Just wondering what everyone thought about age differences in relationships......older men, younger women and older women and younger men.....when and what do you feel is too much of an age difference?
definitely a personal choice, nomad. i tend to gravitate towards 5 years either side of my own age but plenty of other folk have good relationships w/a wider age difference. last year i dated a man about 13 years older than myself & he was really lovely. dont think i could keep up w/a man 13 years younger tho! what's yor spin on it?
well my age is 23 but you were close enough, my father is 53, I would date some one that was in there late 30's, but the thing is if they act there age, I don't want some one who is going to act old, and inactive, i want some one that is going to be go with the flow, one day lets go ride four wheelers , play in the mud have a great time, but then again sit down and have a nice dinner.
I guess its more of the maturity level of the other person and how compatibly you are with them. If you have alot in common and enjoy each others company...well I'm talking to a girl who is 22 right now
Your right, its mostly on the level of maturity, Thats cool that she is 22, and i hope all goes well! for me my family and friends always tell me i much wiser beyond my years, plus i don't hang out with the crowd that is my age, im always the baby on where we go! every one else is there 30s
This question has to be answered by the individual. It depends on what you want in a relationship also. I have seen couples with a large age difference and some with no difference, they all seem happy.
Thanks Nomad, I enjoy, doing the mature things in life, other than the people i graduated with partying and getting drunk all the time, thats cool for only so long, then you start to met others that enjoy doing differnt things and you catch on to it! and i personally love playin poker! how many kids my age will have the patients to sit around and play? none that i know of! my ex troy of 35 got me into that one!
I asked the question a few days ago. I phrased it as what the max age difference is socially acceptable, and most people said that I should not worry about that. I have always been more interested in women who were about 30 years old. So when I was younger I was more attracted to older women and now I am more attracted to younger women.
I'm 29.. I prefer my men to be 1 to 3 years younger than me. A year or two older would be okay, but thats as old or as young as I would go!! Younger are bot at the same level as me... And in the past older guys just were not for me-- too controlling, and I am NOT one to be controlled, so we clashed on that, and didn't get along.
For me it would be a man over 35. For me the reason is by that time he has settled into who he is going to be. He is generally settled in his career, he knows who he is and does not have to find his self. He is mature enough to have made his major decisions, he has gain the knowledge to know that woman is more then what is on the outside. I am 45 y.o., so a man at 35 would be 10 years younger the maximum age difference on that side of my 45, but any age older. I am looking for more then a physical attraction. I am one that thinks a couple should be able to mentally stimulate one another and should able to communicate on many levels.
Personaly I like um my age or younger....but not older....but as the person above pointed out....it's just a number..and some are at a higher or lower level reguardless of their age.
I have seen youthfull elders and elderly youth.
Just because someone may have many pages doesn't mean that the book is filled with much text and vice versa.
