Age DOES Matter!!!


We always hear this phrase - age does not matter. I guess it's true for older men and younger women. But I believe when a woman is older than a man, that matters to many older men. They really prefer someone younger than them for different reasons. Some for bragging rights, others? Who knows? What do you think?

My suitors had always been younger than me ever since I can remember - I guess because I was a late bloomer and always have looked younger than my age. I dated (for a VERY short time) a man who is at least 8 years younger than me - but he did look older than me, so that was no problem! Now, I think at my age, it is very hard to find anyone in my age group because most of them are looking for younger women - even 20 years younger than them! Although I met -- and got to know very well -- one 45-year old man who didn't care if I was much older than him! I just felt he was a little too young for me!

Let's take for example this particular situation. A 79-year old gentleman looking for a companion/wife met a 70-year old lady. Before seeing her, that was just fine with him. But, the lady turned out to be not so healthy and fit-looking, although she is 9 years younger than the gentleman. The gentleman then chose to meet women in their 50's or 60's - still much younger than him.

I am beginning to think that us older ladies will never find any men in our age group. Should we then start looking in the 60's to 70's age group? Even 80's? Are we, older ladies - now confined to these older gentleman looking for ladies 10 to 20 years younger than them?

The trouble with that, at my age I have the built (or the body shape) of a 30ish/early 40s woman and the stamina of many women younger than me! So, where do I fit in? Where do women like me fit in - because I know many more in my age group who are very healthy, fit, and look great for our age!

That's really me in the picture taken a year ago -- just a snapshot, no retouch.

So, age does matter, doesn't it?

A healthy friendship changes and grows ‒ i.e. it is dynamic. How do we know if it is alive or not? It must be growing and changing constantly. A healthy friendship will encourage personal growth as well as allow both parties to explore safely with new ideas and experiences.

Yes, sis You are so right - and there are still older gentlemen who prefer the maturity (up there - brains) of older women, di ba?
