I see some teens have answered this question. However, you asked for "Ladies only", so I presume you are referring to women, like me, not starry eyed teen girls.
Yes, I have dated one man older than myself, and I still am dating him. He is ten years older than I am. I never intended to seek out a man older than I, but age really made absolutely no difference as we are both adults with our own homes and careers. So, age, in our case does not matter. It has been five years and still counting.......................
EDIT, because you asked: I met him when I was 45 and I found out he was 55 on our 4th date. I had no idea he was 10 years my senior, because for one he did not look it and also because he was and still is, so young at heart.

Yes, I've dated guys older than me. In fact all but one guy was either the same age as me or older. In fact, I'm with a guy who's 8 years older than me now. I'm 20, he's 28. We met when I was 19 and he was 27. Considering I'm gonna be 21 in three months, we've been together quite a while I'd say. As for whatever became of it, we're engaged. He may be older than me, but honestly, no one can tell, because I present myself as being older intellectually, which is what attracted him to me in the first place. And unlike most age gap relationships where people think it won't work, we do. We have way more in common than I'd like, and my both our families love that we're together. Hope this answers your question.

He was 44 and I was 22. Wonderful while it lasted but I left because he lied to me about having a grandchild. To withhold that kind of info let me know he really did have some sort of insecurity about the age difference. We were exclusive for over a year and had a blast. It has been 13 years ago now and I honestly wish I hadn't wasted that year of my life when I was at such a peak in my life. I will always be open about age in relationships. I have friends from all different ages, backgrounds, ethnicity's, and social classes. I wouldn't have it any other way. People are people to me . I am beyond having my children and that would be the only other consideration there would be for me. Old or young doesn't matter. Some people say but then you will have to take care of him when he is old. Of course I would! That is what commitment is about. We never know if our young husbands are going to become incapacitated either. Why pass up the love of your life because you have a fear of the unknown?

I have a few times. Once when I was 18 and the guy was 29, another when I was 22 and he was 30, and another when I was 23 and he was 32. None of them worked out, older guys start out strong, full of optimism, excitement and passion, then they come down to earth, they also move at a faster rate than younger guys. It was kind of fun at the time, but in hindsight I'm into a guy closer to my age group. They are more secure in themselves too. I'm currently dating a guy who is 28 and I am 26, it is a good age difference.

I am 26 I dated a 31 year old a year ago and he wasn't my cup o tea. He had his own home but was a raging alcoholic and a bit of a pessimist. The last guy I went out with was 35 and he was perfect but I suppose too perfect for me. He called me 2x after our date but never got back in touch with me so I guess he was just as lame as the other guy. And you better be sorry for not adding more clarification to your question.

Yes. When I was 22, I had a boyfriend who was 55 at that time.
Now I'm dating a guy who is 42 (I'm 28).
I like being with older men. Young men are fine and everything but many of them are still insecure so it takes longer to do everything than older men. Older men don't waste their time. Very efficient and I like it!

I've enjoyed dating guys who were up to 5-6 years older than me. I've tried older than that, but didn't enjoy the dynamic. From my experience, guys who are outside of your generation often want to a) date you to still "feel young" and are often less personally mature than younger guys or b) play daddy and tell you everything to do.
However, it definitely works for some people. One of my good friends is with a guy who is older than her father. She likes to be spoiled and doesn't mind the "daddy factor." My neighbors who were very religious enjoyed the same -- she was very meek and married a much older man because it made her feel like she was living out her role. So, it all depends.

Yes I was 17 and he was 23 it didn't work out we just didnt have enough in common I was not even in college yet and he was done school and "looking" for a full time commitment from me and I was different when I was 17 I thought I wanted to meet the "one" right away and that beign in love was so important but I was too young and I knew it at the time I just got all caught up in the fantasy of it and how he made me feel... I was pretty naive at 17.

Yes, I have dated older guys. I only date older guys than me. It's weird to go out with a younger guy.

At 25 I dated a 40 300 and sixty 5 days old guy and thanks to our life reports we've been very properly suited. It incredibly relies upon on the region. the two you're fascinated in him and have chemistry or no longer. The older you get the asserting is actual- age incredibly is in basic terms a quantity. you're 2 legally elderly consenting adults, with chemistry and emotion, compatibility and admire, it is all that concerns.
