Unbeleavable, you know I love you my comod but sometimes I have no idea what you're trying to say. :D I think you're missing some words there.

I always prefer older men (five years older at least, 16 years older at the most), but my second (and hopefully the last one) husband is only 25 (I'm 24).
He is so mature for his age, literally; he physically looks like he is 35, he has the mentality of a 45 yr. old, and the physical problems of a 55 yr old, but his dick works as if he was only 15.
So age is just a number. My first husband was six years older than me, but his mental age was 12!
I think you can have a great relationship with someone older, but I personally wouldn't do it.
My grandmother married a man 25 years older than her, and they had this epic love story.
Until he died when my grandmother was 42.
She loved him desperately, and never regretted her time with him, but she was a widow way before she should have been because she chose to marry a much older man.
That's always been my cautionary tale whenever I've considered dating someone significantly older. I don't want to deal with my partner's passing until we're both old and grey.
There is your actual age and there is your biological age. You could be in your 20's but with a biological age of 40's. You could be in your 40's but with a biological age of 20's. So for me, the answer to this question is that it should depend on your biological age. If your biological age is much younger than your actual age, I don't see why you can't date someone much younger.
I found this website that gives you a ballpark figure for your biological age based on your habits: http://www.biological-age.com/
Interesting it said my biological age is 21 so I will pursue men in their 20's.
Wow! That's amazing. Mine is 27. I need to eat more fruits and vegetables.
Mine was 20!
im 15 again yaaaaaaaaaay!! oh wait 15 really sucked nvm
Mine said it would have been lower if I wasn't so stressed.
kelly how often do u go to the gym? I swear I handle stress way better after at least a half hour run, things dont bug me the same way
o.O That biological age this is badass. Though I wish there was an occasional option for the smoking part, lol.
Also, I read it somewhere before. It is possible to reverse your biological age. It's pretty simple. Exercise, eat well, no drugs, alcohol and smoking and lead a stress-free life. I am forty. I want to get my biological age down to where Kelly is.
Except for the stress (which I deal with a lot by doing yoga)I do all of the above: non smoking, rarely drink, exercise, eat healthy (love veggies). This along with genetics is why I pass considerably younger. Why people even think I am a college student still. In addition I keep up with the lastest technologies and this keeps my mind active, which has been shown to help. This is partly why I seek out men like me because I couldn't handle an "old" 41 year old guy who sits around eating junk.
I lost my gym membership due to finances so I try to work out 5 times a week at home for about an hour. I have gotten lazy this winter and am not happy about this. Once I renew it in the spring I tend to go at least 5-6 times and workout for about 1 1/2 hours. Sometimes I use the treadmill and other times I swim or take classes in aerobics or yoga. Yoga is the best way to handle stress but all of it helps me. I do strength training but can't overdue that because I get very bulky as I have a very muscular build.
^Aww! Lol
I have read about the actual science and it is fascinating. For instance those women who are a younger 40something have higher rates of fertility than "older" 40something. They also have lower disease rates as well. I have several friends my age and I have noticed those who have kids tend to look much older. I don't know if it's stress, genetics, or just more experience but it fascinates me how someone my age can look 20 years older than I do. For instance my mom is 64 and has zero wrinkles. Yes zero and neither does my dad, not even wrinkles around the eyes or forehead. Her skin is really smooth and she still looks amazing. However many of her friends look all wrinkly and old. My family down the line all look younger than their age, and oddly there is a strong family trait of having later in life babies (including my great grandmother who was almost 50 when her last was born in the 40's). Plus, most of my family member aren't obese (my mom is tiny)and I have noticed fatter people look older.
All coincidence? who knows but it's interesting.
^Do you come from a family of late-bloomers, by any chance? Unfortunately, I take after my father's side of premature agers...but my mother's side of the family are all like you've described. They live forever and don't seem to age (my mother is 60 and has no wrinkles and black hair still, lol) and they stay fertile for a very long time (having kids in late 40's is normal). Her family (native american, btw) have always attributed their lasting youth to the fact that they are all late bloomers, with the typical girl starting menses at late 14-16 and obviously not filling out until later either. I've always wondered if there is any corespondence?
Yes most of them are late bloomers. Many have changed course with their lives as well. I have seen three of my great grandparents live to an old age and have a great aunt who will be 100 in July and outside of walking issues is very alert. I have heard Native American tend to be like that and I've long suspected I am part NA (have several traits)so I'm wondering if this plays a part as well.
I am sure it's both genetics and lifestyle. For me, I got my "young" genes from my dad. I was also born with fair and smooth skins. I used to think it's a curse growing up. Now, I think it's truly a blessing. It's keeping me looking young. However, when I was in my marriage from hell, I did gain a lot of weight and looked much older than I am now. So, I am convinced that living a health lifestyle is just as important.
Stress is the biggest factor on aging. I know when I am stressfree and taking care of myself I feel better and I look better.
Looks like I'm the oldest. :'(
Is it still a woman's perogative to change her mind? If so, all these "dealbreakers" are not necessarily so.
Reminds me of my brother, saying he'd never date a smoker until he did.
You never know what you might want or be willing to settle for eventually. It's wise to keep an open mind.
