You should be thankful an old fart like you can get someone at that age. If it doesn't work out, then at least you shoplifted the pooty for a while. Noone says you have to marry her. Just have a good time.
With her looking over your shoulder, you should have just put down a birth date. Personally, I always found a seasoned sled runs faster than a green one ....
I'm a 26-year-old female. I've dated guys within a couple years of my age. I'm bored with them quickly...they never seem to know what they want. I've NEVER dated younger than my age...I NEVER will. Personally, I find an older man is definitely the way to go. I'm not talking old old (although, if presented the opportunity to go after Rudy Tomjanovich or Pat Riley, I would not say no!). I've recently found that I am "clicking" with men in the 32-38 years-old range. They tend to be more stable (big turn-on), more aware of what they're looking for...not playing so many games (bigger turn-on) and they're more "mature" in mind and body (big, big turn-on). I want a guy who can form a sentence on his own and can respond to one of my sentences with something relevant. I don't know about the other girls here, but my biggest problem seems to be getting a guy to ask me out. Are guys today just that scared of women? I'm not a dog...I've got gorgeous hair, thin body, big boobs and I only like one thing: sports. I've found that most of my female co-workers are in the same boat as me...no one will ask them out, either! I go out to a club and end up meeting other women...because none of the guys will ask any of the women out, so all the women stand around talking about how men are scaredy cats. Are guys really that afraid of rejection? I'm one of those women who requires that the man asks her out first...if the man doesn't have enough self-confidence to ask, I don't even want to deal with the other issues that are swirling around there.... OK...sorry for my rant there...back to the original age range question! As a woman, older men are the way to go...about 6-12 years older, depending on the woman's age.
Age is just a number and not always an accurate gauge of maturity. If you gel with a woman, who cares if she's 18 or 50? I used to think that I would only be able to click with slightly older women (30s), but lo and behold I found one only a year older than me.
I think that the walk over may be the hardest move in all of dating, especially in a club, because the walk back after a rejection is just devestating. Keep in mind that if a guy finds a woman attractive and she does not reciprocate, it tends to be a pretty damn big blow to the ego no matter what his age. Being visually stimulated animals, guys tend to be pretty hard on themselves when it comes to rejection on physical grounds. This thread is very interesting because it confirms kinda what I thought and that is that women TEND to prefer older guys and guys TEND to prefer younger women for very understandable reasons. Interesting stuff. What was your preferable age range again?
Robert Townsend used to do a routine about this. I can't find it anywhere, but it was damn funny. It's the same routine where the girl gives him a 1-800 number. "Yo, ain't no b!tch got no 1-800 number!"
Man, I can not believe that guys still worry about rejection, what does it matter? What if she says YES??? Living life and taking risk is what it is all about. Jeff, I would be shocked if you had that problem, especially since you took the biggest risk of all and started your own business. Compared to that, asking a girl out is easy-peasy. DD
I get your point. I think it is sometimes easier to dismiss rejection in a business simply because it usually isn't personal - just business. Pretty easy to detach from that. I'm not really concerned. Just found the conversation in here interesting.
me too! dude, seriously, don't even think for a second about age. i mean, we're not talking jailbait here, but you should just be thinking about hanging out and having a good time, nothing else. well, maybe you should think about amfootball
he he he When I read her post at first, I thought about that line from Carrie Fisher in When Harry Met Sally. Sally asked her about Billy Crystal's new girlfriend and Fisher said, "Thin, pretty, big t***...your basic nightmare."
Hey, I just got b****ed out by two people this morning for stuff that wasn't even my fault and things they didn't even fully understand (the reason they were upset, IMO) and I'm still in here posting about dating! Obviously, I don't take it personally.
