Is age just a number when you're in your 40's and you're taking your date to her high school prom? dunno, but if you find yourself before a judge, I would not use the phrase as a defense. The college prom? |

Let's put this in perspective.
Would you refuse to date someone because of their shoe size? I mean, unless their feet are freakishly huge, let's say the size of aircraft carriers, it wouldn't make any difference to me. Would you refuse to date someone because you didn't like their Social Security Number? Would you reject someone because their IQ score didn't measure up? (I would, but we're talking in general for everybody, in this instance.) Would you turn someone down just because they paid too much for car insurance? The least you could do is tell them about Geico. |

no, shoe size has no bearing on any character or likely experiences, interests, or values of that person, so it wouldnt matter to me
no, a social security number also has no bearing on any character or likely experiences, interests, or values of that person, so it wouldnt matter to me yes, I do prefer a certain level of 'intelligence' in someone that is to be a partner, I want us to understand each other and be able to communicate comfortably no, what someone pays for car insurance is not something I would even t hink to ask, as it also doesnt affect our relationship and has no bearing on any character or likely experiences, interests, or values of that person, so it wouldnt matter to me |

age is nothing but numbers,when you are in a relationship you forget about the age difference and focus on the inner beauty of the person you are dating.it is all about the way he or she makes feel.so what people thinks dosen't matter as long as you are happy in the reletionship.

Ok.....
On the serious side....... Maturity comes to some at different times in their lives. But I prefer within 6 yrs of my age either way!! Just me............ |

The least you could do is tell them about Geico. I don't really see how any of those compare. I do like intelligent people, though. I can't do dumb. |

... no, a social security number also has no bearing on any character or likely experiences, interests, or values of that person, so it wouldnt matter to me Sort of. If the first three numbers of his social security number are significantly lower than yours he's going to be a lot older than you. How can some one young have much in common with someone who is twice their age? Maturity levels only go so far. How mature can a 25 year old be in comparison with a 50 year old? Yes, age makes a difference. MHO: any 20 something guy saying he is attracted to a 50 something woman either is after sex or has a mother (grandmother) complex. By nature a 20's something man should be attracted mainly to a 20's something woman. |

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 dunno, I hadnt really thought of it from that perpective--'kind of maturity'. I meant with my example of the 51 yr old, that it was 'impressive' that they could delay adolescence for so long. I suppose we have to acknowledge that maturity can be expressed in a variety of pleasing ways...pleasing to at least someone that is. I was watching Big Bang Theory with my kid last nite and we laughed about how one of the young men 'chose' his girlfriend over his mother but expected her to take on the role of his mother. When confronted with her pointing at that, the young man was unable to even see it. yes I have experienced that also sometimes men look at the role a mother plays and expect other women who care for him to be that way as though those behaviors or expectations are a demonstration of love and the absence of them meaning she doesn't care (like when his GF doesn't do his laundry....or anything his mom normally did for him) - it is confusing love with gender roles and ignoring the need for gender roles to be defined separately with his partner from what his mother's role is or was
