Well those who know me know that on occasion I have moments when i start to think... Allways dangerous for a woman like me lol as I tend to think too deeply. However i want to ask you this question. Does age really matter between two people? Now, before you all jump in and say noooooo of course not. Lets get real here It seems to me that an age difference issue?depends on the ?generations and genders concerned. For example, for my generation, it seems that men of my age are looking for women who are at least ten years younger. Traditional arm candy.,?Maybe its the age old fear of death some men have that they want younger flesh to keep them young and vigorous. I dont know perhaps you older men can answer that one ?For the women, we I think are more realistic [cougars notwithstanding] and are looking for someone a couple of years either way of their own. Younger men seem to be less rigid lol [ok drag your minds out of the gutter!] and are more flexible when it comes to age. They seem to relish the company of women who are both younger and?older. They are generally, talking about older women,?Loving their maturity and experience. I dated a man of 38 for a while [ in my cougar phase]?and once i had come to terms with it enjoyed the experience but you know what? i still prefer to have someone of my ownish age, a few years either way. So we are able to enjoy the same things , laugh at the same jokes, have the same point of reference. Frankly theres nothing worse than hearing a song on the radio and saying God i loved that song do you remember it? only to have your partner say no, it was before my time LOLOL so what do you think.... Does it matter? is it in the mind or are we better to stay within our own generation?

Twisted Winds, i m reall not interested in your patronising remarks on my blog. If you cant be civil stay off my blog or ill delete you As for your itemised list of reasons for not responding to a mail ill tell you this my dear. Do not assume for one minute that im interested in you¿I was writing to you to¿ salute¿ your style. That is all.¿As a matter of good form and manners it would have been proper to acknowledge it thats all. Most of us at some stage on here write a small missive to say Hi at one time or another, it all adds to the sense of community. The fact that you found time to admonish me publicly rather than privately only shows me that you are not a very nice person. i feel sorry for you dear/

Hi Tink.¿ Yes, age does matter for most people in relationships.¿ Yet others it does not. For example, my mother married a man my age.¿ They have been married for 10 years now.¿ As to Twisted Wind. LOL.¿ He has been here before with another name(s).¿ Welcome back HM.

Another side to it: . While we probably all prefer the most handsome package that can wrap our requirements, we do mostly prefer our own age.¿ They just get all the jokes and references.¿ . But, most of us "Renaissance men and women" (and yes, Tink, here in the¿colonies that includes beach shirts):):) like to think we are open minded to differences of good folk.¿.One of those differences is age..So, for me, at least, I try to remain open to others of various ages...I have been pleasantly surprised to find great maturity and depth in¿ some women of younger ages...Now, for one reason or the other (unrelated to the age difference) we were not the answer to each other's riddle...But I feel comfortable in saying the age difference would never have been material, with HER.¿ . And I would be just as open to a woman of an older age....Here, it is me who would have to be more informed than my peers to be able to place references from HER generation.¿ As a student of history, and one who has always had great friends of the generation older than me, I think I can meet that standard....But I have to factor in two additional things.¿ One, it takes a very high energy level to keep up with me.¿ A woman of too many years older is not as likely to have that level.¿ And two, most women of any appreciable age greater than mine are not interested in being involved with young children. (Most women of my age, too, for that matter.):):)¿ . So, it can certainly work,¿ but same age is always easier.:):)

Quoting: Originally posted by TwistedWinds I concur; but, then again ... what gives ... when one travels among those of a realm that simply defines such strictures; knowledge, bio-markers and relevance are not proprietary, but won of cleverness, tenacity and will, steeped in a respect of the range of possibilities that could, would or might steer, so to speak.
Off-the-page, too, factors highly into most worth-while equations; randomness, as an amorphous concept, pegged, at any pin-point, so to speak, or "dot theory", re "its transport, flight, location or transmutation" involves, too, collaborative values whose allegiance to any moment, rates, at best, possible; dependable is that streaming, fluidity or evaporation might occur, prior to isolation, for a time, no matter how fleeting.
So that should serve as your aim; albeit, there are some whom try to patent such knowledge ... and have, to a point.

I agree age DOES matter. A relationship is psychological and intellectual beyond the physical chemistry.¿ From my perspective, being on the same wave length "historically" can be a mighty sexy thing.¿ It is the rare couple with a wide age difference that can make a happy life together, and I say good for them...but the reality is, age matters IMHO.

It absolutely matters.¿ At least to me.¿ If I say to a man:¿ "Do you remember when the Beatles firs hit the scene...?"¿ Or, "Remember when Elvis Presley was first on Ed Sullivan and they quickly cut him out of full view--hips gyrating--to an above the waist view..."¿ I ask those questions and the man has no clue what I'm talking about.¿ Well, there goes two hours of lively, fun--and often romantically inspirational discusssion--down the tubes.¿ Cougars can do their thing.¿ More power to them.¿ Being a cougar is not for me.¿ I want a man who has roughly the same historical perspective I do. Also, on a more serious note:¿ when I can recall seeing hordes of servicemen returning from the Korean War milling around in Grand Central Station, and the man I'm talking to isn't even sure what the heck the Korean War was, I want to cry.¿ And I even still remember when I was 3-1/2 and 4 years of age seeing servicemen in Grand Central Station still coming home from duties of WWII.¿ And the Grand Central News Reel Theater.¿ Boy, would I like to find a man who remembers that!!!!¿ Or can at least relate to how it felt to go to that theater on a Sat. morning and watch the newsreels; see clips of Truman and MacArthur, and then¿some¿hilarious Warner Brothers cartoon....¿ Yeah, you gotta be 60 or more to remember that stuff and relate to it.¿¿ So, yes, age matters to me a lot. ¿ Curious2078/Pat¿ ¿

Deb, I think its all about how you look at love. I forget the famous person who said "its better to have loved and lost then to have never loved at all"
Now that being said, one of my best friends married a young woman 1/2 his age, he was 50, she was 25,,they have been married now for 17 years, they are very much in love, have one child,,, her philosphy,,I'm going to love him for the rest of my life, regardless of how long he is physically here. This is not about money, he's not rich,, its about LOVE !
something to think about !

Sheesh, Conyers who said anything about desperation?¿ It's about finding the right fit and not about trying to stick a square peg¿in a round hole.¿ I've met men who put desperation in a whole new category.....mostly in that they are desperate for sex and not the relationship...LOL!¿¿

LOL fifficus you are right on many levels especially when at a certain age women seek men who are 10 years older and more. Its not the ten years now but the ten years in ten years!!!!! and then the ten begin to feel like twenty, and i imagine if you go for younger the same applies the other way round

lol Arizona then get out there and do some homework on it!!
Quoting: Originally posted by Arizona53 If I find someone who is too much older.....say 10 years or more......there is a pretty good chance I'll be doing this again only next time I may be in my 60's or 70's, and that does not appeal to me.? Then again that doesn't mean I wouldn't consider it based on?fitness, health, and interests.? On the flip side my son is 30, and dating someone who is in his generation doesn't appeal to me either.... In the end what I would really like at this point is not to spend too many more Saturday nites with a girlfriend or my kids and have a real date.....LOL! ?
