ORIGINAL: undergroundsea I think age influences preferred lifestyle and perspectives, and people relatively closer in age will have more in common. However, all that that a close age implies can be had--perhaps not as commonly as by people of similar age--with people who have a significant age difference. I think the amount of compatibility needed depends on the type of relationship sought. And I think compatibility rests on a number of factors that are gray and not black and white. For me, it is not so much that whether a person is in my desired age range or not, but how close is this person to my desired range. This factor provides a single point in the sum for compatibility. The further a person is from my desired age range, the greater the other points in the sum for compatibility must be to create significant interest. Cheers, Sea egads! You got a whole system going on there. lmaoo Ya know, when I think about the whole age thing further, I think it's more of a hang-up than anything else. (for myself that is). I prefer older (40s - 50s) stretching that maybe to someone as young as maybe 35 or so in a rare case. So I always rule out anyone under that age immediately But then I think that if I started getting to know someone and they didn't tell me their age, but they seemed wise, mature, and smart enough to know how to get under my skin, I think they would meet my standards on that level, even if I then found out he was like 32. But if I knew he was 32 from the start, I would never give this person the time of day, which could be the wrong decision, possibly.
