Will you love a person who is older than you for atleast 15 to 20 years?? Will you fall in love with a person who does not look good, does not have a good posture, figure or physique?? Will you love a person who can hardly earn any living for himself?? Will you love a person who is imperfect? All this things we always answer in a yes just because we are answering them, but in real life that same person wont ever marry a guy or a girl who has any of these qualities in them. Life is easy to see and talk about but when living under such circumstances it makes life difficult, we say we can do everything in love, then why we back off here?? we need a all rounder or a perfect man or woman to love why cant we just love like the love is? pure, true and original??? Any comments possible are welcome... :)

I don`t know about love, i don`t think i`ve been trully in love before. I had lots of girlfriends, had sexx, wild parties, travel, met parents all that stuff.. but never got TOO attached to any of them. I think it`s hard to fall in love, even with a "normal" person... for people with problems it`s even harder, they might need luck... It`s sad but this is the way society today works!

Hi Archie0, Nice one indeed, and are you doing the same? I have falled in love with a woman who is almost the same age as my mom. Nothing is wrong there, just that, it didn't work out because she still have a bit of love for her husband. Yes, I agree with you, most of us as human will try to go for the perfection. But, what kind of perfection that actually matters to us? That depends on people, since each one of us has their own kind of perfection level to be met. In my case, the one that matters is 'heart'. Because, that is the only thing that can last forever, beauty, brain, figures or physique won't last. By time, they will fade, but heart will not.

In love a persons falls in but when marries then he sees the scope of love. Marriage is committment and a life long contract and like any contract it is done by weighing pros and cons.While for falling in love there are no limitations, one can fall in for anyone like old, not earning etc.

Nobody is perfect anyway. It's hard to love a perso n with all these imperfection, that's why we admire those who made sacrifices once we see them into a relation with these characteristics. Maybe love still matters, even for those who married with 15 to 20 yrs older, we may not know their true reasons, in case of money, still love matters, the love for themselves and their families prevailed.

Hi Archie0, love is a natural thing that does not see wrongs. But I don't believe just one person will lack these qulities you mentioned. If at all you find yourself in this situation, love does not pretend. You can easily make the guy or lady look the way you like. Love, I believe make things happen.

I have dated, been engaged, and married to a wide variety of men. I don't discriminate against age (as long as you are legal) or financial status. Ok, I take the last part back. I do have one stipulation, and that is I ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY will not date someone who is a street pharmacist. I've dated a wide variety a of races, but prefer caucasian. I am 35 years old (just turned on March 1st) and dating a man who is 52. It is uncanny how much we have in common and can relate to one another. Race nor age is of a concern when we go out in public. We have such a great time. He is divorced after being married for 25 years. I know you all must be asking saying he must have money. And the answer and response to that is no he is just an average hard worker. I've been engaged to a man who struggled with paying his child support, but loved his kids and got his kids on weekends, all while being a pizza delivery guy at the age of 38. While anticipating of starting a new family. I guess it was just too overwhelming for him and that's why he backed out. A perfect man to me is someone who I can have a wide variety of conversations with. Whether it be goofy, intellectual, political, racial, pop-culture, religion, or just the daily stressors of our daily life of working and parenting. Also, a man who can deal with my crazy family and my evil temper (that rarely comes out, but when it does they need to know how to handle me).

Younger and Older dating = happiness - Happiness can be found outside your age group.
Every relationship has a 50/50 chance.

Your last paragraph is so true. I think if there is any man who can understand all this situations, it must a man with experience.

No love doesnot get affected by ages castes, religion, language and countries. But to live a sucessful love and family life one must financialy strong and should have enough will power and belief in partner so that love is like the love pure, true and orignal.

Of course, we want the best for ourselves. So, when speaking in a real case, NO. A loser will never be an option. In my case, I prefer being married to someone close to my age. And he shouldn't be hard to get along with.

They say love is blind, maybe it is. My parents have an 11 years age difference, they are married 39 years and counting. Love at first sight definitely doesn't fit here. What I'm saying is, it's the love that matters, not the lover.

Great topic Archie..!!Its true wat u say...we can say/judge others about wats rite n wrong..but wen it comes to ourselves we do d same thing..its soo damn biased.Watever..for ur answers..no i can't love a person 15/20 years older...neither can i fell for someone who can't earn his living..nor a "hunchback of Notredam"...as i don't place myself in any of d categories.Love can happen only wen it happens spontaneously..n it happens mostly between equals.Dats y i also don't believe in love at first sight..as for me love needs time n nurturing to flourish. As u say y can't we love such persons..dats for d same reason we fall for normal persons..that is love is not conditional..we fell in love with someone with whom we can connect..who can give shelter to our insecurities..n who complements us.It can only happen..if say,i have similar insecurities...n we provide shelter for each other ..den im sure i will fall in love with such persons..as none of d normal persons can understand me.Like...two strangers..similar situation..friendship..den love..!!Dats natural selection,i guess..!!lol. Happy myloting..!!

I think today everyone is more or less getting self concious about his/her life. We all want good food, place to live, a high income in summary a comfortable life. This makes people to change there old thinkings. Now boys use to marry a ladies who are much elder them they are as they have a good property and a promise of safe life. Also Girls like elder males as they are having a good financial base and also a well standards in society. And according to me its not a bad thing as long as it is not done for some really bad purpose. But ya there are many people who just marry or love other peopleas you mentioned above because they simply finds them a really good person even if they are imperfect. And according to me person has something special in them that he can do perfectly then others. I think this depends on person to person how he/she sees the other person.

In my opinion, the most important thing for the lovers is love!Love connects the persons .Love is the basic between the lovers.Though we also consider his/her age,famliy,appearance ,and some other things, thoes are not so important! When I choose my boyfriend, I will not consider too much about his famliy,appearance,age,educational background,or some other things.I just want that he loves me and I love him ,I want to have a loving me ,having a high ability ,and a sense of responsibility boyfriend!
