At 20 my then gf was 24 and the age gap seemed significant - the kudos earned from my mates was rather eroded by their juvenile behaviour. At 26 met a 19yo at work and we got on like a house on fire - few differences in the cultural references but everything else was great, bar her boss and a few others of my parents' generation clear disapproval. At 36 I enjoyed the company of a woman blessed of the finest figure with which I have yet been acquainted. I knew she was significantly older than me but of course never asked directly. She admitted to something like 56, but I was sure that was a "show biz age". The numbers were never any sort of issue, we had what we had in common. A couple of years in, she took early retirement from work and then decided I should be seeing people 'your own age'.
When I was a young man of twenty I had a brief fling with a forty two year old hairdresser who was the spitting image of Brigitte Nielsen minus the boob job. I still see her around though nowadays she looks more like Denis Nilsen (pre-death but only just).

My first wife was 6 years older than me, it didn't last that long , about 3 years. My second wife is 6 years younger, as we enter our 16th year of marriage , with 2 lovely children. She says you're only as old the women you feel !
I wish I were living in England. Like I said in another thread the other day, people here in China are obsessed with (women's) age. 31 is already considered as a 'left behind' age for women in most places in China. And 99.99% of men only date women younger than them. For example I've heard many times some men born in the late 70's or early 80's claim they are only interested in women born in the 90's..... (I don't know them. I just hear this from other people)
Some of the good things you have said about age/women in this thread will never be heard from most Chinese men. You are on totally another level of civilisation and values.
So basically if you're a single chinese woman in your late 30s/early 40s..........then you're struggling.
Yes struggling to find a boyfriend/husband, not struggling in other areas. I've heard a few stories about single women of this age living a comfortable life albeit without a partner. I've been trying to stay positive, too. Being single gives me free time and space at least.... and fewer things to worry about, for now....
Blimey Jessie you might think so and despite the cultural attitudes where you are, you really have only just started life at 31. As you say, remain positive and I'm sure that it won't be long 'til you meet the partner of your dreams.
I look forward to hearing about that on this thread when if happens. That's not "if it happens", it is "when it happens".

Hairdresser? Up North?
Was she from Blackpool by chance?!
That is my favourite part of the internet ever - please someone find the thread and post it here. So many new members will not have experienced the joy.

I was 21, just out of a relationship with my school sweetheart (5 years together both aged 16) got wasted one night and ended up meeting a 34 year old South american girl called Luce (pronounced loochay but I just called her Lucy) It's true what they say about Latinos absolute filth she was... Used to break into Portuguese in bed... God knows what she was saying but whenever i hear the song Miami by will Smith it always reminds me of her lol. Not ashamed to admit she was WAY more than I could handle (probably still would be now 13 years later!) She was a bit too fiery personality wise for me in the end and it ended in an almighty blow-out in the middle of a nightclub - fisticuffs were had (not by me I just got a beating) But it was an education and a month I won't ever forget.
My Aunt is with someone who is my cousins mates from when he was younger, used to be his best friend. They have just got engaged recently
Auntie is 47 (not 100% but around this) he was 30 this year, they have been together now for 6-7 years, we all work together too. Kind of awkward at first when he used to go on holiday with them as my cousins mate. At first it was frowned upon by most of the family and they thought maybe a phase after her previous break up, gradually people have been won over and they are very happy together.
My cousin for first few years obviously wouldn't have anything to do with his mate, but gradually they are ok now, they wont ever be as close which is understandable but we do all go golf occasionally now. It does look a bit odd if you think about the age and the fact it was his close friend but as long as they are happy.....
For me , when i was 20 i definately pulled people probably towards the late 40s. Only pull not actually slept with.
I would say ideal age for me 25-35 (however that might depend on how they are, there is a 23 year old i would get with if single as she is mature but others i wouldn't just because they are hot)
Sexually I was a late starter (not for lack of trying on my behalf, I must add), but I lost my virginity at 18 and half to a colleague who was 29 and had a 12 year old son! I was completely overwhelmed as she was extremely adventurous. Sex outdoors being the most mild of the fun we had. Now I’m 56 and my wife is 44.
My biggest age difference was 7 years, we started seeing each other when I was 35 and she was 42. I had no problems with it but for her it was always an issue.
Not long after I first started seeing her she told me she had false choppers, being the mature geezer I am for me it was never a problem. For her it was, to the point she would NEVER take them out in my company. One day I even said I'd bung her £100 if she took her teeth out, she still said no.
Annnnnnywaay, one night we went out for a few drinks and then coming home I made a crack and she burst out laughing and out flew her top plate flying to the floor!!! It was the fastest I'd ever seen her move and the dirty bugger grabbed them and put the top plate back in her mouth! Needless to say we did not have any naughties that night.
I left the following day and she had time to stuff them into the Steradant.
When I was 22 I had a fling with a married lady of 39, why are they always hairdressers?, anyway met her at a family wedding and we started an affair that lasted 6 months we used to meet at the flat above her shop. At first it was amazing as she was obviously very experienced and enthusiastic but to be honest that's all we did and towards the end it became a bit joyless. Looking back it was more about the excitement of doing something that was furtive more than the actual sex. After the affair ended I didn't see her for about 5 years but when we did eventually meet up her frostiness could have iced the Sahara over, lucky escape.

Twice your age minus 7
Or
Half your age plus 7(as long as its legal)
Damn. 27 years out.
Not sure I can see me getting hold of a 75 year old!
Now I’m 56 and my wife is 44.

Otherwise a 30 year old with a 21 year old would be wrong, but a 21 year old would be fine with a 35 year old?
