AGE what kind of relationship is best ( Archived) (11)

I agree the multiple partners would probably not last. I generally choose to go out with men that are older as I have found men my own age are still going through the mid life thing of dreaming they are going to find Barbie to hang off their arm. Maybe I have just met the wrong ones. I do find however that with some older men the age gap appears, I have a teen son and older men do not get teens of today. I am a professional and also have met men that are threatened by my intelligence, how do you stop thaat?

I hear you; I believe I have met the wrong women. I am 36 and I don't get the teens today. I am not judging any age group but I was raised with a strong work ethic. I have to and had to work hard for everything I have. It just seems, at least in my area the teens feel no sense of responsibility. It's always what can you give me for as little work I need to perform. Although I have met some very responsible young people, that hold there own.

If a man feels threatened by your intelligence, He is not the man for you. In my opinion. You cannot stop that. Be yourself. If he truly loves you, He will not feel threatened by you. He has his own strengths, Learning from each other is what a relationship is about. He picks you up on your weaknesses and you pick him on his.

Thanks,
Don't think we have any amongst the sugar cane here!!!!LOL

thanx for all your responses ; heres what i think. i'm 46 years old physically but emotionally i'm only about 30 and i connect with other individuals emotionally 30 whatever their age is physically. lots of things in life stunt your growth emotionally. not being in a relationship. drinking , drugging. selfisheness, not having a good relatuiionship with one of your parents. there are lots of things , that can inhibit your emotional growth. but thats why whatever your ages you might find that intelectual connection.

I would say about around the same age..

I am 45 and my husband is 43
