Age Differences

I'm just kinda taking a poll... I've been asking everyone this. What do you think is the maximum age difference there can be in a relationship between two people, with out it being "not right"... Let's say the youngest one is 18.

And my opinion, for anyone, I'd say it's 12 years... Which makes the max age at 18, 30...

yes i agree...31 is really, really old. now 30, thats still very young.lol

lol... I don't know, I just think that 13 years is a cut off line. 12 is ok, but 13, no.

well i just turned 30, so for the sake of my own feelings im gonna agree with u.lol

Oh! I missed your birthday!!! Happy belated birthday then 😉

yeah i missed it too, but i think it still counts.

you missed it to? well, I guess you could say you made it up with all those fire works on the fourth...

i tried to at least.

oh well... maybe you should go buy yourself a present... that's what I would do.... and a chocolate cake... then take it home and eat it all myself... that would probably make me happy... for a while anyway... and then I'd have a major stomach ache afterwords... but the gift I brought myself would console me... and I wouldn't watch "west side story", so I would actually be sick from the chocolate cake...

yes well, i do like buying myself presents. noone else is going to get me the really cool stuff. christmas is really fun.......one for me....one for u.....one for me....one for u.hehe

lol... yes, you shop like I do...

22 years is my cutoff. lol.

22 years... now that's stretching it.

Yes. But, I think that you have to base these things on feelings. I may have just pulled that number out of the sky....but if I was really into someone, I'm not sure I could put an age limit on it (although, you won't find me with any fifty + year olds at this age. lol)

got your eye on an older guy?

who...me?

u?

Me?

not me.

I should *hope* that you're not interested in an older man...lol

No, seriously, I pulled that number out of the sky. Just making a point. I guess like 25 years older would be my absolute cutoff point.

well i cant do 25. thats old. i think maybe like 36-37 would be as old as i dare to go.lol maybe 38 max.

It's probably a whole different thing for men. Especially men your age. Maybe not...I'm just pontificating.

what's the youngest you would "go"?

(I may be sorry I asked this...lol...don't go grossing me out by saying fifteen or something...)

well i know im not going below 18. i like my freedom.

somebody on the younger spectrum would have to be mature probably for it to work.

well in arkansas....... just kidding.

lol

I have a mate who is 55 his bird is 24 they have a 6 month old seem to get on well

i find it harder to think of myself as dating younger guys than older guys, even taking out the fact that I'm only 18. If I was 30 i might date someone as young as 25, or as old as 45. And if I was 45, I might date someone as young as 38, and as old as 65. There is just something about older being better than younger.

hmmmm...age differences, i am like Gewndylyn in that its easier for me to imagine being with someone older rather than younger. Not exactly sure why but i think its the fear of being with a younger guy and somewhere down the road him deciding that i am too old.... do ya hear my insecurity screaming in this post—)

there is a 12 year age difference between my dad and step mom. When i was 18 and he said they he was marrying a woman only 6 years older than me....i was shocked. She turned out to be a wonderful friend (after some rough times between us) and the age difference isn't really noticeable between them. maybe it has more to do with the people themselves than the age difference?

If he's younger, he has to be at least 1 or 2 years younger than me. Besides when i'm around 25, he'd still look good. lol 😛 and older? it doesnt really matter to me, as long as he's not 30 or over. But who knows.

AGE IS NO ISSUE REALLY. im going out with a 25 year old female and im only 21, and my ex is 24.

and im a guy.

I really don't think it matters at all..EXCEPT when it involves yourself and the 'comfortableness' of the potential relationship and age difference. Relationships need more than just similar age brackets. Maturity is a big factor, as is life experience and life direction.

But I know the point you are trying to make..'the freaky factor'. Personally I don't have a prob with age difference, as long as the person involved looks after themselves (assumming they are much older) or are of a very mature mind (assumming they are much younger).

But....*shudders at a wrinkly old man rolling around in the sack with an athletic beauty*

Alas I was 25 she was 17 now Im 32 and shes 45 go figer

lol... I'm sure when I'm older, (actually I have no doubt of this) I'll start liking younger guys, lol...

I LOVE OLDER WOMEN, THEY BECOME MORE MATURE BECAUSE ALL THE STUPID GAMES WOMEN PLAY WHEN THEIR YOUNG IS RIDICULOUS. OLDER WOMEN JUST KNOW WHAT THEY WANT.

lol... I only play games cause I'm bored. If I could find what I wanted, I'm sure I'd be very up front.

I dont like guys my age because most of them (not all of them) are all complete morons who have absolutely no direction. They don't have interesting interests, and are way to immature in every region. They have this idiotic mocho sinse of pride, which annoys the hell out of me... Way to sensitive in the WRONG WAY. I just say "grow up".

Yes. And I like older men because they know what they want.

Now were back to what men want and I told you once and Ill tell you agian T&A

lol. I feel so enlightened.

lol... I like guys who are passionate about something... As long as they're not socialists and passionate about that... I can't take that...

Yep. I need the passion also.

lol morgan then I guess I'll never have to worry about you stealing my boyfriends

No, I just have to worry about you stealing mine...

😢

Yeah... Don't look so inocent...

okay, that's wried. i could have sworn i posted but who knows?
uh, i think though it does matter about maturity. but yeah games suck. i wish though if popel like the other people would tell that person. but then again i'm gulity of it too. but no has anyone on here dated eachother while both requalarly use this site?

Interesting topic!!
To me age sometime does matter to some parents that build the wall in between.
For me, maturity and experiences in a guy is more important than the age but sometimes we can't ignore the matter of age as well. Age distance will drag away the things in common on both couple if their age are far too distance. For me i would allow a man who is no more than 2 year younger and no more than 6 year older than me to enter into my life.

There's something i would like to ask you guy about being with woman older than you, you like to learn being a man from that elder woman or just you sure you are true? You really feel secure about being with an elder woman? Just curious.....

I would kill for an older woman to want to start something up with me- even given the fact that I'm a lover not a fighter. However, so far I've always dated younger girls in my now just over one-year-long dating oddesey. One of them tried playing a game with me, so I dropped her as fast as I could. Until I was a senior I had always pursued the older girls, but now that I'm a post-grad myself I will admit to "having a thing" for a girl as young as 14, who I almost did ask on a date until I found out that, being the Reverend's daughter, she's not allowed to date, though I'm sure I'd have been an exception from being a friend of the family; I just needed to start earlier on the whole working-up-the-courage bit. My limit would be anywhere up through the twenties, even 29 or so, as long as said older goddess-of-my-world didn't have any children. That would be slightly more complex than I could handle or want to handle until I have a CAREER, not just a job. I also think that there are plenty of young women older than I am now who play games.

I think it's the person who matters, not the age.

I think every "mature" woman owes it to herself to date a younger guy - I'm in my 30ies and my ex-cappy was 11 years younger than me and now my present virgo guy is 9 years younger than me. I felt self-conscious first time with Mr. Cappy and broke it off initially because of age difference but we got back and the age factor just melted into the background and went for good. It seems since I hit thirty, the young guys are swooning after me (something that never happened to me in my 20s??) - the sugar daddies are after me (but I have no interest in anyone my age or older - I'm shameless - I just need a young guy!!!! - One shameful event happened roughly two years ago - I met a guy in a club and he told me he was 26, then 24, and eventually 22! I dated him for a month or so - and guess what I discovered - he was only 17!!! I have to say though he was one of the most mature 17 year olds I've ever encountered and I know if it was the other way round I would be nearly done for statutary rape!!! Even my friends couldn't believe he was 17, they all thought about 25 - however, his flat-mate called me aside one nite and divulged his age to me - I challenged him and he admitted it - talk about getting out of that house like a bat out of hell!!!!!!! And funny enough I bumped into him just this Saturday nite gone by.....he's now 19 and catching up on me I guess:-)
