Except for the part about economic "zones". I sense your earnestness there and stand behind you 100%.

My girlfriends were 5 to 6 years younger than me. Not all of them by the way...but that was the biggest age difference.

Although....now I'm finding girls in their early 20's seem to be attracted to me. I'm 36.

My wife is ten years older than me. Our ages never really had any effect on us. Every once in a while she will bring up some historical event and I will explaine that I was in first grade when it happened.

Maybe that look of interest you're seeing is really just you misinterpreting their fear and loathing?

So 33 isn't a problem then?

Now that is the definition of humour.

I've been asking general opinions on this and it varies. Most are fine with it but some people are saying the same as above, "what do they have to talk about" and if it's nothing then people assume it's just the sex.


So I've got my eye on this little 24 year old...

More or less, it less it depends on caliber of the individual that you are dealing with more less. Basically, you will attract what you project. If your only about ho hopping then, you'll only meet hoes.

Im in college right now (read- YOUNG), and though i may be attracted to college age dudes from time to time, the older guys-- 24-28 get me going even more. I've never seriously dealt with someone my age. Ever.
Not even that i prefer it that way, its just something that naturally happens. I just seem to get further romantically with the older guys.

Younger guys, and guys closer to my age, often end up in that irrevocable I SEE U AS A BROTHER/COUSIN section.


And we all know what that means.

No

Well this is something I see quite frequently here. I guess Thailand is whole other kettle of ferrets though.

Personally, I prefer the reverse, younger man/older woman.

Experience, experience, experience.

I look very young 4 my age. So alot of younger women come up 2 me trying 2 talk, asking 4 my number and name. I try 2 resist the temptation, I go along with it sometimes. Older women try 2 holla too, but that's not what this is about.

Hey it's all about the person right?

Age aint nothing but a number to me if there is a real bond between the couple. I think the biggest age difference in my past relationships was about 11 or 12 years. I was the younger but we got on like a house on fire. There were other complications but never about age.

i tend to be with men who are older than me with the biggest gap being 7 years. i understand it to a point.

but when there's a huge 16-20 year age difference I begin to wonder. When the older person starts to get..ahem..old, the younger person gets put in the role of caretaker. If I was 45 and I had some old 65-70 year old husband, I would resent having to slow down my life because he's in his golden years.

There's a 13 year age gap in my mother's relationship and she told me that it's fine in the begining but as your partner gets older and has less energy, there are fewer things you can do together and that can be hard. but does she regret being with an old biddy? nope. they have one of the best relationships I have ever seen.

My sister in-law is 35 and currently seeing a 50 year old guy. I went out with the wife to meet the guy and he has more energy and vitality than me. That's not saying much, I know, but still. I'm only 24. But I digress. That's a 15 year age gap but they're getting on very well so far.

I really think these are things every person should decide for himself. I don't feel the pressure to judge people on this aspect anyway.

I've had myself some experiences with older men. I've kissed a 47-y old drunkard, but that was only because I felt so sorry for him because he hadn't been kissed in twenty years. Just one kiss, after a bottle of champagne we shared next to the beautiful river that runs through this city.

When I was 18 I had a one-night-stand with someone who was 40 at that moment. It only happened one time, because we decided our little chats were better than the sexual experiences. I don't know if this had anything with the age, I remeber the thrill being very soon over.

Next to that, I've had a relationship with my professor. We have had a very intense contact for twelve months, that was also sexual for six months, until I met my recent boyfriend. This professor is twelve years older than me. At that moment, we knew it wouldn't last, but it was such a rich experience that I'm glad I've had it, although I'm also very glad that I'm out of it now. With him I was able to share some passions that I couldn't share with anyone else. Sex wasn't one of them, it rather felt like a silent witness to the other things we shared. I think the situation was rather balanced because it was so extreme. This may sound weird, but it is true. He showed me things, I helped him write his book. He knew so much about literature, but in a academic way. He had only been with two ladies in his whole life. I wrote poems which he improved by giving hints and I had been leading the wild life he never dared to choose for... He had a girlfriend, and a child, and I could go on trying to make things clear, look for excuses etc, but after all you're the one to decide if you judge me or not.

My boyfriend Francisco will be 31 in October, I will be 24. Emotionally speaking I feel a bit more mature on some aspects. On the other hand, he's Portuguese, has had so many personal experiences arriving here. He has studied in Belgium and has been working for several years now. I was still under my parents' wings when I met him. I've been living apart for 6 years or so, but financially my father has been supporting me until now, till I find a decent job (which I found right now, but it's probably only for a few months). Anyway, in this aspect my boyfriend is more mature and independent.

Phew, I've been talking a lot. Felt like I had to get it off my chest... What? Some parts of my life-story I guess.

If your going to eat an apple, do you pick one off the tree OR one that already fell on the ground?

My mummy always told me to get the apples on the ground when she was going to bake a cake. Now I do understand everything !!

Nero said:

I already told you that you are mature for your age, and also extremely intelligent. I see no problem.

Nero said:

I once dated a 10 year younger guy, I loved it, but he didn't take it seriously, so we split up after he took his other girlfriend to my apartment (guess he needed a mother more than a real relationship)

My mother is eleven years older than my stepdad. Workin' it.
