Far as my preferred ages of MY TYPE of woman, I will go for 10 years my junior to one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel.

Age is just a number. It is the maturity level the individuals are at.

You're hilarious! Love that!

I think that's totally true luv

Wen luv is involve, age is jst a num. It depend on luv nd understanding

age is nt just a number,it really matters to me.

Hiiii

I think the only things that matter are how you get along and how you treat each other. In the long run how
Could anything else really matter?

That is so wrong. You need a heck of a lot more than love to keep a relationship together as love isn't enough.

Navygirl can you please tell me what else it takes so I know what to look for?

How about life experiences? How about shared interests outside of the bedroom? Whether you both want a family or are at an age where you simply don't want to raise anymore children? How about travel? Maybe as you age; you don't like to live out of suitcases or don't like camping where as a young person may well enjoy it? Music tastes could well differ. How about financial status of both of you? Do you really want a gold digger or someone using you as a walking ATM? Are you both the same fitness level which is doubtful if a person is half your age.

Navygirl...Lol
Wow I guess we see love differently... I've always thought love encompassed all of those things in a relationship... but in a relationship most people forget to be the friends they usually started out as... a love that trandcends age

I don't think there is any wrong or right answer to the age question... I think its just a matter of what works for you

I think more logically about things. I think from my head; not my emotions. To me love is just one element of a relationship. Love does not help one to think rationally which is important to me. People rush into love sometimes out of desperation as they don't want to be alone. For instance if I dated a 30 year old man; what is to say in 10 years he won't have second thoughts about having a child. Of course at my age; this would be impossible. I think back to how much I have changed over the years so of course the person you are with will change and even more so when they are young. You can love all you want but when that person changes to the point that they don't want to be with you; then you are once again alone. Once the honeymoon stage is over; you will see the person for who they really are.

Wow... that just sounds like you've been hurt before and has nothing to do with age. Forgive me if I'm wrong.... but people the same age can change and grow apart

Of course people the same age can grow apart but people who have a vast age difference have a higher percentage of growing apart. As for age; I find younger men extremely rude and very disrespectful. I have always had an analytical mind so it has nothing to do with being hurt but being more practical due to maturity.

"Age" is not a number. It is a word.

Now, show me a person who says that someone's age doesn't matter, and I will show you a person who is desperate.

You are a wise Melmacian.
