I would do older up to a point.. as long as all parts are in working order l prefer older ladies than the present younger generation of ladies. l go for the oldies cos of their experience in handling marital issues and their zeal to keep the relationship working Nothing wrong with dating women older than yourself, if the attraction is there go for it. |

Well, it's never REALLY been about age. It's always been about compatibility of goals and lifestyles and tastes. But since people change as they gain experience, and become more certainly themselves, age has always worked as a sort of quick-check, to sort away some of the more obvious bad matches. I've found that there are basically two kinds of people who want to ignore age. There are of course the predators, who want to ignore age because they want to chase the most innocent and inexperienced people they can find, and use them for selfish entertainment. But the larger group is the ones who haven't really thought things through all that thoroughly. I know that I can get along extremely well with anyone whose been through enough life to understand that nothing is easy or simple, and who have learned about themselves thoroughly enough that they are stable and honest. But I also realize that a thirty year old woman is unlikely to find a sixty-three year old not rich guy's life fulfilling enough to commit the dedication and work needed to make a go of things. Basically, I do agree that age is only indirectly linked to real compatibility, but it's still true that in a larger sense, it IS a real concern. I think I can wholeheartedly agree with this :) Except that I think there's another group who says age doesn't matter and that's the ones who want someone younger because of ego, status etc. A boost of their self-esteem. And personally think this group is rather large. |

To me a man's age is important. I wouldn't want a younger man.
I was only interested in up to 5 yrs older. For the reasons Igor mentioned. I based this decision on experience. Apart from the mismatch in life experience, many men my age or a mere 2 yrs younger still have young kids, often as young as 5. I'm not interested in playing happy bleeping family, nor giving up my freedom for another's family until his kids leave the nest. More than 5 years older also a no go. Too much of a gap. He is 4 years older :) Great, cos 5 yrs older would've been difficult, wrong Chinese star-sign  I know from experience that year does not compute with me at all. His sign does

beware of generalizations...for every one you state there are exceptions...and how many exceptions is necessary before your generalization falls apart...all the best to those of you who choose to live your life according to some study results regarding a partner...

But I also realize that a thirty year old woman is unlikely to find a sixty-three year old not rich guy's life fulfilling enough to commit the dedication and work needed to make a go of things. Basically, I do agree that age is only indirectly linked to real compatibility, but it's still true that in a larger sense, it IS a real concern. I have to agree with this for the most part. In what seems like many years ago when I was 44, I met and started dating a 25-year-old woman. We clicked. We got along well and we had fun together. We were a lot alike. We were together for two years. When we ended it, we ended it on good terms and we are still friends to this day. In a way, it is about age. In another, it's about how compatible you are with each other. I consider myself an open minded person. I haven't dated someone a good bit younger than me since then. But my mind isn't closed to it. The way I think about it, love is where you find it. I'm 55 now. If I were to meet a woman of let's say 45 to 55 and we clicked and were compatible with each other, I would be happy. But at the same time, If I met one of 30 or 40 and we were compatible with each other in most things, I would be happy. But most of all, the one thing that matters no matter the age, Is the love there? That's the one thing that a lot of people seem to leave out when this subject comes up. It matters above everything. Is the real love for each other there? If it is, You will be there for each other to the end.No matter the age. |
