lifeabundant View Profile History	Ive seen women post this question and I always think Posted : 10 Feb, 2009 09:44 AM well, if they want younger, then that's their right. But I wonder how many of those guys are really "great" guys and they just don't "honestly" realize that there is life after certain ages that seem too old for us? Maybe my own age range is out of wack. I think I have 45 - 62 or something. I don't want to put 18-99 because Lord knows I am not about to date someone young enough to be my son. Never had that in me. I don't care the age, I care first about the faith in the Lord, and then, do we have things in common? I admit my priority things, besides God first, are attention to fitness and nutrition. This doesn't mean I would not date or want to meet a guy that's overweight. Just would look to see if he wants to lose weight, eat right. Or maybe he is already into the fitness. So maybe not so much a question but would like feedback from guys "only", on the age thing? I know I won't sweat it because I know that if a guy wants younger than me, then he isn't who God has for me:) a sister in Christ, denise:) Post Reply
View Profile History	Ive seen women post this question and I always think Posted : 10 Feb, 2009 01:59 PM February 10, 2009 Hello Denise Michael here. I thought I would take a stab at your question and statement. Age: I believe that age plays a very important roll especially in the on-line dating scene. I believe that 5 yrs. younger and 5 yrs. older is the spread that we should all try to stay in. I personally look for a balanced person behind the profile and when I find someone playing in the too young category, I question their motives and their state of mind. We all want to stay young but by dating someone younger, it will never produce it�s desired affect. I�ve just turned 51 and still feel young, even with snow on the roof. But as the years go by, no matter how young we feel, the age thing will inevitably catch up with us and slowly change us. unless your Jack leLane.. lol If you just asked yourself, well who is that.. well that�s my point. I know that you know Denise but others don�t and can�t begin to relate. Having things in common and sharing songs, groups comedians like Flip Wilson, Lucile Ball, Bob Hope that we�ve grown up with, brings us closer together. On the other-hand someone much younger will almost always, feel out-of-the-loop and may display social anxiety when confronted with a conversation about the old days, let�s say when you have dinner with your older friends. The youngster will eventually want to isolate themselves and you and may even refuse to ever go out with �your� friends again. A simple slip of the tongue by a joking friend, may also spell disaster. Hope this helps anyone contemplating a five year or more age difference in a relationship. One final thought; I believe the little things we share in common are like pebbles. There not strong enough by themselves but when put together and by adding love (cement) it becomes a strong foundation for any relationship. Ps. I love your dog.. Post Reply

She laughed; after all, she was 90 years old and Abraham nearly 100! Yet God predicted that in one year, she would give birth. One year later, when Abraham was 100, Sarah�s son, Isaac, was born.� http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/biography/Sarah.html Is there a biblical recorded age difference for marriage. The only one I know of is the ages of Abraham and Sarah. If Abraham and Sarah were ten years apart and this is the only example mentioned in the bible, then I would tend think that the ten years difference is at least acceptable. I am not 100 years old yet. If I were to date a woman 10 years younger than me she would have to be 47. But that is not a hard and fast rule but more a general guideline. Joseph had to wait until Mary became �of age.� He must have been a little older. I would not rule out an older woman though. Today it is said women live longer so they should marry a younger man so as not to become a widow. I think within ten years is reasonable. And again age is only one part of compatibility and companionship. Post Reply
