I am 48 years old and received lots messages from you get guy's who likes or prefer a mature woman. I have dated in the past one guy younger then me and also one guy older then me. how do you feel dating someone much younger or much older then You?



Age matters too.. I am attracted to older guys but not too old like 70 :grin::grin::grin:.. I am just 26 turning 27

Anyway they say in love you can't really choose the one that you will love but they also say than when ypu meet in real, there should be chemistry... without chemistry there can be no love

true story,
since i am sooooo awsome, i was at a funeral recently. i did the ulogy for my buddy. His niece a very pretty 35 year old, (p.s. im 54) comes up and thanks me for the kind and funny words. i said thanks! she said, can i have your number? maybe we can get together and talk about my uncle ( she winked and laughed) she was pretty cute.

i stepped back looked into heaven for the words, and then i said....
look, why dont you pick on someone your own age? she started laughing. im old enough to be your dad. she said that worn out line that millenials like to chirp, "age is just a number". really? said i... What year was JFK assasinated? i dunno...
when did we land on the moon....she said" we landed on the moon?? thats a hoax! i laughed...
Who is Jerry Sienfeld?? she said...oh i know this one!!! Hes a shrink on Oprah? Right??

the point is compatibility and relatability. An older woman may like a younger man for the boom boom, but eventually you will have to talk. Same for the older guy and the young vixen. physical is easy...relationship building, much harder!

Age does matter!!!

Like many have already stated, age is just a number but up to a point as aging does happen faster after 70 unless you have great genes, are healthy, or decide to have a little plastic help. I think the couple needs to look good together and not have people think that they are mother/son or father/daughter. They also need to know and appreciate each other's time period or be willing to learn. But with that said, there are younger people with old souls and older people with young ones, which is often obvious when you first meet them. And oft times, only children have the old souls, so they tend to prefer someone older.

For me personally, I recently got out of a relationship that had a 19 year age difference, but when we were together, people really did not notice that much of a gap. He was an old soul and even as a teenager dated older women, and because of his old soul, he loved black and white movies, and even knew more movie stars from back then, than I did. He also loved early rock n roll and was a WWII aficionado. We knew each other for almost 12 years and became a couple for 8. However, we had to part ways not due to age, but because there was no way I would move to Europe nor he to the USA and the LDR had lost its point.

SO, my advice is for those out there who are contemplating dating someone older or someone younger, look at the person, and not necessarily the age.

I like your advice. I have known a guy much younger than me for about 3 yrs through my work. We get along great but I decided not to date anymore. Lately I have been getting a feeling that hes interested but I"m not good at this stuff so I'm not sure. Hes an old soul for sure. Likes the music I grew up with....we think alike. Its refreshing. I don't know what to do about this. The convo with him and 2 other women the other day was weird...like it was set up to hint to me. I see him once a week. Been with younger a few times but feel I'm robbing the cradle. Would like a mans opinion?

I almost have to date a woman younger than me because 99% of the women ARE younger than me. I am so old that I used to double date with Moses. laugh

Age does matter for sure!
When it comes to a romantic relationship I prefer my partner to be same age to max 5 yrs older.
If you only want a physically pleasing intermezzo, I'd say go for younger. Preferably under 40 so you're sure to still get the full 'treatment'.
But for a romantic relationship I wouldn't want a younger partner. Too much difference in maturity.

If you want both... not so easy to find in one man...
May I suggest two? shades tongue2


I don't know Crystal Fairy - I used to feel the way you do - I always preferred to date men my age or older - about 4-5 yrs older than me. But the older I get, the more open I am to the idea of dating someone younger than me. Over 45 or so I don't think age matters as much - (if you're not mature by 40, you'll probably never be! lol) It seems that the older I get the smaller the pool of men becomes. I don't think I could date someone under 50 though - I want to date them after their mid-life crisis not before!

You are probably wanting a young man's opinion, but from my opinion as an older man, I don't believe age matters in a relationship. It's more about attraction, compatibility, personality, character, mutual interests and goals, and many other important things, but it is also a frame of mind. If you are concerned about age difference, or you would be troubled by peoples stares or comments, then maybe it's not the best idea, but if you can keep an open mind and brush off what others may think, then why not if you both have an interest in each other. I wish you good luck with whatever you decide to do.

No, age doesn't matter until the older one starts drooling and pricing walking canes

Man won't give up on his authority.... But ladies always will need someone older and wiser... Telling em what and how to make things work better... Stronger too coz ladies are more vulnerable.. Hay that also involves ladies who practice jitsu...
