AGE!!!!!

Ok Lioness sweetie let me explain why I gave Wizzie a hard time about his age!! A few weeks ago it was Skitten and Wizzie's 13th wedding anniversery and i was nice enough to enform him that 13 yrs ago i was 7. So ever since then on the board and on IM i give him a hard time about his age. Dont know why I just do. But Wizzie is the same age as Expertise and you dont see me giving him a hard time do ya?? NOPE, didnt think so!!!
 
I couldn't agree more. Older is not bad AT ALL. I am currently trying to have a [at least sexual] relationship with an older woman, due to the fact a lot of the girls my age are too damn passive and I find it hard to learn and hoan my skills with them. Older women (so I hear) are a lot more agressive and tell you what they want, and therefore, I learn. BAM! a fool proof plan to be a better lover. Now where are the older ladies to teach me?
 
I guess it depends on how old "older" is in your case , Ian ...

Anyway - I have not a clue about the age of most people around here so obviously I don't care (although stated several times I am not able to recall ages of most of you and only go by approximate guessing *lol*) As for my "real life" adventures ... I guess I couldn't care less either. Either it "clicks" or it doesn't although - thinking about it - it does click more often with "older men" in my case it seems (and "older" is for me 40 to 60, so I am NOT talking OLD as in absolut measures but as a relative figure compared to myself).

AS for the significance of age in the "discussion" environment - I think sometimes it helps to understand someone and a certain point of view lots better to at least have an idea of the decade the person is in ... not for evaluation purpose but simply to put statements into perspective.
 
Ahem.

Ian, sweetie, I'm 47 and let me tell you a thing or two.

Older ladies might be more relaxed about themselves. We are usually more experimental. We can let it all go.

However -- we are still human beings, not just sexual adventure on legs. The Rules still apply -- you are going to have to court the favor of a lady, not just assume that she's going to jump into the sack and teach you all about sex.

Appeal to the woman first, Ian, and then the sexual woman. You'll get a lot farther that way.
 
that about says it all

And that's certianly the most true statement I've seen in awhile,,, and nope, I'm not female,,, just a male that has enough years to have learned a thing or three.
 
I don't think age is important in relationships. Unless one of the parties is very young, and then age can be a significant factor.

I'm 22 and most of the males I know that are my age are mainly interested in drinking and fucking. While I don't have a problem with either - far from it! - I do like a guy to have a few other interests and be able to carry an intelligent conversation. So my tastes tend to run a bit older. Just 5 - 10 years older so far, nothing shocking, but still, there is generally a fair difference in character between 20 and 30.

Hey CW, like your signature! *HUGS*
 
why, thank you, Miss Sally

Twasn't the best that I could do,,, but it sums me up in the fewest words,,,

Ahhhh,,, to have been noticed by a youngster ;) my day is complete,,, hell, my week is complete,,,

Wobbles away grinning like some damned fool,,,
 
You all are soooo sweet! *sigh*

Lioness, thanks for helping clear the air. It really created a great bonding moment! seriously.

At 29, I am looking forward to aging. I can't wait for the milestones. At 30 I will be in the best shape of my life. At 32, I will be competing in the winter olympic trials (fingers crossed). I have also begun to desire instruction or technique training from an experienced and intellegent woman.
 
I'm going to have to disagree with that statement, somewhat.

While age does not necessarily confer experience or ability, it does confer perspective. One has had time -- and time is needed -- to integrate whatever experience and lessons one has learned.

It is a fact that the things that would send a person into a tailspin at 22 barely register on the radar at 47, and that is entirely due to that perspective.
 
CL when you declare yourself a goddess let me know, so I can come worship!

Exactly. I think so much differently than I did at 18 (thank god!) or 25 or even 28. Now I'm 30 and not only am I aware of my abilities in a much more realistic way, I am also aware of my weaknesses without feeling as though they define me. I'm also finally comfortable in my skin. I can look down at my body and see the positives instead of dwelling on the negatives. I don't mean to say that you have to be a certain age before you get to this point, I'm well aware of the fact that I'm a late bloomer. I just know that as I get older I do tend to think more about the successes and failures in my life and try to learn something about myself from both of them.
 
In praise of older lovers (paraphrased from Ben Franklin):

Because they have more Knowledge of the world, and their Minds are better stored with Observations; their conversation is more improving, and more lastingly agreeable.

Because when (they) cease to be handsome, they study to be good. They learn to do a thousand Services, small and great, and are the most tender and useful of Friends when you are sick. Thus they continue amiable.

Because through more Experience they are more prudent and discreet in conducting an Intrigue to prevent Suspicion.

Because in every Animal that walks upright, the Deficiency of the Fluids that fill the Muscles appears first in the highest Part. The Face first grows lank and Wrinkled; then the Neck; then the Breast and Arms; the lower parts continuing to the last as plump as ever; so that covering all above with a Basket, and regarding only what is below the Girdle, it is impossible...to know an old (lover) from a young one. And as in the Dark all Cats are grey, the Pleasure of Corporal Enjoyment...is at least equal and frequently superior; every Knack being by Practice capable by improvement.

...lastly. They are so grateful!!!

Now Old Ben was talking about women, but in paraphrasing his reasons (and in omitting a few which aren't applicable - you know, stuff about debauching virgins) I think they apply equally to men. So there are definitely some advantages to being older. :)

What do you think, Luscious? Did Old Ben get it right?
 
Woah Nellie! Pull back on the reigns!

Lioness,Creamy, Cheri, correct me if I err darling ladies.
*smooching hands*
One can mark the miles however they like. Though those miles do give perspective, the passage of time and distance do not necessarily mean one has wisdom and/or an old soul. *wink*

Physically, mentally, and emotionally we respond (at times)differently and with more clarity and focus than when younger. *ahem, sometimes not*

The orginal point of the thread was to express concern re: a chide thrown and countered by two well-meaning adults (Wiz and Hunny). Though the situation has resolved itself, we have stumbled onto a non-issue, but one that bears attention. It seems that we need to express our growth. Lets do that then!

Ladies, Gaucho, how have you all grown as people since 25? Mentally, phyically, and emotionally? How have your perceptions, needs, wants, and expectations changed?
I admire growth and one's ability to gauge their own development. *hugs all around*
Your willingness to express yourselves shows strength of character! Thank you!
