I think I may have found those single women (3 Viewers)

I met a girl in her 20s, recently, who had a boyfriend in his late 40s. He contracted some kind of lymphoma, and she would refer to him quasi-affectionately as "cancer dad".

i bet she never he thought he'd die that quickly

Yeah, agree with most of what is said on this thread. Getting older is a good buzz, once you get over the mid-twenties crisis...

yeah, cuz there are no other crises after that one.

This is a real generalisation, but anyone else think it gets far easier to score (as a male) as you get older?

Aye, being comfortable in your own shell innit.

I had feck all luck till I hit the ripe old age of 22. And even then it was because, apparently, I looked about 30.

 

[Jill Hives]

I just htink people look more interesting when they look like they've lived a bit.

Agreed. Men are more attractive with age. I have only dated someone younger than me once. Normally they are older. I probably was more 'attractive' a few years ago but I sure as hell feel better about myself now than I did then...I suppose makes up for it. In short, the older men get the easier it is....generalized but true more often than not.

I love getting circled like a piece of meat. Happens every day at the 'coping with the menopause' help-group I've joined.

There were only 2 girls in my class in college ot of about 20 - one of whom was really really quiet and very very shy and was clearly taught to put on makeup by her widowed father who doubtless had some circus work in his past.

In my other class there was only 3 girls out of 15 - one who was nice but so prone to bouts of sickness and feinting it was like something out of Dickens, the others thought Clare jerseys were the height of sophistication.

Slim pickings all around.

Perhaps I should have done social studies or something instead of Physics and Accountancy - things could have been so different.

if they all had a hot flush at the same time you could be BBQd

 

[whathappen?]

some one of the thumped girls, i forget which one, said the other day that ould lads are hot without even trying. perhaps this has something to do with it.

i said that . and its true. Mcgyver,Lock,Sam Neill,Liam Neeson:heart:

I've been having the weirdest time of it for the last few years. It doesn't bother me but I find it very strange that all the guys who've shown interest, or asked me out, in the last couple of years have been younger than me - anything up to 6 years younger. Actually, now that I think about it I haven't had a boyfriend who's over 30 since I was 19.

Dating younger guys can be fun, especially if they don't mind the age difference. I guess age just isn't something I consider important.

 

[Mormon Nailer]

We talk less when we are older which is half the battle when you always say the wrong thing!

You dated someone over 30 when you were 19?

you've heard of the 50% rule right?

His emotional age was more like 14, so I guess he was proof that years on the planet are irrelevant. It was a pity really, he owned a pub, had a really nice car and 3 houses... sigh!

 

[whathappen?]

if you are going younger its divide your age by 2 and add 7....meh

Does that rule apply only to men or can women use it too?

I bet he had a ponytail

 

[whathappen?]

i think so.

i don't know who came up with it. its sound like something those wans out of sex and the city would say.

 

[Squiggle]

I bet he had a ponytail

No, he was also quite good-looking and usually pretty well dressed too.

 

[whathappen?]

I bet he had a ponytail

and leather trousers
