life help: Can a 18 year old female be with a 46 year old man…….and why or why not? - Help.com

I guess so

It could be but then it’s not good to look that a 18 years old lady will be married with 48 years old man.

i think thats sorta nasty but i mean if u love him then go ahead!

you CAN because it’s legal.

Well… technically, you can do whatever (and whoever) you want once you’re of the age of consent. As to whether or not that relationship would work out long term? Eh… possible but doubtful. Keep in mind, when the girl is 30 (still relatively young and hale) the man is going to be almost 60. If they have children, say when she’s in her twenties, give it a nice even 25, by the time the kids are 18 the father is going to be 71. That would be like having a Grandfather for a father - doable, of course, and it doesn’t mean that it wouldn’t work out… but there will be very unique problems that would accompany such a relationship.

I would say be careful and keep thinking over the possible ramifications of that kind of an age difference. But in the end- it’s your call, and there is no guarantee that it will work out one way or the other.

If the two love eachother, then yes it’s fine.

lol, you have a thing for older men eh?

You like them wrinkling, salty, ashy eh?

brad pitt aint hot

i didn’t say he is. i just said he’s not bad. i mean, he doesn’t seem wrinkling, salty and ashy to me. as another post said. ;)

eww! stop talking about older guys its nasty!

Long term, it almost certainly won’t work. There is simply too much difference in experience and outlook. This is coming from someone who is 48. Personally, I won’t go out with a woman who is younger than 35, and I prefer them to be in their 40s. And yes, I like their wrinkles and gray hair.

If your friend just wants to have fun, then why not? She shouldn’t expect the relationship to be permanent, however.

By the way, not all men in their 40s are “wrinkling, salty, ashy.” Some of us take care of ourselves. I’m 5′ 11″, 155 pounds, 12% body fat, and in better shape than I was in my 20s.

Is your friend’s mom single? :)

I have two things to say on this as a woman…

When I was 19 and getting divorced I dated men from a wide range of age groups including a guy who was 47. Ray was a really good friend and his kid didn’t mind hanging out with us to go swimming or bowling or whatever. It was fun… It lasted exactly one summer and never really got serious.

I’ve since discovered I prefer younger men. Starting about my age and going down about 4-5 years which is pretty much the point where we no longer have similar growing up stories. I’m not even sure I’d know what to do with an 18 year old at this point.
