Age Difference

I find the debate about age differences to be interesting and somewhat entertaining. It's amazing how many people; especially men get upset over a woman not wanting to date them if they don't fall within their age limit. I see men who say I'm 55 but look and feel like I'm 30. Good for you. We applaud you!!!!! But that doesn't mean that your body is running like a 30 year old. Yes I realize that most people feel the age limit is petty and unfair. But there's a couple of things most of you might not be taking into consideration. Not only does age difference cause an issue with having things in common but it can also cause physical limitations. Maybe not in the beginning but further down the road ... Example of not having things in common... Most of the older men that contact me are close to being retired... they want to travel and explore the world. GREAT... I have a 12 year old to raise and a job to work. I just can't pack up my house and leave... it's not something I can do right now. And believe it or not some men have actually gotten upset by this... Seriously... why are you surprised by this kind of answer coming from someone in their 30's? My profile doesn't state I won the lottery and sit around watching Soap Operas and eating Bon Bons all day! Example of age difference... One of my best friends is in her mid 40's her husband is in his 70's he had a heart attack about 5 years ago and since that time has not been able to be intimate with his wife. Now... he still looks great for his age. Very nice looking man... very kind and caring but this doesn't help in the intimate department... does it? Getting older is a fact of life... body parts stop working... it's a fact of life... but for those of us still in our 30's we would like to enjoy what years we have left with someone near our age so then maybe the body parts will stop working at the same time and a loss of intimacy might not be that big of a loss... Just a suggestion to those who get offended by being turned down because of the age difference... read profiles more closely and respect the persons decision of age limits, etc. those things are there for a reason... But please don't take them as a personal attack on you. Now with that being said... let me wish you all a Fantastic Tuesday and close with the Joke of the Day! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Worlds Shortest Fairy Tale Once upon a time, a girl asked a guy, "Will you marry me?" The guy said "No"! The girl lived happily ever after. She went shopping, drank martinis, always had a clean house, never had to cook, stayed skinny, and was never farted on.The End.
