your right bro i see so many dating in different age brackets and i think people should admire that , cause to many are narrow minded and never open up their horizon, and maybe if they did talk to couples in different age groups or see more they may think and open up but its their choice :) cheers thanks for your input

LOLLLLLLLLLLL no 1s bent out of shape but i do see you love to start up on different people over nothing like just by that comment right there lolll i don't care who you chat to or when you do or what age either lolllll so may i ask who is bent out of shape???????????

Could you ladies name a view things that makes age a difference specifically?

If you do it might make it easier for those of us who don't care so much about it to explain why.

For example in my case, one who has traveled all their life and is deeply involved in music and business. Someone who has spent all but 6 weeks a year at times home. Someone who didn't write their first personal check for something until they were 41. Someone who kept 3 homes running at one time. Someone who got college by tutors on a bus. Someone who probably has a far different life from what many of you would call norm. How would you even have a clue to what I would need or want age wise?

You who live by the 9 to 5 sometimes have no idea that there is another huge world out there that is way outside of your thinking. People lives who run on a completely different set of values, time lines and responsibilities. A partner for many of us has nothing to do with age and everything to do with compatibility. I've met women that are 25 with way more experience than the older small town woman. I have also met 60 years olds with more open minds than teenagers. Suggesting that there is an age group for people like myself or others like me would be very limiting as we do not look for the same things in a partner.

Another example. Someone like my self literally has no time to go around in useless arguments. My partner has to be fast on her feet and be able to move quickly through lives decisions. In my wife's case she needed someone who did not get jealous and handle her being a world traveler. Neither of us had time for domestic troubles so we both had others hired to take care of the "small things". Those small things to us were probably big things for other couples.

What I'm saying is in many cases outside of norm ( what is norm) exist a world that very much deserve love but doesn't care about the same things as many others do.

We all know couples who have large age spans, I do anyway. It seems to me that 'society' whispers 'cougar' when the woman has chosen younger and has admiration for a man who has chosen younger.
