Dating a man 11 years younger...

[ApatheticNoMore]

My thoughts are the couples who were "deeply miserable together" would probably be about as miserable apart. But maybe that's because of the times. I mean they stay together deeply miserable, can't make the relationship work, and can't end it, it's really hard to see that the problem there as just the relationship.

along with her dog not liking this guy....

We have discovered that our dog "does not like" anyone with a hat on - so we might be reading more into their actions.

What about if you don't like dogs? I think dogs don't like you if you don't like dogs, they sense it .

I would be wary of anyone who doesn't like animals in general, so not liking mine would be a deal breaker. Fortunately that has never been a problem in my dating history; kindness is something I look for in a mate.

Awakenedsoul's dog is a German Shepherd and they are pretty darn perceptive. Highly intelligent and sensitive dogs...

I am dating a man eleven years younger than I am. He pursued me. I've always dated men my age, or older. I'm 50. He's 38. He turns 39 in February.

I googled "dating a man eleven years younger" and the threads are hilarious! All the women say the same thing. Apparently the chemistry in the bedroom is the best they've ever had. We're still getting to know each other as friends. I have a feeling that what I've I've read is going to be true in our case, too.

His father married a woman 11 years older than he is. My father is eleven years older than my mother.

I don't really notice the age difference. He's been married and raised children, I haven't. He's got master energy when it comes to plumbing and repairs. (He's a plumber and worked in construction before that.) I love cooking and baking, and he loves to eat. He's in excellent shape and so am I. We both love animals and live simply.

Have you ever dated a younger man? Or for men, an older woman?

Yes. I don't think it matters much. For me it ended up that while our chemistry and love of each other, we had very little in common and didn't share anything socially, musically, movies, culturally or friends. Some literature. So that proved the challenge there.

This made me laugh so loudly my cats were startled

It will be fun & interesting to see where life leads you-just enjoy. also my step son is a huge animal lover but one of my dogs that I got at age 6 months & not abused-spoiled rotten by first owner is scared to death of him 9 years later & will pee herself if he holds her. I think he reminds her or smells like someone she did not like from her past. The other 3 dogs love him.

As far as the personal attacks, I was referring to a lengthy post by packy that was removed. Most of you didn't see it, but I did. It was filled with sarcasm, mocking, and insults. I don't waste my energy on things like that. If someone defends that person, I skip over their posts, as well.[/QUOTE]

I certainly wasn't defending Packy - I was stating some facts and my opinion....which apparently you didn't care to hear.
I definitely won't be wasting any more of my time or energy responding to this or any of your future threads.
