| Age difference.... Posted: 1/22/2007 10:02:55 PM | | I don't date guys who are younger than me, 'cause I don't find them physically & even more importantly emotionally/personally attractive. I only date guys who are my age or older...but not THAT much older. I've never dated a guy who was more than a few years older than I am, 'cause I notice personality clashes, lifestyle clashes, dream/goal clashes, etc in these guys. *shrugs* | |

musicnut40-I feel sorry for you....fastly approaching 45 yourself.....your life will be over then (according to your statement) you won't have the right to date anyone.....better get it all in now and hope you find someone that will keep your shallow minded azz!!!! | |

Which is for guys who are in their forties and who still may be thinking of becoming a father, age of a lover, companion, and mother becomes a factor. | |
|
| Age difference.... Posted: 1/26/2007 1:28:59 AM | ^^^^^^ Good point...If a guy in his 40's hasn't been there and done the kid thing already.. I guess he'll be looking for a much younger woman... I mean what woman in their right mind whos 35 or up would consider giving up 18 years of her life to just start motherhood either over again or for the 1st time???? ..You would be just retiring when your child finishes high school .. Personally I want to enjoy these next few years..Not be tied down to kids..But kudo's to woman who don't mind..To each her own I guess.. Starr xx | |

| Age difference.... Posted: 1/29/2007 4:16:30 AM | Hey finally a woman that appreciates a mature man thankyou. I never thought that being 53 years old and single would be so hard to couple up. I,ve dated younger women but no thanks there,s to many differences in everything. I try and stay to 3 years younger about 5 years older it seems to work. But my one complaint is players of course, i must be really gullible but i,m learning. Thanks for reading

| Age difference.... Posted: 1/29/2007 4:23:32 AM | | I tend to date older men.. 35-45... Everyone has a prefrence :) Let me clarify.. older men then me.. cause in no way.. is that OLD..lol.. | |
|
| Age difference.... Posted: 1/29/2007 8:34:51 AM | Good to see that there are still a few ladies in their mid to early thirtys that will date an older guy like me. I was hearing that the ladies in this range were all looking for younger guys.
Puppylove good to know I managed to just fit into your age requirements but too bad I am not taller than expo ernie to ride  | |

| Age difference.... Posted: 1/29/2007 10:35:14 AM | | What makes me vomit about this topic is how AGE matters to females when the guy is only a year or 2 younger and thats just sooooo wrong and inmature and frowed upon. BUT going out with some 38 year old fat balding washed up putz is cool and mature.. A couple years older younger should not make a difference. | |
|
| Age difference.... Posted: 1/29/2007 11:21:38 AM | | Hmm, since I have one of each (9 years younger and 15 years older) chasing me at the moment I can't quite answer this topic yet. I'm still at a crossroads, yes, age is just a number, it's also a number that when it nears my own mother's age scares the pants off me, I have a problem dating someone as old as my father, I guess it would be how young at heart he is or maturity level where serious stuff is concerned. Same goes with the younger. I had a 26 year old ask me out. I was flattered but I'm old enough to be his mother LOL. I'll have to learn all this by experience, I'm just used to men my age right now. And that is two years younger and two years older that I have now dated. | |

| Age difference.... Posted: 1/29/2007 5:36:10 PM | well my last partner was 7 years younger than me. we met when i was 27. ...well do the math lol. we lasted 7 years together. though when i met him i didnt take him too seriously. well he was 20 lol I still like younger men but i appreciate men my age and older too. I tend to be attracted to 10 years younger to 10 years older. Anything younger is way way to young. and anything older ...well...i dont know...open i suppose... | |

| Age difference.... Posted: 1/29/2007 5:39:39 PM | I'm not sure if someone has posted this, but the golden rule is half your age plus 7 so for me for example 22/2=11 + 7 =18 being the youngest I can date and before everyone makes clever comments about me being able to do math, I had to bust out calculator on the computer
personally I tend to date women 5-7 years older than me because of the maturity factor as I am pretty responsible for my age. But I had a 3 year realtionship with someone 13 years older. Really, age is just a number, what matters is if the people click. | |

| Age difference.... Posted: 1/29/2007 5:42:44 PM | ^^^ voice of wisdom there
and yes....I would use that calculation to determine the VERY youngest I would date....
maybe lol | |

Hey Einstein....those are awesome calculations. 46/2=23+7=30, that works for me. But honestly....I think I'd add another 5 to make it 35. In my experience, women are a little more rounded (mentally).
Personally for me...it's not so much the age. It's their health, their shape and mentality.
OK,ok...bottem line. Being 46...somewhere between 47-35. Looks matter to me...So if they're in fantastic shape ...maybe up to 50. But that just sounds soo wrong. Sorry ladies, I'm in a time warp and am not familiar with anything above 49. I better stop talking. | |

| Age difference.... Posted: 1/29/2007 6:49:04 PM | Its okay

| Age difference.... Posted: 1/29/2007 7:02:46 PM | Age is a number which has nothing to do with how someone feels inside and what they actually look like outside. I met someone who has taken my breath away and although she maybe chronologically older than I, she can run circles around me. | |
|
| Age difference.... Posted: 1/29/2007 7:11:37 PM | lmao...touche!
When I'm over 50, all I'll be interested in, is my handycap, location of my Geritol and where my teeth are. | |

| Age difference.... Posted: 1/29/2007 7:14:51 PM | | I be real young-looking and at heart so don't worry about me.My problem is my shyness in person and that's why I love this site. The statement was based on that's who I could consider "dating" now. It's not shallow,the over 55's should be a law against them ev en"fishing".It is a number,you might be suprised if you ever get to really know a person. | |

| Age difference.... Posted: 1/29/2007 8:35:12 PM | Still like em younger... I finally tried out an older guy last night....Pffft..Prob never again...It's actually amazing to me how cheap older guys are.. Personally I don't need any1's money.. but god if your invited out to dinner and drinks.. and the guy asks.. Isn't he suppose to pay???Not throw down a $20.. That doesn't even cover 1/2 the bill.. I don't care if he drinks or not...i may be old school but when i am asked out.., the guy usually pays for it even if I offer to pay 1/2,... And I Usually DO....Since he asked me.. now if I asked him.. it would be different...He even got jealous every time a guy just looked at me.. And at one point when i was talking to a girl and her b/f..(in the smoking room.. he was there too) he got up.. Went to our table and the girl said "I think your buddy (father) is leaving???".. Since I didn't have my car..DAMN.. I went to our table from the smoking room.. and he already had his coat on and said hes outta there in the middle of the 2nd period of the hockey game too...geeez......and "Do I need a ride home???"..ffs I went in his vehicle what the hell do you think???..Ended up finishing watching the hockey game.. He asked what I wanted to do..After he threw 20 bucks down on a $50.00 bill...Needless to say I didnt want to spend anymore time with him... ..Sorry guys,...I have NEVER been treated like that by a younger guy...And I've never had any young guy I'm with get all stressed cuz another guy was checking me out.. and one guy was even older to boot AS IF!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just proves my point...It seems younger guys try harder and don't have issues or insecurities if another man looks at his date..,.Personally I think it would be a compliment for him...I spent most of my time talking with him etc.. i wasnt checking any guys out.. How can I be held responsible if other guys looks at me..Unless of course if I put a sign on my chest or back.. saying..."DON'T LOOK MY DATE MAY KILL YOU OR ME!!!" Kudos to you young guys who are alot more social ,fun and respectful and to the pof'r who took me out..Maybe you can understand why your still single...Dinner and drinks is considered a date.. If I had of known you expected me to pay over 1/2 the bill I would have stayed home..NOT drank.. Made myself dinner and Watched the game on TV..It really sucked except the Canucks WON  So I still think the younger guys have the edge over older guys.. no issues and no games...Talk about a waste of a womans evening.... Older guys just made me believe even more.. Younger guys have more class...Just my opinion anyways.,.. but isn't that what this thread is about older or younger??? I tried the older guy thing...Just wasn't for me..He was a nice guy other than all the cheapness (And he bragged over and over how much money he makes).. so it wasnt a money issue...and jealousy issues Starr...

| Age difference.... Posted: 1/29/2007 8:40:34 PM | young guys are still out to impress and things like paying the bill are just a big part of that they open more doors, pull out more chairs, etc
the old guys are banking on the fact that women love thier maturity and we also get to hear all the grandfathers talking about how women love a guy with experience in the bedroom
too bad they don't have the stamina and enthusiasm to make it worth it
that and viagra takes time to start working....so i hear | |

| Age difference.... Posted: 1/29/2007 11:49:42 PM | I like to find a person around my age, he can be younger or older, as long as he's upright, has a pulse and free from life support.  | |

(From who the other young bucks?)
I have more than a little enthusiasm and some knowledge,
I've heard that this just may be even more desireable than wanton exhuberance, just a thought..
Stamina, oh I have some of that too...
and who are you calling grandpa?  | |
|
| Age difference.... Posted: 1/30/2007 12:42:45 AM | Splendid...Your by far my best older guy expieriance...Now I might even change my mind bout older guys..Now that I've seen your other 1/2 Who's calling you grandpa anyways???? And I'm sure your knowledge and enthusiasm are superior...Stamina too huh Good to see you around again Starr

| Age difference.... Posted: 1/30/2007 10:16:52 AM | Since I'm basically unique in (choosing to) become a first-time father at almost 50, it would certainly have been difficult to start the ball rolling (so to speak) with someone within 10 years of my own age.
Now I must be content with being daddy AND mommy and have no regrets. | |
