Will you ever want to be a best friend or close friend w/ someone who is much older? Even opposite gender?
I felt uncomfortable w/ much older men unless I was the one who wanted to be friends. Never thought about becoming very close friends w/ much younger or older female until recently.

I don't have any preconceived notions of what a friend should be,,,,,gender and age is irrelevant.....its what's inside that counts. You will find that a true friend is a rare thing. If you make exclusions based on are, gender, race, religion, economic status it is you who will lose.

mths past replying . im way older then a few friends. i would state this- where i am in my head; younger people n i connect. why the hell should i care- its only other people who judge that causes any probs. interestingly enough- no1 has ever thrown me away. so i woud suggest that realistic interaction is more important then judgements.

Being friends is being friends. Age, sex, finances, beauty, height, all that is unimportant.
Besides, anyone "much older" than I is likely dead, as I am fifty-seven. (smile)

age is not a problem for me in making close friends or just simple friend. I actually prefer older people. They are more understanding.

I actually have a friend who is in his 40s- and we are close friends. I liken our friendship to the tight bond that Michael Jackson shared with Elizabeth Taylor. My guy friend and I are just that close. We have been out on several dinner dates, and on rides through various cities in Maryland, we will just talk about any and everything. I value his friendship and am thankful to God for his investment in my life.

I have friends who are very close that are in their 70's and 80's I have close friends that are in their 20's. My older friends are actually the closest... I don't think that many younger people understand the value of friends from different generations...I know I didn't... perhaps they are worried that the older ones will take advantage of them.
My closest friends have usually been female.. but not exclusively.

If I have nothing against that person I see no reason not to be friends with them.
Whether it becomes close or not is a story of its own.
