My guy is 14 years older than me and he is the best thing that ever happened to me. If I worried about what people thought of the age difference I would have lost out on the most wonderful man!
Age is nothing but a number...happiness is what counts!

Age *shouldn't* matter to folks, but it seems to more often than not IMO....

I could care less about age....I am concerned about emotional and physical compatibility and if those are both there (and as long as both are of legal age), then so be it....I've found ladies 15-20 years older than me sexy/attractive....but most I find attractive are my age or a few years older. There *are* a few ladies younger than me who are attractive...I guess it's all a frame of mind.....

No, age doesn't matter :)

Unless he is 15 or something...that would be a bit odd.

Large difference in age ceates cultural and maturity issues.
Real love is more powerful than these.

i agree with JohnJohnR, however, recently, i heard a statistic that the most successful relationships are those in which the guy is about 2 years older than the girl.....

It would be a lot easier if we all had our age marked clearly on our foreheads, as it really is a factor that society really has a major hang-up about.

If an older man has a younger partner, it usually gets put down to money or 'father-figure'. If an older woman has a younger partner, it gets put down to 'toy-boy' or virility.

Love is ageless.

It all depends on how old the person is in their head, that is what matters.

I don't believe in age much. You are as old as you are. I think everyone ages differently in many different ways. If you dig each other, then you dig each other...

You are only as old as the man/woman you are with feels.

I am in a new relationship with someone who's four years younger than I am. I don't think age really matters after awhile. I think it all depends on the chemistry between the two people.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
