Well, the trouble is though, that although you may be right, I've found that 18/19/20 year old girls go for guys the same age, as 29 year olds are "too old". Yet 5 years later, they are looking for a 10 year age gap - hence 29 is, I think, an odd age to be single at, because you're neither the young party animal, nor the more mature gentleman!

Hey X, who you calling old! I'm 30 and never been more happy and raring to go, (I'm going to lie and say I'm 25 till I'm 40!) my other half is 34 and it seems to be pretty good. I was engaged to a toyboy, too imature! Dated guys 10 years older - boring! I think just a few years either side is fine.

I'm going to come up with a seemingly unusual statement:
It depends!!
It all comes down to the person. I've been out with 19 year olds that act like they are 30 and we've got on great, and I've been out with 30-somethings who've acted like they are 19 and its been a nightmare!! It all depends on the person you are dating. Age is (to a certain extent) irrelevant!!!
Thats just my opinion anyway!!

Well this is true and I'll agree with your statement, for instance I know of a 30 something guy that skateboards - yes you read correctly - skateboards to work, wears baggy board shorts with the crotch between his knees, backwards caps etc etc and acts like a 13 year old! And yet many women like this to begin with, but get pissed off with the 'inner child' - pfff, there's no hope for some people.

true cos men find the "inner child" in a woman cute and appealing but when it comes to us a man with "inner child" is just stupid ,shallow , and a turn off ....WE NEED REAL MEN

i strongly agree and can always withstand this empowerment of creative thought ....(C and C) love you guys! :D......

the rate at which a person(man ) can mature is directly proportional to the embarrasment he can tolerate.....

It's not a big issue to me, but if i was to be with a much older guy or a younger guy than me...then it becomes issues for people around me..."gossiping n stuff like that"

But what if the girl is 23 and the guy is 25...but he looks mature for his age (married with kids, people would assume) and the girl looks young for her age (college type of student)....i think if they both know how old they really r it shouldnt be no problem....but you know how people react to such things (make it into a big issue)

Chill chocco babe, I was only hinting that there was an element of bracket creep from my view with each approaching year. I've always tended to stick within 5 years +/- (mainly +). Still, as the saying goes - you're only as old as (who) you feel.

Hahahaha, and you're a Virgo too! Bizarre!

I'm a Libra, but so untypical, I must be on the cusp of something, too moody and firey to be a true Libra.

Everyone seems to be preoccupied with the physical aspects of the age difference... It's a fact that girls mature faster than boys (so THEY say!) so its not surprising that some girls are attracted to an older man as they have much more life experience and many women feel more in tune with a more mature attitude to many things in life.

There are times when it is good to regress and be childish, it keeps us young.
Some of us are 'growing old disgracefully' and undertake activities that are normally associated with a more 'youthful' audience...and can beat the crap out of the kids most times! There can be life in the old dogs!

Just get used to the fact that we like our lives the way they are...we are sort of set.

Yeah! It's not fair! I keep getting kicked off the climbing frame in Creek Park! They need to make the slides wider as well cos a spreading rear end can get jammed half way down! Embarrassing to get the park rangers to come and free you with a crowbar and a packet of butter!!! :shock:

You wanna borrow my space hopper??

Girlfiend, you're only 21, you can find anohter man. Dont worry, just dont look for anybody, if you dont look, you will eventually find someone new, maybe a bit younger, but someone who will be just as good as him or even better.But whatever you choose to do, it's meant to be. :)

I love the recent Letter to the Editor letters in 7 Days - two people have written in telling about how their husband and wife left them for someone significantly younger. I guess age does make a difference for people hitting middle-age. They want to trade in their old partner for a younger partner. Very sad. Can't people feel young together without having to find someone else younger to help make themselves feel younger?
