Hey everyone 😊3

On the age gap question, I'm not sure I care much. I generally have always preferred older women for their intelligence and maturity. But now that I'm in my mid-30's, there are a lot of women younger than me who also fit that description. For me to go 10 years younger is difficult to find a 24-year-old who is mature enough, but such women do exist. More realistically, upper 20's to lower 40's is my age range.0

I recently got out of a relationship with someone who was 26 and I am 29, almost 30 years old. Even though the age gap was only 3 years and he was very mature and successful for his age, I constantly found that he wasn’t on the same level as me emotionally and maturity wise. I think this experience taught me that dating someone who is younger then me just isn’t for me!3

In all fairness, there are people in their 50's and 60's that act like children. Maybe your ex will grow up in time, but maybe he is just an immature kitten. That doesn't mean all younger men are the same, nor that older men are different.1 -

I think at 29-30 you are at that magical age where you can date a wide range of people and have them meet the criteria of what you are looking for. Id say from mid 20's to 40 there has got to be somoene in there for you. Thats a pretty big pool to choose from, you can be selective and have lots of options i think.2 -

I work with people 25+ years older than me and guys around my age...I can’t tell the difference between them other then the fact that the older guys work without crying.

He’s already 26 aren’t people already set in their ways by then?
Everyone has time to grow but I mean for the most part by 26 we know right from wrong right?0 -

It's not about knowing right from wrong. I can honestly say I'm a better communicator than I was a year ago. I think most of us continue to grow over time. In fact, I guarantee there are some people who would have looked at me only a year or 2 ago and said that I was immature based their perception - which came from how I communicated. It doesn't matter that I was ahead of my peers right out of high school, managing on my own 2 weeks after graduation, and went on to become student government president in college. I had a FT professional job and professional licences before I was old enough to legally drink. Still, in some circumstances in particular, I have done poorly communicating even in my 30's. To some people's perspective (I can think of a couple of people specifically), they would say I was immature. I still know one of those people and would like to believe that she agrees that I'm better now than I was 2 years ago. I absolutely think someone as old as 26 can make improvements in 2 or 3 years because I've made big improvements in the past 2-3 years even in my 30's.
Now if we are talking about whether one realizes it is improper to steal, for example, that is an entirely different conversation. Maturity is not about right vs. wrong... it's far more gray than that.2 -

I have a pet... but yea, still single. Do I think I will find someone now that more women are going to online dating? No, I do not. I will never find someone.2 -

I haven't given up hope. But, likeliness of something happening is pretty minimal. At least for the few months given our current lockdown situation.

My odds are bad, lockdown or not. My biggest problem seems to be all the women I am meeting are either taken or they have good taste in men.1 -

Maybe they are not that single......and are in lockdown with their SO’s...... lol
I am single, but now that home schooling must occur at the same time as working from home... Well. Not much time in the day0 -

I think since many people are not at work, they're home stuck with their significant others & can't be on MFP like they usually are. 🤷🏾♀️ So now we know they were MFP single & not real life single. 😂4 -
Anybody up? Boredom is hitting hard right now 😫2

I have become a horrible person being with my kids all day. Why can they not just do what I say the first time I ask? I spend my entire day shouting! I try and make things fun but then it just descends into anarchy. So I am forced into tyranny. It is not becoming of me7
