wceviper 0 #1 May 2, 2002 When your dating someone, when does age difference become an issue? Whats the biggest difference in age between you and someone you have dated? I have dated someone 6 years older than me, I have also dated someone 2 years younger than me. I am 24 now. Dating an older women isn't big deal, but I often wonder if it was to her. Just looking for input. And please, leave the damn sheep and goats outta this thread. ;-)-JasonYou may push me around, but you cannot win!You may throw me down, but i'll rise again!

gale 0 #2 May 2, 2002 I just posted something similar (Age and Skydivers) a few days ago. I'm 24 too and I think that I would date probably someone 10 years older then me, but more then that, I don't know. Think about introducing the person to the people you care about, and if you'd feel OK about that. When it comes down to it age shouldn't matter, but on some level, to me, it does. I think basically it all comes down to the specific couple. Some people can make large differences work and some don't.GaleLife's not worth living if you can't feel alive Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quade 3 #5 May 2, 2002 Sophie Tucker used to tell a story about her and her husband Earnie.Earnie came in one day and said, "Soph, when I'm 60, I'm going to get me a 20-year-old girl friend" and Sophie said, "Earnie, when I'm 60, I'm going to get me a 20-year-old boyfriend. And Earnie, let me tell you something. 20 goes into 60 a hell of a lot more than 60 goes into 20."quadehttp://futurecam.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dove 0 #8 May 2, 2002 I married someone 12 years my senior. When does it make a difference? When one or both of you enters a new phase of life. He wanted to slow down and I wanted to jump into life and explore all it had to offer. Suddenly we wanted totally different things out of life. Just something to think about.dove Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E150 0 #9 May 2, 2002 You don't choose who you fall for or who you get on with best.I doubt that most people would choose to date someone much older or younger, but it happens.

Seriously, though, I agree with dove. I spent a couple of really bad years with a guy 12 years older than me. I didn't realize they were bad at the time, but if someone treated me like that these days, I'd kick him in the crotch and run like hell.Quite frankly, that experience led me to worry about the motivations of someone who seeks out a partner in a completely different age group. But what the hell, different strokes for different folks. I've seen some very loving relationships betwen people with big age chasms between them.Taking nominations for new screen name.

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Jessica 0 #21 May 2, 2002 No, it was bad cause he was a jerk. But, I was so young (19) that I really didn't know enough to stand up for myself, and I suspect that's why he pursued me -- he wanted someone pliable and naive, and by golly, a 19-year-old will do nicely.So that's why I'm suspicious of someone who LOOKS for someone in a different age group. But being suspicious of them is different than condemning them, which I would never do. I've seen too many happy eyes for that.Taking nominations for new screen name.

They tend to play less games, be more comfortable in their own shoes. There are younger exceptions. The only problem with that is women in their early to mid thirties that don't have kids tend to be in the "I'm running out of time and my biological clock is ticking frame of mind" So they can tend to pressure more than say a 28-29 year old. Youngest I've dated was 20, oldest was 38.. It seems that 28ish seems to be the sweetspot for me. I myself would like to have more kids someday so that has to be considered as well. So age has to be factored into what you are looking for in the future. And yes.. Women tend to be hung up on dating "younger" men. Age is an attitude and a culmination of life experience. The good ones will see past the number and look at you for who you are.Hope this helps,Rhino Blue Skies .....
