Black Relationships : 10 REASONS TO DATE OLDER MEN

[I_AM_HER]

Iono.....I've had a 10 year gap relationship in the past. My father was 10 years older than my mother.

It's just that now that I'm older, 10 years apart is too much.

I'm reminded of Monica and John Conyers of Detroit. He was 36 years older than her. He was 61 and she was 25 when they married.

Aint no way. lol

The old folks say, "Old men give ya worms." lol I don't know and don't wanna find out either way.

Five years is as far as I'm going.

My husband is 6 years older than me. That’s as far as I’m going lol.
But seriously, I believe it just depends on the man, not the age.
I’m sure there are older men who don’t check all of these boxes.
And what age is considered “older”?

No, they all don't apply to the descriptions.

But, as for "older," that's a personal preference. And my preference is I'm not dealing with a geriatric man....or one too young. I aint got time or patience to teach/train him.

If he doesn't fit the 5/5 rule, he not apply.
Yeah, R. Kelly said, "Age aint nuthin but a number." And look what that got him. lol

LOL, sista.
Ya either got yo- self a boy or a parrot.
Ain't gonna train no man.
A man be will'n to learn but you're not going to train him just as I'm sure you're will'n to learn from what that man knows.

I don't have either and won't have one. I don't do young'uns, no how.

That's why I go by the 5/5 rule...5 years younger to 5 years older. I don't want a boy and I don't want a geriatric.

And you're right. I won't have to train a man.

My bad me think.
The point I wanted to make was ya know (we all know) men that are only men by age but are still little boys. And always will be.
Just as I know women that will always be little girls but never a woman no matter their age.
