| I already rasied my kids...I don't need no mo!
Posted: 2/5/2008 11:06:46 AM | | When I was looking online (+ 4 years ago) it would be 5 years up or down, not usually more. That being said, my guy is 7 years older and would never have found him with the 5 year criteria. | |

| If you are over 50, would you rather marry same age or younger?
Posted: 2/5/2008 4:01:07 PM | I am 'aiming' at the younger side merely because of my activity level. However, I am not precluding anyone to be honest.
If we were to mesh well and the 'click' were there - it would matter little their age.
However, with respect to my activity interests it seems that I have more in common with a younger audience. | |

Posted: 2/5/2008 4:15:17 PM | oh Dave!
OTOH...as a woman, when I am over 50, what do I want? I think I'd go for a man younger than me
But that depends if a younger guy wants to be with an older woman who he will have to cart around in a wheelchair not to mention she will be all wrinkly and grey.
just what older women do you know anyway?...younger men and older women are best fit for "rematching" after divorces when BOTH are over 45...the man ages REAL FAST and the woman has already aged and is slowing down on aging...matter of fact...after menopause...there is a resurgance in sex drive and so the woman needs a younger man if back on the market!!!!
If I had aged with my man...then it wouldn't matter his age...I would love him even if he had to Viagra it up...but as for getting back into the playground...younger guys are the only way to go for me...and I am 65! and because of my genetics...I may be around a long time (my mom is 95 and aunt 101) and I don't want to out live several "older"men...nor meet and marry in time to "take care of them" and get no care for me!!!  | |

Posted: 2/5/2008 4:24:38 PM | | I'm 53, and life is exciting and wonderful...but I'll get back to you when I get old and when the sex drive leaves. I prefer dating someone within 5-6 years of my age (older or younger). Have you ever thought that perhaps a man who is a little older and a little more experienced might make the best lover? I dated one man for over a year who was 15 years my junior, and have been asked out by men even younger. I think you should follow your heart. | |

Posted: 2/5/2008 4:25:51 PM | | Well, the question was "marry". If it were "date", I would answer differently...who cares? As far as marriage, ya better have most things in common, meaning generationally, which can vary as far as number of years but is not a huge difference. | |

Posted: 2/6/2008 6:47:22 AM | The older I get, the more I believe that age is just a number, it doesn't really matter. I have been married three times. My first two wives were within a year or two of me. My third wife was 16 years younger. Although I am divorced from all of them, the third and I are still very close friends. We talk almost daily, go to dinner and movies together, go shopping. I currently am seeing a woman who is 13 years my junior. While we are very good friends, in fact what some people call "friends with benefits," we have no plans to be in an exclusive relationship with one another. She continues to seek Mr. Right, I have given up on trying to find his female counterpart.
Most women I know appreciate mature men more than they do those their own age. I am told we treat them better, are more considerate and generous as well as more appreciative. As far as intimacy goes, they tell me they would much rather be with an older man than one their own age. Older men, I am told, not only know how to please their partners better, they are more willing to forgo their own pleasure until the woman has had hers. | |

Posted: 2/6/2008 8:15:04 AM | Wambold02, I thought I would expand a bit on my previous reply and also get more into the general spirit of the topic.
I am now 72 and definitely want to find someone my age or even considerably younger  . I do not feel or act my age and I hope I do not look it. My wife of 32 years was 2 years older than I was and did not look her age either. Her health problems slowed her down and did her in way too soon 2 years ago.
So far it has been my experience that all too many ladies of my age (and even sometimes considerably younger  ) actually look and act 'old'. I have met some ladies in their late 50s and early 60s who are much 'older' than I am. I am neither the energizer bunny nor father time. I just am not ready for weekly bingo or bunco as being a big night on the town.
Age truly is a matter of state of mind. Attitude and good genes help a lot!  | |

Posted: 2/6/2008 8:31:43 AM | | It depends on the person. There are younger men that act old, and older men that act young. I'm fifty, but my preference for dating men is the 45-56 age range. Altho, I don't hold any strict rules. I take that back, I wouldn't date any guy in his twenties or thirties. Then again, they probally wouldn't date me... they couldn't keep up. | |

Posted: 2/6/2008 12:02:12 PM | | I think it depends upon your sex, actually. Not many men lie about their ages but I know very few women who don't, especially if they are over 40. So I would say women WANT it to be just a number and men really believe it. I am a proud 60 years old. While I have to rely on medications for erectile dysfunction, my current partner says I take care of business as well, if not better, than men her age. I have medical problems that should slow me down, but I don't let them. people say I don't look my age and I certainly don't act it. | |

Posted: 2/6/2008 4:15:45 PM | | Although I would love to be attracted to women close to my age and perhaps marry one, things have not worked out that way for me. In the past year I have dated women 33, 39, 45 and 32. I am at present 66. Hopefully I will meet one closer to my age to whom I am attracted. | |
