Would you date someone with a high age gap? (Page 2) (Post deleted by staff )  uglycow10: i do a lot of chatting and a line i hear a lot is:"I love older women and age is just a number" Right after that, what i usually hear is, "so how old are you?" Then they begin to badger me about my age! It has happened so frequently that I have had to post a statement to not ask me about my age. Thus, I am totally skeptical about the younger guys who claim to love dating older women. So while I think it an admirable notion, I have my doubts about most younger men who who allegedly love dating older women.... I have dated an older man & have realized that if it is a quasi long term relationship, that AGE DOES MATTER A LOT.!

However, i suppose that because i am now an older chick, I just find the younger guys to be so full of life and not as sedate as the older guys. Don't get me wrong....there is a handful of older guys that will hold my interest and bring the "maturity thing" to the table., but for the most part, they are not as opened to new ideas as the younger guys. i try to totally avoid our cafeteria at lunch time because the older folks all chat about their aches and pains; who just got some dread disease and died...or who is about to die.!...quite depressing to say the least!!! The silliness and inexperience of youth excites me. Their impromptu nature puts a smile on my face. However no doubt,there is always that outstanding, older man who is suave; full of manners and to whom you need not explain every little, minute thing...but he, is a rare find.

If two people love each other and want to be together, then age shouldn't deter them. Unless, of course, you are talking about someone who under 18.  flamingred: love Witty in pinks reply Although, I would like to add: Age gaps mean absolutely nothing, if two people are emotionally, mentally, and sometimes physically on the same level. Most of the men I know, who are much younger than I am, annoy me. They grew up in a different time; one of entitlement, where social media was the babysitter, and people got trophies for showing up. I'm not okay with that. Work hard, play hard, earn hard. But then again, I've known a few guys who are much younger than me and are very mature, responsible, etc. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with either of these scenarios; it's just that when dating someone whose age is far from yours, either younger or older, I think it's important to be honest with yourself about the differences, and whether or not you're willing to compromise. flamingred: having posted that above relationships with big age differences have quite a few more problems to work out maturity levels confidence levels when meeting the significant others friends handling the gossip and discussions about you both I think for it to work there would have to be a high level of commitment and love (Edited by flamingred) (Post deleted by staff ) | Dating Chat Room 1 Person Chatting Similar Conversations |
