So, you're in the range of possibility (perversibility? confused) then, aren't you...? grin

Galactic_bodhi: I don't place any limits based on age or image. I'm rather comfortable as friends with older women, and they all LOVE me.

My limits come from a romantic standpoint. I've not the life-exerience to relate to the things women older than about ten years refer to...

Haight-Ashbury=before my time.
Kennedy assassination=before my time.
Woodstock=before my time.
Ed Sullivan Show=cancelled before I was cognitive...

You get the pic. I'm not unhappy learning about these things from an older woman. It's just, I don't get the cultural refs. they often make, and its the same for someone extremely younger than me. I say something about Welcome Back Kotter and they're like, "Who?"


Who? laugh

but its more about relating on the soul level than about the age level surely? dunno

I think many men don't want a woman that remind them of their ex wife etc. Aesthetics are more important to them too so a young body is preferable to a sagging one. Sometimes younger women are more malliable and less challenging than older ones in a man's thinking.

Just possibilities.........

Claayer: Same here..

Also.. it something that small that will stop me in my tracks on a profile.. It really puts me off if for example their age says.. 45.. and the age they want.. is 25- 40..

hmmm Quite possibly... wink











Regarding age (so as not to hijack, even more), I can't see myself dating a man young enough to be my son, or a man old enough to be my great-grandfather, as an example.

I need to be able to relate, on various levels...

Given that your only 34 there is a distinct possibility that dating some one your son’s age may be illegal tongue , seriously tho how much younger than your self would you go ??

well

im now thinking about a thread recently speaking to
what the comment is on a womans profile in relation to her kids

might mean-

i dunno-ive been online a loooong time-
ive been in conversation w/ a number of men over the years who didnt think about the age thing on the profile...
didnt fill it out (the default is 18-99)

its hard being judged on these profile choices
but what choices do we have initially?
im sure ppl see kids or something else and just pass me by

thank goodness for the forums.

we can chat and see each other and maybe broaden our willingnesses

trish123: Ive noticed when looking at guys profiles that quite a few of you still prefer to go for nobody older than themselves and in some cases up to maybe 5 or so yrs younger - whats this about? My own preference is sort of the same age give or take maybe 5 yrs or so - Im not into the toy boy thing but am just trying to understand this attitude of 'definitely not older'


I have plans on having more children, so I try to keep it my age or under but most women around my age do not want children.

Not all men perfer women of there own age. I am always having to tell those guys I am not interested... Anyone a few years younger than me I tell them thanks but No thanks unless they have had kids and been through the marriage shit...

Can I correct something though... this is not to be rude... But I maybe wrong but, isn't Boy Toy ?

And the reasoning for my age this is... I dont' want any more damn Boy Toys... its to heart wrenching when you fall for them Fkrs LOL

Anyhow .... I think men that don't want to date women older then them it has to be a self image thing... Most younger guys like older women. Because we are more experienced in what there looking for lol

On the other hand Men that don't want an older woman may want to go for someone of his own age or younger because of where they are at in life ... don't you think? I mean common some of us older woman are Hot Babes compared to some of those younger Chicks :)

Anyhow thats my story and I am sticking to it ! beer

i have no clue what you are talking abut, i dont check males profiles

but i have realized the females are looking some how in the range you are talking

a few are open to date guys older than them
a few wants only guys younger than them

my case some one around my age (+/-5)

your case, well it will be better to edit your profile (47-99) as it does not match what you have just say you are opne to some one 7 years younger (althought you are opne to some one as ols as your dad)

a woman at the age of forty has a chance of something being wrong mentally with the child she could bear so you might want to keep that in mind, and women along the lines of 35 are knowing this, maybe that has something to do with it, just a thought.

Ah, yes - but only a distinct possibility, presuming that I didn't start at a very young & tender age.





Seriously, I prefer not to go younger. Though I don't completely rule out going a tad bit younger than myself...

Awww... you don't like that theme song, Mindfful? Can't help it. As soon as he said it - the song inadvertently popped in to my head.
