 months. We got back in contact and I realized how much I missed having him in my life. We started dating and it developed into a relationship shortly after.
Woman C: In church, of all places.
Woman D: We met initially at a mutual friend’s house. My friend (who was my age and in high school with me) worked at a ski resort near us. Her older brother had invited a bunch of the people they worked with at the mountain over and I happened to be there. The next time we ran into each other was when I went to interview for a job in the ski resort’s lift department, which he happened to be in charge of.
