I don't generally agree with a lot you say Les, but the above I do. Currently my mates ages range from about 16-17 to 56, not including any family either.
Good example being a nice chap off here who's recently helped me a lot sort some issues round my house out. Older than my mother but boy do we have a good laugh about stuff.
Then there was today. Just come back from a team building assessment for the apprenticeship I'm applying for. Mainly School and College leavers, so about 16-18. Some were chavvy as you'd expect, but a couple of the lads I really got on with, and they didn't give 2 hoots I was 7, 8, 9 years older than them. Had a good laugh and was suprised at the wisdom and knowledge available from a young age.
As for physical appearence, I'm not into old birds. Anything over about 35 seems to have early signs of wrinkles or crows feet around their eyes. It really puts me off even though it will happen to me one day. So for sexy time (if I was single), I'd look for something in my age region (18-30 funnily enough), but mates, not bothered to be fair. As long as they're good people and not bitchy or decieving, I'm easy.

Age obviously bothers you by your last comments.
I care not. Some real lookers on SN are over 40, and some lookers in the younger department are RJ and MI. Two really nice looking "young" men. And also appeal to me because of their sense of humour. They have both cracked me up numerous times. Again. Age has no relevance as I find them appealing because of their personalities. Their good looks is just a bonus
On another note. I have a lot of time for Les. He is older but I always seek out his comments as they usually are well worth a read. Again, massive differences in age. As I said, I care not. Age is just a number. Personality is the way to go
I don't think age is that important at all, the person is what counts, regardless.
There is a 7 year gap between me and my other half, and it really causes no issues. Fair enough, it's not a huge difference, but for some it could be.
As for friends, they have ranged from teens to what I'd call quite old, for quite a long time. I actually like having a good range of friends, as it makes life more interesting. Different views, conversations, and you can always learn stuff from a wider range of people.
I am far more concerned about knowing decent, good people, than caring how old they are.

Nail on head as usual, hun
OK back on topic then. I've found that as I've got older so my taste in men has changed to match, I no longer find younger men attractive at all although I can still look at a fit twentysomething and appreciate their good looks but they just don't do it for me in any way. Men seem to go the opposite way though, the older they get the more they fancy their chances with the younger wimmins. I suspect this has something to do with them worrying about their virility and needing to boost their poor old sensitive egos once the old bonce starts losing its thatch 
Bring on the oldies I say

Hell, I am slipping. Just seen this. No, we don't really get on, but hey, we can't get on with everyone.

Just so there isn't any misunderstanding or government spin on my words.

Just to re-itterate, age bothers me only with relationships. Friendships, I don't care what a person looks like, as I'm certainly no oil painting. My point was that in a relationship with someone, there has to be that physical attractiveness to one another. I personally get put off by crows feet and wrinkles, usually found on 35+ women in my experience.

TBH age is of no concern, life is too short to get a few grey hairs worrying about whether or not your mates are a similar age. ATEOTD if I get on with someone and can have a laugh, that's what's important.
BTW, for 6 months of the year I'm a toy boy, and then come October I catch up again

Age bothers me not, as long as one is mentally mature for me 
For relationships, I never ever thought I would fall for a younger bloke. But as it happened, he turned out to be 10 years younger than me. Ah, well.
I understand what COB says. Grandad lookalikes won't fit my romance criteria either. With older people, they have to be physically fit enough to be charming in that way. As for friends, my most friends are either much younger or way older than me e.g. 75
But I can have a right senseless giggle with the kiddies, I talk to my older 50+ friends with parent or grandparent type respect None of my old friends are dull and boring. They are like old fine wine, old precious books and old, wise tree trunks personality type eccentrics 
In summary, I get on with any age, as long as they are tolerable or if they can put up with me, really

I tend to find that my mates who are older than me are much more drunken and promiscuous than the ones who ar my age or younger...
I'm surprised that no-one has mentioned the minimum age rule for men when it comes to choosing a girlfriend. She should half your age + 7 years e.g. if your 30, she should be minimum of 22, if your 12 she should be at least 13 (
) if you're 22 she should be at least 18, if you're 80 she should be at least 47...

LOL I think it depends. Good looking and sexy older man will have all ages women's queue behind him, to get an autograph of him. Some will be marathon sh@ggers, stopping for a drink at as many places as they can, some won't be so bothered due to their ego automatically being polished for their charms. But the fugly younger ones will be the ones for being desperate and easy

People like Paul Daniels, Rushdie, and Pavarotti types are just so lucky damn barstands with so much money to catch so much younger and fit wimmins, innit?

That's it. When you are over 30 you are no longer young,but they think they are
A bloke works with me. He is 29, He could pass for well over 40 in his looks and attitude. It is wreaking havoc with us wimmins
Sal, he is hooooge too, shaved head, the lot

I wreak havoc at work. But I think that's for other reasons
Have you been checking his package out?
