At my age it is way more than just a number. I keep getting contacted by 20 and 30 year old's. There is a heck of a generation gap there.

Sometimes my mine turns on, I saw this an WOW. I have just heard this from about FIVE younger men is less 3 days. Yes is a number, so is distance. But these younger people want children I had mine an grandchildren. So what happens when they need to leave their name on a legacy. Can't happen here.And don't wan't to raise any more. So what to do then??? It might be great for a while, but this certianly might happen.It wouldn't be fair or right for me to denigh the pro creation that they want or need. So no it doesn't bother me that they say this .Me myself wouldn't be able to do. OMG. That is another one: is distance just a number? very nice, I hadnt thought of that. Im sure there will be great diversity of opinion on that as well. People who can manage travel will be open and people who cannot, will not be so very. My profile currently says very little, however it is specific when it comes to distance and age, yet people still miss it. Or choose to ignore it.

I hear all the time that "age is just a number." Do you think that's true when it comes to dating? Does it bother you when others don't agree? I think it's a horses for courses sort of thing. It doesn't bother me if others don't agree although what sometimes annoys me is when guys try to convince me otherwise.

If age is just a number, then why would a woman lie about her age?

If age is just a number, then why would a woman lie about her age? Try asking a woman who has lied about her age? I've seen men do it as well.

Does it bother you when others don't agree? it does not bother me when others do not agree with me about most things - this subject is no exception because personal relationships are....personal, and the preferences that make up who we are aren't a matter of choice so much as they are a matter of the truth of how we feel about a thing I do not think age is "just a number" I think that is something younger guys say to try to get me in bed I also think that even though age matters as far as making us who we are - great love will accommodate and even enjoy the differences and nuances of an age difference not for everyone of course - nothing is

Yes Of course you would say that, you're marrying Jesus...huuuge age difference. Jesus would return my calls. He wouldn't confuse me with weird texts while I'm having a nice dream. Jesus loves Mariah.

Age tells you how many times a person has ridden the planet around the sun. A lot of people seem to think there's a correlation between age and wisdom or maturity or whatever, but I have seen little evidence of any such correlation.

Does it bother you when others don't agree? gud topic.for dating age dosent matter but for marriage it definately does.when a man is too old the woman is still young n has physical needs n is likely to chear or supress her natural needs.both r cruel.

Age is just a number until it becomes a issue with who you are dating.I have met some really mature 18 year olds..and I have met some 50 year old teenagers. Still comes down to maturity in my opinion.

People seem to be interested in maturity with regard to age and dating. I dont think age will tell maturity, which is what everyone seems to agree on. It will, however, reveal how willing one is to embrace maturity and reflect the level of responsibility a person is capable of. If someone is highly responsible at age 21, thats pretty impressive, and alternatively, if someone is still trina find someone to do their laundry or pay their bills at age 51, that is 'impressive' too, and surely worth noting. This is why age is not just a number to me. If youre 21 and dont behave in a highly responsible way, that seems fairly reasonable given your age. On the other hand if you are still that person, at age 51, that communicates a great deal more of who you are, in terms of development or life stages. true so to date someone who is 21 to say 25 or 26 I think it would be very easy to have overly high expectations of that person as far as what their NORMAL developmental stage is...so while they might be good people and mature FOR THEIR AGE - it might not be the kind of maturity a 50 y/o is looking for

No, I don't believe age is just a number. Its about life experiences, maturity, and accept that you are aging. I don't think acting young will keep us young but I suppose some people think that way. I am not going to kid myself about my age as I hate it but I accept it and dating someone younger is not going to change that.

Is age just a number when you're in your 40's and you're taking your date to her high school prom? Sounds so bad when your 40 and they are 20....Not so bad when your 80 and they are 60. Just a number to me, and I don't care what others think. My life, not theirs

Age doesnt matter to me its the person...We all mature differently and act as the person we are regardless if your 25 or 40...

I don't pay attention to age, it's rather or not we can do fun things together that counts.
