Age Ain't Nothing But a Number

i'm so happy for them!...Tameka is a gorgeous dark skinned woman...GOD Bless them.

Young men are maturing. They are looking at the character of women-women who love themselves. Ladies, it all depends on who YOU are. Be strong, stand on your own & don't be so afraid of being alone that you accept unhealthy conditions in any relationship. A young man who isn’t intimidated by the character of an older woman is man who knows what he wants. In his pursuit of her, he becomes a better man to remain on her level. There was a time when a man wanted to prove he was good enough for a woman. He’d look at a woman & ask himself "Is she out of my league?" What changed? The woman became the aggressor; settled, lowered her standards & the shine of her diamond began to fade. My beautiful, strong, Black man is 10 yrs. younger than me. I can see where I have made a difference in his life being who I am. If we go our own way, we will exit the relationship being better than we were when we entered it. How many couples can honestly say that?

Okay...whether we like it or not, we really have to think before we make certain decisions. I agree that if age doesn't disturb you, and you can deal with a youger man (be honest, are you prone to jealousy?) then more power to you. But the world is made up of more people than just you and yours. Know that people are going to say things, namely, his family - maybe. Are you prepared for that? And it will affect the relationship - either making it stronger or weaker. It is not pleasant having a strained relationship with his side of the family. Can you handle that if that happens? Plan for the best, but prepare for the worst. That's my advice.

I am a mature woman, my first husband was older than myself, my second husband younger. Currently I am dating a much younger guy and I use to worry about what people would say. We have broken up two or three times but we get back together. If you are happy and get along great with each other, why fight it. Tomorrow is not promised to anyone and you should live life to the fullest.

There is nothing wrong with an older woman and a younger man, provided the guy is of age, It's widely accepted nowadays and woman realize that some older men are boring and set in their ways. I'm all for it. I think Sanaa and her man make a stunning couple!!!

To "God is my judger" on October 6th, i assume English is your first language, i could be wrong. Instead of "standed", you should have used "stood" the test of time and God is not a judger, i take it the word you were looking for is "Judge". I am not judging you but it would be nice for people to read what they write before posting it. It just makes better reading

Fir the first time i have met and with a man that is have fallen in love with a man that is 10 years younger than me. At first it was a issue with me but i learned to move beyond the age difference this man is so nice to my kids and me and i really love him and plan on marrying him.i would say to anyone look beyond the age.

So, for all the people out there who cuss people who date younger/older people, are you saying that with age comes maturity? NO IT DOES NOT! I know some Men who are older and if you ever opened the dictionary and looked up the word "DOG", you'd see a picture of them!! It's all about what you want at that point in your life and where you are emotionally.It's only now, at 39 years of age that I'm ready to settle down. I know I let go of some good Men along the way, but I wasn't ready. Tomorrow's not promised to anyone, so if you find what you're looking for, don't let age/race/ and whatever distinctions stop you. BE HAPPY!!!!!

I've learned that age is a state of mind. I am a young-minded, outgoing, active 51 year old. The average age of the men I date is 38. It's them who are first attracted and approaches me. The key is maturity, intellect and chemistry. If you have that, age is realtive.

I have dated older guys and guys my age (30) and am not opposed to dating either. I'm currently dating a guy 20 years my senior and it's great. He stimulates my mind, body and soul and is so handsome. I was shocked that most of my family and friends didn't have anything negative to say as I was expecting a whole lot of "he could be your daddy." Although that may be true he does not treat me as if I'm his little girl and I do not look to him as a father figure - I have a father who is very active in my life. True happiness depends on the persons involved. Younger or older if you are happy and he/she is a good person I say GO FOR IT!!! God Bless!

I never dated younger men, but I met and fell in love with the man I've been with for the past year and he's 2 1/2 years younger than me. He's not like the older guys I've dated. He's more mature and he actually has his stuff together. He doesn't have kids (not that it would have mattered), he has a good job and he's a great provider. Most of all he accepts and loves my children. After dating nothing but loser after loser it's nice to have him, so to me his age isn't anything but a number!!

I didn't realize that my future husband was 4 years my junior when we first met; and it hasn't mattered in our relationship. I would dare to say the same about these other relationships; it takes two, and when the dust settles, it's about being centered and being yourself so the two halves can make a complete whole.

I personally would never date a younger man. But I have learned, that what ever floats your boat. As long as I don't have to help pay anyone bills. Stay out of other people business. Who cares. The only judge should be God.

Yes they have an age difference but I have no repsect for Usher's wife. She had three sons from her previous marriage. He has sole custody of those boys...where she has visitation rights. Now she has a child and one on the way with Usher. How do you leave three children (even if they are with the father) to be with a man? The reasons she gives for allowing her children to reside solely with their father is BS...she is more concerned with Usher and the life that she has with him than she is about her relationship with her children. Normally men would take this role but it is sad when you see a woman do this...

Im 27 and my hubby is 22, we been married a lil over a year and have a 20 month old boy. My hubby was mature for his age and he was the youngest I ever dated. In my early twenties I went for the older guys and they didnt even have they stuff together, doing things you would expect from younger guys. So in a sense and for some, age is just a number.
