Age does matter. It tells how many rings you have around your waist.... LOL

there were lots of younger people who are more matured and serious about certain things like relationships. and some older people are backwards.. Age does matter for some legalities like a guy suppose to 18 before he can have a beer. but age doesn't matter if we are about to be corrected or even in relationships. only love would justify that..

It's a "pickup line" when it is directed at someone whose stated preferences are NOT the particular person saying that crap..
Meaning..if someone states they want someone under 30...or over 45 (or whatever)..and that's not *you*...and you throw that "age is just a number" at them, it's because you don't resepct their preferences and boundaries, and,think you are exception they'll make...whoa

Sorry but not sorry
I find that from experience that age does matter now to me. I find men in my age range +/- 5 years) in general have to many chronic health issues that limit their ability to physically be as active as me. I like outdoorsy stuff ( walking on the beach doesn't count in my book as outdoorsy) , I like working out at gym,weightlifting, hiking yea yeah I know a lot of older men will say they like that in their profiles but when you suggest going hiking they wimp out "let's go on a picnic instead, true"and i like hip hop music instead of Frankie Vallee that's what I like to listen to, now I'm not going to be at the club twerking but I like to listen to it , so younger by 10 years is what I prefer.

some women have told me they prefer dating older men because they get more respect,than younger guys.

I've gone 11 years older.
I've gone 3 years younger.

I too prefer close to my age..within 5-10 years is fine...and at this stage *10* is pushing it...

It's always humorous to me that these young guys not *only* lie about their age on their profiles (so their profiles show up when older women do a search)...but what the woman wants and prefers seems to not matter to them...

"This is what *I* want...if it isn't what you want..then you are closed-minded/ have walls/ need to be less rigid...." blah blah..

Telling me what YOU think I should want is *not* the way to get me interested in you.

Also, sonny....we women are *quite* capable of looking for the profiles of younger men...if that was what we were interested in..we don't need you lying about your age just so we "see" you..

My current GF is 11 year younger than I.
Thing is, I am going to be 58 this year.
At 47, she has already been thru menopause.
Plus, she can't get enough of me.
Age never even comes up...ever.

We're wiser, more resilient and more understanding.

With age comes wisdom, courage, humility, compassion, patience




Is that the reason that the divorce rate among 2nd marriages is higher than 1st marriages, and the divorce rate among 3rd marriages is even higher?

All that wisdom and understanding and patience?

Well, yes.
Because you are more sure of yourself, and there are some things you just won;t put up with/ overlook..like you would when you were much younger (meaning, you won't put up with stupid s**t)..

BUT...*I* would think if someone had had a lot of life experience and knew what they can and can't live with...they'd be a bit more careful in who they pick to be with in the first place.....:shrug:

Been finding out I can "Put Up With" more now than I could when I was younger as long as I remember that I and my expectations are not important to her being her and who she is.

So far, she has not demonstrated ANYTHING that is not within my tolerances.
Perhaps I am weak.
Maybe I have lost my morality.
Perhaps, just maybe, her being her is not an assault on me but merely just her being her?

Frankly, she accepts me being weird, why shouldn't I accept her being weird?
All in all, we seem to get along JUST FINE.
