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. Yes, very unfair. Ah, I'm starting to get it. You think that because some date in different age groups, that everyone should give it a try. You have to realize, though, that everyone is different. What works for some may not work for others. Why should everyone try and be the same? What exactly is this narrow view you think I have? Sing; you don't have a narrow view. In fact; you have a level head on your shoulder and are smart enough to know what you want. Don't let these guys bully you. I agree with you 100% on the age thing. It doesn't work for me either. Its equally narrow minded to tell a person that they should open up their horizons on age just because you think its right. Its called having a choice. You have no right to tell anyone that they are judgemental or narrow minded. We all have our reasons why we don't date younger or older and it is based on experience. Go ahead and find yourself a cougar but don't you dare lecture me on opening up my horizons or what I am missing. You see there again; you are the one being judgemental now by saying its narrow minded. How mature is that? Maybe not; but in the real world people do judge according to age. Young people judge older people too. No one likes it but we need to accept it and just move on; that's where the maturity comes in. Edited by navygirl on Thu 05/10/12 11:55 AM ...........then you say your not judging lolllllllll 1 minute you say you are next you say your not ......lolllll you keep contradicting yourself my friend :) better to drop it lollllll I I never said I didn't judge; I just said I don't like being lectured by you. I read my posts and no where does it say I don't judge. Everyone judges in some way and if they say they don't they are liars. I am saying you have to accept that at one time or another you will be judged. I am saying you have no right to attack anyone for their beliefs even if they are judgemental. You are equally judgemental about those of us who chose to not date younger yet you call us judgemental. People in glass houses. Maybe you should read you own comments. "i think everyone should do what they want but should not have such a narrow minded view or judge on a age before they know a person" Why is it narrow minded if a person doesn't want to be with someone because of age? Thats merely your opinion but that doesn't make it right. Anyways; I am out of here. You obviously don't understand and making me wonder if your age might be a factor in this whole thing. Either way; I am leaving this thread as its pointless discussing this with you. judgmental or judgemental —adj. of or denoting an attitude in which judgments about other people's conduct are made. judgemental or judgemental. —adj ... * o Judge | Define Judge at Dictionary judging ones character THAT IS NARROW MINDED BY NOT GIVING PEOPLE A CHANCE HOW CLEAR CAN I SAY IT LOLLLLLLLLLLL HERE..............do you know what narrow minded means? ........breadth of view,and ...........lacking tolerance or flexibility or breadth of view..........Meaning of breadth. ... of knowledge of the subject".....so how would a person know a persons if they never talked to the person? and are blocked cause of a age? thats called lack of knowledge or narrow minded RIGHT?????????????????????? ITS SO SIMPLE AND A FACT:) lolll |

Some of you have a very low opinion of the younger people. How can you judge someone's maturity level based upon their age. Ms Harmony had the right idea on page one of this thread; ''Someone of 23 could have easily obtained a degree at a young age while raising younger siblings their whole life and supported themselves financially''. This is SO true, for me that statement is partially true. What I'm basically saying is that none of you can judge me or people my age JUST based on age. None of you know my story or my ''life experience'' as another person has mentioned. And so, if some of you guys have had bad experiences with younger people then fine stick with people your own age if that's what suits you BUT, please don't paint everyone with the same brush because I can assure you this much, we're NOT all the same. Everyone is DIFFERENT. Maybe not; but in the real world people do judge according to age. Young people judge older people too. No one likes it but we need to accept it and just move on; that's where the maturity comes in. As I said before; it would be immature of me to tell you that you are missing out because you didn't join the military. If you feel its not for you even not knowing a thing about what its like to serve; who am I tell you that you are wrong? This is what you and MG are trying to tell Sing and me. Incidentially; we don't bomb in the Navy; that is the job of the airforce. Also you are twisting words. I won't date younger guys because of age difference and I could care less about you maturity. I want someone who has been alive as long as I have. Sorry; you can't grasp it. Age does matter because with age comes maturity. I am saying that younger guys are not at the same maturity level as me. They may be mature but not in a way to relate to me and this I know from my own personal experience. I know teenagers that show maturity but that doesn't mean we have the same maturity level; it does come with age and I stand by that statement as its what I believe. I could care less if anyone agrees with me as its just my opinion. To me there is no right or wrong answer; its what ever you are comfortable doing. I am certainly not as mature as a 70 year old and I will be the first to admit it. I am no more comfortable dating a young guy than I would be say to date a single parent; a smoker, a heavy drinker, or a drug user. If I am not comfortable with a younger man; then that should be my choice. Missles explode but not the same as bombing as bombs are dropped from overhead and none of my ships could fly. |

Age does matter because with age comes maturity. How can I relate what its like to have a 20 year career to someone who has never had one? How can I relate to a 20 or 30 year old guy that because of age; my best friends are dying from heart attacks? How can I relate how age is affecting me and my body to someone who is 20 or 30 years younger? How would I relate to someone about the 70s when they weren't even born? I doubt very much that I would have much in common with a younger man that say has never served a day in the military or has only served a couple years. Sorry; but guys my age have a hard enough time understanding me; a younger guy would be way worse. judgmental or judgemental —adj. of or denoting an attitude in which judgments about other people's conduct are made. judgemental or judgemental. —adj ... * o Judge | Define Judge at Dictionary judging ones character ..................so it is judging cause only reasons i getting is they immature of a age before they know the person so it is a judge lolllllllllll hope i explained it clear enough to you all Communication won't work with someone younger. Somebody that lived the 70s may have not gone out but they can still relate as they were alive; not sucking on a baby bottle. I couldn't take a younger guy seriously. If the person is anti-war; why would I be with them at all? They still can't understand how it is to lose friends because of age? A person my age would certainly understand that. Actually in my experience; younger guys drink way more booze than an older guy because lets face it as we age; we can't drink as much. Also; how does a 30 year relate to an aging body? I am tired at the end of the day and a younger man wants sex; but I am say I am tired. As we age; our bodies tire more. How do I relate with aching joints or a sore back to a younger guy? How about menopause? How about when I retire? I can travel but sony boy still has to work for another 20 years. Seriously; you think someone wants that? Sorry; I see no point of dating someone that has little or no life experience. Bottom line; he needs to grow up or better yet date someone his own age that can grow with him. You want to call me judegmental; so be it but not dating someone young enough to be my son. I would be too embarrassed to even be seen with him. Besides if you guys are so mature; why don't you date mature women your age? I call BS that a 20 or 30 year old lost someone because of age; an accident or illness yes but not because of age. Research is pure bull as you go to any pub in this city (Calgary) and the majority is 30 year olds and as I said in my experience. You see how that works; with age comes experience. As for joint pain; that is a major issue. As for sex; that is another major issue as younger guys want sex on a regular basis and after putting in a 14 hour day; I am beat and that's the last thing on my mind. How about kids? What 50 year old woman wants to bear or raise kids? Sorry; but I want someone that is in the same age category as well as mental capacity. A peron's mental capcity at 30 is not the same as one at 50. I should know as I have been there. I can't explain it on terms that you could understand. I could care less if younger guys traveled more than me; that still does not give them the experiences I have gone through. Going to Europe now and 20 years ago are like night and day. Also some young guy that has traveled Europe for a vacation can't compare to me dealing with terrorists while serving in Europe. You forget; I am around young people all the time so I see what they are like. I was in my 20s and 30s; yes I was an adult but in no way did I have a clue of what I really wanted. I at least am mature enough to admit that. An older woman is nothing more than a novelty to you and when you tire; you will dump her or cheat on her for someone younger. I am not going to keep arguing the point. If a guy has mommy issues; then he needs to find himself someone else; I have more self respect for myself. I am not a cougar. I also teach kids and I am well known in the community as well as the city. I have a reputation to uphold and being known as a cougar would be a source of embarassment for me. I can't take a young guy seriously as a boyfriend of lifemate and I find it laughable when young guys approach me. I tell them to go back to mommy. |

I can't stand shopping. If I have to shop (when I can't just order it online) I go in, get what I need and get out I always hated window shopping....very boring to me |
|
|
|
I prefer shopping online...or at thrift or "discount" stores. Sometimes for clothing, sometimes for goodies for my home (fixing up the nest!) I'm def not a "mall rat." Now I'm on a mission to avoid shopping because I have trips I want to save for...gotta make choices! |

Why do people taunt & tease?
|

Today I saw a group of school girls taunting & laughing at a person ,may be for the dress he worn. They were loudly singing a song & saying something loudly so that he can listen to them. I figured,the person didn't pay attention to them but they kept laughing & taunting loudly till he disappeared. I personally do not dare to tease strangers & wonder how people dare to do so. any thoughts? |
