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? |

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? |

I think we should just agree that only the two people involved are the ones' whose opinion matters. For this 55 yr old it is 50 to 60 give or take a year. Thanks for the debate fellas. I did enjoy it Yep, agreed! I think that was cheer ups point and certainly was mine. |

I guess what I don't get is why people get bent out of shape over others' preferences. Age is just one of these preferences. Hey, no problems here. If you want to date women of all ages, go for it! Sing, see here's what cheer up is talking about. He never said he wants to date women of all ages. He is saying it doesn't matter what age he or anyone else chooses. And I think all we are saying is, it is different for every one. Age has nothing to do with finances. Some people it takes a while to have financial gain and others at a very young age achieve it. Shouldn't we all agree that it is what ever works for them and not what worked for a few. That's all I'm saying. I don't want someone to think that dating out of your age bracket (there is no such thing in my book) is a bad thing necessary. Absolutely. However, the original statement made it sound like anyone who was not for dating much older or much younger was being negative. My question to you and Cheer up would be how many successful relationships have you experienced yourselves with someone much older or much younger? You asked for examples from me of why it may not work so now I ask the two of you to provide me with examples that it does. |

Yes, very unfair. And you are right, that's how it happened for you. 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 and i never said you , i was talking in general people who judge people cause of age before they even know them its so sad lollllllll its so simple point my friend:) |

I can absolutely have respect for those with differing views, however I lose that respect when I'm lectured. Especially when it's for what others have done. Right lol |

Age does matter to me. The bigger the age gap, the less likely we'll have much in common and the more likely we'll be at different places in life. I find that for dating, late 20s to mid 30s works well for me. You asked a question about whether age matters. I answered for myself. I wasn't looking for advice, though. I've found what works well for me. What works for you may be different. I was just giving my response to your thread, not looking for suggestions. Thanks anyway. That's what we call stuck in the mud. Why? Because I know what works for me? Sorry, I'm not going to just change my mind about my preferences and what I'm attracted to just because a few people here don't like it. Cheer up was saying earlier that I was judgmental. Seems as though everyone else is as well. Why do you think people think you are judgemental? You and cheerup will have to tell me. Is it because I have preferences that I know work well for me? First looks like I'll have to tell you gals what I meant by stuck in the mud. I was referring to someone who is so deep in their own thoughts about something that it is hard for them to let others express themselves without an issue being made. The other part to this would be giving advice to others and stating that they weren't willing to consider the same. To me that is being a little stuck or not able to accept or consider another view. It seems like when someone has a different view about dating the same people always jump in and build their camp. The problem comes when someone has a fresh or different idea of that situation. I wouldn't go making a case out of something that isn't there though. I love the fact that all of you have your own views and opinions. It's what makes mingling rich. If you ever take me as someone who does not feel that way, please ask or send me an email. However where I get off the wagon is when people dog on others and try to suggest that their views are not valid or they are not aloud in someway to think the way they do, or making snotty remarks that look like they are in the wrong somehow. Please make note that I did not say anyone was a stick in the mud. My comment was that's what we call getting stuck in the mud. Meaning not being able to bend or move. I think I can speak for my friend cheer up and myself when I say we could care less about your personal preferences or ever wish to put you down for believing in them. I can't imagine where this thought came from or how others picked up that we would think that way. We were talking about someone putting down others rights to have a view, not your personal views and rights to them. We respect all views and were trying to state that, and hoped that these types of talks could be less judgemental and not more.
