My dad had a conversation ask me if I plan to stay single forever. My response was that guys just aren't into me any more. My dad claims that I am putting a lot more focus on numbers rather in personality that I should just forget about a guy being born in 1992 and I should just give a other men a chance. According to my dad claims God probably had put a good husband for me but that I am refusing because of numbers. I told my dad that mostly 30 year olds are married and the ones that are single are looking for much younger. Well my dad age 57 has his own opinion my dad and stepmom are 16 year age gap which in my opinion I think it's huge but my stepmom age 41 does treat my dad way more better then my mom ever did. My dad and stepmom had been married for more then a decade they get along well.

u +1 yWhen I was 23 years old, I dated a woman who was 46 years old. We only dated about two months because sex was not enough of a reason for us to stay together and, otherwise, we didn't have enough common interests.
My current girlfriend is 58 and I am 67. We have the same goals and similar interests (even though she was born in China and lived there untl she was 28 years old.)
What if you met a guy who checked all the boxes for you, seemed perfect in every way, but he was 44 years old; would you pass him up, not give him a chance? I would not dismiss guys with an age difference unless you actually tried it once or twice to see what it is REALLY like to be with someone with an age gap. I suspect that it is much different than whatever you are fantasizing.

You are right , I was looking to date a 30 year old guy all this time. I will admit I did turn down guys in their late 30's.

I have a friend who used to have a checklist for potential girlfriends. They had to go to a specific college (not a state school) have a certain career, drive a certain car, be from a certain town, etc. This was over 20 years ago. He is still single.

My only checklist is he has to be Christian and must be born in the years 1992-1994. But it's hard.

+1 yI think your dad is right. Age is just a number. It matters but doesn’t. I’d rather date a 40 year old with beautiful character than a 20 year old with a pretty face and little in terms of character.

She is not racist.

I don’t get you. Suppose I’m racist. Suppose she is too. Do you think calling us racists means anything? We’d just be like: “yeah….. and?” Calling people racists who actually are racists won’t mean anything to them.
That brings me to my next point. If you believe we’re both racists, so you think you’ll win either of us over to your way of thinking by continually calling us racists?
So, racists know they’re racists and don’t care if you call them such, and continually calling people racists won’t win their hearts.
Does this make sense? I’m open to dialogue with anyone about any subject.
If you want less racists my suggestion is to speak to the ones who are (on here where you’re safe, no telling what Jonny Reb might do” and have an open and honest dialogue. Share you points. Listen to theirs. You might just be able to convince them. You might discover there really aren’t so many racists out there but the media wants to believe white nationalism is the biggest problem facing America.
So help me out bro. Let’s start an open and honest discussion. About these racism situations you see. Let’s do it respectfully and calmly. Let’s be respectful and exchange views and see if we can relate to the other.
I’m gonna put it out here right now. I don’t like American blacks who aren’t “uncle toms.” For the most part. I do however like blacks from other countries. They seem to not act entitled and seem to not feel a constant barrage being shoved down everyone’s throats is going to solve the problem.

@Tornado
Ok. Where’s the racism. I didn’t say I dislike all blacks, but rather American blacks. I don’t dislike all American blacks. It’s a case by case basis, but as a group I dislike you.
Let’s start with reason 1. You are your own worst enemies. Blacks rank the highest per capita in the following:
1. Incarnations
2. Low income/poverty
3. Unemployment
4. Out of wedlock births
5. Single mother homes.
They then invent fancifully tales about how whitty keeps them down through systematic oppression. Really? Whitty has the easiest job in doing this as all of you wreck you own lives. Then Blame everyone but yourselfs…to include Slavery which ended over 160 years ago. Then to make your point you guys come up with and endorse CTR which is racism against whites. You say things like: “all white people are oppressors by merely existing of all other races and they’re automatically racist upon birth.
You guys do this stuff, steal stuff to get justice for Michael, George and Freddy…and then expect everyone to take you seriously. When we don’t. You play race cards.
This is my problem and most others. - +1 y

@Tornado92 You need to be respectful live my friend alone. Stop calling my friend bro you could at least show him some respect , You mean Sir. He secrefice his life for you and I and this is how you repay him? I bet you wouldn't Handel the things he had to go threw you have no idea. Apologize to my friend the least you can do say sorry. You never ever disrespect a veteran. He deserves more respect. He is a man of God. Perhaps it would be a good idea if you stop with this whole aurguments keep that big mouth of yours shut and listen to him about a scripture and hopefully you will learn something. This man he is a great example devoted his life to the Lord. A great role model. His done way more in life then you ever had in your whole 30 years you ha Dever existed!

Commonality, personality and spirituality were the three things I looked for with an age limit of 1 to 3 years difference.
I think after enough time and heartache you learn what you want in your life partner in addition to agreement on money, kids, sex and in-laws. So the real question is what are you searching for?
01 ReplyI think it would be worth trying to widen the age range to something like five to eight years and start with that. Not all guys in their 30s are looking for early 20s. Some would be glad to consider a 29 year old woman. And your dad is right in that compatibility and how a man treats you is more important than the man being within a year or two of your age.
01 Reply858 opinions shared on Family & Friends topic. If you are only looking for a guy born in 1992, that is really stupid. You are severely limiting your number of guys to choose from. What the hell does it matter if the guy is only a few years older or a few years younger than you? It doesn't matter at all, it only matters in your foolish brain. So you're 29, you should be open to dating guys who are like 25-35. 5 years difference is nothing now, you're not in high school anymore.

Personality is way more important than age…. Once you are over 21, age doesn’t really matter unless you make it matter. Just my opinion.
