Gremio Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 Well Im 24 if it was me you were asking what age I was... I dont understand what being 20 and childless vs 30 with children has anything to do with my orignal post. You may certainly feel this way but there are many others who dont. Just like some people think being ditzy is a dealbraker while others do not. Just like some wish to only date college grads and others do not. Im sorry but I found your comment to be a personal jab with no other intention than to sound like an arrogant prick. Youd be one I cross off my list. Are you talking referring to me? I was speaking to MNrandonguy. As far as the 20 vs 30 and being childish, I'll elaborate. A good majority of people 21-25 are the party type. They want to go out on the weekends and get drunk, drink too much, etc. I'm too old for that now, I was when I was 21, and I was even when I was 18. They lack stability in their careers, their intelligence, and their personalities. I gave ONE person a chance who was younger than me recently and it blew up in my face in ways you couldn't imagine. P.S. I used the world "childish" when referring to younger people acting immature. I don't know where the topic of children came up.
refurb Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 I don't see the point in dating somebody and opening up myself to developing feelings for him if it's going to be a dead-end road. I don't want to waste my time. While I'm definitely in no rush to ever get married again, I'd like there to be SOME long-term potential to a guy even if it's just a long-term relationship without marriage. That about sums it up for me! RF
spookie Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 I don't know about marriage, but my new dating philosophy is not to go out with anyone I can't see myself falling in love with.... which is why I've been dateless since I decided.

I'm OK with being crossed off of your list. You may find that some of these guys that you dismissed as an 18 y/o are no longer begging for your attention. I just wanted to say you may find yourself competing for the guys you used to discard. Just because you want one type of guy at one point of your life and another type of person at another point in your life does not mean that you're entitled to it. You can take my comments as a personal jab, but, that was not the intention.
soserious1 Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 I try my best to filter out and/or avoid any man who wants something besides casual sexual encounters.
