This was once how the Nation of Islam advised men to consider mates. Not the best history there |

| 16:41 - glad you can tell SO MUCH about a person from one post. (then again, I can tell that you're a jerk from your one post, so hey.) |

| I'm currently battling a situation where the GUY I like is much younger than me. And every time I tell a friend or talk about him, they make fun of me, or try to make me feel like some sort of freak. |

| My cousin is married to a man 20 years older -- in his early 60's. She is early 40's. He is looking at retiring in a few years but she has to keep working. I am wondering if this will become a problem....He is home all day on a permanent vacation and she is working. Plus he wants to buy a retirement home in the south and spend a lot of time there while she would be up in the more northern city still working. |

A 30 year old woman and a 24 year old boy is a HUGE age difference. A 30 year old woman is prime marrying age. A 24 year old boy is just starting to sow his oats. Why do you like younger? If you want a real relationship, you'd be wise to look 2-5 years older. |

| What I find disgusting and gross is the men in DC who consistently date younger and younger DC women, as the newcomers arrive every year. I find these guys to be simply deadbeats. |

A 24-year old "boy"?? Would you say the same about a 24-year-old woman? Give me a break. |

I am 30 dating a 49 year old man. We both share the same career and have a lot of commonality i found most men my age to be incredibly immature and not very self directed. His wisdom, experience and intelligence are a major turn on and our "personal intimate life" could not be better. Age is nothing more than a number.
People might look at us and judge me as the trophy girlfriend but I can assure you its much much more than that. |

LOL 24 year old boy? Unless he's a stupid and graduated late he would've had plenty of time to sow his oats through college and after graduation. |

He joined the military at 18 so I'm sure he's had a GREAT time with the groupies overseas. I'm not dating him at this time, FYI. He's trying to work his way in as a friend, but it's pretty obvious he has a crush (others have pointed it out too). My preference is guys 27-34. I like men I could've been HS classmates with as we tend to have the most in common. Most of the good guys I know met and married women they met in their 20s. Up until recently, I've never been into guys younger than me. However, I've dated a few younger guys in my attempt to be more openminded and have been pleasantly surprised by the maturity and understanding of my situation as a mom. I definitely agree that 24 is probably too young and I'm not interested in flings. By the way, I'm also dating someone who is 8 years older, which is probably my max. |

If you're in it for the fun good for you. If you're looking for marriage I'd keep your options open. |

I think the older two people are, the less important age differences are. For instance, there is a huge difference between an 18 yr old and a 33 yr old, but not so much when they are 45 and 60..catch my drift?

I'm interested in marriage and most definitely keeping my options open.lol I wasn't interested at all in him, because I thought he was much younger initially (19-21). I pretend as if I don't know that he's interested for now. The only reason I'm a little curious is he's kinda hot.lol |

| I am 36 and "having fun" with a 24 year old. He is very mature and a fun guy, great in bed and we are just enjoying each others company. Most people think we are the same age, he says he always goes for older women and I am fine with it. Age is a number. End of story. |
