Age Diff

Post Reply New Topic

It all depends on the person. I usually don't go out with people younger than me though. It's usually my own age or older.

whomever mentioned the immaturity thing; i think has something to do with it for me....

but then again, a lot of older guys who date younger people still tend to be overly immature themselves; like that's maybe why they can't sustain a relationship with someone their own age?

i don't think age matters... whatever floats your boat!

There is one person in particular who is interested in me. She is 33 years old and I am 27 years old, but she and I are exact opposites when it comes to interests and beliefs--so I don't know what that will mean if she and I entered a relationship.

I've got a lot of girls at work who have a 'slight' interest in me, most between 5 years younger and my age (27). IMO that I can flirt and chat with but no one I could see myself dating or vice a versa. Part of it is communication style as well, I feel a lot of times that they'll be coming up and talking me about something but hoping for a type of reaction that they don't get - sometimes if they're trying to throw down some heat into its like I'll be very dry and direct about the answer but I'll kinda play it as if I'm aware of that dynamic but just holding back - sometimes that works real well, sometimes that leaves em looking at me as if I kinda let em down, but even if it does work out well its just strange it doesn't really seem to do anything in terms of getting anything in motion nor does anything else that I do on my part. As for the girl who I kinda liked from the start at work - that's really stuck in limbo, I do one thing or do another and it just barely seems to have any effect - either she's holding on to her cards more than I am or her level of interest as well I'm guessing is either really so-so or not there (can't assume that though just because I know particularly in my own case even - that appearance can be deceptive).

Part of this could be me as well just because, I really suck at the game itself because I need to feel a mental and emotional connection with a woman on a deeper level and people always criticize me on that telling me that the physical attraction has to come first and that your really supposed to take them out and then find out if you click - they tend to be a bit reticent with showing personality with me also unless I've gotten to know em over a long time and then as well its very hard not to have things just cement themselves into the friend zone. It could very well be that I just haven't seen anyone who's right for me in the last 6 years and that my looking at these particular girls is in vain but still, I have a hard time seeing much practicality and common sense in taking that thought with much seriousness at all.

A lot of times I see older men (not old, but in their early 30s, or around that) 'eyeing me' that certain way. I think I like it because I like the idea of someone else taking care of me.

I'am 39 and she is 21 and it is very interesting

I'm with a guy who is 18 years older than me.

Well, it is funny. It seems a lot of the younger women are prettier. 8-( I knew a couple once where the husband was EXACTLY 20 years older than the woman. They actually had the same birthday! I would LOVE the idea, but I am fair and pragmatic, so she can't be too much younger than I am.

BTW in that couple, they both looked happy and healthy, and he looked pretty young, so you could never guess. Still, a LOT can happen in even 5-10 years at that age. She could be just as fine, and he could have problems and start looking older.

And NOW, they are trying to SCARE women into not having relations with older men. NOPE, they shouldn't have a child with me because he/she might be (GULP) AUTISTIC! Frankly, if autism was caused by environment(possible), or newer abuses(possible), and not by genetics(Which isn't affected by age), then I would probably be LESS likely to have an autistic child than most younger men! I have avoided some environmental problems, and haven't had drugs, etc... Oh well, maybe that is less of a concern with this group since most are autistic and kno there could be benefits.

I am surprised by starbulines statement. She is young enough that her old preference is close to that 20 year age difference. That still isn't old enough for me, and I doubt she had those feelings when she was like five! Oh well, that would have been too young for me anyway! No offense Star, I'm sure you were a cute kid even then.

BTW If I lived forever(Or even 40 or so years) just as I am now, it would be a different story ENTIRELY! Alas, I don't think that will happen.

WOW, I LIKE the machines formula! That comes up with a nice age and it JUST happens to match about the age of when people might be diagnosed with AS through school 28! And I would LOVE that age! I just don't know if it is really old enough for me chronologically. MAN, if only there WAS a fountain of youth!

With all these substantial age differences, does this mean that I don't have to worry about college students thinking I'm too old?
