| age differance and dateing
Posted: 9/22/2004 6:47:54 PM | | How do you all feel on the age thing? what is to old, to young ( at least 18!) what is to much. and what kinds of feeling do you have on this? I can say at 36 i still get 18 year olds hitting on me as well as 50 year olds. i am one of them people that really don't look there age. most would guess 28 at teh most. but i get hits from a lot of women in there 20s.. I dated a women 10 years younger then me once and it was tuff. the thing she wanted to do at times i had been thru and was like. yawn. but other things were great. so what is your opion of age differance. | |

Posted: 9/22/2004 7:35:06 PM | | I belive it is a maturity question more than age.Hard to picture me below 30.Dated younger worlds was so far apart.But if the love of my life was 20 and we bonded i could deal because we are on the same page.Maple LeafsVsRedwings in playoff come spring | |

Posted: 9/22/2004 8:08:17 PM | | As long as you're over 18, age shouldn't really matter. It's got to be personal preference. You're still at that good age Jimi - 37 is perfect. Not too old to attract the 20 something's as you say. yet mature enough to be attractive to the 40 something's. I'm 45, and I've crossed the breach! It seems as though the 20 something's draw a line (with rare exception) at 38-39-40, somewhere in there. | |

Posted: 9/22/2004 8:34:49 PM | | I suppose that the age thing does depend on the maturity of the person. But me personally I could never see me dating an 18-26 I would feel like i was their mom or something. haha | |

Posted: 9/22/2004 8:55:00 PM | in the past month i have had a 18 year old store clerk, 23 year old school teacher, 19 year old college student, a 21 year old that i don't know what she does?, 48 year old, a 28 year old( MARRIED!), 24 year old waitress. 30 year old waitress.and a 42 year old. hit on me. it's all over the map. the 48 year old lady licked my HAND! i was at a club talking to her and her friend and she spilled her drink on me. so being the man that i am I asked her if that was white wine or red? she said why. i said red wine goes with blue jeans and white with shirts. then she licked my hand. yuck!. I think i got my A game going on again.

Posted: 9/23/2004 4:48:12 AM | | well lets see I am 22 almost 23 and I really dont have an age preference. I mean I really dont date guys that are younger then me cause I have 3 kids and most of them can not handle being with someone who has to share their time I guess is how to put it. But I have dated a 38 yr old. But that is as high as I will go. But I have dated older men for years because they are more mature. I dont know. Thats just the way I like it | |

Posted: 9/23/2004 8:15:41 AM | | What else? C'mon - all you ladies. Most/many of you say that age doesn't or shouldn't make a difference. So if a guy had all the qualities you were looking for, and he was say, 10 years older, would that stop you from pursuing a relationship? | |

| Re: age differance and dateing
Posted: 9/23/2004 11:58:58 AM | | I would pursue the relationship as long as he wasnt all wrinkled up and one leg in the grave haha | |

Posted: 9/23/2004 12:57:09 PM | | I dont think 10 yrs is that big of a difference at all. I would def try it with someone if they had all the qualitys I wanted in a man. | |

| WITH REGARDS TO MATURITY
Posted: 9/23/2004 7:51:57 PM |
ALL of you women in your 20's that have this idea that 35 yearold + men are so mature, get a grip.
Any man who would date a woman so much younger obviously has some mental issues, or is interested in someone with low self esteem for a quick screw. If they are so mature as you would claim, why would they not want someone with the life experiences they have had. Why would they not want someone who has been through as many years of life. And if they are so mature, how mature are you in their eyes?
If they cannot get a woman of their own age, they are obviously far below the maturity level they should be at. I would much rather be with someone that would grow up with me, rather than be with someone who obviously stopped growing up many years ago.
Personally I usually only date older women. I prefer maturity to this gross idea of 'youth' that men seem to have. I date older women than some of the 35 yearolds here, and I'm quite a bit younger. Does that not tell you something. Wow.
God save me if in 15 years i am still interested in the same age group. Two words for the men. GROW UP.
Thank you. | |

Posted: 9/23/2004 8:18:26 PM | | As an added note to all of you 'modern' 'mature' 'smart' women. If he doesn't think that women his age are sexy... guess where you are gonna be when you start getting grey hairs and wrinkles. Best of luck with the cosmetic surgury and dyes. It wont be enough. | |

| Re: WITH REGARDS TO MATURITY
Posted: 9/23/2004 10:21:18 PM | Well, let's see. I've been through the wringer in my 45 years. I've experienced a lot of joy and heartache in my romantic relationships. At 45, I know what I'm looking for. I don't need some 20-year-old punk to tell me to "grow up" if I'm attracted to someone who's say 25 or 29 that exhibits those needs and desires. And while I cannot absolutely guarantee you that I am more mature than you are at 20, I can guarantee you that I have more experience than you do. And if some women translate "experience" to "maturity" then you don't know what the heck you're talking about - boy barely out of high school. In the majority of states, you can't even legally consume alcohol yet. So don't you dare disparage men more than twice your age.
It's obvious you didn't do a lot of reading in the posts. This has nothing to do with maturity or sex. An attractive woman of 45 is an attractive woman of 45, and so is one of 25. I've met 20 year olds who are more mature than some 40 year olds i know. And I've met 45+ year olds (my ex included) who aren't as mature as your average 25 year old. So the point of most of these posts was that age doesn't matter - a connection does.
So far, since the breakup of a 16 year marriage, I have dated a few times, all were about my age. However, if I met a 25 year old tomorrow who was interested in me and I in her, I would pursue it. Who the heck are you to judge me as having "mental issues" or the desire for a "quick screw?" You don't know what the heck you're talking about. Go back to study hall little boy.

Posted: 9/24/2004 12:20:04 AM | I think age, for the most part doesn't matter. (as long as they aren't minors, of course)
It's not a number that makes a relationship, it's how you care and treat one
another. I usually am attracted to guys a couple years older than myself. I have
only dated one younger guy, by eight years, and even though we really cared
for each other, it just didn't seem right to me. He was comfortable with it, but
I guess I wasn't. I just felt, he's so cute, so sweet......but more like I wish I
would have had a baby brother like him sorta thing. I just think it can be a world
apart if the people are at differant points in life, wanting differant things (as stated
above, still in the bar scene, not ready for commitment, those sorta things).
But, if they are at the same point in life, want the same things and really connect,
love each other and treat each other with respect.....well what does a number matter? | |

Younger women like you, your own age women like you, and older women like you.
There are men that like older women, but the older a woman gets the fewer the men there are, young or old.
I found it disturbing on a senior site I was on, that there were very handsome young men looking for older ladies. It may not be true, but I got the feeling these men wanted to be taken care even though they wrote to the contrary.
What would I do with a 36 year old? I would feel I was holding him back from his lifes' experiences.
For me I think he would have to be at least 45 and then I'm thinking is this too young?

Posted: 9/24/2004 6:01:05 AM | | Dont need anyone to take care of me, I enjoy older women mainly because the conversation tends to be far deeper than what a 20-24 year old wants to talk about. I just cant get excited talking about clothes, make-up, shoes, or the non stop gossip. | |
