See if you still feel that way the first time she walks into the bedroom and slips off those Depends plastic underwear..;)

Recently I went on a walk with a friend in her late eighties, twenty years older than I am. We walked 12 miles that day. She's a good friend and for the record, I find ladies my age or older to be more dependable than younger ones. Just my tuppence worth (two cents if you're American).

I've only dated 1 guy that was the same age as me. Most men that want to date me are older and a lot older. They are grandparents and ready to sit on a porch in a rocking chair. I prefer someone closer to my age. I've dated a few that were 15-20 years older.

Oh, so to answer the question, there is kind of a problem for me to date someone that is much older. About 10 years ago I was in a museum with a guy I was dating. The owner of the museum thought I was his granddaughter. That was humiliating.

@Cat that's funny! I see you're point though

Do women have a harder time dating someone significantly older (10+) than men do?

I've gone 11 years older...and that was when I was younger, and only that one guy.

I don't think I could go more than 10 yars older now....
F*** all that about "if it's troooo luuuuv"
(that sounds so scammerish anyway)

Where do those people who yammer on about "troooo luuuuv" draw the line?
At what age...what's too young, or too old?
Distance?
Gender?

Pffft....

I would have been flattered, not humiliated. Then again no one has ever mistaken my date for being my grandmother.

It's not flattering.

This is a tricky subject. As a tall active man aged 64 I own my own woodland and work at least two to three times a week for 5 to 6 hours each time, cutting firewood, planting trees in Winter etc. I use a heavy axe sometimes which I call the heart attack axe. For me there must be compatibility so a lady must be energetic and sporty as well as as a good conversationalist etc. It helps I look younger but a girlfriend 15 years younger is unlikely, perhaps 10 years younger is OK. If the lady is more or less the same age and looks good then good.

But guys need smart clothes and probably clean shaven appearance to match the ladies.

Personally, no problem here. I have been with a lot of younger women. (at my age ALL women are younger than me).

I'm getting there........ 69 next week

Happy early birthday MK!

Age is not a deal breaker or anything I even consider but too big of age difference either direction generally means lack of common ground/interest/Outlook which leads to not enough interest to date... Friends yes realtionship no

Many times problems, dating or otherwise, are self induced. Some things are ONLY a problem if YOU make them a problem. We all deal with issues but life is generally pretty simple but some people insist on complicating the heck out of life.

Exactly!

Many Men have that problem, not dating older, especially mid age Men.

Women oftentimes are into dating Younger than Themselves, even for a Serious relationship.

Dating it really shouldn't matter if it's casual.

I'm amused at some of the replies. I agree that some things are only a problem if you make them a problem. I have no problem being friends with people of all ages. The exact nature of our friendship, what we do about it, depends on gender but not age. Having said that I doubt I would find a lady about 20 years my junior very exciting, but I have no problem with anyone older than I am

delightful, I am only 72



@UrbanMale24, not ALL women are younger than YOU! You just like dating younger women.. just say it as it is

What are you thinking? There isn't room for facts on internet forums!!!

... but.. but this is Mingle2 forums. We all tell the truth here.

Happy New Year Smartazzjohn
