Women tell: The importance of age when choosing a man

By Miss Kes 

For some people age is just a number, but for others it means everything, as it distinguishes the mature from the immature. We asked women, how important is age when choosing a man?

AD:

Age means everything to me. I have dated a guy my age and that was a complete disaster. I am extremely mature so it takes someone twice as mature as I am to handle me and what I come with.  I am now seeing an older guy and the level of our chemistry is way past this world. I wouldn’t trade this for anything.

Natalie:

Age is important to me because I cannot see what a man of 50 years would be doing with a 19 year old woman. My daughter recently confessed to me that she is seeing a man more than twice her age and I almost slapped her. It is repulsive and I think the authorities should do something about this.

Mishelle:

Age is nothing. I am dating a guy who is seven years younger and his level of maturity is just awesome and we have been seeing each other for a while now. I couldn’t have asked God for a better man.

Brittany C:

I am not dating any old man. I believe in sticking within my era, thank you very much, and making it work. Some of us women are stooping way below our level because we are impatient. I am fine with my man who is exactly the same age as I am.

ML:

Age is important to me because I cannot see me at the age of 43 dating a guy who could be my son.
