ORIGINAL: muhly22222 FR I guess it depends on how young you're talking. You're 63...if you're talking about a woman who is, say, 50, that's one thing. If you're looking for a 25-year-old, that's another issue. (I mostly wanted to reply because he said I couldn't...I'm feeling contrarian this morning.) Lol on being contrary...I have to admit I've done the same thing in the past on threads that call for male Masters only, or some such thing. I'd like to discuss your comment that the 13 year age difference wouldn't matter as much if the women were older. I'm 51, I'd not consider a 63 year old. For me, the 5 year difference or less has become even more important as I age because there is a big difference in health sometimes from year to year as we get older. The 5 year thing wasn't so crucial when I was younger, although for me, it still gives me that common ground with another person. Now it definitely is important to try to stay within 5 years of my partner or close to that, because of having common ground again, and more importantly now, I don't want to be nursing anyone. If I were in a relationship, and I've aged with someone, and they decline as we're aging, that's one thing, but to take on a new relationship - I need to consider that the person I'm with is in good health. As we know good health is harder to come by with increasing age. I look at age for this reason.
