what do you all think about my relationship age...I'm 32 and he is 47. I'm worried about the gap and my not being compassionate enough to his aches and pains.

he has aches and pains at age 47?


I know people less than half my age that have more aches and pains than I.
Actually, I had a lot more aches and pains12 -13years ago (bad back injury, in February of 95, that took months to heal) than I do now at age 47. That's one thing to rememberabout being compassionate today: It could be you who needs it tomorrow.

I honestly think that an older man and a younger woman can learn from each other. And I'm not talking just the sex part.


I've met (&know) younger women who are computer smarter than I am. They're alsonot as possessive when it comes having to choose between some of my hobbies or interests...or keeping them entertained 24-7!


If I ever find my heart's desire again (who won't be jealous of my che-beagle/jack russell terrier puppy), I would hope the lady would be willing to accept me for who I am...my flaws as well as my skills!

I did something horrible, I've started dating a man who is 51 (i'm 43 in a couple days). Silly me left my msn on after planning to meet with a co-worker who'd been laid off. I'd referred to him as the old man i was seeing. My "old man" read the email (snooping but then I'd not logged off) and was hurt. I don't want to hurt this man. He's actually everything I want in a man. How can I apologize without grovelling?

yes he has aches and pains....he's had neck surgery, goes to the chiro, and has had a hernia operation. He's a typically guy that has abused his body playing and working.

I read that good health is a temporary status. If you have it, enjoy it while it lasts. I count my blessings I do not have aches and pains at 63.

Is he told old for her? Is she too young for him?I guess people have to obsess about something. When I turned 50, I started running triathlons. Two months after I turned 55, I'm still turning the heads of young women and I don'tforsee any change to that in the near future. Most guys my age are couch potatoes; I'm rock climbing, learningthe piano, and cycling the pants off the 20- and 30-yr-olds who can't keep up.If I didn't disclose my age, the younger women I go out with wouldn't have a clue.I'd date a woman my age if I could find one who could keep up.
