Does age really matter to you?

I've noticed a lot of people make comments about someone else's age on here and I was wondering how many people actually cared. I've never been one to turn someone down because of their age. I really believe that if you fall for someone it shouldn't matter how old they are. I remember when I was 18 I thought I was in love with a 34 year old and my friends and family went crazy saying that there was too much of an age difference and I thought that was just silly! If you're over 18 and you fall in love with a 60 year old, who cares? Love is love and you shouldn't put an age limit on it. I do understand, however, that if you're under 18 and you fall for someone much older then you, that could cause legal issues but other than that, what's the big deal?

I made the mistake of becoming emotionally involved with a 26 yr old, and boy did that backfire. His mom had a major cow, because it turns out I am older then she is. He and I really cared about and for each other, but she just wouldn't have it, so that ended that.

it somewhat matters to most of us. as a rule i really don't want a gal anywhere near my age simply because she could not keep up. i force myself to stay active because i want to be active. i still ride M X but most of the kids lap me in a 20 minute moto. the kids think its cool to have an old dude that still rides. i was married to a couch potato for 21 years and i will not go back. there are many compromises we have to make in a relationship and if it is just dating, i don't have a problem with age at all. the biggest hurdle with dating is the distance between our minds. i don't have a problem physically with dating a gal. we be jammin

It matters. I'm not saying an age gap is a deal-breaker in every relationship, but for the most part people separated by x amount of years(granted the x gets smaller as you get older) have very different goals and are usually(and rightly so) at very different places in their lives.

It doesn't matter all that much but I do have age limits I like to stay with. I don't think I'd be comfortable dating someone half my age. And I don't want some really old fart who sits home all the time!

My only issue with the men around my age is they are not into the things I am, and after spending most of the past 25 years doing what someone else wanted all the time (and most of the time that meant sitting around home and being sick trying to watch him [ex] channelsurf), I want to find someone who likes what I do.

If there are any guys out there my age that are into WoW and FFXI, and single, I have yet to meet them, and it isn't for lack of looking either.

Not to me.

I keep writing the women from china and russia asking for money and a place to stay because I would like to marry them and be the father of their 10 kids... As a bonus I tell them I'm 20 yrs. older so when I die in a few years they will still be young enough to find someone else.. No takers yet but I'm hoping soon

Yeah...it matters. Not within, say 10 years-(ish)
But generationally speaking, how do you share things in common with anyone younger or older than 10 years or so?
They have no frame of reference...nor do you.

Yeah.

If Marko and I ever break up, I know now I need someone older than me, and not just by three years or something. The differences between 20 year old boys and 26 year old men are amazing.

I'm not talking about sex. I'm talking about a relationship. I just posted this in the wrong section.

Well Rainbow if my eighteen year old sister was in love with a thirty-four year old man he better not be having sex with her~ because I would neuter him.

Maybe when I get older I'll understand what the big deal is.

Um.. somehow I got lost, the big deal about age difference?

It is all in the mind. i have seen couples that are within a couple of years in age not make it, and seen couples that have 20-30 years difference that are blissfullly happy.

It isn't the age of the person on the calendar, it is the age of the person in their heart.

Love is love, it has no boundries, it knows no distinction because things that matter most to people. Age, height, weight, you name it, they are all things that love doesn't see. Love is blind, but the people around us are not, and they judge.

Would I approve of an older woman/man with an underage (under 21) person? Heck no, because while the young person would not know any better then to act on a crush, the older person should.

At 18 everybody knows everything ! At 34 most realize that they don't know everything~ but some think they can manipulate 18 year olds and THEY are SKEEVY!!

I've dated someone 10 yrs older than me, and someone almost 8 years younger. 21 and 40 to be precise. Older men just seem more mature most of the time, although I'm not mature either so I can't be fussy.

...I've just never met anyone who is alot younger than me that I would date seriously.
