ORIGINAL: slimsub Why am I judged because I arrived on this planet at a particular point in time? My looks, attitude, health, etc are much younger but I am judged because of a number. We have all met people who are much older in everything than their chronological age. Should I just get realistic and just give it up? Any thoughts would be appreciated. And size doesn't matter either, right? <kidding> [:D] Don't give up, slimsub. There's hope for all of us! I too am judged as being an "older" woman, at 47. I surely don't feel 47, and most people have offered that I look younger than my years. I feel younger...than what I thought 47 would feel like. I too do not lie about my age, but have offered "mid-forties" as my range. I have found many men lying about their age, but only noticed that more recently. I will only speak from personal experience, and let you know that every single man that I've met (for a possible personal relationship), that was older than me (from 2 years to 15) has been too old to keep up with me. I found almost all of them to be older than their years, either from living a hard life, or not taking care of themselves. Again...not saying it's the norm...but it's my experience. Now when it comes to public/party/club scenes, I have enjoyed a variety of men, in scene. I have enjoyed a young man of 22, up to a man in his eighties. All were great fun to play with, but none were relationship types. Age IS a number, and I'll agree with that for sure. I have also felt ageism in work and play but, I have to go along with Cher, when she was asked why she didn't date older men, she responded, "I'd rather be a babysitter, than a nurse." [;)] K PS Although, I have to say I have been acused of being...well many things,[:D]...but younger men (those under 30) have gotten angry with me, when I've said that I wouldn't entertain the idea of dating them. Can't fathom seeing someone that's young enough to be my son. PPS Welcome to the Message Boards, slim!
