Finally! A topic that I actually have some input on!

I've been patiently waiting since we've joined this board...

We are both having birthdays this month - we will both be 36 (I'm 6 days his elder. lol). Anyway - getting to the point. We have only been with one couple so far. They are 27 and 28. I was a little freaked out by that to start with - I have a nephew that age. I know it's not a huge difference in years - but I was still very skeptical. As it turns out, we have done just fine - age has not been an issue. By the way, my husband didn't have any of the apprehension I did about their ages.

People are always very surprised when they learn "how old" we both are - we look younger and act younger (usually people guess late 20's - sometimes early 30's).

We started to correpsond with a couple who were 40 and 43 but stopped once we received photos - they looked older than their actual ages - a lot like my in-laws... and they have grown children (ours are both under 10). The whole thing made both of us uneasy.

I would have to say that age does play somewhat of a factor, but I would also have to agree that the most important issue the couple's personalities, mutual attraction, etc. I do admit we were somewhat biased to not continue with the older couple, but I just felt like people would think we were out with our parents.
