Age differences

[TitsMcGee]

There is an 8 year age difference between Charlie and I. I have no issues with it, and neither does he because we are on the same maturity level.

[d:konstruct]

My wife is 10 years younger than I. As long as I obey her everything is good:)

The young ones are good for teaching.. Not relationships.

I don't think anyone should get serious until they are well into their 20's.. Like mid-20's.

You just really don't know what you want at a young age.. You young-ins can disagree all you want, but I'm right, and you will learn that soon enough

Someone in their 30's and so on trying to get into a relationship with someone who is around 18 probably has some control issues

Young people are often very naive, and fall in love easily.. It is not cool for an older adult to take advantage of this... Even if they seem like they know "what's up", they most likely do not.

Now, don't get Me wrong.. I flirt like hell with the younger ladies.. I love so much about them.. Their tiny-ness, their cuteness, their malleable minds. Yet I stay away from traditional relationships with them.

I have to agree with you on that one. When I was 19 I started seriously dating someone 8 years older than I was. I wasted 6 1/2 years with him, and now I feel like I missed out on a lot in my youth. If I could go back in time and kick my own *ss I would.

You're never too old to be young. :-)

Psssht, speak for yourself, I'm 24 and already feel and am treated like I'm way the hell past my prime.

Just wait until people start calling you Ma'am! I cringe every single time I hear it.

...not only am I getting used to being, "Sir"...I LIKE IT

[StormKnight (1)]

Took me forever to get used to being called, "Sir." When I got my commission from being enlisted, it was the hardest thing to get used to.

@ the downtown Lodge, I had OLD LADIES saying, "Thank you, Sir." & had to just be cool...I was like, "No worries, Ladies..."...new levels of civility & pomp...

The world could use a bit more of that.

Oh trust me, I'm an old bag; I've been getting "ma'am" since I was 15. Apparantly I either look really old or really mature and respectable, and with the stuff I wear I'm sure it's not the first one.

At least your hair didn't start going white at 16 years old, like mine did ><

I am a warrior, on a mission.

...maybe, I'll bag me a g-milf along the way

I'm glad my predicament is so amusing to my friends.

I can't help but laugh at it myself.

Let me repeat myself: I love you, Marc!

I've been called sir maybe three times. Just about everyone I meet thinks I'm 10-15 years younger than I am and I get carded often.

Was even denied entrance into MGM casino a few years ago until I showed my i.d. - the security guy said "damn, you don't look anywhere near that age son."

24 is only one year past your last prime. You're next one won't be until 29 so you have 5 more years until you're prime again.

I likes this theory...I will adopt, & propagate it.

Hmm... I like this. I'm not an old bag, I'm in my prime. Nice.

[TygerLili]

What would you people rather be called than sir or ma'am?

Personally, I much prefer to be called ma'am, it's polite. Being called "Miss" irritates me. I am over 18, I'm not a "Miss" anymore. It often seems a little condescending. And heaven forbid someone calls me "Lady" (as in "Hey, lady," "My lady," is acceptable, but rarely ever used outside of Ren Faire).

Age can be just a number. What matters most is if you respect the person and the attraction is not based soley on age. There is someone I have feelings for who is quite a bit younger than me. My attraction is not based on her age. It's based on who she is on the inside. The funny, witty, sometimes silly, sometimes serious fun person that she is. She helped me find out things about myself I liked in music, anime and such. There is a common interests between us. I didn't plan on developing feelings for her. It just happenned. But when hearing someones voice or seeing their smile can make a bad day good and make you feel all warm inside. What's wrong with it? I respect her, care about her, would do anything for her to make her happy. So long as both people are legal and upfront about things, have respect for each other, it shouldn't matter.

I totally agree with this statement.... For the most part age IS just a number & what really matters is how the people feel about each other & that those feelings are real & not just superficial.

I will take "Miss" over "Ma'am" any day. My mother is a Ma'am, not me.

In customer service... If you don't guess your miss or ma'am correctly- you'll get bitched at. I've had it happen a few times.

I think I tend to go the Cougar route. When I was 20, I had a couple of dates with my 40 year old supervisor who was hot. We didn't get intimate but I think the possibility was there, but I was too shy to tackle it. I would say that these days I seem to go for those in their 40s. Not sure if its real or just a temporary dating preference.
