Success Happy

can a relationship between man 3 years younger than a woman be successful and long lasting?

both work in the same field, but, because of age gap woman is more confident and successful. Also, don't you think that even if they marry , it likely to fail as men tend to go after younger woman when they get older? please comment if you have ever seen a relationship like this becoming successful.

1. Yes it is perfectly fine if they get along and they love each other. My aunt was 10 years older than her husband and they lasted.
2. yes three years is nothing
3. yes,, as long as they both love each other and ready to give a commitment x
4. I know a guy who married a woman 8 years older than he is. She has more education than he has. And she earns more money. And they've been married for many years now. Three years isn't much of a difference, especially when people get older. But if she is more confident and assertive than he is. Then he must be willing to live with that, no matter how old or how young his wife is.
5. If they really love each other it will work. 3 years isn't to much and if they work in the same field it isn't like one is a total bum and the other is taking care of them. They both seem to have their heads on straight. The only thing that could keep it from working would be if the consonantly thought about the age difference but if they just didn't worry about it I don't see why it couldn't work like any other relationship. If the man loves her than he wont worry about younger women.
6. Three years isn't much of an age gap, if both people are adult, and I know several couples where the woman is a bit older than the man. The problem would only be if the guy felt jealous of the woman being more successful than he is at the moment. As for men chasing younger women, when they get older, that's stereotyping and not all guys do this - only the idiots who are so insecure that they need an ego boost !
7. If you both love each other then it can last no matter wat age difference there is.
8. A age difference of that size is nothing to worry about. I can't understand why some guys still insist on their girlfriends being younger than themselves. They're limiting themselves without any need, what's the big deal anyway. I know girls who are more mature at the age of 17 than others are at age 29. Same goes for guys obviously. So as long as both love each other, age is just another number, like the size of your shoes. Nice to know, but not really important.
9. 3 years? Dude, the only reason why younger man older woman relationships fail is because there is a big difference in age if they have nothing in common! 3 years!? You 2 are in the same age bracket and generation! The music,history,and everything else with you 2 are the same! It's not like you're 25 and she's 55! And no most men dont tend to after a younger woman, unless he likes young women (like R.Kelly). You'll get old at pretty much the same rate as she will. And if the career thing doesnt bother her and she wants to spend her time and money with you, relax and be happy! If not, give her my e-mail address and i'll take over for you!
10. age is just a number its whats in each others heart that count
11. Depends on the couple but personally I don't see a three year age gap as a problem. I would be more concerned if it were a 13 year age gap.
12. yes, 3 years is nothing. I am with a Man who is 3 years youunger than me. he is loving, caring, considerate, and is not at all intimidated by me being older, confident, and more educated. its actually a motivation for him. If you stay looking good and a good woman and he is not a dog he won't go anywhere. if you ask me i said i never wanted to date a younger guy but they are easier to train. they are more impressionable. only thing they want to be around you a whole lot.
