Before I post this I want everyone to know I'm not talking about me. It's just something that came to mind. I'm curious to what folks in general think. Men and women.


You're 35. You're at a party with lots of different people. This person approaches you and starts talking to you. Average, But nice looking. This person is 50.

Seems like a good person and very datable. Would you consider dating this person? Or is 50 to old? Or would that even be a factor in whether you dated this person or not?

I once dated someone 18yrs older. There would have to be some kind of attraction for me to consider dating that person. So no, age is not a factor.
:tongue:

Probably not, I have a lot of friends who are 20 years older than me but I've never been attracted to them physically.

Interesting question. I just came out of a relationship with someone who was 45. I'm 33. He broke up with me because he wanted me to experience motherhood and a family and he didn't want to go through that again. We had discussed having a child together and he was just waiting for the green light at that time and then it was like a switch that went off and he decided he didn't want to deal with everything that comes with a little one. He has two children, teens, already.

I think age is just a number most times. I've seem some grown arse men act like kids and some younger fellows with a great sense of responsibility. Its all about finding someone who you feel comfortable with. Older or younger.

I am not into dating older men!!!I think it's pathetic to see all of these retired men 60+ shopping online for a younger woman. There is no attraction and they are just plain BORING and live in the past.They had their fun, so stop keeping ME from having my fun!

When I was 44 I was dating a woman who I met at a party. She was 25. The first time I met her I wouldn't have even thought about dating her because she was so much younger than me. If we hadn't got thrown together that night at that party I would have missed one of the best parts of my life.


I learned while dating her that it isn't about the age of the woman. It's about the maturity level of the person and how well you jell together. We jelled very well together for almost five years. Long story short. I should have went to England with her.

I read a lot where people in general turn there noses up to people of certain ages. To me it seems we limit ourselves by closing to many doors. I can understand a 50 yr old man/woman shouldn't be trying to date a 18 yr old girl/boy. Way to big of an age gap there. But a 50 yr old man/woman with a 35 yr old man/woman, Shouldn't it be based on maturity level and where they are in there lives instead of just the number?

personally, i do not surround myself with these factors, (age,wealth,skin color,location,religion) when dating,.if i feel an attraction to somebody, i talk to him and "feel" his depth...all these "must be's"?..why?..who's to know that the one you let go just because he is older/younger, might have made you complete?...

50 would be too old for me. I prefer men around my age or a bit younger. It's just what works best.

If there was a mutual affinity between us I would be very happy to date, I do not see age as a barrier to forming a loving relationship.

I'd have had no problem with helping doing the diapers all over again!!
Sure, kids are work, but they are more fun than a barrel of monkeys!

Courtney Stodden stepped out Wednesday with her husband, Doug Hutchison, at The Grove in Los Angeles sporting a surprising and quite shocking new look. Get ready to do a double-take!

The teen bride, who just celebrated her 18th birthday last month, showed off newly dyed locks and fresh makeup while out with her 52-year-old hubby ... and the transformation is incredible! Stodden now sort of resembles Blake Lively -- with a twist of Taylor Momsen.

It's about the maturity level of the person and how well you "jell" together.


@ klc

Apparently you don't know what the term "jell" means in this paragraph.It means your "compatibility" with each other. How well you "mix".
