No, I don't care AGES in friendship....

Yup, i make online friends which are around my parents age. Well, they are women, like me. i don't have older male as online friends, now that you raise the question.

Hihihi..Most of the young girl of today don't like to make friend with older men, you may well is an exception for these online men. Many of the younger women want younger men or at least the same age for friendship due to compatibility and similar interests among the same age group. It it difficult to find among older men with same interests and energy like you due to age differences and life experiences as commonly believe. They are worry you will reject them especially those online predator who like to prey on younger women for personal fun, those with no nefarious intention can take a NO from you without feeling hurtful at all. I also don't care about Age when making friend with anyone, it is just a NUMBER to me....

I do not see anything wrong in having an older person as a friend,for with old age comes wisdom.In africa,it is said what a young person can see standing up an older person can see it sitting down.Here is the benefit one derives in relating to older folks.Relating with older ones,makes you mature faster than your age mates,you will be able to tap into the wisdom of those who are familiar with the mistakes young people will make and have ready solutions for your challenges.However balance the relationship, by relating well with both the young and the aged.Do not let people make you to run away from aged people.Get the benefits of both World as it would assist you in your journey of life

You're right. We shouldn't care about ages on friendship. Maybe ages can make some differences but that's good, that'll make friendship more meaningful.

Me too, to a certain degree I would like to make friends who more older than me, actually my friends are almost like that except my classmates. Someone said my heart is older than age-grade, I am not sure. But I think every stages of life has its own advantages and disadvantages, so it doesn`t matter the age of our friends, as long as we feel good. As for someone said they are too old, I think perhaps they are worried that you might mind it, I think they are honest, so you can also tell them straight that you are okay with them if you feel they are really good.

Excuse but are you a guy or a girl? I'm a girl and girls like to have friends with guys older that our age,we find them more fun, mature and experienced.I had a facebook friend who's 7 years older than me and we had a lot of things in common :)

Age is not important to me. I am 35 and I have friends who are younger than me and I have friends who are older than me. My youngest friend is about 20 and my oldest friend is in her 50's. She is 20 years older than me, but we get along really well and we don't think much about the age difference, we just enjoy the time that we spend together. My younger friends and I also get along really well. I met one of them when I went to nursing school. I was older as the average student, because I worked several years before I went to nursing school and most of the other students were younger than me. My friend and I were part of the same study group and we kept in touch after nursing school.

Thevreason that I can think of is that the social site is a dating site. Not a site to make friends. They are looking for a date to hook up with, not someone to gossip with.

I don't think the age difference matters in friendship. Sometimes in a relationship it matters though. If a woman is much much older than the guy sometimes that can cause them to not be on the same page since women mature faster than men. (Proven fact, not my opinion). In friendship though, its okay if your older or if they are older. =)

Well then it's the first time I hear men tell they are too old for you, or you are too young. BTW it's not sayed they are scared, or are scared you don't like to be their friend in some time anymore (or is this a dating site for real?). Age can count, since it (should be normal) life experiences and so interests are different the older you get. So what you need (for real friendship) is a bird of the feather (people who have the same experiences, life style etc as you have).

Some of my friends follow this same policy..But I am not supporting this..I have many friends in different age..I only measures the friend ship inside them.That's the only thing I watch with a person..But my friends always considers the age.... I am against that...

You're right, what does age have to do with anything? I think they are looking for a different kind of 'friend', and on normal social sites that is just icky. Or at least that is my personal experience. My experience was this: on a family forum I made friends with a guy whom seemed cool, we seemed to respond to the same threads and stuff, and out of the blue he privet messaged me, and asked how old I was, and if I were active at all. I told him and then he messaged me back some very crude comments, that were very un-family friendly. I'm married happily, and it was eww. I reported him and he was banned because I was not the only he targeted either. That whole experience has made me weary about trying to make 'true' friends online. And if anyone ever asks me my age, in a message, with out it being relevant to a conversation I stop talking to them. It's none of their business, and normally it can be found in what ever website you're ons version of a profile page.

Me, too. I don't care about age when it comes to friendship. Well, I guess you just have to understand them because they might have an experience in young people that these generation do not want to mingle with them.

I have met someone like that before. Maybe they are just curious. As you can see nowadays, we can't see teenagers hanging out with old ones right? haha it's weird though. Maybe they are just thinking that young ones don't have interest in old people. But it is the wrong idea, Regardless of age we should treat everyone as equal and be open to be their friend.

Well I too don't care ages in friendship but I don't make friendship with strangers through social website. When it comes to real life, it takes some time to really talk well with elders and hence difficult to establish friendship. But I get charmed by elders but I'm little shy to talk but ages don't matter in friendship

Maybe they believe that they (old persons) have different beliefs with young people now which will make both sides difficult to understand each other.
