To me age has always been just a number. When two people can connect with each other that's what makes the real difference. Good luck in making your decition.

Screw all that.

My woman and I ain't the same age. She don't care how much younger I am. I don't care that she is older than me.

She is a gorgeous woman with some of the best love I have ever had.

If you got an interest that stimulates your mind, body and spirit....go for it!

Age and legalities are just things that you can work around.

He is too old for you. When I was 28, I started to date a 51-year-old and we went out for nine solid years, then she got married and I did not, and we reconnected when she got widowed for the second time, as a millionairess.

She looked like a movie star, and still does. Someone mentioned Rhonda Fleming on another thread today.

I still see her occasionally, but she sure is a tight-wad despite her millions. All she wants is sex, sex, sex, and now that she can't get it from me, she dates a retiredmen residence. Retire, mend, residence. Retirement residence. Heck.

Prison break. You have to carry it out by carrying him out piggy-back style. (Very romantic, if you think about it. "Abduction from the Serai of Gianni the "Soap-warrior" Brutto".)

At least that's the revered and age-old national tradition in the old country where I come from.

NOW there was an old country which was no country for old men.

I know a couple who have been together for 12 years-married for 9 and there is a 20 year age gap.Never before have i spoken with a man so devoted to his wife.He is in his 40's now.
It would do no harm to chat awhile and see what pans out!!!

Good luck x

Cool! I can't wait to find out.

Oh, that's so sweet.:

Al right peoples,
I'm not the cougar type, ok? If you only knew me... you'd actually warn the guy to watch out.
Anyhow, I just responded asking him how come he never approached me before on campus? (Because he had stated he's a part time professor at CSULA.) I don't know peoples... I feel some fishiness in my gut. I'll know more soon.
To be continued.

I personally never dated younger...but now that i am getting older, haha. . . they are getting better looking..LOL.

I think as long as you are comfortable with the situation and the individual...it is up to you. Also, a man who is significantly younger but not necessarily young, is not a bad deal at all. It would be different if he was like 18 or 21. I think anything over 25-30 then he is a man regardless...perhaps aware of his goals by now and aspirations. That is what will connect you. Good luck.

A professor at 28 smells very wrong...(red flag)

Thank you. He graduated with a Masters of Fine Arts in Dramatic Writing in Film, Television, Theatre this past June. I'm around professors all day long and that at a VERY liberal University, so I know about them quite a bit. Well, who's to say I'm not a crazy psychopath. Maybe he should watch out who he's dealing with. (I can't find a psychopath smiley face.)

Just thinking....
...What will that person feel/think if he comes accross this topic?

The woman I talked about... the last thing she ever wanted to do was to date a guy like me, a young one. She was always into men her age, or older, who were farmers. She was a preacher's daughter and a farm girl.

But I stayed at her apartment after our very first date, and would not leave, so she decided to get rid of me by screwing me. This was in the first year of the 80s. Which she did.

The rest was history.

I, on the other hand, have always been a cougar-hunter. I also have an elephant-feller gun, and a rabit potshot-shooter, and also a piece of sewing thread that I can shoot with. Oops, this last one, sorry, it's a biologial attachment I carry around, never mind, oops, wrong thing to say, oops, too much information, oops, I just came into my pants.

All this sex talk, you see. Dirty old man, I is. I will flagellate myself presently, and flagellate myself hard.

People mature at different ages. But given that they can still be on the same wavelength. They can still be looking for the same thing. But given that they can be on flights of fancy at times. I like your comment on the Twilight Zone. I can remember thinking it would be good to date someone younger so maybe I could catch up with them on maturity since I heard that women mature faster than men. But the problem with that would be that she would still have to be in Kindergarten for me to catch up with her. So I thought it might be cool to date someone older than me so that maybe I could learn from her and maybe catch up on maturity but I ruled that out since I would probably cop an attitude of, "You're not my mom." I substantiated this from reading the forums of women wanting strong men who knew what they wanted and who are mature enough for a relationship. So I thought it would be cool to date someone the same age group as me. But, of course, I thought that couldn't work because we would just clash or that has been my experience so far. I finally came to the conclusion that she just doesn't exist.

The clashes I have found are my own issues. I have become set in my ways. what I have enjoyed in solitude is that I don't have to change for someone else. I can be myself. But that always comes up as a problem as soon as I come into a new relationship. The first thing the other person wants to do is change me. I don't want to change in all areas as I am happy being the way I am in many areas. It is an acceptance issue for me. I accept them the way they are without trying to change them but that hasn't been reciprocated.

maybe this one-- , hahaha or this one--

Over the last couple of days, I've had some emails from much younger men around 18 - 20. Each of them kept telling me "baby, age is just a number!" And how much they liked "older women." Apparently early 30s is now considered older?

I get the same ones.
Apparently they have NO standards :-)

Age is irrelevant if you like each other.
