I miss Pong. It was delightfully....Zen-like. | |

Your guy is WOW... and you're Ms PacMan... Yeah, that works...  | |

| what's an appropriate age differential? Posted: 7/18/2009 6:14:31 PM | Hello Brianb8,
Yes actually Many times I have bin approached by women twice my age.
I was 25 at the time now I am 26 but As a cab diver I developed some "Personal" passenger who were very successful Women in the rich area that I drove cab in.
One was 47 and the other was 50. They were very good looking for their age and really knew who to treat a guy. So me being single I said what the hell and foocked the living crap out of them when ever they were in town at their vacation house.
Great sex and I really enjoyed the "no bull crap, this is what I want" air that any older woman who has enough wisdom gives off.
That's one of the things I really can not tolerate about girls my age or younger, the poor things are like chickens running around with their heads cut off. What a headache. 
I think that a women twice my age that approaches me knows we are not going to become a long term relationship. If they are not married they probably have done it all, had all the kids they want, don't want to be married anymore and just want their face forcefully shoved in a pillow as I make their toes curl once in a while. 
No biggy.
TA!! Izzy. | |

Izzy, Darlin'...you don't drink before you drive that cab do you? I mean, Posting on the Califorum while you're high is perfectly acceptable (and highly encouraged), but driving is not.
Take care. | |

Aw common Alibabble, cut me a little slack I'm not all that bad looking am I.
But to answer you no I don't drink and i don't get high. nor have i ever touched a woman who had bin drinking either.
But you know the funny thing is if you a drunk driver a cab is the perfect thing to drive.
1.) cab drivers dive like drunks when sober.
2.) nobody gives that fact a second thought. | |

| what's an appropriate age differential? Posted: 7/21/2009 12:16:05 PM | I was engaged for over four years to a man who was 8 years younger than I ... and, even at that, my friends complained that, based on his personality, he was too old for me ... I finally agreed ... he just didn't have much flexibility in his thinking ... GREAT to look at ... but sort of a fuddy-duddy ...
I've also dated a man 19 years older than I ... he was and is witty, fun, able to think outside the box and really great to look at ...
one of my aunts was 17 years older than her husband ... they had what looked like an ideal relationship ... but who knows ...
when I was in my early 50s, I dated a man who ... I SWEAR ... looked MUCH older than the 27 years it turned out he was ... it was an accident ... I had no intention of dating a man that young ... there were mitigating circumstances ... that's my story and I'm sticking to it ... | |

| what's an appropriate age differential? Posted: 7/21/2009 2:52:50 PM | There is a 21 yo here who has been persuing me rather diligently. ahem.
I told him that I would hope that my lover and I would have some sort of "society" in common. That he's never even dialed a rotary phone!
Maybe I need to reevaluate my standards. The ability to "Dial" a phone is highly overrated. | |

| what's an appropriate age differential? Posted: 7/21/2009 3:30:10 PM | For me, a 5 year difference plus or minus is fine. If I happened to meet someone outside of that, but they had the "appearance" of being in my range I don't think it'd matter.
but just so you know... this has NEVER happened. We all look our age, so get over yourselves. | |
|
| what's an appropriate age differential? Posted: 7/21/2009 3:34:20 PM | My good (girl)friend is 50 and has lived with a now 26 yo man for the past 3 years. They have been incredibly happy.
Maybe it won't last forever. Say what you will, but she sure has had more love and fun these past 3 years than I have. | |

| what's an appropriate age differential? Posted: 7/21/2009 4:26:13 PM | NAH AH!!! I look older. *sigh*
You must look older than your pictures then. mmmmmm... yummy..
Anyway, what was the topic here?
Appropriate? For me, anything over 33. It is my morality threshold. It means nothing. It is subjective and arbitrary. Some people show up much older and laugh when I speak of "personal responsibilty" an "behavior." I figure you had at least 33 years to learn it, you might try my version. | |

| what's an appropriate age differential? Posted: 7/21/2009 4:36:37 PM | I went out with an 27 year old once....
So if the girl was 9 years older than you... is that ok?
I suppose if she was over 10 years older..... She would have had some explaining to do.... and I would have had some frickin' awesome stories. | |
|
| what's an appropriate age differential? Posted: 7/21/2009 4:44:05 PM | About 10 years in either direction works for me...but I haven't always adhered to it.
If he is young enough for me to have given birth to him or old enough to be my father, I just say no.  | |

A recent Ex of mine was about that. Wonderful woman. Age is number; beauty fading and only skin deep in the first place. | |

| what's an appropriate age differential? Posted: 7/21/2009 5:18:57 PM | Yeah, well I don't want to date 60 yo's either.
If he shows up for the date with a handicapped sticker for his bad ticker, walk away.... | |

| what's an appropriate age differential? Posted: 7/21/2009 5:44:57 PM |
My first ex was 12 years older... I was very young then and I wouldn't do it again. The difference was too much IMO.
My first ex was a woman, I found the diefference too much, but decided to stick with my gender preference anyway. Go figure? | |

| what's an appropriate age differential? Posted: 7/22/2009 6:56:46 PM | women over 35 have far less chances to have healthy kids. upto 37 may be ok though. but after that - nonsense. there are lots of nice girls interested in nice men, not jerks.
for men it doesn't matter. you can be 70 years old and have a completely healthy kids as long as she is under 30 and even under 35.
otherwise - whoever has a better personality and is hotter --- if no kids are in the plan, then what's the point of so called "commitment"?
btw, wft happaned with this golddigger thread? I was finally having lots of fun on these baords, and when I came logged in yesterday, I noticed that it's g o n e ..
you started fighting with each other? instead of going out catching girls, come here and keep wasting each other time? | |

for men it doesn't matter. you can be 70 years old and have a completely healthy kids... That's not exactly true. Older male's sperm (35plus) is not nearly as healthy as their younger counterparts.
Now the really bad news: sperm from older men are not as “good” as sperm from younger men. Older men are less fertile than younger men. In addition, the genetic quality of the sperm is worse. The risk of genetic abnormalities in children born to older fathers increases, as does the chance of miscarriages.

Where M = male age and W = woman's age
.5 * M + 8 = perfect W
Works at every age, like magic!
feel free to email me for perfect male age if you're a hot babe seeking eastern wisdom.
