Posted: 3/2/2006 8:58:08 AM | | I believe that age is just a number in which people can judge your intelligence. I am 21 dating a 31 year old and he just got out of a relationship with a 36 year old woman and says that I am far more responsible and intelligent and that I don;t play games. So I think you can't judge by age because life experience makes people seem older or younger than they really are!!!! | |

In fact, I'm generally attracted to MUCH older men. | |

Posted: 3/2/2006 2:07:48 PM | I think, and I will speak personally; i couldn't have a real mature relationship until I was in my 30's. I think that is generally true true for most men, society kind of stunts us with the emotional closed-offness it delivers (boys don't cry, don't hug, to talk about feelings, etc). But I find Women mature a lot quicker, and thus for a real relationship I think Women need to look for someone who managed to mature early or is 30 'ish.. but exceptions abound.
but for fun... any age is a go.. have fun, life is too short. | |

Posted: 3/7/2006 8:52:23 AM | Well, I've had it both ways. When I was a teenager (17-18), I "dated" several older women in their late 30's and had wonderful no strings attached relationships. Now that I'm an old fart, I find women that are substantially younger than me (18-25) desiring my companionship and company.
I think a great deal of the age gap attraction is driven by a thirst for knowledge and a desire to know what is out there while some is fostered by a desire for comfort and security. | |

Posted: 3/7/2006 8:59:10 AM | | When i was a young man (20), i shortly dated that woman who was 37. As I was very mature for my age and she was still young at hearth,,things went well. Age is just a number. What is in the mind that count. | |

Posted: 3/7/2006 9:09:53 AM | within the decade for sure. I never understood the young tart, old man or the old fart, young girl thing. It just seems that they'd have nothing in common other than him worshipping her body and her wanting security. Maybe I'm wrong - perhaps I'm jaded after reading so much on Anna Nichole Smith..lol.

Posted: 3/27/2006 7:32:44 PM | I believe age differences can be a huge disadvantage. Life experience differences can make things very difficult. just the other day i was talking to a lady that said she was 6 years older than her husband. When they got married he was only 20, and she liked to go dancing at the bars. He of course couldn't go because he was to young. That would be tough.
You also have to consider why two people choose to be life partners. It's so they can spend time experiencing life together. They want to share in eachothers life and experiences. So if one partner has already experienced it all, then there in an imbalance in the relationship. One person is going to get short changed!! | |

i date between 25-34...i dont usually date younger guys for maturity reasons..
...which is why I think after about 25 or so, it matters much less. I'm 36. I'd date just about as young as 26...not because I have a 10-year limit, but that's about when people enter "our" state of adulthood.
But, everyone is different. You're mileage may vary. If you're 40 and your SO is 18 and it turns out to be true love, hey, more power to ya!

Posted: 3/27/2006 7:53:33 PM | as O-t-b said....it's up to the people involved. There's no rules...just people's comfort levels.
I do think that there are many different ages. There's chronological age, mental age & physical age and people very much vary with all three. Some age way before their time and vice versa. | |

Posted: 3/27/2006 7:58:43 PM | Back when I was 42, I went out with a 19 year old so I see nothing wrong with dating a younger or older person... The only problem I had was in trying to keep up with her... It depends on the two people...and as for "what is accepted and what is not, what is "in" or "out"," who gives a rats behind... If it feels good do it and acceptance be darned...

Posted: 4/7/2006 11:29:57 AM | I really don't think that age is a big deal, with one obvious exception. As women age, fertility becomes more of an issue. My previous profile, clearly stated that I wasn't having more kids. Before I met my sweetie, I specified an age range of 25-45, but I did not adhere to it, strictly. I had coffee last summer, with a guy who was 19. He was sweet, but not my idea of LTR material.
Maturity does not come equally to us all, time-wise. We all have differing time-frames, for our personal growth. Emotional compatability comes in many different, surprising packages. | |

Posted: 4/7/2006 11:36:51 AM | EASY:
Devide your social security number by your E.Q, substrac your age difference, add her maturity age, multiply by the number of people who will tell you it's wrong, redevide by your years of scholarship, substrac her year left, add your income for the year and then devide once more by your medicare number....
After that, throw all to the garbage! If both of you are happy togheter..who care!

Posted: 4/8/2006 9:39:58 PM | I like younger women because older women are not into most of the same things I am. I listen to most kinds of music but my favorite music tends to be Goth bands and I love to see a woman with black nails and lipstick, or a denim mini-dress and halter top and lots of tattoo's. My two biggest turn on's are "Goth women" and "Biker Babes". VERY FEW women my age are into looking like either. Those are only a couple of differences, there are many more, please note my profile. It reads more like someone closer to their 20's than someone in their 50's.... I would love to find an older woman who likes the same things I do.
I have a friend my age who I share expenses with, (purely a platonic relationship), who likes some of the things I do, but even she isn't into most of the stuff I like or want to do any of it. And she is the only woman my age I have met so far who is even that compatable. The only ones who do are way younger than I am.
I have tried to change to be what women my age want, but hated every second of it. I would rather be lonely by myself and be myself, than change and be someone I am not just to be with someone. That is the most important thing I have found in a relationship. That old saying that opposites attract is a bunch of bull. To me, sharing a lot of the same interests is much more important. When you have little to nothing in common, it is very hard to have and keep a relationship.

Posted: 5/4/2006 5:56:36 PM | | I date younger men, they can keep up to me, I teach children, hang around with a young staff, most people my age don't want to do what I want to do. I have had several young guys, aged 21-24 really comeon to me, but I just laugh, and warn them that I would hurt them... I need a man, so, 5-7 yrs younger is just about perfect, as long as he is young at heart as well, and has a quick sense of humour.... later........ | |

Posted: 5/4/2006 7:17:45 PM | | Well it depends on which way things were. For me if she's the younger then 5 years is the max. If She's the older one then 10 years is the max. | |

Posted: 5/4/2006 9:25:58 PM | | That’s a tough decision. The younger the lady, the more of a stud you are to the world. The older the lady, the more of a stud you are to her. | |

Posted: 5/4/2006 9:38:34 PM | | funny I've always heard that it's more normal for a younger lady to date an older man... simply because women mature faster | |

Posted: 5/4/2006 11:27:48 PM | Robert Heinlein once wrote "A man should marry a woman that is half his age plus seven years'.
People keep nagging that I should stick with women in my age group. I would, but I can't stand Oldies music and Flannel Night Gowns. Ie. Most women in my age group are Boring Stiffs.
Women as young as 23 have written me. That's Way too Young. At 51, Let's see, Hmmm,
31 1/2, Nope. 36, Maybe. Right around then is when a woman begins to appreciate a good Moustache Ride. Hee Hee | |
