Posted: 3/6/2006 9:50:15 AM | | Are you kidding me? she is 24- i'm 35 , last one i was 34 she was 20. it has nothing to do with age, it is how good you look and how well you take care of yourself. lift weights and cardio. drink 12 glasses of springwater daily. this will keep you young. dress to the nines all the time if you leave the house to go out . because first impressions means only one shot. | |

Posted: 3/7/2006 9:17:59 AM | general rule: ideally men in a relationship are 10 years older than women.
if it's only 9years of age diffence, that's still ok, 1 year minus doesn't count that much | |

Posted: 3/14/2006 5:44:15 AM | Personally I think it is how the other person makes you feel. I myself use to feel that dating a man 5 yrs older or 5yrs younger was just right for me, but now I have different outlook on that. I am 38 and in the past year I have dated men who were anywhere from 4 yrs younger to the most resent being 12 yrs older than myself. Age is only a number in my book.
Well the only problem I would have is if my 17yr son dated a woman 50 right now...thats when I would have a problem! lol | |

Posted: 3/14/2006 5:55:25 AM | I recently got married again for the second time .. My new hubby is 17 years older than I am.
I now have a stepson who is only a year and 2 weeks younger than me and I also have a step grandson who is 6 months younger than MY son.
Age really doesn't mean much as you get older, it's what your heart says that matters unless you are very conscious about what people say.
If that person makes you feel alive .. I say go with it and LIVE!!!!!!!!

Posted: 3/14/2006 9:50:57 AM | | I don't see a problem with it, my ex's husband is 15 years older than her and they seem to get along pretty good. If anything she is more mature then he is. I have dated women 15 years younger and it was not a problem. I go on dates now with someone that is 15 years younger, its more on the friends type thing be we have so much fun together when we're out. We have a ball no matter what we're doing, so your 9 yr difference is not too much. Have fun and don't even worrie about it. | |

Posted: 3/14/2006 12:53:58 PM | Large age differences can become a stress factor, but doesn't have to be one, if both people are mature, have common interests, chemistry, and genuinely care for one another. I have seen people with thirty or more years difference between them both very happy and satisfied with eachother, and I have seen people basically the same age physically with very different maturity levels, both incompatible with eachother.
If we are talking very long term relationship such as marriage, then the stressors will come with age related life changes, shuch as retirement, chronic illness, and death.
Thai paradise brings up a good point about she maybe wanting children at this time in life. If this is a serious relationship, or you believe it may become one, give serious thought to issues like these. Do also discuss them, so you are both playing from the same page of music, so to speak.
The fact that you ask such a question shows you are thoughtful, and care for more than just your own needs. Good luck. javascript:smilie(' ') | |

Posted: 3/14/2006 8:26:36 PM | 9 years..thats nothing to worry about. In the 20's and 30's and even into the 70's it was very common to see people married that were as much as 12 years apart. Now with that said I think 40 years...is just a little to much. But then I know all about that as I was once married and my wife filed for divorce at age 38 to be with some 77 year old guy. She told me she wanted something new.... NEW..???? Now that is funny.
lets just say this much...if the age is more then 20 years...that is just down right
gross.... But then I am a old fashion sort of guy...I can only go so far to one extreem
or the other before I hit a hard wall called LIMITS.

Posted: 3/14/2006 9:11:24 PM | | A few people have mentioned this about her maybe wanting children. She cannot have any, and I do not want anymore, so I guess were good there. Also, I think she's just as mature as I am, if not a little more, even though she's 9 years younger. I've heard that in general, women mature before men?? | |

Posted: 3/14/2006 9:18:50 PM | Every person is different - some people act their age & some don't (in both the fun and maturity ways). It really depends on your comfort level. If things are going well and age is the only thing holding you back - ask yourself why?
The last two guys I dated were between 9-10 years older than me and it went MUCH better than when I dated within my own age range. I don't think it makes any difference unless you don't worry about it. | |

Posted: 3/15/2006 3:13:01 AM | After the age of 18 years old a ten year difference is no big deal. And don't let family but in on your life. Be happy, b/c to find love is very hard to find and keep it if you can, its like a butterfly...    | |

Hmmm - I might tend more toward 28 than 18. My daughter's 13, and thinking of her dating a 23-yr-old just doesn't work for me. | |
