| | How do you feel about age differences?Page 3 of 3 (1, 2, 3) | I've had a bf that was 17 years older...it was actually nice to have someone I could speak to rationally without the temper tantrums.
I have also had a bf 4 years younger and he annoyed the crap out of me with how immature he was.
Sigh...just going to have to keep looking for some happy medium without looking at the age factor. Someone who is intellectually compatable, sensitive and like to have fun...sometimes.  | |

Posted: 4/17/2008 12:47:28 AM | In some cases age differences don't matter. In a few other circumstances-it can be a blessing.
I have dated Women women 10, 20 and even one 25 years younger.
Yet on a daily basis many will look or view my profile. As soon as I wrote this one lady--she say-"My age is too "Great" for her. If this is true of my age...being 50 and hers 30-why do I open my POF daily and see her oicture siting right up top---waiting?
Somebody tell me why so many Women use the POF as a picture album... | |

Off topic, I know (and I apologize), but the top row only shows the people who, while they certainly may have viewed your profile at one time, have been on-line recently.
If she consistently shows up in any of the other rows, that's a different story. Maybe you are just wishful thinking, or eye candy for her.

Posted: 4/28/2008 3:53:37 PM | I have always dated and have only been in relationships with women my age
now I am finding that women my age are bitter and angry, we all have been through a lot, I know i have, but I am not interested in living in the past,or anyones .I would love to find a woman my age who is still enthusiastic, but its just not happening. There is also a question of maturity,I am finding that age does not = maturity | |

I have met some immature 30+ years olds in my single life time.
But I find gals around 30+ want guys around the same age. Why care so much about age as long as you are both happy and the relationship is really working.  Its tough enough as it is trying to find a compatible partner as it is so why put another restriction about being the same age.....hmm now that i say this maybe I need to edit my age restriction on here!    | |

Posted: 3/11/2009 4:06:08 PM | I cannot speak for anybody but myself, but age can effect a relationship. Age is a number granted..but it's not a gauge on maturity or a lack thereof. I am a 40 year old man..I am active and still fascinated by life with no children of my own.I find that for me 5 to 7 years either way is ideal for a successful long term relationship.I have dated younger women in their late 20's and found it interesting indeed.I have dated a woman 11 years my senior.Both situations had pros and cons.With a much younger woman she was into partying hard and clubbing..I have passed that stage in my life.With the much older woman,our views on life were too far apart.The women in question are very good people.
I have two very good friends who are dads with young kids at home in their mid 40's.
Both have younger wives,one is in her late 20's.One part of me wouldn't mind finding a younger woman to have children with,the other part of me would rather live without that burden.I am offically entering a mid life crisis
When it comes to age differences..there's a song by Steely Dan named "Hey 19" Have a listen it says it all. | |

Posted: 3/17/2009 3:46:38 PM | Personally I think it is a little of both, the maturity level and the age. When I was 18, I made a poor choice, becoming involved with a man who I really didn't know anything about. Found out he was 32 and for a little while things were okay.
But as I continued to mature, his maturity level stayed the same and things started to get bad. Things started to get worse, in ways that I won't go into detail about, but I became pregnant and wanted him to change, things that again I won't go into detail about, for the sake of the baby. I think in the beginning he really did try but as he was so used to being the way he was every time he made some progress he would regress to right back where he was before. I have finally realized that he will never change, and have been out of the relationship for more than a year, but it is now almost 9 years later, with three kids involved.
I think meeting someone around my own age would be good, but a lot of men who answer ads that I have on other sites, as I have an age restriction on my mailing options here, are a lot older than me. | |

Posted: 1/26/2011 12:41:39 PM | 40 going on 16, you mean you listen to horrible music, hang out at the mall and are on the phone constantly? I consider myself young at heart as well, for me it's more like 43 going on 23. When it comes to the majority of couples the man is usually older, I don't have any scientific data or a poll to back this up, but I do think it's common knowledge....and has been for years, decades, centuries?
Age doesn't matter so much to me, but the older women I've met and dated consider a "brisk walk after dinner" being active, and have critiqued my choice of movies, music, TV programming - it's not ALL lowbrow stuff either, I think in fact it has been a healthy mix. I'm not specifically looking for a certain age - just someone who wants to stay active, and can act childish at times and have fun....and not just presently, I mean until the day my license is taken away and I'm put in a senior's home.
I've resisted setting any age limits, but I do think a suitable age range for me is 33 to 48, however I'm open to people outside those limits if we have something in common and there is mutual interest.
I think a more relevant question is why so many women today seem obsessed with younger men? Just the fact that "most men date younger women, so why can't I date younger men?" is not an intelligent answer. I'm just curious to know why? | |

Posted: 1/26/2011 10:28:32 PM | Odd one, going back as far as written word. people naturally want a "mate" that is younger. there are people out there that really dont care. I myself am 25, and dont give two shits if I am a with a woman who is 30. it all (for me at leas) comes down to maturity, personality, common interests, ext... now I am not going to lie and say looks mean nothing to me, they do. that dose not mean I am looking for a lola, nah... youth dose not indicate beauty! in fact- I think that some of the most beautiful women are in their late 20s to mid 30s with some going as far as mid 40s. a young face dose not hold much other than makeup - a face that has been lived in holds the beauty of time!
I dont know maybe I sound like a hippy... dose anyone know what I am talking about? true beauty, not cute, or good looking? | |
