ORIGINAL: princessrn Greetings A/all After having a year out to heal after a broken heart i came back to the lifestyle to find friends , listen to things and if i can put some input in to some subjects i will im not looking .... but what i found from many mail i had was an underlineing question AGE and when i talked to some people it was stated many go for the younger sub ... is this so ? have i been out so long that its come down to age and not a good match ? do i put myself out to grass now ? LOL i think we each go through similar thoughts, especially when we find ourselves having to begin again. There are folks who depend on the numbers game as if it were their key to winning the lotto, and others just looking for someone to match their own mentality and commonalities/interests. Age is important to some, for many reasons, aside from the obvious, like what will others think, who will start looking older first, and to avoid those age old comments, like "hey is this your mother?" It happens. Remember that movie, i think it was called "How Stella Got Her Groove Back". Stella and her very young companion (20 years her junior) played by Tay Diggs(sp) was sitting at a tikki bar and the bartender asked Tay what his "mother" would be drinking. If a person is young, i mean truly young at heart, but also knows how to connect with their adult, then that type of person has an enrgy about them that can roll with the young folks and/or stroll with the older crowd. Your chances opf finding someone are just as good as anyone elses as far as a number. For all of us, the chances become slim pickens when looking for a partner that compliments us on more deeper and imtimate levels of beliefs, perceptions and attitude. While it is said that wisdom and maturity can often be found among those who have lived longer, this isn't necessarily true. i have met many guys 10 to 15 years my junior, that in spite of their age, i would have no problem submitting to, because they have never stopped learning and know how to aplly life's lessons. i look for those who are confident, secure with themselves, have gained some wisdom, and are not afraid to admit they have more to learn. Age is insignificant when put in this line of thinking. The only time i feel i would like someone closer to me in age, is when i wish to enjoy a long term or hopefully lifetime commitment and relationship. My reasoning for this is that i don't want either myself or my partner to grow away, as this sometimes may occur between couples with huge gaps in age. ~raiken
