In response to: Does age truly matter when you choose to date someone?
Most people say age doesn't matter, but if a lady dates a guy younger she's labeled a cougar and if a man dates a younger lady it's okay.
I have female friends that date younger guys and are accused of being mentally handicapped because of 11 years age difference.

Does it matter if you date a person younger or older, well the answer is no it doesnt matter. People these days label everything and everyone, but should judge only themselves and if you are both happy age doesnt matter. The facts that people do tend to get jealous as they hide their own wishes to date someone younger. I am dating a 35 year old who is from another culture and well as another generation but we are happy and yet when she talks to her friends there are jealousy creeping in as she is happy and content.
If i listened to all my friends i would never date again. Just go out and enjoy life before grim reaper comes to call.

To an extent age does matter to me, I would consider ladies within 10 years of my age either side fine. But there is no way i would consider dating a younger woman who is in her late teens or her twenties, Not that i think i'd ever be put into a situation like that anyway...lol

Don't be so modest. I can see a younger woman in her 20's being attracted to you. You're an attractive man with nice qualities.
bubbles2012: I wonder if Ivana Trump would agree with your post...
But I do like this post. It speaks volumes of the diva-driven entitlement-complex of women.
Would the average man ever draw comparison to say Sean Connery or Brad Pitt to justify himself no? No. And why not? Because he can see the relative difference between himself and a movie star. He does not feel entitled to be and do as Connery and Pitt do purely because they are men and he is a man.
Even arrogant and bombastic womanisers like myself, who often pretend they are James Dean for the purposes for sleeping with women, know that they must play and be the part and not merely insist upon it.
