LOL, i get that alot. my whole adult life nearly. but i am indeed 26. yeah i have 2 gorgeous kids 3 and 18 months. people always think i am a lot younger and the other day i was asked if i was my childrens babysitter! rolling on the floor laughing i am glad i dont look as old as my childrens father and he is only 23 but looks much older lmao. poor dear LOL.

yeah mum wasnt happy when she found out how old my ex was, because she isnt that old herself, she was only 7 years older than him so she was a bit upset. but its my life and i can date who i want once i am 18. he was a good guy and we were good friends more than anything. we dated for 2 years. it was good while it lasted but cultural differences got in the way. but thats all it was to me, just dating and a bit of fun. i was never going to settle down with him and have his babies.

anyways, i am one for doing whatever make YOU happy and to not to listen to anyone else. i only have one life to life and i am going to life it for me :D



kiiwii: heyyy alll :grins:

age is not the factor ..
chemistry is the factor ..

if you both got it .. go for it


I disagree age is definitely a factor. Anyone who says that can expect trouble ahead. Consider it a factor and work around it or end up playing the blame game later. Plus I seen too many young man get pushed around by older more expereinced women. Guys be cautious!

ladies on the other hand need not worry on older guys as its the traditional primitive order of relationships. Adam came first before Eve supports my suggestion.

phaedellis: My God Cupcake you only look like a child yourself love and you definitely DO NOT LOOK 26? i thought maybe 19-22, and you have children?
guy in his 50s, as they seem to have no oooomf in them and they are all so out of shape and balding, and have beer bellies ok ok i'll stop now


Phae,

I believe she is 26 if she says so. ...there are some 50 year plus guys in great shape. probably not met them yet...
some girls I know in school started having children as early as 15 years so its not surprising to me.

Does age matter I think it is an individual thing where for some people age doesn't matter.There are lots of younger men and women falling in love with the older man or older woman.I don't have a problem with that I think why mock or ridicule people of there age difference?To many people sit on the outside and think it is ridiculous for an older man or an older woman to be going out with someone 10 years there junior they are obivously in love or they wouldn't be together..
So NO age doesn't matter to me and it shouldn't matter to anyone but to those who are in a relationship or have been in a relationship with someone older or younger then them..Who are we to judge people because of there age it would be like judging someone for going with someone that has not got the same colour skin as them....
Sorry people just my opinion...beer

Hi Rosselas wave yes i believe Cupcake is the age she is, i was in no way questioning or doubting the fact? but just giving an honest response as she looks like a baby herself? which in my opinion is a compliment, as when she is 35 she wil still look like she is only 25!
As for the guys in their 50s love no way! i am in an industry where i see many men, and young boys! ok no not a hooker, and believe me they are all ewwww, the only ones that seem to take care of themselves are the GAY guys!
Yes there possibly are some hot looking 45-50 yr od men, but you will also find they are the ones that are in relationships or are married, the throw aways are just that ' THROW AWAYS" and just dont give two hoots about their appearance, so what i said still stands! thumbs up

laugh i took it as a compliment, because you are right....at 35 hopefully i will be looking like i am 25 LOL.


oh gawd, i would never date a 50 yr old man. my father isnt even 50 yet. i think even now at 26 i wouldnt go older than 32. i dunno, having the experience of dating an older guy i know now i wouldnt date anyone past 32 until i nearing that age myself. its kind of like, been there done that and its not for me now but i dont have a problem with people doing it. if it makes them happy....

Hey Cupcake wave yeah i knew you would know exactly what i meant by my post cheers wine
when you are your age yes we go for someone a little older, but when you get to my age there are not many left to choose from, younger guys these days seem to like an older woman, and it's not so bad if there is only a few years difference, but not a whole lifetime scold i draw the line at about 5 yrs, ok ok if he's really hot and in his late 30s well maybe devil

It seems most people (well, the women) think eeeewwww, until they get the chance of someone younger, then all sorts of justifications come out. Funny that :-)

I don't believe age matters. If we start limiting the people that we may be attracted to by their age (financial status, occupation, the area they live etc ) alot of people are going to miss out. Sure age can have some influence but in all honesty, it's their soul you are either attracted to or not.

If someone has a good heart and soul, and the chemistry is there....then age doesn't factor into it.

Just my thoughts on the topic. cool

If age can have some influence, then surely it DOES matter. drinking

I don't think it should be the deciding factor though.
