Ladies, if you are open to dating now...or may be in the distant future, would you date someone in your own age group, say 5 years your junior or senior? Or would you want to be with a younger man, more than 5 years younger than yourself? Would any of you be interested in dating an older man?

Of course if you are attracted to a man, and interested in a relationship, then age likely doesn't matter. But generally, which way do you lean? I would want to be with someone who was in my own age group, no more than 5 years younger or older. I think I could relate to them better. What do you think? :hair:
 

Funny girl! Guess any of us would be happy to have someone around who lived to cook, clean and do yard work...but do ya gotta deprive him of his family jewels?? :badgirl: :magnify: :chores:
 

My late husband was 12 years younger than me and we were soul mates, the age didn't worry us and he took on my 2 daughters without a question and did a great job with them, their real Dad thanked him for bringing up his daughters so well.
I have been on my own for many years now and may as well be a Nun, i could think of nothing worse than having a man in my life :eek:mg:
 
A couple of weeks ago I caught the bus to my local supermarket and felt I was with an old folks club and I aint ready for that yet:D........so perhaps a younger man would suit me best because I can relate to younger people better than I can people of my age.:D
 
I have tried dating people younger as much as 8-12 years and older that much. I just don't seem to relate to them as well as someone around my age. My criteria for years has been you have to remember where you were when Kennedy was assassinated.

However, Di's eunuch sounds great except he would also have to give a great massage. Can I have both? :playful:

I'm sorry to hear about your loss, Jill, and what a wonderful man he was to take on the responsibility of your 2 daughters! You two were so fortunate to have each other.

Like you, I've been on my own too long to live with anyone and I don't want my life complicated...and dating/romance does that! It's a huge adjustment for someone else to share your life when you haven't been used to it.

Romance doesn't live here anymore either, Di, but I have a very high energy level for someone of my age. It would have to be a younger man if I were in that frame of mind.

If I were alone I would want a live in for heavy lifting ..Someone that knows his way around tools and could do things that living rurally requires. He would have to be younger, no smoking or nasty tobacco chewing, non-alcoholic, strong, clean about his hygiene and living habits, asexual so he wouldn't disappear days on end chasing women, love to work and be a good, relatively educated conversationalist. He must be okay with taking direction from a woman, my place, my way! He would also have to do dishes and windows. Oh yeah, must love horses and dogs.
:gettowork:


*Sigh* I guess if I were alone, I'd be alone a long time.:rolleyes:

I totally relate, Bee. Before I started this last job, I joined a Sr Citizen's Center and went several times. Your description of an old folks club sums it up. I didn't have one thing in common with them other than we were all over 55! My friend goes to one across town and it's altogether different -- just folks I have more in common with when I've visited w/her. Now, I don't have the time, but as for friends in my everyday life I seem to relate better to younger people.
