The women have definite issues. The above woman poster exhibits that and it's unfortunate.
Good bye for now.



Talk about the pot calling the kettle....

For me personally, 23 is pushing it just a bit. I'm sure you are a great guy, but with my past experiences of dating younger guys always ending up being immature, I'm just not sure if I'd want to chance that again.

I haven't met any other women of quality that wants a guy the age of their sons. If a guy wants to date a woman over five years their senior, a therapist visit should be considered, why they choose this way, the family history. I'm not trying to be sarcastic or mean at all. I apologize for that understanding but am being direct in my approach.
With that said, you want a nice, good female. Those that gravitate to a significant age difference I have found is often unstable. There are nice people in your age range. Try it out more than once unless you find a great gal! Good luck!
I mean, the women are unstable i.e., addictions, need for mental health. Be careful with that. I have already heard from nice guys who have gravitated towards a significant older person from themselves, friend.
:smile:


You should know about this flower...no! I can't talk about that yet! We must have a grounded stable environement to bring the flower up!

Honestly, there is nothing wrong with a younger guy dating an older lady...only issue is if either one of them has an issue with it, where there are two consenting adults...no issue.


If it works for the guy, it's for sex, usually as your answer sent the message. I said what I know and have spoken with guys who had other interests in that relationship,too. Both have instability in some regard.
I'm only speaking about this question that the original poster mentioned. The women have definite issues. The above woman poster exhibits that and it's unfortunate.
Good bye for now. Good luck to the original guy. :smile:


Well of course I have issues...but most of those are drug related, but a wonderful world these issues do place me in. A place where I don't care about anyone's opinion as long as I am happy, this place is called my insanity...or is it sanity? Either or, this place is peaceful.smokin

alrighty then...I guess I am sold on the idea...but my family would have a cow or two....



I had to deal with that at first, but honestly a family is not something you drag into dating first date out anyway, right?

My kids are at a place where they realize now I will never date someone my age again. That said, they are ok with it. They want ME happy and all they look for in a guy is someone who treats me great.

I love my kids. They love me. love

Isn't that the truth? "Issues" is someone who begins the mud slinging in the first place because someone else thinks outside the box. Scares them I guess.

Unfortunate ?? Me ?? I am one of the most blessed positive women - absolutely NOTHING unfortunate about that. :wink: Oh ya babyyyyyyy :banana:

I have to add here Moonlight .. that I didn't start looking for younger guys.

They began hittin me up constantly and at last I agreed to go out with one who I did feel a chemistry with.

I wouldn't date a younger guy just cuz he's younger. Chemistry still has to be in place and be the driving force .. it's just chemistry seems to happen with me only with younger .. that's all. make sense?

I understand that cuz most of the guys that chat with me are way younger...I just thought they thought we were easy...so I never really consider one...I am ashamed to say...

Well OP should definitely weigh in on the 'easy' I'm sure he'll disagree on that .. I know I do.

Easy? No.

Experienced? Yes.

1. Unwillingness to date someone young enough to be their child

2. Unwillingness to date someone young enough to be their child

3. Unwillingness to date someone young enough to be their child

4. objections of friends and family

5. public perception (like it or not this matters to most)

6. Not enough common ground (frame of reference, life experiences etc.)


finally someone gets it....

can I frame this?

Plus or minus 15 years usually isn't considered old enough to be your child, although with the way the world is today that is becoming the normal I suppose. Also, just because you are older does in no way mean you have more life experiences.

Actually I have 5 kids and the oldest is 16 years younger than me. The youngest is 15. There are more years between 3 of the siblings and their oldest sister than there are between me and my daughter. Ya. And]last time we were together they thought she was my sister.

And my oldest SIL? He's only 8 years younger than me. Certainly NOT someone I would consider a SON .. yet he's my SIL. I see him more like a Bro in law. He actually looks older than most guys I date.

So age? Stupid parameter we put on our lives to make us feel somewhat moral? I don't know. Unless they are a minor and you're not, I still say ...

Who GIVES a rat's ass? :tongue:

I'm just curious about the age restrictions. I have never dated a woman younger than I am, because I tend to enjoy older more mature women. The thing is most of the women older than me in the above age group seem to have disdain or unwillingness to even give a younger man my age a chance. scared


Watch out cougers, he's coming out of the closet, with guns blazing!

I have mixed feelings about what is going to be right in a relationship.

A woman dateing someone their own age give or take three or so years you generally have the expectation that you are going to have a similar life expectancy.

If you date a man significantly younger you are probably going to leave that man to live alone in his much later years. Perhaps with newer health habits and less defined gender roles he may have more skills to maintaining himself in the home situation but eventually he is going to be totally dependent. With women out numbering men the number of male beds is very limited. Many caregivers just don't want to deal with older men. If you love a younger man you need to plan for that.

I don't know that a younger man looking like your child would be such and issue unless you are looking for a younger edition of your ex but I think that would turn him off pretty early in the relationship. I suppose there are guys that would like to somehow one up their Dad by pretending they are a peer but who knows. Hopefully a relationship would be more about the people involved but that is rare in it's purest form.

I am past your age frame but the one considerably younger guy I did date was more mature and worldly than the local men my age so the nothing in common might be out weighted by being interesting.

So much for my two cents worth...back to my movie.
