CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
Does age matter?

I'm 29 with two kids 8 & 11, so age is a factor, but it factors in with maturity level also. I would prefer someone who is older than me, because most likely they are more stable and since I'm a single mom, I wouldn't want to get involved with someone who wasn't into Family thinking mode. I feel like i would be putting too much pressure on someone younger than me. We don't even really fully begin to matture until around the age of 27, findings say.
Bottom line, if God brought to me a 25 year old, fully enveloped in God's character and matture and all those little things I've asked God for my man to be, then who am I to say no to that! Afterall God knows best RIGHT?

sorry if I got a little confusing last post. I read it over and got lost myself a little... ha
I was just trying to say that In the natural I tend to think one way, but I am trusting God to lead me and guide me. Therefor I wouldn't let age stand in the way of having a wonderful relationship with someone. But when its around 2-5 yrs younger, it's kinda weird..I have brothers that age...

I'd prefer someone no younger than 3 years and I'd prefer to be older. Call me crazy, but I'd feel like a kid if a girl was older than me, even one day... That's just my preference, though...and who know? God DOES have a sense of humour, and my future wife might be older than me, and possess qualities and attributes that would be opposite to what I'd appeal to. Of course, if it's from God...it'll be good!

I feel the same....that a man younger than me might feel like another kid in my house...lol. That's just a stereotype though.

25 and 16 is illegal (even if 'nothing happens' the 16 year old can still claim harassment if things go badly). Also, look at it from the perspective of the younger person. 9 years is a pretty big age gap for a 16 year old. People who are 25 and 16 are almost certainly at completely different stages of life and hopefully are at different maturity levels.chippy2000 said:

last time I checked 25-16=9 but anyway I guess you're right. I didn't think of going out with her but just thought she was a nice girl. There are some older ones that I am interested in anyway.
