Are common interests/ages important?

[Pirahna]

On the age gap thing, great if you're the older person, potentially not so good for the younger person. My experience is that we're (wifey and I) are friends with three couples with significant age differences, all are older women, all the women are in their 70's. Two of the couples are ticking along nicely although one of women isn't in good health and is heavily reliant on her husband, the relationship is fine though. Couple number three, she's reliant on him for just about everything. She won't drive, although she could if she wanted. He does the shopping, runs her here there and everywhere and he's getting a bit resentful of it.

That has always been in the back of mind as in general the guys I like enough to consider possibly maybe 'going out with' are at least 15 years younger than me - and the women in my family do seem to live to a grand age, so I don't want to inflict that on someone!! Another reason to not get involved, historically.

I'm sure it can work as long as the older person doesn't just stop trying, but it could always be a challenge

I think common species is important, so all you goat fuckers should stop.

On another forum they mixed my actual name with cougar . Always makes me grin!

I’m not sure it should only be a monthly warning

We need to think what the F.U.F. actually means

Sometimes it just works.. you know me and have met my other half right?

[Felix]

Who's gonna tell her about the birds n the bees?

We don't want Preggers Noggers.

I may not be well practiced, but I do understand the practicalities

If you are looking for a refresher course i am quiet over the winter months

Having all the same interests is too much

Having some common interests and some of your own seems right to me.

I'm not sure Yorick would be up for that,however thoughtful the offer.

She likes your driving and you're both a bit daft! Perfect, no??!!

But, but - aren't you in that Scotchland? I mean, I am already part Scottish, don't think I need any more??!! (but a very kind offer! )

Sounds about right. I guess I also wondered how many had partners that were into bikes too. But it seems it's not 100% important!

As I've said, I've not had an actual relationship for a couple of decades, so it hasn't really been important to me. I'm still probably not going to have an actual relationship, so it's still not!

All I do know is I won't ever give up bikes for someone, so if a potential relationship bloke says I should, he's no longer potential

Thank you for breaking it to me gently.

I'd suggest that similar sleep patterns are more important than common (shared, not 'Oh dear, how') interests.

@Noggin

I’m late to this - wifey is 10 years older than I am. It’s not really an issue other than her taste in music, crimpoline slacks and velcro shoes (Christ I hope she doesn't read this )

Re you potential squeeze - he/ she is over 16?
