What are your thoughts on that? , we get to see women dating older men and sometimes it works just fine, I am scared that she might get hurt, I mean it’s her life and her decisions, when they go out with our group they seem happy, she is in her 30’s and he is in his 20’s… she told me that he is very mature for his age 🤷🏻♀️…

Personally I would only date a man 7 years younger at the most, I don't want to deal with immaturity. But some older men are also immature. So it might work out.
I am not sure, i haven’t asked enough questions as I don’t want to seem that I don’t support her especially as her best friend and I definitely don’t want to put any negativity to it.
But for what I can see, he is very respectful to her, like when we go out. He is really into her and with the rest of her friends, he is very polite and kind.
So they seem pretty ok, however she also has a kid and he is aware of that and I don’t know 🤷🏻♀️..
I don’t want for her to waste time..
I was married to an older guy, he was so immature and narcissistic so did not work out that for me.
I personally would not date someone 14 year younger than me either as I have experience as I was the young one from the relationship.
I guess everyone is different too.
I worry for my friend here, maybe not my business but then what if she comes and tells me, you should’ve have said something before 😂 overthinking here

14 years is a huge age gap.
My husband is three years younger than me. I feel like I'm younger though.

My husband is younger than me I used to date older than me all the time, but they just didn’t work out

She’s just probably having a good ol fling and not looking for anything long term. Just support her. They may last they may not. Doesn’t matter. As long as she’s happy 💁🏻♀️ her toy boy for now lol. Lots of older women aren’t looking for anything “long term” they just want good sex, someone that makes them feel good, and companionship. I’m nearly 40 and men 28-35 try to pick me up in the salsa clubs lol. Its a huge ego boost to have those men still attracted, I guess. I wouldn’t worry for her, she’s probably having the time of her life lol.

As long as it’s consensual and they are both adults and he’s well above legal age which he is in his 20s. Just be happy your friend is happy.

I’m 7 years older than my husband. Before I met him I would’ve never even considered dating someone more than 2 years younger than me. As far as your friend goes, who says it has to work out long term? If they’re happy in the moment then there’s no problem. Be happy for her. And if it doesn’t work out, as her friend, be there to help her get over it.
how young is he? 😊
well he is 21 🤪, I am happy that sHe is happy of course.. I don’t want for her to get hurt, feelings are involved but you are right, her decisions her life.. 🙌

He had just turned 22 when we met. I’ve met 30-40 year olds with no maturity. I don’t think age really determines that. It kind of can, but not fully.
