Older woman and younger man: Can the relationship work?
There seems to be a stigma around older women dating younger men. If put in the situation, do you think the relationship could work?
I was recently at a wine tasting and you know what it’s like after a few glasses of wine, you start to become a little more honest, am I right or what?!

So, this woman sitting next to me (I’ll keep her name anonymous because I know she listens to the show) starts opening up to the table about how she’s recently divorced and now she’s looking to get back out onto the dating scene.
She’s 42, which as far as I’m concerned is not old at all. However, I must add that she has a huge leaning towards younger men. And when I say younger men, I’m talking about guys that are in their early 20s.
For me, I'm on the fence about this one. I mean, everyone deserves to be in a relationship where they are loved and cherished. However, I'm not too sure about an older woman dating someone young enough to be their son?
But is it really as bad as everyone makes it out to be? Can a relationship between a woman in her 40s and a guy in his early 20s work?
