I would like someone born on exactly the same month and year as me so we can have a may-may relationship. I think it could possibly work, though I do have misgivings. to be perfect it would be the same day, like twins.

Singer Don Mclean, 74 (sang "American Pie" and "Vincent - Starry Starry Night") and his 24 yr. old girlfriend..



(I'm not saying that I approve of this age difference. I wonder how his kids feel about it, if he has kids)
They probably think he's a paedo😬

This is a really interesting question! Probably the same age or up to 13 years older

This response will probably change over time though

I have had several men lie to me about their age so I dont really trust what people say anymore. To find out their real age I need to look at their passport or drivers licence or ask them some pointed questions about history. when they talk about what it was like growing up I get a clue if its way before my time. They expect me to understand and Im like I wasnt there, sorry.

Just because those particular several men lied to you about their ages, doesn’t necessarily mean that all the men that you will encounter in the future will lie to you about their ages.

Women , every women are good except Carrie Lam and Liu yifei!
Men, I only love Miles Kwok and Bannon! Wang qishan, Meng jianzhu... Even you are strong , rich ,etc. You're still tyrants !
Age is not a problem.
Hey Samson ! You dislike them,but they want to date with you. Your choice is not belongs to you! It's belongs to Carrie Lam. She is a so called Catholic, but she has a lot of boyfriends... You're disappeared, I will pray for you. Be safe, I take your will to move on. God bless you.

Probably no one older than ..... Hedy Lamarr. She's about 115 years old now. And dead.



But not a month older. I have my standards. And no one younger than Kaitlyn Dever

from Justified. She had absolutely no interest in me, but it wasn't because I was too old. It was because she doesn't know me. Soo - there's still a chance then.

My preference is for younger, but again, it depends on the individual. From what I've seen on dating sites, most of the older ladies who are single are within a year or two of retirement and looking toward freedom. I'm not there, and won't be for a while. I think it would be wiser to connect with a lady who is free enough for some adventures, but not expecting a lifestyle of leisure.
I know a lady at church who is in a her early 60s and I think her expectations are too high...she wants a real chivalrous man (opening car doors, paying for meals, etc.) who isn't too old (80s) or has serious health issues, and takes her to trips to Paris. She also has a high sex drive. She had a early divorce and has been single/celibate for decades, and is still searching for a dream man. She is a songwriter and doesn't have any money either. I had not thought it but you are right older women are looking for leisure. So, I can see why a man in his 50s may not ready to date a woman in her 60s.

So I thought I only liked older men but I guess I'm wrong? My brother was talking basketball the other day and showed me a video about the Mavericks. OMG I think I'm in love. His name is Luka Dončić. He's the most gorgeous guy I've ever seen! lol
He is ten years younger than me but eh who cares.

I know a similar thread has already been created, but I would love to hear some answers to my specific question.
For me, it depends on the person and their level of maturity both in Christ and in character. Given those two crucial things, there are other factors to consider such as health and activity level. I enjoy being active both for fun and for maintaining a healthy body and think a sedentary person would not be happy with me pestering him to go for walks, bike rides or to the gym together.

i've been entertaining the idea of changing our birthdays to the same day, and resetting our ages.
in that case it wouldn't matter what age gap there was because we would erase it.

His Goodness For the Purpose of What Two People He Planned on Being together hopefully it's not to much of a Age Gap

I grew up listening to men who all said men prefer younger women. So, I don't really trust younger men now because I believe they prefer younger women. In any case, I'm 33 and I would be fine with 30-40 range.
