Yeah, I've never gone out with anyone younger. Once had a three way snog (was weird but interesting) with two girls who turned out to be late twenties as they thought I was older. I was 17. They seemed embarrassed. I wasn't complaining. (I'll point out I didn't lie about my age. They came up to me and asked me if I wanted one so I was drunk enough to smile and say yes. Those were different times).

Out of interest, how come you made the thread?

I'm 25 and couldn't imagine being with someone 28 or older or someone 22 or younger. But that's not to say it couldn't happen. I just couldn't see it happening right now, if I was single.

A 100 year old and a 57 year old is fine.

Because it's filled with bullshit that's usually not scientifically correct, and when it is they misinterpret it to push some agenda. And this: http://www.newstatesman.com/blogs/lifestyle/2012/08/how-sex-tips-girls-are-ruining-sex

Every case to be treated on its individual merits. If it feels good then it's fine, but be aware that if you are especially young then you may be in a vulnerable position. Not necessarily but the chances are increased. Then there is being able to cope with being so separated in terms of what you are going through/have been through in life. If you can cope with it then fair enough. It's something to find out through experience with the person I guess. Then you've got the potential that you may be compatible with the person because they are immature for their age. The downside to this is that you may mature and outgrow them in the future. If none of these things apply, then the problem is with the other people making assumptions and viewing the relationship from the outside. I'm sure there are compatible people of various ages out there. I would still find it weird if a 70 year old was going out with anyone under 45 though. Or a teenager was going out with someone in their late twenties or older.

Don't listen to glamour magazine, ever.

I've only ever been with people within two years age of me, but that's because I can relate to them a lot more as they are going through similar things to me. I imagine when I'm older I'll be more flexible in that area, as life get's less hectic after the teenage years, but I don't wish to be in the position of starting up a relationship again as that would mean this one would have ended. And that'd be fucking awful.

So who's the 50 year old guy then?

Holy fuck, I just got to Reilly's bits. You don't seem like a jerk. I actually read his first post as saracasm then saw he was being genuine.

American dreams are funny.

Get in to Connan Mockasin.

I think that's got less to do with Coldplay and more to do with that guy being an absolute penis face though.

Cooooooooooool. Yeah, I'm only on page 3 haha.

And for people who say, I'm always calling Coldplay shit, it's only because it's the internet. I don't think I've ever said it in real life. I've said 'I liked their early stuff but don't like their new stuff', but that's been it. And where's the crime in that? I think the internet brings things to the forefront and makes people think about it in too much detail. Like the amount of thought I'm putting into overanalysing this thread. It's what the internet makes you do haha.

Never tried one. BUT YES. Making the most of the holidays I see :cool:

I think being at the level of 'fan' for any band is a bit weird, but there's a whole different reasoning behind that than simply whether the band are good or not. I see Radiohead as the best band of all time but I don't consider myself as a fan.

I can't imagine too many times when these things come up with strangers, really. Not these days, for me, anyway.

All true, but the internet is very different to real life. And if someone said it to me in person, I'd just pity them and move on. I'd just remember it and judge their shallowness and consider that when deciding on whether to bother enter into conversation with them in the future.

They only care about what they like, and why you don't feel the same way. It's all insecurity in their own tastes, essentially. Criticism of something they value. The only conversations on music that are truly worthwhile, I find, are the ones about any form of social impact it may have, positively or negatively. Something that transcends whether something sounds good or doesn't. Or just someone says they like something, and you say 'oh, well you might also like this'.

But I know many feel that they aren't as good as they used to be and are middle of the road and pretty boring musically. You combine that with huge popularity and that's the problem. I don't think you guys should care what non fans think. I don't think you should even care what other fans think. If you like them then good stuff.

Did you actually think it was morning? Hahaha. Also, I'm catching up with that thread AJ. Interesting stuff (I'm not patronising you here, I hope, by calling it interesting, but I am learning things and so I find it interesting)

Ohhhhhhhhhh, I misunderstood haha.

Never mind. I googled the asterisk :)

I didn't see that thread? Can you link? I'm afraid I don't know what the * part refers to.
