Author	Thread: Age
Admin	Age Posted : 22 Aug, 2009 08:30 PM I understand that age is a number, and that as one gets older, the distance in between age doesn't matter as much as people reach an "average" maturity so to speak. Yet I find it a common occurance among men for them to date nearly "any" age but still have an age range. And most of the profiles I stumble on, no matter what the man's age, is open to being with women who are 18 years old. I know that more men focus on the physical aspect of a woman, but what about the maturity of a woman? Or does this reflect on the lack of maturity of some men? On the other hand, there are a lot of young men who have a wide age bracket to where they will date someone 15 years older than them...and back down to the 18 year range. Like I said before, I understand that age is a number, but I still think that different age ranges have changes in other areas besides maturity. For example. What does a 40 something year old man have in common with an 18 year old woman? Yes, so long as one has the fundamentals, I understand....but still....???? I don't see a lot of maturity among that large of an age difference, and I also rarely see two people with that much of a difference ready for the same things in life. Post Reply
View Profile History	Age Posted : 22 Aug, 2009 11:39 PM well,I can only speak for myself on this one,In my expeirence I have found that people are Individuals,maturing and aging at different speeds,I am always told that I look younger than my age,A lot of women around my age,physically look older than me,genetics,health issues,I try to keep myself in Top shape,however,it took me a long time to mature,and I feel only now(In Christ)would I even be capable of being a decent marraige partner,I geuss I would judge each women(older than me or younger than me)On an individual basis!But I probably wouldnt date anyone who wasnt at least thirty or older just because it wouldnt feel right!The most important thing is that we match up well together In Christ Steven Post Reply
View Profile History	Age Posted : 23 Aug, 2009 06:25 PM As far as age is concerned I agree with Steven. After about ten years each direction it doesn't feel right. Older wise it would be like dating your dad. :( And younger wise, would feel like cradle robbing. In between is where the maturity aspect comes in to play. Post Reply
HeIsLove View Profile History	Age Posted : 31 Aug, 2009 07:40 PM I heard the average guy (second time around) marry's a gal 10 years younger than himself. Many guys feel an exhileration around a younger gal until the converstion reveals no match. I know I look for someone who can still be called a girl because she is youthful, enjoys doing and caring for herself inside and out. I workout daily plus bike ride etc. and I do it for the way I feel but know the woman in my life would appreciate it, as I would in her. It is unfortunate when people give up being all they can be and self control is not considered. If it is not there there will be weight problems, energy issues and sexual challenges which will not take over. Not youth but youthfulness, not 18 but exciting, not all muscile but in shape and wanting to stay that way. Of course this is all after the kindness, Christ centered life that I think most of us on this site wish to emulate with God's help. Blessings Post Reply
DAVWEY83 View Profile History	Age Posted : 1 Sep, 2009 04:09 PM I prefer the same age as me. I have friends who have dated (and married) younger, but for some reason I see anyone more then 4 years younger then me as more of a sibling. I would actually prefer if the site had age brackets, instead of direct age. Like I could say I am aged "20-26" or so. Why should age matter at all though? Everyone reaches mental maturity at different times. Post Reply
View Profile History	Age Posted : 14 Sep, 2009 03:05 PM I have met 21 year olds, whom go about situations as if they were 14. I have seen 17 year olds, handle situations as if they were 23. One thing I notice on here, I see somebody on here, but her age restrictions are set one above my age, or even 2 years. We are in general the same age (20s) but the idea is having a chance... I feel like many have the misconception that the younger guys, are less faithful, or whatever. Okay, yeah we may not be as 'mature' as you, but isn't the point to grow together? I would be with a younger gal, however I prefer older. But again, I have met older girls, whom handle things as if they were in middle school. Just saying, sometimes just because a guy is younger... doesn't necessarily mean he will not be dependable, loyal, or give you the love you desire and need. Post Reply
