The only problem I see with age gaps, is youll eventually run into the age difference in culture and generally talking about things. Like "Oh yea, I remember so and so, because of X reason, do you?" And your answer will be "Uh...who? Oh....yea I wasnt born yet"

As long as that isnt awkward I dont see a problem here. Enjoy. And Redheads......egats.....they might be soulless, but thats only because everything needs a weakness

That's embarrassing...

I was wondering who would take the bait on my witty choice of words. Day ended and she took off before I knew what happened. There was no double meaning other than fun word choice.

Exalted

I've no problem dating over me. The higher up the difference, the more at odds our life styles usually are though.

I outright refuse to date people younger than me. Looks are second to stability, intelligence, and maturity.

I concur that the older you both are, the less it matters.

Well, yeah. The older you become the less individual years matter with respect to your life experience. Seven is 33% of 21, but only 10% of 70.

Anyway, oldest I've gone relative to myself is 4 years. At this point I would be leery if anyone beyond 2 years in either direction.

I wouldnt go much younger then myself, specially 18-21. Good god it seems women in that age range are just fething moronic for some reason. I dont care hot attractive a chick is, if she cant grasp basic conversation, then I wont pay attention to her

When I was 35, I dated a 22 year old. Good times.

I don't have anything to add, I just like telling that story.

Girl I'm trying to figure things out with now is 19, I'm 27, and she's far more mature than I am. she started college classes while still in HS, graduated from college after her first official full year, doesn't drink (by choice, not by legality), and is ready to settle down. I've known her for a couple years now because she also used to work with my mom and a mutual friend. So yes, I'll try to work things out with her-but typically that young would be a bit eyebrow raising, but this one is special.

They are the gold standard for OT, without a doubt.

What ever happened to that scrawny dude that took the picture in the hot tub with the 3 ladies? Didn't he get banned for bragging about getting in a fight?


Shame. That young man was an entertainment gold mine!

He was fething brilliant him.. he told me he was "handy in a knife fight"

Like he has practiced?!

I think he got banned because he made a second account claiming to be a friend, who witnessed him beat people up or something ridiculous.

In related news, I watched "Salt" last night...

Its the worst thing I've ever had to watch, and I saw my grandad get dragged under a bus.

Meowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
It's okay as long as a woman is
1. White and being Kylie fan
2. Blonde and being sexy,
3. Also a fan of cats =^.^=
4. not being 'too old' please 30 or 40 is okay

I'm always a lil kitten for those 'girls' meow.

Actually, there was one TV series portraying the lives of 'cougar pack

Relationships are interesting. My friend asked out a girl, She canceled on him, Then 3 months later, in which they didnt talk, she broke up with him, before he even had his first date with her.
HE is the only guy who had a break up before his first date.

Hmmm, not sure if in that situation I would feel like a loser or that I'd avoided something really bad by the skin of my teeth.

I'll go with the latter.

My wife of 10 years in -15 to me. I was settled down with a good career, already owned a home and cars, very little debt. Looking to start a family (being pregnant and birth gets more problematic as women get older) while i was still middle aged. She was done and over with the bar scene (though we both like to go out once a month or so to blow off steam and have fun) and guys still living with mom playing X-Box and was also looking to start a family, realizing she needed a guy with stability, maturity, and a JOB. Someone who wasn't going to be a part-time baby-daddy, but a father.
Turns out we both had the same tastes in music and stuff and she is quite tollerant of my gaming hobby (cheaper and better than hanging out in strip clubs). Today we have 3 kids and still going strong. Or as I tell friends: the day she turned 25 was the happiest day of my life...I didn't feel like a child molester anymore. LOL
Anyways, age should not make a difference as long as your honest with yourselves about what it is your looking for and the intent of the relationship (a mutual 1 night stand, you want to be a boy-toy for a few months, friends with benefits, something more permanent and lifeling?)

I must admit I'd prefer someone my own age. Anyone older and I feel uncomfortable, younger and it gets creepy.

But then I am 16 so, yeah.

Anyway, who needs real girls? Rei is mai waifu. :p

Then read your sig:

Please don't make the mistake I made and mistake Kilkrazy for a girl. He is not.

Whoops.

Ah Manchu, always ready to leap to utterly embarrass me. What would I do without you?

Seriously though, the "who needs real girls" quip was a joke. People who aim to marry anime or videogame characters are very, very sad.

You are living the dream, my friend. My mom has a friend who's twelve years older than me, and I would be ecstatic if she was into me.

I'd say go for it, but be mysterious and dark and keep your distance, so she's not upset when you dump her for some younger girl with perkier breasts

Uncle Frank?

Luaghed so hard.....I have a Uncle Frank to

At work, one of the department managers bumped into me as we were leaving a conference room and I said "Don't touch me there, you're not my uncle!" Something I said 1,000,001 times in my gaming group. I guess it was just an auto-response if someone bumped into me.

There were some red faces at first, then everyone laughed. I've been watching my mouth a bit more since then, though!

Thats good, thats real good.

I've been away from Blighty for a long time, but isn't that Ian Beale from Eastenders?


Also, I just learned what 'waifu' means from the urban dictionary and I feel sad for the youth these days.

I just googled Waifu after MGS's post, and I just lost respect for a few posters on a forum for tiny toy men.

Really? Get laid, people.

In fact, go watch the Captain Kirk Saturday Night Live sketch "Get a life!" He's talking to you.
