I Think Age Is Only A Number

[big][center]Omg no!!! [/center][/big]

Age matters. Did any of you watch the Bachelor tonight? Bekah finally told us how old she is. 22. Yup, 22 years old.

And Arie (remember him?) is 36. Yup, 14 years older than her.

So when she revealed her age, he realized how silly it was and sent her home, right? Nope!!! He talked about how he sees the possibility of a real future with her!

What do you think? Is age just a number? Or does it matter?

Closer in age offers more in common I think ☺
plus enter the fact of aging ,may not such a big difference now but what about when she’s 36 and he’s 50 🤔
@Mysteriousliaisons I think there's a greater difference today at 22/36 than there will be at 36/50 ... but then I'm much closer to her at 22 and see 36 or 50 as centuries away from where I'm at today. Idk. I just think that him seeing "possibilities" is funny. He's thinking with the wrong part of his anatomy.

Lol. Not centuries...Decades please 😝
I don t watch such frivolous tv shows either .
Men always do ,it’s in the DNA . 😊. just for the purpose of keeping the human race going initially but it’s evolved
Are women so different though in that regards I wonder 🤔

@IAmJess I feel like adventurous people of all ages have a lot in common. Hiking, climbing, caves, camping, or even just walks in the outdoors.
@Mysteriousliaisons I don't know about all women, but those I know and talk to are as bewildered by this as I am.
@th3r0n Yeah, but we're not talking about those things. We're talking about romantic relationships and I just don't get the whole age-gap thing.

I guess it’s a very common topic in today’s world . I do have female friends of varying ages and we get along fine to chat banter etc 👍
Sometimes it’s challenging in relating to things .. older music .. the happenings of the decades .. you probably wouldn’t understand relating to life with out all the technology. Etc @IAmJess

@IAmJess well romance and sex aren’t that different at any age, that’s just a matter of experience, mentality, and physical condition, as well as intimacy between the two. It’s having things in common beyond just romance and sex that makes a real relationship.
@Mysteriousliaisons But we're not talking about friendly banter. We're talking about romantic relationships. People of all ages can be friends and talk about life in it's various stages. But its the age-gap romantic entanglements that bewilder me.
@th3r0n You forgot one thing... attraction.
Mysteriousliaisons · 56-60, M
Oh sorry ,well I’ve not much experience to relate to in that department lol So is there genuine attraction for older guys? AlwYs curious about that as you read a lot of it but always struck me as peeps just playing about. Etc @IAmJess
@Mysteriousliaisons I'm not aware of any girls my age who are genuinely attracted to older guys like this one who is 36. Sure, many 20-something girls do go looking for older guys, but I don't think it's about attraction.
Mysteriousliaisons · 56-60, M
What do you think in your mind is why they persue older ? @IAmJess
@Mysteriousliaisons Is that even a question? I think everyone knows why 20-something girls go after older men. There are exceptions I'm sure.
Mysteriousliaisons · 56-60, M
So it’s money 🤔. Lol @IAmJess
@Mysteriousliaisons Ya think? 🙄
Mysteriousliaisons · 56-60, M
Yup without a doubt lol But I supose there is always the exception to the rule @IAmJess
@Mysteriousliaisons Yup. There was that one gorgeous smokin' hot 26 year old girl who married that guy in the trailer park ... oh wait ... no, that didn't happen. But yeah, I'm sure there's an exception out there. As for me, I'll make my own way in life, thank you.
Mysteriousliaisons · 56-60, M
Haha ...You crack me up ...good sense of humor !@IAmJess
@Mysteriousliaisons But this whole topic cracks me up. Look ... if a guy was in good shape and worked out when he was in his 20s, then likely there were lots of girls in their 20s who were into him and were attracted to him. Makes sense and goes both ways.

But so many guys delude themselves into thinking there's this huge segment of the female 20 something (or younger) population that finds guys in their 40s and 50s and 60s attractive. I got news for all those guys... if you catch her looking at your butt, she's assessing the bulge of your wallet. 🙄

Preaching to the choir , oh I know lol. I find it interesting to read on here and wonder what the hell there up to pretending . Then again most of them are guys pretending to be girls to begin with ,so it’s chaos ... lol
Passes the day though when it’s to cold to ski 👍@IAmJess
@Mysteriousliaisons No such thing as too cold to ski. Just add a couple layers and some hand warmers. :)
Mysteriousliaisons · 56-60, M
Frostbite . Not so bad skiing but long rides up on the open lifts are brutal @IAmJess
Mysteriousliaisons · 56-60, M
Minus 30 Celsius is cold and factor in windchill 🌬
@Mysteriousliaisons -30°c??? Where are you?
