Author	Thread: Age...just a number?
Admin	Age...just a number? Posted : 9 Feb, 2012 08:55 PM Is it strange for young women to be attracted to older men (10+ years)? Some say this is abnormal and/or perhaps even inappropriate. Would love to hear what you guys think about this. Are alot of older men also attracted to younger women? And why or why not? Post Reply
View Profile History	Age...just a number? Posted : 9 Feb, 2012 09:16 PM Well, one of my best friends likes to date older guys, and not just like, one or two years but the "I'm out of college and have my life together" kind of older. At least that is what she says, but her track record would say otherwise for age, and faith. (Her last few boyfriends have not been older, nor Christian, despite both being 'dealbreakers') My little sister though also, she just turned 21, her boyfriend is 32? It was a little weird for me at first to think about but whatever, it makes 'em happy you know? As far as I feel about it, getting into different age 'groups', they may be a great match, but they'll always be in different life situations. The older guy may be worrying about buying a home when the girl is worrying about final exams. Then she's worrying about careers, and he's worrying about kids. She worries about planning for their college, he'll worry about his retirement. They'll always be just one step different (or more, depending) in the biggest life issues they'll face internally. Aside from that aspect, age is just a number in my books. Post Reply

View Profile History	Age...just a number? Posted : 10 Feb, 2012 11:21 AM No.. Most definitely not.. It is mostly a states thing.. Most women in the states are pigeonholed into a 5-7 year range.. If you have ever been overseas. You see a much wider age range.. Sometimes 20 plus years.. They see an older man as something they want and pursue.. As an example look at C�line Dion & Ren� Ang�lil Though she had an issue with her family about it.. They made it.. 17 years now.. I knew I loved you http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60H8R_wHHjs Though i could say more about women overseas.. I'll get back lash from states women.. So leave that one alone.. Of course probably get the stupid green card thing as well.. Love has no boundaries, except those you place on it :)) (Are alot of older men also attracted to younger women?) Yep though most won't admit it here.. Then again a states culture issue. mentality etc.. Post Reply

View Profile History	Age...just a number? Posted : 11 Feb, 2012 08:15 PM Joseph was about 50 and Mary about 14-16 when Messiah was born. Her in America ( oopppsss The Homeland ) the government has placed an age upon which people can marry,Yet i believe the Word of YHWH sets the standard.. Age should not matter,but faith in Yeshua,and character should be what a person looks for in others. Shalom Post Reply

Posted : 11 Feb, 2012 08:58 PM 20 dating 30 or 30 dating 40 I can see, but gee whiz george, do you think marrying off your kid at 14-16 would be a good idea in the society we are living now??? If a 50 year old man (my age) comes knocking on my door to court my 17 year old daughter, he's going to be greeted with a shotgun cocked and get a boot in the a*s as he's leaving! Post Reply
View Profile History	Age...just a number? Posted : 11 Feb, 2012 09:55 PM There are several factors that play into this. However, as a rule of thumb, most dating experts say that more than 10 years difference and you start running into problems. The problems begin to escalate at 15 years older. When the person begins to become old enough to be your parent that makes a very unequal dynamic. Before anyone jumps on this next statement, let me explain what I mean first. The Bible warns us about being "unequally yoked". This applies specifically to Unbelievers, but it also has applications elsewhere. God's will also, of course, plays a huge factor in this. Personalities. Interests. Cultures. Upbringing. Maturity. Etc. The Bible doesn't outright discredit it. Obviously there are numerous examples in the Bible and in life of couples with huge age gaps. Its not that it can't or doesn't happen, its that it isn't always the best thing. So that needs to be considered. You also should be asking yourself "Why am I attracted to the older man?" What are your deep seated motives? What attracts you to them? There really isn't a clear cut answer. Just be very careful because there can be some serious issues involved. Also keep in mind that as you get older the difference changes dramatically. The difference between a 20 and 35 year old is significantly larger than a 35 year old and 50 year old. Post Reply
View Profile History	Age...just a number? Posted : 12 Feb, 2012 07:39 AM my uncle was 68 and his wife was 21. Yep, 47 year age difference. That was 17, almost 18, years ago and they are still married. Of course, my uncle had never been married so it was the first marriage for both. Post Reply

View Profile History	Age...just a number? Posted : 13 Feb, 2012 09:00 AM I happen to be attracted to older men, however, there is a limit even for me how much older I would date. If any man is close to my parents age I wouldn't go for that. I'm thinking maybe 10 to 12 years max. Post Reply
