my wonderful 2nd husband was 18 years YOUNGER than me. We were married 25 years and I'll never find that kind of endearing love again. But times change and I hope I can meet a decent man to converse with, enjoy companionship and more, lean on each other -- but I have to be patient. Just sayin, age isn't as important as people try to make it.
I looked younger and he looked older and no one ever questioned us.
If I could turn back time i would.....that said, surely there is a decent man out there to talk to, hold, travel and have fun with as well as the mundane things in life. Never let the age of someone hold you back.

I just want someone my own age, plus or minus a few.

I prefer to stay close to my own age too. A Few years older or younger but, I do happen to find someone that is more than a few years older I am still open to it but, a little more reserve on the matter. Who knows they could be the perfect person for me. I just leave in God's hands. He will do what right when its right.

I actually prefer older women. I've bent that rule in the past, but I've made it a requirement now. Of course, there is a reasonable limit as to how far the age difference may be.

If the difference is 5 years I don´t see any problem. It depends of how each other interactand about their personalities.

I bet it was your beauty that caused them.................

Typically, girls are brought up to be self centered at least in the US.

Usually, older women have come to realize that they are not the center of the universe and are much more enjoyable to be around.

If you have a poor attitude it doesn't matter where you go or who you meet. Your attitude makes for a self fulfilling prophecy.

Good for you! At last a gentleman that knows he is not perfect,and is realistic in his expectations.

a lot of young woman like older guys,they are classed as rinsers or looking for oil IE old ill and loaded

I can only speak about women's profiles I've seen that say something along the line of "age is only a number". Most of those profiles have age restrictions on them that usually range from 10-15 years younger to the same age or a couple years older.

I guess the "age is only a number" statement only refers to their age but not to the guys older than them!!

When I was around 20 in the military it was almost impossible to date an attractive, intelligent girl of similar age because it was the time of "Ban the Bomb" and all military persons were "Baby Killers". So I connected with older women. They were amazing, absolutely amazing.

Any more details would break the PG13 rule but as a 20 year old my brains were blown out (although I like to think I contributed in return). Seeing an elegant elder lady who has enough self-respect to keep herself in shape is still one of the greatest pleasures of my life.

Growing up, my Mom told us to "play with kids your own age".. and Mom was never wrong :)

You want to have something in common... "play" with " kids" your own age.

Big difference between chronological age and social (behavioral) age. Chronological age is a very poor predictor of compatibility and common interests especially in older adults.

I am older lady and have nothing in common with youger guys

I prefer Secure Romantic gentlemen. In my age range 2yrs older or younger.

I'm sorry but the reason younger women want older men is they are better to them my gf is 19 I am 50

Last sentence meaning,

Because Young women want Young men.

I don't know what anyone else wants unless they tell me. I know both what I want and don't want, what is acceptable and unacceptable.....but just because someone doesn't meet ALL my wants it doesn't necessarily mean they are unacceptable. However there are certain things that I won't accept. There are certain things about me some women won't accept as well....only because some women don't know what's good for them!!!!

I agree with you ma'am, every word
