| I date younger guys, usually older than 30. Age does play a factor at times as I've been approach by guys as young as 16-19 and this is not even an option for me. It may stroke men's egos but it doesn't for most OW I know. Over 30 gives me a better person whose character has been forged through the process of clubbing, the partying, the schooling, and the establishment of careers. His life experience is such where in his 30s (hopefully) he's ready to settle down, but still enjoy life with his life partner instead as a rat pack. I will not carry someone in his early 20s who is still pretty much still doing the Sesame Street dance.
There are exceptions, of cause.
Also, as much as OW will date YM, if they are too young, there is a insecurity issue. If its 20+ years, alot of ow cannot handle it. The insecurities overwhelms them when they are with yw, if he hasn't had kids and/or if there's an ex involve who won't let the past be the past. You also have to remember that she's going to age alot faster than you are. There's so much exercise and anti-aging creams we can put on our faces, eventually the body will break down and she may not have the energy or desire to be physical at a later time. Its easy when you're with someone closer in age and you're both going through the aging process together, but when one partner is younger, he does not see that aging process and although he can love you inspite of it, I find that many lose the rose colour lenses and measure their age to their partners and cut out.
So only you can decide just how old is too old. Unfortunately, love at times is conditional and age like everything esle is temporary. If you can look at this person through the eyes of love and still still the spark that drew you to her, great...but be absolutely sure this is what you want and not becuase you friends say so. You're the one who has to live with your choice.

| bull_......thanx for you post...I have been contemplating the age thing....here and at home, I seem to attract quite the age difference from myself....and I am not sure why that is. 10yrs seems extreme to me, but that is what keeps comming my way. I am trying to go with it, however difficult...seems the higher powers have plans of their own for me....lol

| I've been in both positions -
1st wife was 13yrs older
2nd 13yrs younger
life with both was beautiful
problem was that both changed
the younger got older and changed her wants - faster life-style, getting older - wanted younger guy - married co-worker
the older got older and changed her wants - faster life-style, getting older - wanted younger guy - married boss
I pretty much stayed who I am and had to deal with the leftovers
Doesn't matter physical agewise
Matter's emotional agewise
just my .02 worth

| I want to thank everyone for their input. I can say the women I have dated, that are my age, do seem to be more worried about partying still. Myself I do not like going to clubs, alot of that has to do with things that have happened to me in my life. I do know what has always made things different is when someone I am talking to finds out I was in the military, and what my job was. To me I think this is what has slowed , if not stoped my chances at being with someone. I wonder then, do most women find it disturbing to date someone that was in the military?
