Do you think age matters in a marriage? (68)
Age is irrelevant .... consider a blind person ... how they would perceive it ....!!:

Age most certainly matters in a marriage. I may be considered a over-reacting matronly, moralistic, stodge BUT I can't fathom the concept of a seven year old marrying.

It would depend on whether they want to have children and the age difference would biologically permit it ...

You made a good point and sadly it happens in some countries...consenting adults can marry who they wish...but if the age gap is great...what are the motives of the younger person? some marry older to inherit wealth

I don't know... all the young guys who write to me seem to be attracted to my good looks

I think that there's no universal answer to that question.
Some people don't mind if their partner is a lot younger or older than them, some do. We all have our preferences.

That is the truth. However, those that speak of it, especially those without proper knowledge, experience, or lack of bias, should be aware of those of us who have "been there done that".

Relationships should be judged on maturity, not age .
Some people are old at 19 & some are young at 90 .
Personally, I can’t see the attraction for young lady’s , other than the obvious physical one , which would never lead to marriage.
Saying that , age doesn’t protect you from love, but love can certainly Protect you from age.

I believe that's what the words I wrote "each to their own" mean ... My comment about children stems from the fact that some men in their mid to late 40's seem to be oblivious to the fact a 60 year old woman can no longer have children. They have a profile that states they definitely want to have children then write to a 60 year old ... hence my comment about age and reproduction ...

We have an opinion of course, but I don't think what we say will have much influence.
Follow your heart and enjoy life.

I think age does not matter in a marriage however it does matter when we are in a public jacuzzi and sauna bath.

Selenite: Why?
Why? Because... I have to talk myself into leaving when younger immigrant Russian and Japanese women enter them, especially while in simple warm water pools in the private health clubs I have memberships at. These Russian women like to wear only G-strings and the Japanese women customarily disrobe naked before entering. The visuals are healthy for most but at my age I still have to leave when this happens. Ok, You asked,------ This poll is Archived ------

If they are prepared to show their beauty, it is only good manners to appreciate it, discretely of course

Of course it matters. I am usually attracted to a younger man however I have no doubt that he would lose interest in me very quickly when he saw that my physical health has slowed me down which would interrupt his lifestyle.
The fire is still in the furnace but the flame is getting smaller and smaller each day.

Age shouldnt matter if couple involve truly love each other and come to agreement regarding children, health, biological differences.
Because i have youthful appearance and body i am often approach by younger men. But date a man nearer my age who understands all that accompany 50+ energy, medical, grey hair interest etc

Some of us say we are looking for true love - not one nighters - so we have to ask ourselves: what will we be like as a couple 10 years from now?
Me at 71 with a 40 year old woman? Looking for support and encouragement on this because, sadly, I told the only woman who ever really loved me after looking at my profile, that I think she was too young. Am I making a mistake?

How could she love you just from looking at your profile? Me at 71 with a 40 year old woman? Looking for support and encouragement on this because, sadly, I told the only woman who ever really loved me after looking at my profile, that I think she was too young. Am I making a mistake?
I've had amazingly charming young men write me with far more interesting and engaging messages than people my own age but kindly thanked them and wished them the very best ... it feels only right ...
Back to you ... nobody can "love someone" just by their profile ... so may be it's your gut instinct protecting you from "unlikely love" because it's not truly there ... on the other hand if you do want to find out why not write to her and see where it leads ...

Yeh I believe you lonely, it has been my experience that people can fall in over the internet, and very strongly.. Back in the day, people used to send each other little notes delivered secretly many fell in love with their choice in this way.Me at 71 with a 40 year old woman?

Selenite: That's so funny!!!
It really depends on whether she loves you for you or for your non physical assets
What I find with relationships now a days is that two independent people, who are not married, can get tired of each other’s antics and hit the road at will. Those who are married, mostly men, will pay through their nose if there’s a divorce and the ex spouse does not have a lot of assets. Then we add age to the mix. Show me a 30 year old attractive woman madly in love with a 60 year old man, or woman, and I will show you a fake who will be gone as soon as she realize I don’t have enough money as the 55 year old next door It really depends on whether she loves you for you or for your non physical assets

Everybody's experiences are different You obviously don't trust women much so may be narrowing down the age gap will make you feel more comfortable ...
