A colleague and I were having an interesting discussion and she thinks that men that are too young might have "stamina" but no real life experience or otherwise. I don't really care as long as they aren't that much younger than me by a few years is OK, but I wouldn't want a 21 year old at this stage of the game.

She prefers them her age or older. Other women are different, but does it matter or is that dependent on how large the age difference and the purpose of the relationship? A casual affair vs. a long term such as marriage?

Does age difference really matter between older women and younger men or is that only when the older woman DOESN'T look older and once she show her age, she gets the boot?

Ladies, what you think? Especially those over 30, since once that mark is hit, many places in the world will consider you 'old'. The "Older woman" nom de plume is a crack up. Too many negative connotations still.

I get that a lot since no one believes I'll be 30 next year and I hear complaints from other women that are barely 27-28 and they're complaining Oh, "I'm getting sooo old." I just want to smack them sometimes!

Opinions??

Aging is natural and it doesn't bother me.

As far as men go, I don't care what his age is as long as he knows what he wants. I am self sufficient myself so I don't need a man to be self-sufficient when I meet him. As long as he is working to become something and won't mooch off me for the rest of his life, I am alright with waiting while in a relationship with him while he studies to get through school/training or whatever. It wouldn't be the first time I made more money than the man I was with. I am more concerned with his self growth than what material things he could offer me.

Yes, it's stupid to hear women in their mid 20s already saying they are old.. lol

getting old is earned.. sometimes, i want to feel my age, and get away with what i feel the older generation gets away with.. unfortunatly, i look to be in my mid 20's so other then some body parts catching up to my age.. i really don't get a say IN what society thinks.. which is sad.

In the past 2yrs, i have met alot of people.. some older, and some younger ALOT younger.. by 10yrs, at first i felt a little weirded out by the situation because of the age gap.. and sometimes, because i look so young, i got depressed about the "hand" delt to me.. eventually i started to think, HOW.. i was born was no fault of my own, and aging is a learning process, and if i didnt take something from my years earned then.. what sets me appart from those younger then i? i really didn't have much of an answer for those younger guys i kept meeting, BUT.. i knew, what they had to offer wasnt what i needed.. so my search continued.. ALSO, since i was married i wasn't really looking for anyone.. and i was set in my ways, and "OKAY" with feeling like a single mom.. but, i deserved more.. and hopefully, i found more.

i know my opinion sucks.. but thats all i got lol.

I don't mind getting older personally. It happens and I accept it. I am just concerned about my health more than anything.

Right now, mid-twenties, I feel I can't date a guy younger than me. That would feel too weird, like I am dating a kid. Once I reach my thirties I feel I can date a guy as young as 25. I feel as an older woman I will have more options.

Now dating someone older, I feel as long as I don't date someone older than my sister his age is free game. My sister is 12 years older than me. Don't get me wrong, now that I am in my mid-twenties I am still trying to get past the fact that I can date someone in their thirties. I guess being able to do so signifies crossing over to being something more than a young adult or something.

Overall there has to be an age limit for both older and younger men I will date. Generation gaps disturb me and I kind of think they are disgusting, though I say go for yours for women that date guys so much younger (only because men have been doing it for so many decades so anytime when women gets their back I sort of turn a blind eye-not totally but somewhat). I will say people with the huge age gaps should get a hold of themselves and really think about whether this is ok. If it is love then don't worry about others but...grandma/pa with grandchild really is too much for me to see.
