Posted: 11/18/2004 9:39:43 PM | My present boyfriend has just turned 50 and I am 30. Cool gap, right?
Oh well, it's a complete package. I already have a smart lover, a comfy daddy & and a very supportive friend...
But hey, don't know why he won't still marry me.  But it's all OK, love is all that matters... Come what may...
I salute older men. They never get old actually. They can always be young at heart too!!! | |

and what surprised the publishers was not that it came back 34-40-36
but rater 95/105/1.2
when questioned to what that measurement was..the women replied
a 95 year old man, with a 105 degree temperature with 1.2 billion in the bank..

Posted: 11/19/2004 5:44:52 PM | The only time I dated someone my own age was in Grade School. I've only had a few relationships all fairly long term and all of them with women that were 12 years younger than I am (or more). I'm really not sure why that has worked out this way. I've always been excessively active maybe that's been the main factor.
My Dad is 17 years older than my mother is and we have a big family, no problems there ;)
Now that this thread really had me thinking about it, I don't think I really considered the age at the time I was asking someone out it just worked out that they were a lot younger. Kind of makes me wonder if I've been missing anything ;) | |

Posted: 11/19/2004 8:34:47 PM | | I think it depends on the person. I was married for 20 years to a man that was 9 years older than me. I was 19 and he was 28 when we married. He died when I was 39. That was sad. I think when you find that special someone that makes you all bubbly inside and sharing time together is like an air balloon ride, and you can't imagine every not being in that person's arms, well you're home and you better hold on tight. And forget what the calendar says or anyone else for that matter. Hope this helped. Best Wishes and I hope all of you have your dreams come true. Shelley | |

Posted: 11/20/2004 8:54:59 AM | I am or am getting close to being an older man (53). I spent 17 years married to a woman 10 years younger then me and we never had any problems that were age based. That might not always be true if the 2 people are younger (say 20 and 30) because they are pretty often moving in different directions in their lives.
Sine I have been alone I have dated a woman older than I am (and she was wonderful for those dates) and I have dated a couple of women much younger than I am (yes there are some young ladies who adore men over 50).
The age difference is not a problem in my mind ... but those age differences often mean that a lot of things tend to be incompatible. Get over them and you should be OK ... even if you get funny looks from some people ... is that is daughter? | |

Posted: 11/20/2004 10:39:52 AM | | I like dating older men, I like to date a guy with old fashioned values, a mature guy who has his life together. Though i would date a younger guy if he had his life together. I have met young and older still living with their parents, total turn off. I will not date an older guy if he looks old and doesnt take care of himself. I think the big thing, is how im treated. Though i dated one younger guy and he acted like an idiot in public, i was so embarrassed. Im still kind of open minded, but will stick with men from 30-42, im 33 so at least if i date a 30 year old they will know what im talking about when i bring up stuff from my younger years such as music and collecting whacky packs. nykk | |

Posted: 11/21/2004 6:38:52 PM | Oldest I ever dated was 20 yrs older and that was when I was 28. I have only dated one guy younger and that was 2 yrs younger and only because he acted older than his age. Otherwise my first husband was 9 yrs older than me. Choose older due to the maturity level...sure I like to party once in a great while but kinda outgrowing it...more less want a house with a big porch with a good man to sit and converse with on warm nites. One word of advice I got once...never marry someone you can't have a conversation with..because in the long run that's what will count the most.
Oh and men age wonderfully...nothing better than a man with salt/pepper hair. | |

Posted: 12/1/2004 9:57:55 AM | | Dating older men definitely has its advantages and I am so glad they are out there because they treat us women so well, a good portion of them do. I have dated a few older guys in my time and found them to be entertaining, exciting, experienced, etc. Of course too, I dated some that were not the best because they were with somebody else and seeing me at the same time. There was one in particular that really hurt me and I am still recovering from this because he played me, he broke my heart, and it felt like I was being used for one thing. I went through much with this guy and it lasted four years off and on. I was crazy enough to allow this to go on in the first place and when it came to birthdays, christmas, etc, the other woman was spoiled and I got nothing. He did not take me out on any dates, he always showed up late at my house after the bar, etc. I was crushed to pieces and he played me all the way. I felt humilated, embarrassed, and so hurt. He kept saying he was leaving this other relationship, he never did. This was when I finally decided enough was enough and month later I signed up with POF. I have met a few older men from here who were real gentlemen and I want to thank you for treating me so well. I am cautious and will be because I do not ever want to go through this again. Dating older men has many advantages and they are out to please me too. At least this is what I have seen thus far with the older men on POF. I have not encountered anything negative. | |

Posted: 12/1/2004 4:04:17 PM | | LMAO,,East Bay. What difference does it make when ya aint interested in the women anyhow except to BS, and eliminate personal contacts? I know the score. I aint entirely stupid, and know better than to expect a younger woman or an older one to be crazy enough to be in the dark with me. So I make encounters impossible. No disappointments, no complaints. | |

Posted: 12/4/2004 1:20:18 PM | Lorna Jane - I want to move to Scotland... You definately do not look your age....
Ok, so I am an "older" male... that is simply a number... I feel it should be about the person, I will fully admit that I tend to look to women younger than myself... why? Well... this is going to seem somewhat shallow... but it seems (at least based on the ones found here and other dating forums, in my area --- maybe I should move) that most of the ladies I find either on line or in person... look their age or older... and tend to act even more so... those I have met seem to have lost the playfullness, they have forgetten how to have fun... I like dancing, singing karoke, playing in the rain, having a water fight, camping, swimming, volleyball, have a soap bubble fight... SUre I can be serious, but I try not to... too many people have grown OLD... I don't want to... I still see magic in the world, magic in love... and never want to stop...
My daughter thinks it is a blast to hang with me, shoot pool, have a few drinks, play darts, both of them for that matter... I can easily hang with the 20 somethings and 30 somethings and find that I have more in common with them (in some respects) than I do those my own age. Don't mind loud music, don't mind silliness, don't mind being a kid at heart...
Gals that have kids? THey are all looking for (or so they say) someone that will accept kids, perhaps help raise them, like kids, realize that the kids come first... Some of us that are older, would willingly shoulder that responsibility, we have already raised some, we know what to expect, generally we have the patience to truly be of help... plus a world of other qualities that we can offer..... and yet, I have been shunned for being a year or two outside thier "range"
In any case... my best advice to all those out there... Look at what the person has to say, look at their picture... if they interest you... get to know them better... see if there is a spark, if the magic happens... Don't be put off by an arbitrary number... you are doing them a grave injustice... and just may be missing out on something that you were really looking for all along.
I will also say that I have went the other way... I met a very nice lady, much my senior, though she did not look or act it (which makes sense), the only reason, THE ONLY reason we did not take it further, was simply a matter of logistics... 500 miles is a difficult obstacle to overcome... especially when both have houses and family... shame to... oh well... we keep stroking on... | |

Old enough to know better, too young to resist and ornery enough not to give a d*mn one way or the other... | |
