Dating People Younger Than You...

[Guest Game of Chance]

i say if your not wanting to get serious anyway and your only looking for is "A simple prop, to occupy my time (this one goes out to the one i love)" then it shouldnt really matter how old she was when you went to some concert. i guess i just see that as something that would maybe matter a little more if you were possibly looking for something long term. just have fun!

Word.

a plus side to dating younger people....

they aren't as tainted as people that have been through bad relationships....: Baggage

They are trainable

They will have thier looks longer,.....

full of vigor and energy....which is nice in bed

young people have a youing attitude that can rub off on you keeping the mind young....keeping the body young

BAD things:

Maturity levels, immature, childish....whiney, .... naive

but with time, that changes.

a certain degree of mutual expereince goes a long way.

yes - it is not age dependent, there are exceptions on both sides of the coin. By age 19 for example i had allready seen and experienced a great deal in comparison to my peers.

But to me - the types of expereinces that you digest by say...age 30 versus age 19 are worlds apart. To me thats just way too wide of a spread. The differenc in what I've learned by 30 verus 19 was immense. Same thing between ages 30 and 40, especially relationaly and in terms of leadership.

by the way Laura is 3 years older than I am.

We're talking about a potential 3 month fling, tops. Who knows, could lead to more...or less.

I'm not proposing.

More and more I'm thinking, why in the fuck am I asking this question?

I should do my Will, and she should hers.

If they happen to coincide, great. If not, so be it.

[Guest Game of Chance]

.a guy who's 10 to 20 or more years older (depending on the age of both parties) than his girl is a "creep." A woman who's significantly older than the man in the equation doesn't seem to get that stigma.

I'm not interested or concerned with western culture's morals and dogma. Fuck 'em.

You guys are getting married then??? WOW

[Guest Game of Chance]

lol...

[Gothmama25]

In my opinion I prefer to date younger guys. Younger guys are more fun sexually. Most guys my age (25) & up act too serious and need to lighten up.

[Guest Game of Chance]

heh...right on.

[BrassFusion]

All this talk about maturity... when I was 19, I dated the world's least mature 29-year-old. Ugh.

Maybe asking us for advice is one way to find out what your "Will" really is. You're not omnipotent. Just the fact that you tried to find justification through others should give you an insight to how you really feel. It's no sign of weakness.

[Guest Game of Chance]

No, see that's the thing. You (or anyone else) can't tell me what MY Will is.

Nor can I tell you yours...

I only I (not i) can discern that correct course of action. Will is that little voice in the back of your head, the driving force behind everything you do. In order to truly do my Will, its important to shut off all other voices except for that one (not exactly an easy task).

However, I do feel that it is important at times to get the opinions of others...if for no other reason than to make sure I'm not (completely) out of my mind.

Uh, yah. That's prooty mooch wut I said.

And I'm not sure what capitalization is supposed to accomplish other than making you feel a false sense of confidence in all your actions. Objectivity is key, and humility (in small doses) is key to objectivity.

i usually find that hearing others' thoughts on something will indirectly guide me to what it is i believe/want. kind of like when you can't decide what you want out of a vending machine, so you hit two buttons. inevitably,before you find out what you got, you'll find yourself saying, "oh, i hope i got [X]" (if only you'd know that earlier, fool!!)

My expieriences have been the opposite ...

Dude, i've never done that, that's awesome! Next time i'm hitting two buttons.

but yeah, i can kinda do the same thing. i make a fake decision to trick myself before i really make the real one, f'real. And then I reverse it more often than not. Cuz I'm a woman.

[Rayne]

No Phee ... that's us.

[JaneDead]

Nothing has happened, but we did talk about it a bit over a couple of bottles of wine last night.

We started talking about concerts and I brought up the NIN/Bowie show in '95. I'm telling her about it, and what a great show it was. She's like, "Wow. I was 8."

That made me second-guess whatever good feelings that I had about the night. I'll just play it by ear and see what happens.

And thankgoodness

Ya I don't have to choke a bitch

:devil In the past I have gone out with women,5-9 years younger than me.

My grand parents were 17 years apart in age difference.

So in my opinion I don't see anything wrong with it.

now 20-30 years younger,now thats not good.

Of course age always seems to be the judgment in any relationship.IMO

[Head Wreck]

mental maturity levels count.

must be mentaly old enough to get responibilities and know how to communicate, but not to old as to forget how to have fun or spend quality time.

And good work ethics(very important)

[Head Wreck]

woork ethics are relatives.

i had a distinction in university in business ethics for arguing for third world exploitation, even to the point where i genuinely convinced people i was right.

[Saephyr]

I moved in an 18 yr old kid just as soon as my 1st divorce was signed , I figured he lives 2 blocks away and HE wanted the seperation, so he could enjoy me having more fun than him.

I do think that older women for younger men are much better paired to be sure but if that person is on your level, does the same kinda fun you do, you are both enjoying each other anyway. So maybe get off on getting to know her for now and then if it needs to progress it most certainly will.
