Age does matter to me. The bigger the age gap, the less likely we'll have much in common and the more likely we'll be at different places in life. I find that for dating, late 20s to mid 30s works well for me. well everyone is different my friend some don't judge a person cause of a age before they even know them ,you may be surprised how in common people can be with different ages ,if you opened your horizon on different ages and gave them a chance , but its your choice ,its just a suggestion :) I don't think she was so much judging them for their age as much as the different places in life at different times. Most people do go in stages in their life at different ages. She just wants somebody on the same as herself. Whats wrong with that? I'm glad someone understood what I was trying to say! It all comes down to preferences. Some women are ok with much bigger age gaps. Some are not. We all find what works best for us.

I found for myself ,the older I got the less the gap mattered, within reason that is.

Whats wrong with that? yes but a lot of people with different ages have the same things in common to, and her first line was ...Age does matter to me... so it is a judge ...shes judging people through their age, instead of getting to know the person in different age gaps ,i know you are saying people with her age she would have more in common with but you would never know until you tried other age groups right? and if you block other age groups, saying they have less in common ,then already you judged them by age before you even know them ,so yes it is a judge :) but she can do what she likes its up to her and nothing wrong with that ,all i said she may lose out in a lot of nice people that have things in common too at a different age:)

But you are right too as far as everybody is different and some people get along very well even with a huge age gap. I myself prefer men younger than myself because most of them older than me are dead lol

Now talking about things in common, I could go off on that one. I have so much more in common with likened people than I do with others, and there is no age barriers or gaps. Artsy people have a way of spanding huge age spreads and are often color blind, culture blind, money blind and age blind. We have a hunger and respect for each others gifts and beauty both in and out. I think we even look at each other as art. Putting an age limit on feelings, knowledge and love would seem very weird to my crowd.

An often asked question so maybe it deserves often answers. No limits in my book. The universe is so full of possibilities I would hate to be the one who shut the door only to miss out on an experience of love and companionship that might be brilliantly designed by the heavens. We build our own walls, unfortunately sometimes we forget to put in windows. and in some countries they forget to put in the doors too lolll cheers

Sorry, I'm not going to just change my mind about my preferences and what I'm attracted to just because a few people here don't like it. Cheer up was saying earlier that I was judgmental. Seems as though everyone else is as well.

We all know couples who have large age spans, I do anyway. It seems to me that 'society' whispers 'cougar' when the woman has chosen younger and has admiration for a man who has chosen younger.
