Dating older or younger?

like i said it really depends on the woman. The last two gorl friends I had are 24, and 35



Ive courted two women are 18, a possible woman at 19, one at 27, and started conversations with a variety of women.



I am more selective with older women because more than likley they have kids, and I need to be careful who i bring around my young uns, sides if they have a daughter who is old enough i might be more interested in the daughter lol jk...



all in all im not ready to raise teens, and alot of the women 18-22 or so arent ready for kids, but it doesnt mean i will put a strict limit on either, cause Im not soverighn and i want the best God has, and I dont know what that is, for the most part. :)

Goodness Tulip...I sure do feel old now. I guess my good childbearing years are behind me, so I may as well be put out to pasture...or sold to the glue factory. :ROFL::ROFL::ROFL:

Exactly BCPG!

Haha just kidding. That second part was in response to Jesusloves' question regarding dating 15-20 year older women.

LOL!!! :laugh:



I know you meant the ladies who are 15-20 years older than the guys, which would put them probably at 35-40. And you do have a point.

Even though I'm still young (27), I figure that I probably only have about 10 more "safe" childbearing years left. While it is very possible for a woman to have children when she is older than 37 (my little sister was born one month before my mom's 40th birthday), the risk is really high...in fact, a friend of mine was recently told by her doctor that the risk increases exponentially after about 35.

Guys who want to date (and, I suppose, marry) significantly older women need to know that they could be giving up the chance to have children of their own.

Well ...



I'm going to be reaching the mature middle age of 64 next week ... "will you still need me, will you still feed me, WHEN I'M 64?!!!" ... so I definitely qualify for some gals in the "older and wiser in life and Christ" category, but I think age really should be relative ... God's best for you will be God's best for you, and you'll both discover it in your hearts in His timing and revealing, whatever your ages are.



My ex-wife was 9 years younger than me but I loved her just as sincerely and dearly as she did me back while we were together ... and my ex-fiancee is 19 years younger than me ... so ... I try to remain open, but within a ceertain age range, stamina, life experiences and historically shared interests-wise ... and so I've set my desired age range as between 40 and 65 ... by the way, I've shared this before when I was a member of CDFF a couple of years ago: I consider our mature middle age years to be between 40 and 80, that you're really a "senior" from 80 to 100 and up (my grandmother lived to be 102 and I hope to follow her example, Lord willing!!!), with 13 to 20 naturally being your teen years and 20 to 40 being your young, maturing adult years, no what anyone else tries to tell you and "pigeion-hole" your heart and lifestyle into being!!! We all can go to be with the Lord or not at any age, anyway, so ... why make someone feel they have "one foot in the grave" when they're over a certain age? Right? This is my feeling anyway and how I live my life in Christ.

Well, my age range is 18-28, but I'm not looking to date at this point in my life. If I was, the range would probably be 21-25, closer to my age. Whether she was on the older or younger part of that range wouldn't matter that much to me.

I think if men are still single in their late 30s or above, they don't mind to be with women who are 15/20 years younger. For example, a 40 yo guy with 25 yo woman. But, if a guy is in his 20s, then 15/20 yo younger women would be a toddler and that guy would be considered as a pedophile lol
