age diff and dating

Recommended Posts

I amd 32, and my BF is 47. He DOES NOT look 47...people think that he is in his mid-30's. If you ask me, he puts the younger guys to shame. He is sexy, quite active and young at heart. Being young at heart is more important to me than being young. Personally, I love that I am in my early thirties now as I am more accepting of myself.

Age differences only matter when you are a teenager or in your 20's. Once you get past 30, the differences are usually a non-issue.

IMO, youthfulness is mental and emotional, not physical. I also believe that many skydivers seem younger than non-skydivers because of their passion for their sport.

I've dated women 7, 12 and 16 years older, and as much as 11 years younger. Older women know better what they want and the seem to have fewer silly notions of what's OK and what's not.

What works best is compatibility in interests and ideas, and what you both want for the future.

But what do I know - I married a skydiver.

I use the half my age plus 7 rule.



I find that the 20% rule seems to work for most people. If the women is 20, the guy is 20% older, 24. 30, 36. 40, 48.

People can rate themselves 1-to-10 on looks, personality, cash, committment. Add those numbers together. The person you date will always add up to the same number.

If you put importance on one category, another feature is generally reduced. More money, less looks. Better looks, weird personality, etc.

well me personally i just turned 24 and i have dated women up to 36 years old. I dont care to judge someone by a number i judge them for who they are.



I agree with you totally. Last year I met this chick in Florida who was 22 (I am 43) and her family had a problem with that number. They never bothered to find out who I am, just rated me by the number and told her Im am no good for her.

People like that always want the "perfect match", maybe they should start building androids to suit their particular tastes.

How very true. See the previous post of mine about the 22 year old...Im going to email her what you wrote here so she can realize that there really is someone else out there that thinks she is unbelievably stupid, not just me.

Not that I still like her (I dont), but just that I like proving my point.

Probably accepted by the friends of the 16 yo... but most likely NOT by the parents. ;)

Yeah, it's fine, we'll walk down the line. Leave our rain, a cold trade for warm sunshine
You my friend, I will defend... and if we change, well, I love you anyway

I'm married, so I don't date. BUT in general, I'm not really attracted to women under 30 anymore. I'm 47 myself and find women from their thirties thru fifties very attractive.



I like them between 30 and 50 as well - and women between 18 and 30 too.

I don't think it matters that much. Any more than 10 yrs or so would make me think the two people are not being honest about what they want. It's hard for me to believe they would have much in common. My parents are 9 years apart and they have been married for 40 years. *shrug*
