The older they are the less trustworthy What the heck! I am 72 and if I tell you to jump off the plane without parachute or I shoot you, trust me I will shoot you if you don't jump. I am very trustworthy that way.  
I'm very impressed, btw. For 72 you sure don't look 72. |

I think it depends what you are looking for. Mature age people are often looking for friendship, company, conversation etc in which case, age is of little import. However, if one is looking for a relationship age has more bearing. In the end, think it comes down to attraction - its difficult to form a relationship at any age if there is no attraction.
Many men (me) suffer from what psychologists often refer to as the "Peter Pan" syndrome - Peter, in the story, never got any older. Some guys are like that - internally, they remain at about 35 years old, while the outside grows wrinkled and infirm. They see women of their own age group as akin to dating mum. |

Reminds me of a older man I took care of he was 87 every time his wife came to visit ( she was 85 ) after she would leave he would say " who is that old lady"or he would think she was her mom , sad but funny. And I found a lot of old men thought they were younger than they actually were. |

I'd prefer older one coz he'll be mature enough to handle a relationship. but some people are already in their 50's but acted as if they are still in their 20's
 .. But i will still chose the older one coz ive been with someone 3 years younger than me and it didnt work out.. (i didnt know he was younger than me then)
