Using the Mesopotamian calender Im 37 Hell in some countries my intellect and maturity is viewed by most to be that of a 35 year old man lol.
Aw you had to hit me with the "for your age" line lol. Wait hold up just noticed you only gave me props for my maturity not my intellect :smt120
Yes, after March though, it'll be 28-30. Unless the guy's as goodlooking as you, I might be able to make an exception. :smt050 :lol:
I'm 25 although many say I look 19 - 20. My luck falls within the 19 to 22 year-old-range so that is age range I date 90% of the time. Cheers!
Oh I have no doubt of that. In answer to the thread, I try not to limit myself within reason. I think the world in general tries to impose limitations on people, so I'm not going to operate within self-imposed limitations. Consciously I wouldn't pursue a man significantly younger than me and what seems to work best for me are men at least 5 years older, but then I don't pursue men anyway and I'm open to anyone who approaches me respectfully. So if I felt a connection to someone, age would likely be irrelevant. I also think the instant you say 'I'd never', it comes back to bite you on the ass, so I also try to avoid that. I have trouble envisioning myself with someone more than say 10 years younger than me, but that's honestly just a mental block that would disappear if the right guy came along and happened to be 15 years younger than me... I know myself well enough to realize that I'd be open to whatever felt right to me, and I couldn't care less about what the rest of the world thinks. I think if you find someone you really connect with, who is at a similar mental level of maturity, and who is interested in dating you, why limit yourself because of a number? So 30 or 60 really shouldn't make a difference if they please you and you please them. It's hard enough to find people that you really hit it off with, if you set a limit on age, that increases the difficulty and the odds that you'll find someone you could have a truly meaningful relationship with.
I've recently discovered that age itself means little to connection or love, but I suppose when it comes to two people being at completely different life stages, that's where age gaps could cause problems with a relationship..
Age<29, I need my woman to be able to wait till I'm 33 and ready to have kids. And in general fertility falls off at 35, hence 29.
As an man in his late forties, if I were on the market I would absolutely set a limit. I mean, let's be reasonable. I would draw the line at 30---full stop. Of course, there are always exceptions, so if a woman older than that appealed to me I would have to consider her. :mrgreen:
Why is age more than a number when it comes 2 love? Should we ask the ones who speculate When they don't know what it's made of? ahhh prince. well i'm now 39 (arrgghh...how did that happen...???), whilst i don't want to limit myself, i also can't really see myself with someone under 30, and like espy think it's more a mental block than anything else. when it comes to older though, i'm more inclined to only go up a few years from me...45 would probably be the cut off.
See now I don't apply that same mental block to older, I could easily see 50 or 60 as feasible depending on the man. That may perhaps just be because relationships with older men have always been more successful for me, though I find the mindset of younger men tends to be a good fit now as well. I'm with you though, it's a mental block and I'm sure age would be the last thing on my mind with the right man.
I'm 34, I look and feel 20. I tend to attract younger women but when I used to do a lot of online dating older women would hit me up. I think a lot of them wanted a fit guy that wasnt too old bit still young, if that makes sense. Age range for me is 25-31. Maybe 24 but i dated a 23 yr old and she was a big damn brat so no more young ones for me.
Not that it's set in stone, but I'd be willing date someone 10 years younger or ten years older. I'll be 39 in a few days btw.
I'm 44. Usually date men about 5 years younger, but my current guy is 46. Have dated really young guys in their 20s, but won't go there again.
