I prefer older men because of the maturity and experience. I believe there are younger mature guys, I just haven't met them.

Since people see so little of what a person actually *is* on the internet, I think age has become the focus for too many. And because of that immature focus they probably aren't ready for a relationship at all but that's another topic.



Biblically, God created the relationship between a man and woman to be a picture of Jesus' love for the church. Jesus is obviously the stronger, the more mature etc. So I think it's really silly for older women to be looking for younger men. It seems like a real perversion of that intent to me. I think the issue is many want to find a man they feel secure will give them many years of sustenance when they are already in their 30's or 40's. It has nothing to do with establishing a relationship that will glorify God.



But anyway let's think about age. What does it do? Well God can preserve people like he has me to where we are physically still competing in sports with kids. I mean glory to him I'm a 6' white guy who can still get over the hoop on a good day :-). This is...pretty unusual for a 49 year old but then most 49 year olds don't have the physique I do. They've relegated themselves to getting a beer gut and whatever. And that often has to do with a person's personal priorities which reflect how much they care about the temple of the Holy Spirit to a great degree. But regardless God could have allowed me to have injuries that would make it impossible to keep my body in shape. But he chose (I believe to glorify his name in me forming a relationship that WILL be a picture of Christ's love for the church in the physical realm... I mean the physical picture of an impressive dude WITH YEARS OF WISDOM...and a beautiful girl being a picture of the spotless bride of Christ... hey... glory to God. That's the optimal if the people really HAVE the spirit of God in them! I mean God can work a whole different aspect through a guy in a wheelchair or whatever but I don't natively PICTURE Jesus in a wheelchair ok? :-) )



So anyway age doesn't inherently make people weak. Or unable to support a family. There is a huge range..I have a friend at 60 getting plugged into dialysis today. Other guys make it to their 90's and are still able to take care of their wife like my old friend Harry Wallace whose wife just passed on a few days ago. Harry was a fantastic ball player in his day btw. Amazing story. He played for Belfountain, OR. A tiny school in the 1938 or something and they won the state chanpionship, beating schools that had 1000's of kids or whatever! Every guy in their class played to make a team. lol!



Then we get to the spiritual dimension. People can get more immature as they get prideful! Age can actually make them more spiritually wicked and deceitful and decrepit. Or the spirit can mature them more and give them more wisdom if they humble themself before God. If they open their heart to learn even from those who are young instead of posturing themselves as some kind of superior person. (On the other hand not just wasting their time with an obvious fool...) But anyway that's what age can do. All kinds of things. So we should not be making prejudgments. But we should also be concerned for the basic picture God is trying to set up. And in general I don't think older women should be looking at younger men to be a picture that God wants to establish.

Personally I don't care, as long as we are at similar places in life. I will say that I have not had success dating younger men. Not to generalize, but I think there is a lot of truth in the idea that women mature a lot quicker. At any rate, just personal preference, I don't like to go more than three years younger or six years older.

Usually older men. I wouldn't mind if a guy was a few years younger than me though.
