One of my friends told me the I should concentrate on a Woman my age and older. Because of my profile mental and physical description. My financial status, and work description. And my life insight, and personality. She said they would be more undestanding, and maybe not have as much demands in those areas as someome from 40-47. I have mix thoughts. Aboit all. But leaning towards most of it being true. I guess?

First of all, if you want to catch a fish, don't listen to advice from fish.

Second, date whoever you want. It's no one else's business.

Well I think generally speaking people within about four years either side of your own age is who you will most often find things in common with.

Depends on who is giving you the advice. If it is a close friend who knows your personality and lifestyle then I would take it into consideration.

While I have rarely let anyone else run my relationships if someone is not going to fit into your circle of friends, family, co-workers then it is going to probably effect how easily things go along.

You just have to keep in mind is the person someone
Y-O-U can live with. You are not going to make anyone else happy if you are not happy yourself; wheather dating or a relationship.

I have dated a few drivers now for about a decade. It isn't real serious or intimate but they seem to have no problem with it being that way. Not like I chase them down then I don't just ignore them either. Not exactly tough to send someone a birthday card or Christmas gift. I find most responsible respectable guys and couple of them have introduced me to their girlfriends when that actually occured. Couple I hold Power of Attorney's on because they don't have family and know I would respect their wishes.

I looked at your profile and I don't see anything that outrageousely wrong with you so I would think you could date with pretty much anyone who can deal with your career. If you are gone over the road long spells it might be a little tough if someone was wanting day to day help in one thing or another but with modern things like Skype and computers I see a lot of couples where one is a driver work it out.

I do think being involved with a driver is not unlike being married to any other demanding profession. Woman probably needs to be a little independent and self confident maybe more mature in handleing her own needs. Not like you can just drop out of the cab and walk away from your job at a moments notice.

One thing I have seen is when women find themselves with and empty nest or retired from work it sometimes makes the lonliness of being matched with a driver a problem. Not always do they want to just tag along either. Depends on the person. Sometimes just having a partner around for intense visits only just gets old.

Basically it comes down to communicateing who you are honestly.

Everyone has different age preferences. Just be respectful of others' preferences. I prefer men around my age or a bit younger, but I always have much older men telling me that age is just a number. whoa

Perhaps I was spoilt as my late wife was 60 but looked 40-45. She took great care of her appearance, always looked feminine and dressed well. There is no such thing as an ugly woman but there are lazy ones.

Some of the photos on the website are surely not the best that a person could post in their profile? I dont mean they should deceive and put up something from 10 years ago but frankly some scare me.

Cutting your hair short may be more convenient when raising kids and running a family home but only a few women can carry it off as appealing. You do not have to have flowing locks but a styled hair cut is your best fashion accessory. please dont overdo the make up, that can be scary and not a turn on.

When havng a photo taken smile. I know you may have been through tough times in previous relationships but dont let everyone know that day one. Ease them into it and they may help you through the trauma.

A picture tells a thousand words.

Have to agree that it doesn't matter. Some people have fun with
shocking other people with the crazy age difference. Although I'd
have to say that any age difference greater than 30 years is
definitely "naughty".

Date whatever age group You choose. Sometimes people give advice to others and do not even follow their own advice themself.laugh Whatever Choices we make, we have to deal with that choice, whatever it may bring us.

Interesting that you have all kinds of tips for women to look younger, but not for men.

For men to look younger? It's called, going to the gym, Formula 44, and shaving off those gray whiskers. That's about all we got.

I guess I thought that since he was giving women advice on what to do, he may take his own advice.

I am taking my own advice. During my immediate period of grief I put on 19Kg (41 lbs). I am now working on getting rid of that unwanted fat with eating better and more exercise. I am also getting a haircut regularly as my son commented that I looked like Albert Einstein. Not much I can do about the baldness, its genetic and I have had that condition since I was 21yo. I tried contact lenses but could not handle that so am stuck with seeing eye glasses. Anyting else you would like to add would be appreciated and i will not take offence at honesty.

I thought you ladies might like to offer suggesions as to what a man should do to smarten up? Here's what I thnk:

1) Make sure your body odour is not a problem. Not that you can tell on line but it is a game breaaker. Ask your mates as sometimes you cannot smell your own odour. Ask the pharmacist.
2) Get a haircut
3) Trim those extra pounds. What you eat instead of putting in the waste goes to your waist. Stop buying biscuits, cakes and sweets then it is harder to eat them.
40 Care more about the other person than yourself
5) Get a recent photo
6) Dont lie!!!!!!!!!!!!!
7) If you are attracted to a woman who may be younger compliment her but dont lear unless there is a response. Be genuine.
8) Be a better listener than a talker
9) Be patient
10) Dont lie!!!!!!!!!

Over to you folks.

LOL.......it always gets me about people asking for advice on the age they should date....date whatever makes you feel good! If it's older, so be it; if younger that works too! In the end there are only two people you have to make happy, you and her!

Charlie Chaplin and Rod Stewart got younger women but they were rich. Mere mortals have to reign in their expectations.

I agree, it does not matter the age (as long as they are legal....lol) Bur seriously who cares about age anymore. Im 23 and I will date a man way into his 30's. Its not about age its about mature and being responsible enough to handle a mature relationship :)
