I been from Tucson to Timken carrying hay
Tehachapi to Tonapah.
I've driven every kind of rig that's ever been made
Driven the back roads so I wouldn't get weighed.
And if you give me
Weed
Whites
And wine
And show me a sign
Then I'll be willin

and if that don't mean nothin to ya then you're prolly too young for me

in a relationship,does age matters.

When it all boils down to it, it all depends on the couple involved in the relationship and how THEY feel.
I'm 42, young at heart & very active, dating a mature 30 year old and its working fine for us.

Age does matter in some senses, how you would have anything in common with someone twenty years older than you its just not a mixture for a good relationship. I wouldn't date more than 7 years my senior, just because i couldnt see myself falling for anyone older. Thats just the way it is. :smile:

And besides, if they are much younger than fourty I just can't get em to shut up

Younger than thirty and we don't have anything to talk about except, "So, what did you do in school today?"

Yes age means a lot to me. I currently have a five year difference limit. Later in life Ill change that to ten. But it is important that you aren't older then that.

Why do I believe this. Yes If I fall in love with a 35-40 year old that's awesome. We fall in love she's beautiful and I'm good.

But when I'm 45 she is what 60! When I'm 60 she's 75-80!

Why is this an issue? Because shell be sent to an old folks home I cant be with her. I want to grow old with the girl I love. But also the average life expectancy for a human is what 75.

Then what about having kids? I'm still not 100% I want kids but if I dated a 35-40 year old wed have to pop one out fast or no deal. If she already had kids great but they will never actually be mine I can love them as much as I want or can but they will never be mine.


So many problems occur!

It is far better for the two to be within a ten year difference. My Grandma and Grandpa are 9 years apart and one of my foster parents were 11 years apart and that survived 15+ years. But I haven't seen a relationship work with a greater distance then that.

Well I have the guy was loaded and when I say loaded I mean loaded. She wasn't going anywhere that money kept her there.

But that's not a loving relationship!

Well! I was just chastised by my 6' tall, handsome 21 year old son (who I'd told I'd have no issue if he dated a 28 year old I know) about my reticence to date men much younger than me. noway

Kids! Can't drown 'em and you they sure as heck aren't going back the way they came!

An email sent just the last day pretty much explains why "youngsters" don't appeal to me. Almost twenty years my junior this person felt it necessary to say out of twelve breif sentences seven centering around the word "I" and two were demand statements to tell him something or help him do something. Closeing with a Thank You and previously directed unwelcome Hugs and Kisses and another site address.

Sorry kiddo's no does not mean yes and what part of not interested makes younger guys think it just means try harder? Does this actually work even with younger women?

Sure does not work with me to be assigned duties or be subjected to a commercial rather than conversation to have a date or a relationship.

Doesn't mean you never run into that kind of self isnterest in a peer age person but at least you can actually chat about mutual experiences.

I gotta be able to hold an intelligent conversation with her.
She has to be able to understand and enjoy my humor. and I hers.
This aint gonna happen with someone 2 or 3 decades removed from me.
As Texasgal said......
at 53.......
40 is pretty much my low end.
But I don't date older than me either. Just hasn't been a good thing for me.
So......
My age to 40.
Yes....It matter to me!!!

Age is not a factor in who I'm with. Connections mean everything and that's not determinate by age.


The connection is everything. :thumbsup:

It does to me. I'm not interested in dating someone my dad's age or a kid who is in a completely different place in his life than I am. Either way, I'm not trying to babysit now or later.

I don't want to raise a child...but there's a lot of men my age who are O-L-D in spirit. I wanna be 12. Anyone want to play?

Age doesn't really matter until you are in a very serious relationship and thinking marriage. My Dad married someone 19 years younger and when he was ready to just kick back and relax..she was ready to do things. When he was 50 she was only 31...she liked a whole different type of music then he did. He said she acted like a child and was young and in love...he was just ready to enjoy a quiet life.
I think if you just want to be friends and have a good time, then age is not a big deal. I do think you need to think about what if we really fall IN love and this last longer then what anyone thinks it will? Am I willing to take care of my mate when he is older and is sick? I guess you just have to think it all out.
AND YES I HAVE DATED YOUNGER!!!

And what if you're SO suffers an accident? She could be brain damaged and live another 50 years unable to understand that you love her.

My point is none of us know how much time we have together. If you meet someone you connect with you should take advantage of the moment because it may end at any time.

For any variety of reasons...
Carpe Diem! In love, in life, in general.

Point well made.

Personally I think maturity level is much more important than actual age. I've met some very childish 40-50 year olds and some extremely mature 20 something year olds. My dating age range is therefore pretty wide because you just never know by the birth year what you're really getting into. I get to know them as a person and judge whether we're compatible short term or long term by how we get along, what we have in common, and whether we're both heading in the same direction in life.
