Is age important to you when you look for new friends?

Psychological age is important to me, not biological age, I want someone who have the maturity that can give me at the same time not too old and boring. Someone who is cool and fun to get along with yet not boring to be with.I dont like people who are too mature and I also don't like people who are too immature. I want someone who can give me serious conversations and have fun with.,

I do not think age is important when looking and meeting new friends. I find that someone the same age as you can be in a very different place in life but they may be your age. Then you may find someone who is older but it in the same point in life and eduring the same struggles you are. This is more important to me than age specifically.

I don't think age is important, especially on line, I think we are age anonymous on line just like our appearance, anyway some people are very young for their age and some people are very mature for their age so I think 10years is a silly difference to make...

Not particularly, but I tend to befriend people older than 16. I think because of the maturity factor. On the other hand, it doesn't really matter if they are older than me.

Every one to their own, I suppose. For me, age is never an issue. I guess the same goes for my husband. We are in our early 30s and we have friends who are 60 years or more. One of our closest friends is 60 years old. We have friends who are our age, and those who are much much younger, like 19 years old. The important thing is that we share the same interests. I would not be able to stay friends with people who has no similar interests as me, regardless of their age. Just because a person is my age don't necessarily mean that we are going to share interests. It could be that we have experienced the same kind of thing when we are younger or something, but that is not enough reason for me.

some what... but we can be friends...with any one. but more convenient is same age group..so we will have similar things..to share...

I believe that in friendship, age doesn't really matter. You can be friends with people with your age and people older and younger than you. When you have friends both young and old, it only shows that you are a good person. It is also an advantage because you will know what are their thoughts on some things. You will get to know new ideas from them and of course older friends could give you some good advises as they've been to the same situation.

I don't really think about age that much when considering new friendships. Friends old and young are worth having in your life. age should not lessen the feeling you have for someone.

hi friend, how are you? to be honest, i dont think that age may be important, I dont know, I have many friends that they are older like 10 or 15 years than me, and I have 5 years younger than me, and that´s okay. I think it would be great because we have different people with different lifestyles and let us to know what they think about an experience, and shows us different points of view about a situation. for me is the most exciting thing having friend with differents ages. I know that sometimes we may not agree with some things they said, but that´s okay, we have differents point of view about an experience. I love have friends older than me. lol! have a nice day

Sometimes its not that you are trying to say age is the difference in making a friend. Sometimes you would like to have a friend closer to your age group because while we all can basically get along and have fun, younger friends may not understand some of your age era and ways of thinking as having a friend that is closer to your age. A perfect example is, I have a neighbor that is in her 90's. I am 59. She found out my Gynocologist is a very nice black man. She is from the era in her mind she would never have let someone of that race examine her. I am 30 years younger than her and race for me is not important but the expertise of care that is given to me. But every age era has a set of morals and how they had been raised to view decisions. I can get along with a lot of younger people my age but then I raised 5 children so maybe that assisted in keeping my mind and thinking younger than the average person of my age. I find it very hard to find someone my age to become a friend to. My mindframe is very broad and when I learn information like even here, I can think about what someone has asked or said and come up with a new opinion that might not have been possible. We can learn a lot from people of all ages. however sometimes it is just nice to go out with someone closer to your own age to enjoy a movie or lunch.

Generally speaking, I don't care about my friends age. But yes, I admit that most of my friends are of my similar age. How to say? The similar age means you can have similar point of view, experience and life value, which are important for making friends.

Matter of factly, it is. When you are with people of the same age bracket as you are, you become more comfortable considering that you have the same likes and you are on the same generation. It is too hard to have a friend who is way older than you since older people have different wants. If you are a teenager, will you go with someone who is on his 40 and call that person a friend? A parent probably but it is just weird that you call that person a friend.

Age is not a problem,as long as interested in with,can talk to ,need not too concerned about age ,you say?

I don't think age plays a factor in my friendships. For instance, I have a 50 years old Japanese friend, and I don't mind having friends younger than me as well. Variation in the age of friends isn't a bad thing. It does actually have its advantages; you get the chance to view and experience the world according to different points of view, which is helpful for building up a complex, profound personality.

Hi there... Age doesn't really matter. As long as two people can gel up, nothing matters. All it requires is understanding and happines with each other... Age isn't important even in case of love... Love and friendship run on parallel lines.. :-)

Most of the young kids now look for friends their age. Maybe because they can easily find mutual interest. I personally don't choose friends based on age. I have a lot of online friends who are way older than me. I think they are more better to be friends with online rather than younger ones. But I also have young friends.

Age doesn't matter, as long as you have a good camaraderie then it's good. Making company should not depend on age bracket, you should always welcome all stages where you can learn from their experiences. We should welcomes all.

for me, i love having friends with different ages..it's like i learn things from my friends who are older than me..and those who are younger than me can also learn something from me..and it's fun to be with them..

Age is not important for me in a friendship. I have friends who are much older than me, as well as younger ones. The same age sometimes means more common interest, but many times not. It's funny that I almost never had any friends of my age, always younger or older. It's rather the personality that counts.

i had to check myself in answering this, simply because it was a knee-jerk reaction to answer that no, age doesnt matter but maturity does. but more thinking to it and i find that it does matter, if only for the fact that people of the same age bracket would more often than not be exposed to similar if not identical stimuli like pop culture, issues, etc. this would usually be the cause of generation gaps i think between people that would determine i guess if a friendship would flourish or not i.e. if one can go beyond the generation gap to find common grounds. but on another note, there are times when friendship simply starts with just that feeling of "i like this person"
