    My wife won't let me see anyone under 23. She's so closed-minded.

    nope, dead serious. I think the fact that I do have a really good and interesting career for my age increases my dating marketability and I provide pretty good conversation. I am not about to pick up a bill for dinner unless the guy has already proven that he is worthy. I'm not stupid I know what I can get partner wise if I was very interested in finding one.

    WTF?
    The above reads as though it's a biz venture/ proposition (which is prolly unlawful).


    I suppose you already Know the Federal Truth in Advertising Act requires you notify all interested parties within twentyfour (24) hours of the initial contact, via certified mail, that your primary intent is not Love.

    In addition said parties shall be notified (as specified above) of the likelyhood of being taken for a ride.


    Equally dead serious.
    Yeah this struck a nerve that's still raw...

    lol A, you don't know me. I am the most loving, entertaining, fun, sexually pleasing girl once a man puts in the effort to have me. No effort =no me. Not a buisness contract just an insurance policy, a way to make sure he is going to be there for the long run and that I am not going to get hurt or used.

    Well, I'm extremely happy to see people like Lynsey and Barefoot Beautiful expressing their views.

    Though I can understand how some of the males here feel ultra-sensitive.

    I still find it funny how many are quick to jump the gun with words like "gold-digger", "dirty old man", "pimp". They DO exist. But generally... what crock.

    It's True I only Know what you post.
    This last post sure reads different than the previous one in this thread
    as well as many of your previous posts.

    If the last post is a clearer reflection of you it'd be Nice
    if we could read more like it... *s*

    Capisce?

    Capisce and yeah that's pretty much me I am actually pretty nice I am just really defensive, but those of us who are defensive and hard to break into are usually the best one's once we are broken (meaning obtained unconditional love and no longer have a need for a guard).

    dating someone finaciely independent realy does make sense, and not just for the money, but for the fact it says alot about him as a man to have reached that point

    I see financial independance as a sign of maturity, too, not a ticket to expensive dinners etc and I think Lynsey and others are thinking the same. As for words like dirty old man, gold-digger etc, it's a shame those stereotypes are around, but I say not to let other people's judgments rule our lives 'cause we all knoow otherwise; that we're decent people.

    What if Folks' posts clearly conveyed their Thoughts?
    aka 'say what ya mean'

    It would be a benefit to those, such as myself,
    whose Clairvoyance is purposely in the off mode.

    age gaps are so overrated. if you like someone and its legal, then go for it.

    fuck age gaps. thats like saying a girl wwith brown hair cant date a guy with bushy eyebrows. its just DOESNT make sense.

    the financial independence thing is reasonable,although it can be discussed alot.

    so,women don't like younger men for their lack of maturity.
    question:whan maturity can a man find in a 10 years younger woman?10 years is a big difference,and the "women mature faster" argument doesn't count,wether it's true or not.so if her level of maturity/mental qualities are irrelevant,does that mean that the guy is interested just in her body?
    can it be a true relationship when the man is viewing the girl like a child/inexperienced youth?or is it just dignified/masked exploitation?

    just making conversation.

    personally,i realise there are mental differences between men and women,each have their weak points,but i can't have a serious relationship with a woman that i can't respect for her brain.

    I was with my last LTR GF for 6 years, and we came upon a lot of age difference problems (when we met she was 23 and I was 31); she was young, wanted to go out and party all the time, not think about the future, etc, I was trying to save money to buy a house, already had a child from a previous relationship etc. despite the issues we had a long good time together, nut I deffinetely want some one at the same place in life as me, which counts for more than age, I know alot of people my age who still aren't at where I am at.

    there is truth in that, but i have to point out that 10 years is alot bigger difference when your 19 than when your 29.
    but age should be a minor consideration, a similer set of ethics is also very important, and then theres chemistry,, etc..

    I am a pretty mature 19-year-old (okay, I do immature things, but mostly I am pretty mature -- grew up with all adults and few other kids, have been pretty much on my own for three years, etc.) ... and I would see no problem in dating my friend who is 37.

    (I was actually born on his eighteenth birthday ... but we are on the same level spiritually and emotionally. In a lot of ways he is a twentysomething, but has weathered a lot of trauma and gained a lot of insight that most twentysomethings don't have.)

    The only problems are that 1.) he is a professional musician who is touring all the time ... 2.) he currently has a girlfriend ... and 3.) he has known my family for some time, and would probably never see me as relationship material. But as soon as he's single ... I might give it a try, who knows? [​IMG]

    [​IMG]
    Here he is ... bonus points if you know who this is. ;)
