As for dating a man who was very much older, my dad is only 58 so put into context I just couldn't. 5 or 6 years either side of my age would be about right.


What does that make me? Age confuses me Surprised

I think the whole business of age, is even more difficult when you talk to people on the web, 'cos the more you talk/message people the THE AGE GETS LOST. I think this is partly due to not being able to see the person (unless you're using cam)so it's the conversations that you're judging on. Sometimes you can have many things in common with people of a different age group, older or younger.

Then you find that some older people are like big kids, whereas some of the younger ones may have wisdom beyond their years.

I think age matters more on the net then real life. In real life you dont really know peoples age when you first meet them, so take them on face value. On the net, people are discarded because of their age at the first instance, because age is there. It is one of the shallow confines.

Hmmm yes, that can be true as well, 'cos I know I'm eliminated on a lot of date site searches due to age....... no over 50s

Crying or Very sad

So have I Sue, but then I've met with a lot of contradiction on this matter.

Yes, me......... I'm contrary...... guess it's one of those issues that it depends on my most recent experience that colours the comment of the moment.

I am 5 years either side of you but you remain faceless for the moment.


I know.....the other ladies on here need a chance though!! Only joking... if decent conversation only stems from my looks that's perhaps a wee bit shallow...?? I am half decent though, allegedly.

That's what I thought, but hey. Need a picture, probably men do more then women.

Better off putting the best one up the first time.

Well just thought id post a reply to say about my situation, and i was 17 when i met my husband and theres a 21 year age gap, he was 38 when we first met. We got married when i was 19 and he was 40, we've been married for 10 years now and really happy - we never think aout the age gap - and to be honest nobody ever mentions it - he looks at least 10 years younger than he actually is and everybody says so. Were very happy - age DOES NOT matter

O and people will ask why im on a dating site if im happy - ive lived in the uk for years (and this is one of the only sites thats got a swedish forum (i am from there) and so ive met lots of people i chat too ok - so don't go on about that! Thanks - O and he does know!
