(Please don't let that last comment dissuade you from emailing me your pic!)

Well, I'm 32... a little long-in-the-tooth in our youth obssessed community.

And you thought Jamie and Ste were fugly? See, I thought they were both cute boys. Jailbait, but cute.

If one cannot stand alone and be happy, confident, and content, they are in no way suited to pair up and offer another anything other than heartache.
God Bless America, right ?

You're completely right. That's the way I feel about it, too.

It's not that I hate being single, and I'm certainly not interested in pairing off simply because society says I should, it's just that I think I have a lot to offer someone, in a very substantive way. (Sorry if that sounds immodest.)

So, yeah, I'd like a mate... but gone are the days when I allowed others to make me feel like some sort of misfit because I was single.

Drooling over jailbait... shame on you.

You're deprived and depraved!

Hey, you don't even know me!

Sorry. I dated someone 9 years younger once, but he was super different mature

Best.Boyfriend.Ever.
too bad he had to go off to college...

Besides, he picked me up! Dammit!

I'm only teasing, sweetie.

Plus, I had a pretty terrific relationship with someone who's ten years younger than me... so I have no room to talk!

If you purposely and exclusively chase after guys or girls who are considerably younger than you, then it's kind of sad... but I honestly don't see anything wrong with dating someone younger than you, if you happen to click.

I think one of the biggest obstacles when it comes to relationships, is finding someone who's on the same page as you.
I've talked to guys who are ten years older than me, who I don't think ever want to "settle down," and I've talked with guys ten years younger than me who are beyond ready for a life-long commitment. Age is irrelevant in those matters.

I'm looking for someone with whom I can have a balanced relationship, where we're both equals and we're both on the same page. If he's my age or older, fine. If he's younger than me, fine.
I mean, I admit I don't necessarily want to date someone who's as old as my father (ooh, I'm going to get slammed for being shallow on that one!), and I sure don't want to date someone who's underage (I'm too pretty for prison!

)... but anyone 18 or over, though younger than 45, is in the running.

good points. Actually, in theory, i like someone older. The main problem with many guys my age is....they love grunge...

I know you were kidding...

I'm 36, hence Joe68 (in case I was fooling anyone) so 32 is not so bad. The only thing that cheers me up is that I look 27, so cool for me!!!

I soooo want to be David Bowie when I grow up.

Has anyone seen Gypsy 83 as yet? The big gay video store in Boystown doesnt even have it!

I do karaoke at all the clubs in Chicago and everyone says I sound like Stevie Nicks, and I say, well, yeah, I've only been listening to her for 25 years, I don't know how else to sound. I've discovered this whole karaoke thing is quite a cult. Too bad most of the guys like to sing like Celine Dion...

Johnny Stew, I'm still waiting for that picture:

Yea - karaoke people have been known to go from one karaoke bar to another - it is kind of alarming in that they seem to live for it. But, to each their own I guess. I like karaoke, but the songs offered are sometimes not the same as the studio versions. They are instead truncated. So, give me a live piano player anyday of the week so I can torture the poor soul

That certainly broadens the base of possibilities. Since I have been dating (about 22 is when I got serious enough to call it that) I have never dated anyone under 28. Now, I would never date anyone under 30. Not a CHANCE. Maybe not even under 35. Not because they aren't interesting, or attractive. And, there are always exceptions. Thing is, there is an experience differential. I want to be with someone who knows what they want out their lives, knows where they are going, and has enough experience to be pretty sure about it. Plus, they ought to know themselves. In my experience, few people have a clue until after 30 about most of that stuff.

For example, a lot of people in their 20's will, and should, make radical decisions. It is a time for questioning, experimenting, and growing up. I don't want to get all ga-ga over someone who decides he wants to go live in Europe for a year, or go get a PhD in New York. Then there is the financial disparity thing. Don't get me started on that one !

I thought I knew everything at about 28. Of course. I was smart, outta college, had a great job, yada yada. I knew nothing. But, of course, I didn't realize I knew nothing until a few years later.
