View Profile History	Cougars Posted : 28 Feb, 2011 02:22 AM Age does matter! After the honeymoon, if you make it that far, you�ll find that she (in her twenties) is in another world then you ( in your 40s or 50s ). But it can work! If the couple can realize that 1) it�s a myth that couples should do everything together, and 2) if they can connect on different levels, whether intellectually, emotionally, *cough*, career-wise, goal-wise, in and through similar styles of raising children, and open communication. One thing though, you can love a guy for different reasons�I could really see myself marrying Carl Rogers for his nonpossessive warmth or Dave Barry for his sense of humor!! Post Reply

View Profile History	Cougars Posted : 28 Feb, 2011 11:58 AM You know what, when I first signed up on here and was trying to figure out how to set my age range, I had it set to receive messages from people close to my age. I kept getting messages from members wanting to know what I had against older women. (Nothing at all) I adjusted it 10 years younger and 10 years older. Then I started getting messages from members calling me a dirty old man (hey-I'm ONLY 48!) Now my mail settings are set to any age. Most of my messages now are from much older members. (Nothing wrong with that, just saying...) So, (sorry to hijack your thread Chevy) I'm still wondering what's considered an appropriate mail setting on here as far as age? Post Reply
View Profile History	Cougars Posted : 28 Feb, 2011 12:58 PM Should age matter? Probably not -- but it does. A man and woman have to have common reference points/backgrounds in order to be happily compatible. Get too far away in the age difference, and you lose that. My opinion. Does it determine for you whether or not you'd date a person if they're too young or too old for ya? Yes. So what should men who like older women be called? There isn't a term/name that I am aware of. Which is pretty darn sexist, actually. But such is our society. My opinion again. I know men who like younger women are called dirty old men by most ladies! Yes, they are. And, in my experience, they are. Post Reply

View Profile History	Cougars Posted : 28 Feb, 2011 08:52 PM What if I was Mormon and married two 25 year olds, wouldn't that put them in my age range? Younger guys who like older women = "Cougarnip" Post Reply

Tulip89 View Profile History	Cougars Posted : 1 Mar, 2011 01:50 PM I think a it's foolish to date someone significantly older than you, but what's significant becomes broader with time and life stage. It would be weird for me to date a freshman in college as a senior, as people change so much in their first year or two of college, while I'll be working in the business world pretty soon. On the other hand, if I started dating a 26 year old about to finish grad school, we're going to be starting our careers at about the same time. Another thing to consider is the risk of birth defects in children as parents age. A 30 year old may like the maturity of a 50 year old man, but if she wants kids, they both have to consider that he'll not only likely be in his 70s when their second kid graduates high school, but also, it's more likely that their kids will be born with birth defects.
