hehe.
Saw the other thread name and couldn't help starting this one.
I have dated guys as much as 12 years younger.
Yound at heart and wise and healthy can happen at almost any age. Just a number...

HERE I GO HERE I AM

I think it's kinda funny...really...older men try to hook up with MUCH younger women so they, too, can have the illusion of not getting old. Most men in this category have BIG BUCKS to achieve this goal. Most of us "average" older guys can't find a woman our age to date because they've looking for younger guys; who DO have more energy, stamina and staying power. Can't fight Mother Nature; even withn l'il "blue pills" the age thing is God showing us he has a wicked sense of humor!

I think that's YUMMMMMY..lol and ya know Cweet Char was being a smartazz.

Well......I feel this way about it. Only a few men older than mself but mostly younger, 5 -10. BUT, I think everybody has to remember something, especially if you are looking for something long term. Some day you're gonna start to slow down. And that there younger one is still gonna be in their prime....oh oh then what?? And don't say, well just move on. It won't be that easy if you really fall hard for that person. Yet I have met many men that do not want younger women because they say they are too immature and still into head games. Are they telling the truth? I have no clue.

younder? Don't have a definition Char.
Now, Younger...hmmm....or is that Yummm..?

Hugs,

The last 2 relationships I have had, I was younger by 6-8 years. Age does not mean anything to me. I am seeing someone now, and she is 20 years younger. I know this won't last, but what the hell. Maybe she is brain damaged?

DD....just what is the definition of a 'younder' man???? j/k hon.

~I think everyone here has pretty much said it all. There's not much I can add! If the chemistry and intellect is right...then why the heck not?
~Does it really matter what anyone else thinks? As long as everything is copasetic it's really between the two individuals which have interest in one another. One has nothing to fear but fear itself! And what's the old cliche, "it's better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all".

How bout just dividin by 2 and forget to add 7?

About 90% of the women I've dated in my life have been older than me. Ranging from 3 yrs to 12 yrs older. I truly believe your personality/lifestyle attracts specific people. There's no rhyme or reason behind it. If that's the way you're wired, then that's the way you're wired. Live life and enjoy the ride.

It can cause problems..
She was 17 years older then I was and we were together for 15 years , 14 of those were pretty damn good years.

She didn't let the age difference bother her until she started to show her age at around 56.. It bothered her that I had not changed in appearance since we met (the men in my family seem to look just shy of 40 by the time we are 18 or so, and stay that way till our late forties).
Ironic.. we started out with me looking older then her , and ended because she looked older then me..
BTW I never gave a damn about the appearance of age issue, just the insanity on her part that came at around the same time the age started showing.
I wouldn't reccomend a large (more then ten or so years) age difference, the issues can come around and bite you in years to come.

I see this alot. I fill in as a bouncer, at the local bar, on the weekends. This has given me many occasions to sit and just watch people. The older women are often more agressive. They know what they want, and take matters into their own hands. That statement can often be taken literaly as well as figuratively. (Last weekend I had two different women grab me at the same time.) The older women also seem to be more adept at using intelligent conversation to gain a guys interest

I did have one older lady try to pose, like a glamour model, on the hood of my car....That was a mistake in judgement on her part. She found that I was MUCH more offended than attracted

Rock on ladies!

I think age is a factor only if you let it be

I love younger men,,but that's cause men my age are too old for me...LOL..Not to say I'm immature, but I have alot more energy then men around my age and they just can't keep up with me. So, to me younger men are the in thing....:)

Hey Again!
So TRUE!!!! Us older gals rock!! hahaha I'd love to be 30 again, but ONLY for the extra energy...would NOT trade my maturity, confidence & experiences for anything though!!

mmmhmm, that younger man thing...
in the past few years i've had a lot of em try, hard to let a couple of them pass by.
