sdsurfgirl View Profile History	Guys, why does a woman's age matter? Posted : 5 Dec, 2009 12:30 AM Hello all you guys. I have a question and I'm seriously curious so, please, please, please respond. I have noticed that almost all men who are interested in a relationship are not interested in anyone in their own age range. However, these same men are fine with dating women 15 or more years their junior. If you are 50, or 40, or 30 then why do you only want to date women at your age range or younger? I guess I'm really very curious because women will allow for relationships with older men, but I haven't seen any men with older women. Please enlighten me. C Post Reply

But legally, I'm not rushing to meet 18 year old girls. There is quite a maturity gap between the average 18 year old and me. I would go for a slightly older woman. I think 35 might be pushing it only because its likely that we would be at different life stages. I've never dated a 35 year old woman so I can't say from experience. Dating a 45 year old would be really weird - too close to my mom's age. I would go for a woman 4 or 5 years older/younger than me though. Same age is fine too. Post Reply

Posted : 7 Dec, 2009 01:19 AM I don't doubt for a second that women that are looking for a sugar daddy and men that are looking for a sugar mama have a lot in common. I think both are shallow, insecure, and want someone to take care of them, and yes, both are probably somewhat lazy or they would go out into the world and make their own way. Unfortunately there are a lot of people like that out there of both genders. In fact, I had to have a conversation with the Pastor today about one that is making me feel very uncomfortable, the guy is 16 years younger than me, and we have little to nothing in common, and he zeros in on me at services now and tries to talk to me, while I am interested in worship, today, when I brushed him off gently, he fell asleep before within the first fifteen minutes of service and I slipped away when services were over and our associate pastor gently woke him up and sent him on his way. I have trouble understanding how anyone could fall asleep in our services, for there is nothing dull about them. I think the guy was messed up. I prayed with the Pastor about him, but frankly, I think he sees me as someone that would just take very good care of him, while I do not see myself being married to anyone that isn't as taken and on fire with the Lord as I am. Pastor tried to lighten things up a bit by telling me I should be flattered that a young man would find me attractive. Perhaps I should be, but it is difficult to deal with someone when you have already made it clear that you are not interested in them on that level. So that just leads to another question, why is it when you tell someone exactly how you feel, that they will NOT believe you, like somehow you do not know your own mind? Tarasye Post Reply
View Profile History	Guys, why does a woman's age matter? Posted : 8 Dec, 2009 07:15 PM hey, i prefer an older woman up to about 10 years senior (i may be willing to consider a little older) i wouldn't rule out a younger woman because she's younger but i prefer a little bit older than younger. problem is im not within a lot of these ladies' age range requirements. so don't go lumping all guys into the same catagory Post Reply
david3by9 View Profile History	Guys, why does a woman's age matter? Posted : 10 Dec, 2009 08:53 AM We should be careful in judging by external cues. Sometimes people fall asleeep in a service because they have a job late at night or they might not have slept or even have a sleeping disorder. It sounds like you don't know this person very well and are making judgements about them not based on a relationship you have with them as a friend but from what you think. They may or may not be true. I find it is better to get to know the person and then you can see what they really are like. Maybe he is just a friendly guy and you have totally misread his intentions. The reason I say this, is because I have had that happen to me so often and they were way off in who they thought I was. They didn't take the time to talk to me or get to know me but made assumptions that were inaccurate. God bless, David Post Reply
Devotedlove47^ View Profile History	Guys, why does a woman's age matter? Posted : 10 Dec, 2009 09:09 AM Hi Surfgirl, I cannot speak for all men, I can only share with you my reasons why I personally seek to find a marriage partner somewhat younger than myself. I am a very active 49 year old male. I grew up running Track and Cross Country, and have been an active runner throughout my adult life. I enjoy running 10k's, and funruns for charities, just to to keep myself in the best condition physically, and spiritually as I can be for the work of the ministry. I am not a career runner, I just love to run. It has been very difficult for me to find a christian woman my age or older who, actively works out to keep herself fit. Nearly all of the women whom I met that were my age or older, were so not into working out, they suffered from all kinds of health related ailments. They also tended to act and behave more like 60 year old retirees, who had no real passion for life, so I stopped looking to marry women who were my age or older. I began seeking women who were younger, with a true passion for God, because I felt that they would be more active in the ministry, and more excited about our life together in God. I also believe personally, that they have a more teachable spirit, and are not stubbornly set in their ways, when it come learning from their husbands. But this is just MY opinion, and my experiences, no one elses. Post Reply
View Profile History	Guys, why does a woman's age matter? Posted : 12 Dec, 2009 03:48 PM I don't want to bore you with a long reply, so I'll make it short and sweet and if you're interested in talking further just reply. I honestly find women my senior to be fascinating. The qualities I typically look for in a woman is how well they can stand on their own two feet, how unique their personality is, and admittedly how well-kept their hair is. Normally, women younger than myself don't have ANY of these traits. I'd rather a friend or significant other be someone I look up to or atleast get along equally with rather than someone I have to babysit in other words. Those are my two or three cents. =) Post Reply

View Profile History	Guys, why does a woman's age matter? Posted : 16 Dec, 2009 06:02 AM With most men, they find the younger a woman is the more beauty there is to behold. Men I believe are more visual then the ladies. Also many women don't take care of themselves after the reach a certain age and neither to many men for that matter and often times both genders get left out of having a normal relationship, like in getting left behind series.

Peters View Profile History	Guys, why does a woman's age matter? Posted : 16 Dec, 2009 09:21 PM As they say, "Age is just a number". They also say that, "Older is wiser". We are just in a body and obviously it will perish.. shortly. I have seen men older by 10-15 yrs having a great marriage. But I have not come across any like that where the woman is 15 yrs older. I have a very good friend where he married a lady who is 7 yrs older and they are very happy! So it is possible, when the chemistry is right. Blessings :glow: Post Reply
GlendoraMike View Profile History	Guys, why does a woman's age matter? Posted : 5 Jan, 2010 11:16 AM :waving: Well, each person has their reasons. Sometimes the younger woman and the older man are both looking for security. Younger men tend to be out to get established and are seeking identity. Older women now have the empty nest and can go out and do what they couldn't do before. The young woman and the older man are after security. The older woman doesn't need him because she is getting established. On another site that I left, I had trouble just looking at profiles without a 20 something wanting to IM with me. A lot of the young women there where looking for older men. For myself, I like the idea of someone close to my age, but reality sets in. That being an 11 year old boy. I'm 58 and women close to my age write about wanting to travel and do all the things that they put off while raising their children. So for guys like me; we may best pair with a woman that is in her 40's and has a child and needs security as well as love.:hearts: Post Reply
