I personally have age limits just because my kids are younger. I do not want to date some guy just out of high school. That is too close to my kids' age. I definitely do not want to date some guy close to my parents' age either. It would seem to be more like a "dad" type of relationship. I think it really depends on your comfort level. I would caution on being too narrow minded because not everyone is at the maturity level at the same time. One can be 26 years old and be very responsible because of the environment and experiences they grew up in. Another one could be thirty and not want to grow up and depend on his parents for everything. There is no real black and white answer to this question. �

I feel I should clarify my response.

Personally? I don't give much of a f* what anyone thinks of the things I do, and I'll likely do a lot of the same things later on, this much I'm sure of...But that is the path I choose, and the consequences will be mine to face. There is no point in following shadows, just as there is no point to holding yourself back from potential on account of someone else.

Potential should be met, even if it is on the other side of the tracks.

but l think all you need to do is to just be of yourself and identify what you really want. that's what life is all about BUT you have to again know that sometimes what you want is not what you need!

I have cleaned up this topic. Everyone needs to review the rules, especially 1 & 7

Well said Fear! Who wants to be a Sheep? Not me, or you! I ain't gonna change for anyone and neither should you?

the best potential I have seen has been along those tracks...not that I would know which side is which :) thanks fear

You always say it so well ...As I become more and more sure of myself, I give less and less a f* what peeps think about me...It wasn't always that way and now I can look back and see how impossible it is to please everyone or be liked by everyone...Following "my path" has actually resulted in more admiration from those who "really" know me....Being true to yourself is a very good feeling and it makes for a happier, more content lifestyle....What you said about consequences is key...In order to make this philosophy work, you must be willing to accept the consequences of your action(s) as belonging to you exclusively...Liberating because it's manageable!....

I was wondering for those who have dated someone much younger if they found they viewed things like they did when they were the much youngsters age or have thought that they have actually matured along those lines since then. I thought in some ways that the youngster was still more mature than me. But then at other times she said it came off as a lecture like she got from her dad. She did say that I reminded her so much of her dad and that she was into older guys. If nothing else the experience was not wasted because her dad and her are much closer not that she didn't already still have the utmost respect for her dad.

The young ones I dated sometimes seemed older than me in reguards to their music tastes and daily activities. I'm talking a big age difference and they did view most things as i did. I found that odd but I think younger, they think older so we met in the middle.

OK then! I'll meet you in Kansas!

Hiya Lonely, long time no see Handsome
Where ya been hiding?

Hey Candi! I was giving all my attention to a lady for a while.

Uh huh.Exactly!

Thats awesome

Enough experience has lead me to find out that most young ones can't keep up with my lifestyle, or like the things I like. I would much rather have an older woman in my age range. One that has experienced a lot of life so far. I dont wanna be 24 again. Besides, I was celibate throughout my 20's...lol. Boring ...

I prefer older people as I consider myself to be quite mature.

I don't care..whoever I click with

Candi it should be everyone I click with except HELLSBOY

I'm poppin animal that I sent you a couple hundred you to be.
