Mature Dating - Part 4: Leave Out The Age Talk

"I will believe in true love when I see a pretty woman in her 20's dating a man in his 80's who is broke!"
 

LOL, That Guy....could be. But, I think there are different kinds of love, too. If I'd known someone who was a lot older, but we had a lot in common, and were really friends, well, that could be a lasting love, too.

I think some of us would agree that attractiveness can get 'in the way', if other differences are pushed aside because of that....if that made sense.
 
I think the "system" is stacked against us by nature, because when you're young you are taken-in by appearances, whereas the more mature person is generally interested in personalities.

It's easier for the older person to overlook appearances than it is for the younger crowd, whereas personality doesn't seem to matter so much to the youngsters (witness the age-old "wrong guy" syndrome).

That's why I keep ending up with the wrong women . . . or why they keep ending up with me...

I've often been told - usually by ex-girlfriends - that ALL women are wrong for me, or conversely that I'M wrong for all women.

... they might have a point there ... that's why I'm considering taking up stamp collecting. :(
 
Beware those philatelists! They're a wild bunch . . .

Your advice about the age factor in dating is refreshing. There would be a lot more dating, fun, and cultural enrichment if physical intimacy wasn’t the goal and object of every date. The age obsession is about eliminating everyone who might not be an eligible sex partner.

However, I agree with the post that said if age is the object, then better to know it sooner than later. If the first words out of a man’s mouth are "how old are you?", women can always respond by saying "It doesn’t matter because you are not attractive to me intellectually and therefore we aren't going to date."
 
If a man asked me my age on a first date, we would not be having a second date.You can get an idea of someone's age when you look at, and talk to them anyway.It's more, do you find them interesting enough to go out with them isn't it? Presuming that looks wise they are average at least.The older we get, the less age matters anyway, just the character and personality.
 
:DAlthough I am in pretty good shape for my 80 years and am told that I look and act years younger I am also realistic and confine my dating to women in their 70's despite being hit on continually by 90 year olds.
 
Reminds me of when a women asked George Burns why he did not date women his own age and he replied "There aren't any!!"
