Topic: whats age got to do with it ... | |
---|---|
Older women in the forty-ish set are particularly harsh in their regards toward a man near their age dating a woman twenty years his junior. It intimidates them because they know that there could be true love there, not simply a gold-digging twenty-year-old dating an older man simply to lay siege to his credit cards. And the man in the equation may simply be intent only upon having a baby with her so any children may have a young, more energetic mom who can keep up with them. He may not be interested in having a young wife simply as a trophy to show off to his friends. This intimidates older women to no end. They try to brand him a pedophile, and the girl a gold-digging slut-puppy. In some countries, young girls much prefer much older men...and it's not merely for financial gain. Boys their age are often just that-boys, and have no sense of responsibility. And they are often only intent upon offering one thing to the relationship. Well, well, well. Someone thinks he's got all of us older women figured out. |

Well, well, well. Someone thinks he's got all of us older women figured out. Sorry if I touched a nerve, but in attempting to understand the opposite sex, honest conclusions are sometimes unsettling. Yin and Yang each have their own inherent quirks. |

if we are going to generalize I think the age thing may not be as much an issue with men because they are often only concerned with appearances and and women,, probably, are more likely to be considering the mutual responsibility in a relationship,, and whether their partner is in a similar intellectual/emotional stage to share those responsibilities with,,, You may enjoy a little documentary called, "The Science of Sex Appeal", available NOW on Redbox DVD. |

oops - I thought the OP was the guy above with the blonde hair. My mistake - I was not referring to the OP. Are you referring to MOI? I'm not trying to rile anybody. I've just lost patience w/ certain persistent, societal issues that deep-down we all have the answers for, but no one is ballsy enough to display on the table for discussion. Pursuing a general consensus through debate and mutual compromise won't always be comfortable OR civil. |

don't think much about it . if we click we click, but a radical age difference would be too extreme to work. I have dated younger and we usually get along pretty well. I do see alot of pointless generalizations on here, mostly about women that are not only inacurrate but well.........pointless lol If two people are dating for all the right reasons, and not for selfish ones, then I see no problem with that. A kid dating an eighty year old woman though? Of course love is strange. And it's also on television. a kid dating any adult is strange. I was assuming we were referring to adults only but ya, the geriatric patient with the teenage bride is a bit difficult to comprehend, certainly I never thought of myself as a kid at 24. I had already been living on my own paying my own bills for 7 years. Many people have finished college by 24 and/or already millionaires in their own right so just because there is an age gap does not mean the younger half is a child. There 36 year old women dating 50 year olds. I think at certain stages in your life your mind has evolved.... When we say kids, I think of 10-17 year olds. Whoa! Millionaires in their own right at 24? These kids most likely have rich parent's that make them look like millionaires. For a kid to get educated and hope to be a big shot, it takes time. I would think the percentage of guys being self made millionaires at the time they're 24 is very few and far between! |

this topic has really taken off ... the basics of it in my mind go on two virtues 1) you have to connect with the other person, i always believe this to be unrelated to age, wealth, upbringing, background, color, etc. it is all related to the fact that you can feel something for the other person 2) you have to be comfortable to be seen in public, otherwise it will never work. some people would not want to date a person with an age gap because of their career implications, family and so forth. other than that there shouldn't be anything you can not work through. I agree, and it is up to no one but the two individuals involved. I think the OP is simply a wind up trying to start trouble, but the topic can definitely be a good discussion, ignoring that. It's been discussed on here many times before. It turns out to be mainly about individual preference. My benchmark for a younger man is his level of sincerity, whether he is genuine or playing games, or just after sex. Is he realistic? Can he carry on a conversation?....is he infatuated with cougar mythology, or is there a relationship potential? Dating a younger man is no different than a man my age dating young women, but it's not nearly as acceptable socially....comments are made about wrinkles and tummies etc etc as women age. Why aren't those same types of comments made about older males? In any event, if you love someone things like wrinkles and bad hair days don;t matter so much...lol Wow sweet, the OP IS the person WC whom you just quoted. It's a legit question and for those of us who have not been on here forever or recently or whatever the case, we don't all have privy to every topic that has ever been posted. I know - I thougt I was on pg1 and that was the OP...I straightened it out already. Like your new hair. I meant to say hello and welcome back and tell you that I like the new color when I was on here last night! Actually techncially you are privy to every topic that has been posted in the indexes I meant that more as to say it seems to be a popular topic lately. Good to see you! Thanks, I've been busy busy busy, I know when I was new people can be vicious here and I remember them saying stuff about already posted topics to new members, it just seems unfair when you aren't familiar with the system. |

Personally,i've found most younger men to be immature amd less mental stimulation and have a rich experience that i tap into,security,....
Thats why i prefer an older man to a man younger than i.....they still have a lot to discover,lots to learn and a lot more jumpy,,etc....and at almost 35,i have my own rich life experiences!! |
