What is up with the post about the age differences?? I mean we r all adults ok. Do what you want date who you want......Its NO ONE elses life and really NO ONES business but your own. Stop worrying about what society thinks about it or the righteous down the street. Live your life. Just a voice of opinion.

Here's another one.

I was married to somone that was significantly older than me he was awful.

so I would say that each person and their situation is different. I would still date or marry an older man as long as he was not too old.

I know right!!!!!! One after another........

Welcome to mingle. Feel free to start a new subject.

Ha ....I agree. It's really just the same as any other relationship, you're in it while it's good and you leave when it's not. What's the diference?

ok for age difference
would you date someone that was around your own child age

i had a guy the other day from another dating site
email me which he doesnt live that far from where i live
and i had to email him back to see if his age was correct
it was
hes 70yrs old

Good greif!!! im not dating someone that is around my own father age
and im deffentl not looking or wanting a dang suger daddy
i plainly told him off and stated what i just said here

Learned from my previous lovers that age is irrelevant - if she thinks
she can handle me when she is 18 well maybe she's right!

yeah, ID have to say the family dynamic is pretty important to me. I dont want to be with a man who could be my kids classmate nor my dads,,lol


somewhere in the middle is much more desirable

he has to be about my age or older, the difference does not matter.

i don't think it matters... as long as he/she loves you...

Obviously everyone has different views on age. For some, it won't matter. For others, it will matter.

i would take a wild guess
that if the person is a minor
then jailbait would truly be in question

i think age matters... i cant picture myself settling down and marrying someone who is 20 years older than i am... i couldn't imagine bringing someone home to meet the parents, and them being about the same age... Maybe someone would be worth changing my mind on that, or maybe not...

but if its just for dating and just having a good time... age difference doesn't matter much to me...

OH COOL,,,,How about thirty more,,




another one lost forever to my aged old body of dispare and gloom







just kidding

I'm just tossing in my 2¢ here, playing devil's advocate — since I really do believe that it's generally a non-issue if two people connect and want to be together. If someone is posting in community chat asking for advice, however, it might be that they are concerned that there are hidden problems if s/he were to become involved with someone significantly older or younger. It seems there could be a legitimate concern, perhaps afraid that there wouldn't be enough common ground between them, or afraid of being hurt or hurting someone younger who isn't emotionally ready, or suspicious of the motives of someone hitting on them from a different generation, etc. Honestly, I figure if people genuinely enjoy one another's company, despite any age difference, then they should relax and enjoy each other, but I do understand why some people might feel a bit awkward about it and want to discuss the situation a bit.

ok
what about that actor that is what in his 50s
and he got permission to marry a 16yr old
thats totally way insane
the parents should be thrown in the slammer
and the actor to

I consider that to be a travesty. It isn't love. It's statutory rape — even if the state allows for it. I don't believe a 16 year old is mature enough to make such decisions and is certainly not emotionally ready for a serious commitment of this sort. Most people in their 20s aren't ready for real commitment, and to thrust that upon a confused 16 year old is criminal. The parents see dollar signs and are thus selling their daughter into an unhealthy arrangement. It's sick. Society imposes certain conventions to protect minors, and this is a case in which a minor needs some protection.

I think this gets a little off topic, however, since I don't think people here are talking about child abuse when referring to a significant age difference. At least, I hope nobody is advocating for such.

COMPATIBILITY is the big issue

Height is also no big deal, but I think most people may have a 'preference' for someone closer to their own height for physical compatibility, or some may want a small woman or a tall man


these are all just preferences, hopefully, if they become mandates it may be an issue,, same with age except with good reason

on a forum, I do have a mandate just because there are SO many people its a way to widdle them down, like the no tattoos, no piercings, kind of thing

but in REAL TIME , if I were spending regular time with someone on a routine basis, we could find other areas of compatibility that would totally render those preferences irrelevant


I can fall for most anyone (except those under 30 or over 60), physically speaking, in RT,

but on the internet, I Find it more logical to kind of compartmentalize a bit more...
