DO YOU THINK AGE IS JUST A NUMBER? ( Archived) (165)

Not sure to be honest never been in the situation.

Honestly I think older wouldnt bother me, but to be totally honest when 18 and 19 year olds mail me it kinda turns my stomach, I have a daughter 19 sooo there is no way I could go down the younger, well that much younger anyway.


All previous reltionships have been older or same age. Never younger.

OMG! has anyone seen the vote breakdown? go take a peek at the differences of men and women!

I agree, there has to be mental stimulation too, i can look at a younger man, notice i said man not boy and say hey "that is a nice......" well you know but as far as having a meaningful relationship? i doubt it happening, i too get emails and flowers all the time from youngsters, i tell them politely no thank you i have a son 26.

HHMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!! I wonder if that means more "WOMEN" than men like the younger ones???

yes smiley but you didn't answer the question, is age a number between you and what you are seeking, as in your mate/lover/HIM?

I've been thinking this through. I've been in relationships with younger women and relationships with older women. In retrospect, I suppose the latter were more successful, for reasons unknown. Perhaps I am mature or, perhaps, they were not?

I didn't have a confused part added to the poll guess you are in the not sure as well as sassy then?

your crazy

OK, 78% of the women think age is just a number, 50% of the men think so..

I am not sure ma'am, but I like them to be between 45 and 60. My son is 34 and I betcha he can take your son.

I'm 62 which feels terrible compared to 32, so in all cases, age is the defining number.

But that was established long ago, and I do rather enjoy my insanity these days..

Now Paws..Would you really complain about "feeling" a 32 yo??

If you're referring to own age, it is just a number, that most of the times I don’t even remember unless I refer to my birth year.

In terms of relationships, yes and no.

Yes, as I never dated men younger than me and I don’t think I will…so it is an issue.
And no, because I had older partners, but the age was not relevant, some were 2 or 4 years older, some more than that….on my side, it was never age difference awareness there.

If she was XT, no.

Moi? ...but I'm.....( counting '75...to 08.....aha!) 33
