It depends.. Just a quick hit and run or a long lover or marriage relationship?

a quick hit and run? Classy

Yep, 50 here, dated 2 women last year who were in their 30's
One 34 the other 35.
The 34 dropped me when she found out I was 49 at the time.
The 35 yr old was surprised too.

Hey I thought they were older than that too. Its not like you can just ask a woman about that ya' know.

I am dating a 46 yr old now, and that is just right for the BOTH OF US.

Yeah but that isn't the same as SEVENTY SIX YEARS OLD!!!!!! I'm only 46! just ewww

Yeah, that would be like me perv'n a 20 yr old.

Or me, perving my Dad! HA!

And that's just wrong no matter what the ages! YIKES!

No kiddin!!! This just freaked me out!!!

LOL a fact of life is people have limits about age.

i have a limit before i personally start feeling uncomfortable. especially if you're starting to get closer to being able to date my mom over me.

i choose not to date guys younger than me because i'm not comfortable with that either.

and seriously andy.. you're always complaining about the people in LA.

why don't you leave or something?? really... LOL

i have a limit of `10 years. if i feel super comfortable with a man over that limit... i may change it. if i don't, then i make that clear.

and the creepy old man thing is when it doesn't stop. when the matter is pushed and the discomfort begins.

lol everyone has preferences. whether it be age, size, skin color, laugh, financial status... whatever.

I have and lived in Redding for five years. The work situation up there stank. I wound up coming back to LA because I know where my dollars come from. Things lately with gas hitting almost 5 a gallon last June all but destroyed me. I am surviving but that does not count here. LA is all about one-upmanship. I also have business interests here and am not about to just bail on that unless I find truly greener pastures elsewhere. I don't relocate unless I see a need or reason to. I just choose not to be like the shallow sheeple that live here but alt least I can complain because I live it. Its called venting and people do that from time to time.
I sort of think it is a kind of personal firewall I set up to filter out the fakers from the real people. It ain't perfect but it is something. At least I can honestly say if I was all that why ain't I a millionaire at this moment? Then again if I was I would not be in LA now would I? I would be living on some coastal acreage with enough land around me to insure my nearest neighbor was a couple of miles away at least! Life is what it is and I deal with it the best I can without wearing it on my sleeve too much.

At least I don't think I wear it on my sleeve that much. At least I HOPE I ain't. At least I don't live in NY! Been there, don't like it at all and I also do not like San Francisco! Portland OR was not bad. Kind of funny how different girls are in other cities because LA is like living in an ice box. At least in Redding I was had a lot less of a problem getting dates. go fig. Too bad the job market up there stank so bad!

if someone is old enough to be my father than i do believe they are too old for me to date... but that doesnt mean i wont be friends or flirt with someone just because of their age.

Agreed, everyone has preferences but your preferences can be stated in a respectful manner, not by calling folks 'old and creepy' or 'cottontails', or by making blanket assumptions about folks of certain age for which you have not achieved and know nothing about.

The thing I get a real kick out of is, these young people say "old" like it's a bad thing, and they're giving absolutely NO consideration to the fact that they themselves aren't getting any younger! I'm not sure if they realize this, but they're going to be our age, too, one day.

Morons.

Hell Im so old I remember the Red Sea being pink!!!!!

Well, seeing as all women don't think the same, of course we're all going to think differently about who is too old to date. I probably wouldn't date anyone more than 10 years older than me. However, that's a preference and doesn't mean that I'm saying anyone over 40 is old. Why does it bother you so much that some people think you're too old for them to date?

You talk about being offended about what people say to you, yet you turn around in your post and insult others. Strange how that works, huh?

O.k. here I go once again proving I DID NOT read how to make friends and influence people


This is such a touchy subject. Personally I think age is a number and irrelevant in a relationship as long as the two people involved find a common meeting ground and are happy with each other. That being said I think it is all about personal preferences. In my own experiences and preferences I acclimate better dating gentlemen younger than me simply because of my interests. I am very very active and into some pretty extreme sports and not to generalize but it has been very hard to get the over 50 crowd to do these things with me (not saying that some wouldn't I am sure I just haven't found them YET)~


I think that stating your personal preferences straight out is great although some people could benefit from a course in tact and diplomacy. And should use the filtering options as to who can contact them instead of insulting people.


Only YOU know who and what will aid your happiness so don't let anyone's conception of what should make you happy cloud your decisions when it comes to whom you date or build your life with.


Best of luck to us all and may we find our perfect fits~

i'm 35 so 36 is old.
j/k


. . .

Me, too! I'm not sure exactly what I would consider "old" at this stage of my life. The other day I was talking to a friend, and we were trying to decide what exactly the "middle-age" range is....anyone know? I told her I think we may have moved into the senior range. I take advantage of every senior discount I can get, and I do it proudly!

But of course that would all change if I found one that actually was attracted to me and wanted to be more than friends
