| Age differences Posted: 7/20/2007 5:29:11 PM | I think as we all get older, their is a pull to youth, and still wanting to enjoy what was, and can still be! opposits attract in many diffrent ways.. shapes and forms.. age is not just a number.. given to the over the hill brigade, its experience, cultured, mature, and can even be called sexy..lol. either way if you want it to work and attract.. it can and will for as long as your comfortable and confident with it yourself. and confidence makes suprise prizes throughout life.. | |

| Age differences Posted: 7/20/2007 5:37:32 PM | I would go no more than ten years older but he would have to have a young outlook... I do however go for fella's around my own age nowadays I was married to an older guy though & my last victim was 34.. I do think mid 30's is the lowest I would go though...
I have had the MILF offers much to my son's disgust, mostly his friends...and nope I would not go there...
I do think that age is just a number but would only date in my comfort zone.. And I do state this on my profile, not to offend older gentlemen, just my choice....

| Age differences Posted: 7/20/2007 7:24:49 PM | | Persoanlly I think the age is irrelevant. It's whether you match with a person. I tend toward women in their late 20's/30's, but that's because older women *in general and my experience* let themselves got out of shape which is unattractive to me, and don't have a lot of energy or *playfulness*. | |

| Age differences Posted: 7/21/2007 5:03:18 AM | I dont really care about age , as long as your both attracted whats the problem ? and older women dont all let themselves go , its just some of us cant be bothered anymore !! | |
|
| Age differences Posted: 7/21/2007 5:22:44 AM | | I don't think it matters much though I do think that if you are within 10 years of each other, it's nice having shared experience of the same era. That said, I do find that men my age and just a few years older look and behave a lot older. In fact they mostly look like my Dad - which is pretty bad as he's dead! That doesn't stop them chasing some young totty. Sigh... Perhaps they are seeking the elixir of youth. | |

| Age differences Posted: 7/21/2007 5:27:50 AM | lassnotlooking,, i strongly believe older men chasing alot younger women have issues such as "mid life crisis" or if i see a younger lass say 18/20 with a 40 plus year old half the time i say its due to a walet. yes sometimes an older man can attract a younger lass and have a great relationship, but half the time i think its a male ego boost for a 40plus year old to pull a young lass.

| Age differences Posted: 7/21/2007 5:35:06 AM | i have always gone for an older man, just cant seem to date men younger than me it makes me squirm thinking about it (perhaps i have issues lol)
the biggest age gap i have tried though is 20 years older than me but to be honest i dont think ill go there again and my last long term relationship there was a 11 year gap and that was probably the worst one
but i have now gone for a slightly smaller gap hes only 7 years older than me and im hoping this one is better than the rest (and yes i met him on here ) | |

| Age differences Posted: 7/21/2007 5:37:38 AM | | I tend to attract and be attracted to younger men, thats not to say I wouldn't date an older man, like the majority on here say, its the chemistry... the last guy I was really attracted to.... 7 years my junior ! Neither of us had an issue with it so why should anyone else? go with your heart and feeling I say, lifes too short not to! | |
|
| Age differences Posted: 7/21/2007 5:49:18 AM | I had a 53 year old man mail me on here. Even away from the PC i seem to attract older guys.
A few years older, yeah for me that's alright, but someone older than my mum, i don't think so some how.
A wrinkly old codger with a much younger looking woman. Or the other way around. Ewwwwwww.
Age does matter to me for various reasons. | |
|
| Age differences Posted: 7/21/2007 6:31:36 AM | I love younger men and i think younger men are getting more mature than older ones.
I have a slightly younger guy, and he is lovely in all ways, my mate has a younger guy to and he is alot younger than her, they have no problems whatsoever, infact they are very much in love. I think relationships with age dfferences are fine providing you give and take. | |
|
| Age differences Posted: 7/21/2007 6:44:53 AM | Older guys like younger women, younger women like more mature guys. Older ladies like younger men and younger men love mature ladies...this is as old as human kind. Does that work in a long term relationship? Within reason yes. My dad was 13years older than my mum and they were married for 35 years. I've had a great gf for 5 years before we parted (because of religion, definately not age) and she was 18 years younger than me. There are examples to confirm it works and there are examples that seems to indicate it doesn't. I think it's purely an undividual thing. I say enjoy whatever (polite) attention you get and enjoy whatever makes you happy. | |

| Age differences Posted: 7/21/2007 7:00:53 AM | Hi Jan...most of the younger men who cantact me are usually looking for a sugar mama...its all flattering and hey if it makes your day no harm done...but its down to the individual...i prefer a partner my own age plus - 10 years is good too...because i know what i want from a man...and i think at that age ( hopefully) got through their mid life thing,.....and have more life experience, and know what they want...(I have a child and i dont want another one..lol).....i'm 42 but still feel 24...so if you want a younger man go for it...because you never know it could work for you.....
take care ...enjoy life...because it really is short...

| Age differences Posted: 7/21/2007 7:03:44 AM | Bikerbird - the name makes me want to view your profile - what's wrong with over 45? I ride a bike - but alone. Most of the ladeez my age are not into that, oh no! far too cold/wet/fast/scary..... I might have grey hair but the rest of me is still true colour. In fact had grey hair since 16, should be used to it by now I guess..
BTW to all those that "bit" on the MILF thang, it was just a response to the lass who was amazed she was being chased by young lads. Get over yourselvs. | |

| Age differences Posted: 7/21/2007 7:27:40 AM | I married my first husband when I was 20, he was 31. The age gap there did cause us problems, we wanted different things. At 35 I had a bf for a couple of years who was also 10 years older, the age gap then was nothing.
From 12 years younger to 20 years older, it really doesn't matter. If you want the same things and have similar outlooks then age is not important. Unfortunately big age differences often mean different wants and needs or being in a different place in your life. | |

Message 57 - you havent met me or my friends then!! I could say the same about older men, they all seem so 'old' but it would only be some of them not all of them.
Unfortunately big age differences often mean different wants and needs or being in a different place in your life. I think this is very true Wendy, and that is the main problem.
Even though I put this thread up over a year ago (yes I am still here - nobody can keep up with me!! ) the same thing is still happening. Most of the messages I have are from younger men! Amazing.
And as for MILF - well how about a GILF - coz I have two grandchildren as well!

| Age differences Posted: 7/22/2007 12:28:21 AM | Age shouldn't make a difference so long as your happy. If thirty year olds write to you and you like them then go for it you only live once.
I only look 10 years either way from my age but I wouldn't exclude someone who wrote to me on their age alone, if they have written to you then they must like your photo's so you know they are attracted to you, you would assume that they have got past the photo's and read your profile and liked what they read there and found some common ground.
You only have the one life there is no 2nd chance so go for whatever makes you happy, how do you know a relationship with someone your own age will work any better than one with a 30 year old. | |

| Age differences Posted: 7/22/2007 1:14:05 AM | I do agreed with u Curlywurly age is just a number and u all should feel happy with what ever age group u fall for. i personally like the older age simple cause i do think that they do have a little more to offer with experince.: ::: | |

| Age differences Posted: 7/22/2007 3:51:10 AM | | I wouldn't date anyone younger than 18 or older than 30 unless they were an extraodrinary individual, then exceptional measures would have to be taken. | |
|
| Age differences Posted: 7/22/2007 5:58:35 AM | I have always dated guys younger than myself although it's never been a deliberate decision, just that I find myself getting on better with younger guys I guess.
As for acceptable age difference it really is difficult to define as maturity and age don't always go hand in hand. I've dated guys ranging from 1-16 years younger than myself in the past and although at 45 I'd prefer any partner to be 35+ I wouldn't completely rule out dating someone younger than 35 again. | |
|
| Age differences Posted: 7/22/2007 6:07:59 AM | | the youngest ive dated is 6 years younger,the oldest 9 years older.i think its the connection that matters most. sometimes its more mental stimulation thats attractive enough to get to a dating stage. but it the combo of physical and mental are both there, ill close my account! | |
|
| Age differences Posted: 7/23/2007 3:38:48 PM | I think it depends on the people involved, Ive always been attracted to older men but at the same time there are a lot of younger great looking guys out there
People dont bat an eyelid when a women is with an older man but I know women get stick for having a younger guy....I think as long as your both happy then BXXXs to what everyone thinks | |
|
| Age differences Posted: 7/24/2007 12:23:36 PM | I say," Good 4 U". Go for it. If you can get them, GREAT! | |
