Age difference in relationships

Re: Age difference in relationships

So this is why guys hit on girls 15 years younger online?

Probably because they can't hit on girls 15 years younger in the real world. Once you get out of the realm of school and education, the real world for most careers/occupations is like prison with limited contact with the opposite sex .

I think that is too much age difference.

Age is just a number but it's an important number. Females are most attractive, vibrant and fertile when they are young. After 35, they start searching for the fountain of youth. Men on the other hand tend to look better with age (minus the male pattern baldness).

Like Artash already said, it would be a more normal world if people didn't "try" to hit on anyone and just work on their education, skills, hobbies and careers and let cupid do the rest.

We are hung up on generational commonalities and have forgotten that behind all the tech toys and "social networking" are people who share common emotions and feelings. It seems that dating today is based on shallow and narrow-minded views of society.

Finished work at 2:30am, started work at 7:21am today. Although I should probably address previous post first for cohesiveness sake this post appeared first so here goes ---
I said no one under 20. Meant this --- no teenagers --- what's left? Answer --- children and adults.
So let me clarify. I will not "date" children or teenagers. What's left? Answer --- adults.
If the writing isn't big enough you need to move closer to the wall.

Artashes maybe you got to go see a doctor
if you think a 63 year old man like yourself finds it normal to date a 20 year old which is still not an adult, legal age is (21)...then you have major issues.

If you can tell me why a 63 yr old man is any different than a 23 yr old man when a woman is just looking for a good time while strolling through her phases of a meaningless life then I've got a cookie for you.

Did you read the post you quoted? I used 20 to indicate no teenagers and by common sense inference no children. You put words in my mouth by saying by saying "I find it normal". You don't speak for me. You don't represent me. And it appears you are the one with major issues and you need to grow up.

Please define "relationship" so I may address your question appropriately .
Artashes

A bit more than just sex. More like long-term romantic connection, often resulting in or eventually pursuing a possibility of marriage.

Re: Age difference in relationships

I think(personal opinion) your reasoning is so flawed here(shallow) that you need to go have a serious talk with your parents and not be seeking advice from total strangers over the Internet.
Artashes

I'm not actually seeking advice here. More like testing the waters of what people think in different groups. Perhaps the tongue-in-cheek generalization was not as clear as in person would be, but people do have different motives...

I'll let you answer that one yourself, if you don't know what the difference is

Nice answers and the lack of rancor makes the exchange of thoughts pleasant.
The acceptable mores of these modern times is radically different than the ancient(but meritorious ) code of conduct for man/ woman relationship. These modern times seem very condensed as if every one is in a hurry. Initially romance was not the goal that was being sought. The simple meeting of a man and a woman had it own merit and was truly an interesting and desirable social activity. An old saying : men fall in love with their eyes and woman fall in love with their ears. Sorry have to go

Anyway to address your question --- usually the ages are relatively close. Any where in a 5 year radius is most common, but it's not set in stone. Commonly because of shared interest and experience with shared time frame of life experience. But shared interest can transcend that so one cannot use that as an absolute.
Like wise it is usually the shared interest of the age commonality that makes it most common for the ages to be relatively close. What's not appropriate is for men(most common) or women(not common) to pursue the younger(hit on) for their youth.
Any way that's my opinion.
