| age gap Posted: 1/15/2006 1:56:14 PM | | I think dating with age gaps has a lot to do with the maturity of both people. When I was 20 I was dating a guy who was 31. I really liked him and wanted to get serious but he did not. He was the one who was always fooling around and coming around when it was good for him. We broke up shortly after I turned 21. I met another got and things were going great then the 31 year old decided he wanted to come back for a while to play me again. I couldn't believe it. So it's not always the younger one who can keep things together. I think both people need to be at a certain stage of life | |

| age gap Posted: 1/15/2006 2:32:48 PM | | funkinrock go for it if she makes you happy, why not, I have the same problem with men in the respect that they have let themselves go, but it doesn't matter if they have kids, and you might be more interesting if you aren't partying all the time because you might remember whatever is was that you were talking about in the first place. | |

| age gap Posted: 1/15/2006 2:40:05 PM | For those of you arguing for a twenty year age gap, let me be the voice of reason here.
What happens to them when you die, and they are still young ? They now have a long life in front of them, while you sit on the shelf in that urn.
Seems a bit selfish to me, just my opinion. | |

| age gap Posted: 1/15/2006 2:47:46 PM | My parents have an 18 year age difference. When they ere younger they got along great. They really enjoyed themselves when my dad first retired at 65 . . . .
Fast forward 20 years. Now my dad is 85 and my mom is 67. I cannot tell you how big that age difference has become. My mom is still vibrant and energetic and loves to travel, while my dad suffers from the aches and pains common of his years and likes to sit in his comfortable chair reading. They cannot get along anymore and they have absolutely nothing in common. They do not like the same food, movies, books or leisure activities.
You need to keep in mind that the differences that are comfortable now when you are younger can be excruciating when you are older. I think for many people it would be more comfortable to grow old WITH your partner, not BEFORE your partner. | |

| age gap Posted: 1/15/2006 2:53:18 PM | well hope it's a pretty urn..and I went with a smile on my face! Look through some of the profiles many men won't consider a woman their age ! The younger handsome, wonderful ,adorable men are less worried about age | |

| age gap Posted: 1/15/2006 3:02:17 PM | I would bet that Indi and I have a desire to go in the same manner. Selfish to our partners, but only one way to go , and I think she and I both will have the stamina to outlive many. | |

You wrote: IF I WAS looking for a mate, doing so past 60 is the mark of an old fool.
As someone over 60, I agree that if a man my age is looking for a long-term serious relationship leading to marriage with a 25 year old, he is acting the fool. What I have found interesting is that women close to my age (55-65) are generally not interested in someone my age, prefering men 40-50. Since there are few, if any, 80 year old women on this site who might be interested in a 60-65 year old man, what are men my age to do? Personally, I am not interested in a woman under 50 or over 68. I would prefer someone around 60. But as I said, those women want younger men. Go figure! And when I look at women who are 48-53, their profiles indicate that men my age are outside their preference. So how do we solve the age problem? I don't think we can. Not until everyone grows up. The most useless thing on a 25 year old girl is a man about my age!  | |

| age gap Posted: 1/15/2006 7:27:39 PM | | Where the heck can a guy find a younger lady. I am 47 would love to find a lady 10 15 20 years younger than I am. So I say go for it dude and ladies look me up wink. | |
|
| age gap Posted: 1/15/2006 7:32:21 PM | | age gap is nothing if you can find a young girl that does not mind that you are older and some women do like that. I wish you lots of luck you seem like a nice guy | |
|
| age gap Posted: 8/13/2007 8:48:15 PM | | I'm 22 and the last guy I dated was 38. I see nothing wrong with bigger age gaps, but lots of young women are money grubbing whores - so watch out. :) | |
|
| age gap Posted: 8/13/2007 10:24:11 PM | It almost seems like the more profiles you read on here the women in there 40 are looking for the 30 some boy toy to help them look young again anyways . So i see no difference if the tides are turned on the women as well. I would say each person has there own personal values they have to deal with and if yours are looking for the younger female go for it . Just make sure she can keep up cause as men get older the women our age cannot keep up in the bedroom anymore (bett that gets a rise hey).  | |

| age gap Posted: 8/13/2007 10:35:54 PM | I've never let age be a factor in who I spend my time with. I like all ages. When I was in my 30's and in a singles group I spent a lot of time around much older women. They were better dancers and often much more likeable. Quite a few were in far better shape and were much healthier than some of the 20 somethings.
Age is what you make of it. I must admit however I've got underwear on older than some of the gals I see in bars. | |

| age gap Posted: 9/7/2007 11:54:12 AM | | Im 36 and the 2 long term partners I have had have both been my age! but now im finding I get on better with women who are younger or older than me and find i have more i comon with them! so if it works and last forever age is nothing apart from numbers!!! | |

| age gap Posted: 9/7/2007 12:10:03 PM | Here's a quetion for you? What about a woman who dates a man younger than herself? Not that much younger, only a couple years, give or take but still younger. How do people feel about that?
 | |

| age gap Posted: 9/7/2007 12:29:44 PM | Hey, here's an idea! How about dating people that we like and are attracted to, and forget about age. I have a strong preference for men within 5 years of my age, plus or minus, but if I met someone significantly older or younger and we clicked, you better believe I would be pursuing the relationship. If it didn't work out because of the age difference, then so be it, but chemistry isn't necessarily confined within a certain age group. Older men rock. So do young hotties  | |
|
| age gap Posted: 9/7/2007 12:35:04 PM | Personally, I draw the line at a certain age simply because "I" personally think to much about how I would look if I was 60 and she was for example 40. In truth, I believe I will look pretty good but I want to be fair to her. She may like me now, but what about 20 years from now. It's not worth the chance. I am NOT saying it isn't possible. Love works in mysterious way.... but so does a broken heart.
To each his own. | |

| age gap Posted: 9/7/2007 12:36:24 PM | | ^^^Now there's a very healthy attitude towards this never-ending debate. Aren't dating and finding a good relationship hard enough without throwing up arbitrary obstacles? Evaluate the person, not the birth certificate. | |

| age gap Posted: 9/7/2007 12:51:43 PM | | If you are attracted to a twenty-five year old,,, what are you going to do when she turns to twenty -six,,,,????? hmm I think if you examined your behaviour you are 25 in both behaviour and cognitive abilities and primarily exhibiting states of arousal for a particular age group... this is scary indeed. Even to logically consider the successful numbers in a relationship between two consenting adults of the same age we all know that the numbers are a third and of these I am sure you could again split into a third as to healthy and vibrant connections,,, Anyone who cannot think out the consequences of even pursuing this type of union needs help.... There are rare cases of large age differences making for long term happy unions but they are very,very, rare... I find it disturbing when people have a fixation of arousal to a certain age group ,, and I also do not find it flattering to be messaged daily myself by young men on fish... it is annoying .. I guess if I did not fill my well informed brain which I utilize daily I might run around filled to the brim with pretention to think my outer housing is all that ,,, but it is what you do with your life that matters not how you look,,,, and you mister are heading (pun included) toward disaster,,, in more ways than one,,, | |

| age gap Posted: 11/25/2007 12:46:25 PM | | ummmmmmm, isnt it past your bedtime, lots of sleep is good to grow a big brain so you can put lots and lots of good knowlege into it.....and then you can decipher which is good knowlege and which is very bad knowlege... | |
|
| age gap Posted: 11/25/2007 12:48:03 PM | | as long as the interest, commonalities and chemistry is there, i reckon it could be fun | |
