I've been fedup with the all the bullshit woman my age have collected over there lives I just love it when this thread pops up. It seems thats what i need, a woman whos still open to being in love.
Thanks, Steffan -- that's why I posted this thread, and also because someone had posted a new one about younger men and older women, and also because I didn't feel like sifting the archives. Sorry if it seems redundant to anyone ... you can ignore it if you want.
I'm sorry all I was pointing out is if you put up a thread with this issue expect some intense reactions that's all. I think it's good you did it and all I was showing you is how it can get out of hand if people don't stick to the original Post. It's a very touchy issue for many and pushes lot's of buttons which yes is a good thing. Also-know that the people who were all at one another's throats are all cool with one another now. The relationship I was in at the time is over a long time now and it's end had nothing to do with age differences. Just two people going their own ways in life. So thanks for putting it up and i'm sorry if I came off the wrong way.
I like younger women because they are still spunky enough for adventure, you can call them up , say that there is a concert in the city tonight & they are up & ready to go, want to have fun & good times, rather than the typical 35 year old florida grandmother who has 3 ex husbands & 4 kids, ( 2 on crack ), who is pissed off at you that week because you fixed her truck & unclogged her drain, because she has only known abuse her entire life & says that you are "too nice".
I'm 35 and my partner is 53. I've always been attracted to older men and fell in love staright away. I hoped he would feel the same way about me too and luckily he did. Our relationship is so loving and open in every way. The sex is out of this world and plenty of it too. I like the fact that we talk to each other and he never judges me in any way. The maturity and knowlege of life etc has always been something that a younger man would not be able to provide.
I see a few gals aged 18 or so with an OLDER guy, such as 40+ and I cringe. It's blatantly obvious that it's just the money that the gal is after.
I can see why some people might think that a young woman is with a more mature man just for the money, and that obviously can be the case in some relationships. I am with my partner because I fancy him from top to bottom and we love each other! Oh and we both earn the same so it's definately not the money in my case. That's never been something I cared about.
Most of the women I've been with have been older than me. I have a hard time with women under 30. At the risk of making another "horrible generalization" - most young women I meet are flaky, play games, or extremely passive. They have to be entertained and pursued until I can't do it any longer. Plus younger women seem to be very impressionable about a bunch of shit I couldn't care less about. I'm an understated guy... That being said, finding a woman in her 30s who's open to be with a younger guy and who's available is a little difficult... I don't know, I feel trapped in corner - but I have to take responsibility for the mediocrity of my interaction with women in general.
i won't date a man younger than 22 or older than 28. why? i just don't like men my age. they're immature. they all want the same thing. i'm already ready to settle down so i want a man who thinks the way i do. the only man over 28 i'd want is dave grohl mmmm
I forgot to mention the fact that women in their 30s I meet tend to be more sexually liberated and affectionate. Oh, and they don't have the "magazine cover complex" as much- meaning, they don't expect everyone to look and behave like someone on TV. That being said I think little age rules are stupid, like all little rigid rules anyways. Thou shalls and shall nots are meant for people with an IQ below 60. It must be the anarchist influence in my thinking, but I give primacy to the individual and his/her uniqueness. Don't matter how much pressure others apply, human beings just have a way of not letting themselves be ironed out into the same mold. It's all in allowing oneself to really getting to know someone and the kinks start coming out. Age aside I just avoid: 1) cock-teasing flakes; 2)judgemental ego-maniacs; 3)prudes; 4)status and gold-diggers; 5) passive sit-arounds; So long as a woman is willing to share a non-possessive relationship mutually, and w/o gender double-standards, it's a go. Who gives a shit about age? But consistent, participant interest from women have come at a premium in my life so far. Unless I'm willing to hand ownership of my body over to them. What a bore...
That reminds me of something Archie Bunker said one time. Edith had been acting kind of funny, and Archie said, "Edith, if you're going through that 'change of life' again, this time you're going to the hospital!" :sunglasse
i tend to connect more often to younger women myself thats not to say i havent had some fantastic connections to a few older then me as well, just not as often but its not really about how old or young a person is but who they are...
until recently I dated younger women exclusively. They kept me young and on the move, expected me to "raise the bar" and they all said older men know how to hit it right. I have no complaints and neither did they. And for the record, if they were with me for the money, they were disappointed. I'm a poor, country carpenter and practically a socialist.
Younger women rule. So what if she is in it for the money, most guys are in it for the pussy anyway so if you are going to make that trade, why would you trade for 45 year old pussy when you can make the same trade for 19 year old pussy?
Am I reading this right, or was the last response to this thread in 06 before the one today? I'm still figuring this out. But, I'll put my 2 cents in anyway.....I'm 26....I dating a guy who is 45 for the past couple of years....right at the moment, we're not together, but sometimes space is better then trying to make things work if that makes sense. It's not an age thing though.....we just happened to click and have a ton in common. My last boyfriend was 2 years younger then me....I think it's all about a connection with someone not their age. Now, after saying that.....a large age difference can lead to problems, whether that's fair or not. From my experience, a 20-something and a 40-something are usually at different points in their lives...but, we can only live one day at a time and see where it goes. eace:
