Those kind of experiences I would not call dates. Fun!!! but not dates.

I think if you are lucky enough to find the right partner, it always seems to remain fun. The experiences may not be as wide open as when one is younger, but again, the right partner may give any of those experiences a run for their money.

Does dating eventually go from fun to a chore? I guess if you are looking for a relationship for too many of the wrong reasons.

It stops being fun when you're still dating at an age when people expect you to be married. Where I live, it would be late 20s.

It seems late 20s or early 30's because women then want and expect men to be no longer living with their parents, and have their lives together, be in their career job already, have their **** together, which means women are looking to get married and settle down

Is that your idea of dating? If you're asking about hooking up, technically that can be done at any age, though it's much less likely past the age of, say, 30 I would think.

Well those things you described doesn't constitute dating necessarily at least in most people's minds.

Not an age but life experiences. Myself, I was married to a wonderful woman for 42 yrs, who I am sure was not a perfect wife. If you asked me to list her faults the only thing I can come up with is she didn't spend any time on herself. I know anyone I date should not be compared to her but I don't think I could help myself. I was fortunate to have experienced love like very few people do and my guess is that I will go to my grave and meet her in heaven still faithful

Ya because it seems most women over age 25 are looking to get married or settle down, they want a serious committed long term relationship that will ultimately lead to spending the rest of their life with that person but women under 25 are usually more open to casual dating

If what you describe as fun, is fun for you and that is what you want to do with your time, then so be it. Your experience will be as lame or as exciting as you make it.
I recently had the opportunity to have dinner in Delray Beach on Atlantic Avenue. The restaurant was on a corner and there was a small bar area not far from our table. I sat and watched, horrified as an older male was hitting on and doing things to a younger female. The age difference had to be 30 years. Their heathen public display made me wonder where they were coming from mentally, in which kennel they were raised, and what they possibly could have had in mind when operating in such a questionable fashion (from a disease point of view).
Fun? Perhaps one day they may both escape the biology in which they are mired and live to see a day when a more thoughtful and romantic approach will yield a longer lasting "fun".
