Age is not just a number. It should say..I have life experience. As we grow older some things take on a different perspective. Something I would not have done years ago, now I say, go ahead enjoy yourself. As the body reaches the age 30..then it is all downhill from there. The body is slowly dying, nature takes its course. Whether there is a huge or small gap between ages of you and your parnter...does it really make a huge dent in the outside world? NO! Keep within your own morals (because that is where you are most comfortable) and enjoy your life.
SummerUK: I think as with any relationship it depends on the two people involved.
I'm personally pretty immature a lot of the time and can be too irresponsible and spontaneous. Some of my wilder spontaneity has been poo pooed.. but I do know there are guys the same age as me or older who have the same freespirited spontaneous attitide and love living live rather than whinging like Victor meldrew at every mortal thing and being glued to the sofa like a couch potato..
Simalarly there are younger guys who are wayyyyyy too old for their age and don't have a fun bone in their body.. There are also a lot of younger men who have an awful lot to offer (despite what some may say) and they prefer the free spirit and positive mental attituide of an older woman.
My last partner was 18 years younger than me. It happened by accident haha!! Didn't go looking for it. It was just two people getting on in every single way. Whats wrong with that?
The only problems I can see would be children. Even then it may not even be an issue.
Soooooo I guess for me, I don't care about age, same as I don't care about colour, race or religion. Its the one person

I hope so too. You're a lovely person and I hope you get better very very soon
Age is a number and I knew that a long time :) I am a daughter of a father that would be today 115 years old :) My mother loved this man with all her heart and my mother would be today 80 years old.

No, it is experience and wisdom. At least, older people are supposed to be wiser than the younger ones. This is why they should mingle. Vive la liberté!!!
jodestir: ... unless of course he's 85 and she's 19 ... !
i think anyone over the age of 6 years difference younger or older usually isnt going to last forever. the statistics on the relationship lasting are very low. im sure there are exceptions though.

... i think to a certain degree age is irrelevant .. as long as the gap doesn't spread over decades! ... And also depends on what the 2 people are looking for .. if it's just a quick roll in the hay .. age doesn't matter if both can keep up the pace! .. If it's just chatting online, age is also irrelevant if both people are on the same page and relate to the convo on different levels but respect each others opinions .. also age is irrelevant on a friendship level .. I have strong friendships at work with people my son's age .. and others my father's age .. it's all about the people themselves and the situation itself i think .. HOEWEVER .. i draw the line when there's obviously hidden agendas .. not a big fan of female gold diggers .. Hugh hefner and his latest woman come to mind .. she's like what? 24? .. she's lookN for a big slab of his money as soon as he's laid on that same slab! ... In closing though .. in seriousness .. if he can still get it up and she appreciates his maturity and expertise in the sack .. who's to care??
