Syncerity Posted June 26, 2005 Posted June 26, 2005 when it comes to relationships, which do you prefer ladies, the younger or older type of guys? and how old is too old? how young is too young?
jen_jen_heartbroken Posted June 26, 2005 Posted June 26, 2005 I'm 31, and definitely prefer a man who is a couple years older than me. Most of the "men" my age are still hung up on the club scene and lack the maturity I look for. My age range for dating is generally between 32-45, depending on the individual person.
scaredinlove Posted June 26, 2005 Posted June 26, 2005 I prefer old guys, they are less selfish more mature.Age is just a number right?
Author Syncerity Posted June 26, 2005 Author Posted June 26, 2005 Originally posted by scaredinlove I prefer old guys, they are less selfish more mature.Age is just a number right? yea age is just a number...my moms friend always says, "if u didnt know how old you were, how old would you be"... thats very true...theres some young guys that are young but they are mature, and then there are some older guys who are immature... me myself being 19 i like older men...i tried dating folks around my age and that was a disaster.. they had no money, no dreams, no goals, just wanted to clown around all day, do every chick that had a pulse (cuz its illegal if she aint got one), just all that other stuff... i used to have a limit that i would go to, which was up to 27...but then i met the most intriguing guy and so i have upped my age limit..i have young parents (moms 17 and dads 19 yrs older than me)so my thing is if your older than my mommy your on icy water, but if your close to my dads age but not past him, you gotta have alot of qualities i like...but yea the guy i have met is 34 and he treats me like im the only person that matters to him, and treats me like a woman (forgot i was one,because ive never been treated right)...he's in the army and his soldiers sometimes talk about women and theyll be like, oh your robbing the cradle, its old guys like you takin all the young ladies away and blah blah... I dont agree with that at all, its the young guys pushing us youngins to the older men...not the older guys preyin on younger girls
centered Posted June 27, 2005 Posted June 27, 2005 When I was 20, I would have said 24+. At 30, I preferred 2-5 years older. At 40, I found men my age had a lot in common, and some were finally mature enough for a real and lasting relationship. But I still like my guys a bit older. Past 10 years, though, and we don't seem to have enough in common -- few common generational memories of music, culture, history, etc. that's not to say it *can't* work -- at least for awhile. One friend of mine married a guy 30 years her senior. But when he got to be 75, she sadly discovered at 45 she was still hot-blooded and vigorous, and he was now more like a grandfather. They tried an open marriage, but that failed. They're now separated. Very sad. Another friend of mine found someone 10 years *younger*. She was 42, we was 32. They didn't want kids, and she is in great physical shape and looks 35. They go kayaking, skiing, and cross-country motorcycling together. Maybe she's got it right? When she's starting to slow down, he will be, too. I guess there's no answer that works every time. You really have to be open, and treat each person as an individual, treat each relationship on a case-by-case basis.
MWC_LifeBeginsAt40 Posted June 27, 2005 Posted June 27, 2005 I would never go out with a guy who is young enough to be my son which would be about 16 years younger I guess. The same for older men, I would not date a man who is old enough to be my father. Being close to 40, I have pretty much experienced or been exposed to everything the sexual world has to offer. Well, enough to know that younger guys are in it for themselves and older guys are in it to please the woman. I know there are exceptions, but these are my rules.
