25 year old guy, Youngest I would date is 22 and the oldest is 29. As for sex...as long as she's legal.

I've dated 2.5 years younger and almost 10 years older.

I'm 30, so right now I'd prefer a guy 28-38, leaning more towards 30-34.

Well, I'm almost 38 and am dating a lady of 27.

It is working very nicely for both of us..

Generally, I have no problem dating almost all ages, from 21 up to 48 or so.

But most have been in the 25-30 age bracket.

I'm not overly keen on dating younger guys, as they're often rather immature and not ready to settle down. I'm 30, and my lower age limit would probably be around 25, assuming the guy was mature for his age. My upper age limit would be around 40 - any older and we'd be pushed for time to raise a family together, plus I don't think I'd find many men over 40 to be attractive. I remember my father being 40, and I still feel a little too young to date someone of that age. I'd prefer someone right around my age, give or take a couple of years.

Depends on the women, I am 51 and generally prefer dating women in their 40s but I have dated women as young as 25. She did not look or act 25 so I really thought she was 10 years older. But in general once you get past 15 years difference you are going to have pretty different life experiences which are going to make a relationship harder.

 

In some aspects of a relationship it could possible be harder. But every relationship has its little bumbs in the roads. In some ways it makes the relationship a little more interesting and its just adds a new dynamic. Theres so much more to talk about and to put yourself in that persons life time while your conversing can get very interesting. I think it just gives a couple more to share.

Generally, I think the older you get, the age range gets larger. I was in my mid 30s and dated a man 12 years younger. I don’t think I’d go any younger than that while in my 30s. Now in my 40s and I think a larger difference would be acceptable, in either direction.

Opps but yeah im in my early 20's and my ex is 16 years my senior. I now perfer older men. I just think they are more mature,m put together, they know what they want a little more, and they have more experience in life. At the same time if i were to find a smart mature guy my own age i wouldnt pass him buy for being to young.

The last two guys I've dated have been 10 & 13 years than me, respectively. I prefer dating older men, and it's hard for me to consider or be attracted to someone my own age. I could definitely not date anyone younger than I am, and the youngest I'd probably date is someone 2-3 years older than myself.

Thanks! :)

Age: Early 40s

Gender: male

 

I date any woman under 30 who is legal to date when I'm dating. I wonder how many guys who say they find dating young women strange are actually dating much at all.

Posted

I'm in my early 20s and I prefer men who are a couple of years older (so 24-28), even though I find that even that age group can be pretty immature. However, I never went for older than 28.

I only want to date women exactly 6 years older

Well aren't we closing a lot of doors then ? How old are you and do you have anyone specific in mind ?

 

 

I learned, the EASY way, that age realllllly doean't matter and have always been open to cool human beings that I could connect with.

 

When I was younger I went older, when I got older and that pool shrunk I dated exactly 2 guys younger than me, and ended up marrying one.

 

Values, interests, attraction, and compatibility knows no bounds if you are REALLY looking for somone you groove with, and not looking to satisfy your peer group, or impress strangers. When you truly learn to live by your own rules, his height, income, age whatever, becomes superfluous...

No, not single. That certainly hasn't stopped her before.

 

Not really. I'm the kinky one in the family. ;)

Sort of like the "door mat nice guy" threads, this topic seems to pop up quite often.

 

OP, the only thing I will tell you (and the only thing that I think matters) is how you feel about each other. If you are a good fit for each other then age shouldn't be an issue.

 

And honestly, you don't need anyone's approval to date someone younger or older. In the end, no one elses opinion should ever have an effect on who you date (unless they are a serial murderer).

Exactly! I couldn't have said it better myself!

I don't think it's that big of an issue of an older guy and younger woman if they have both have life experiences, but what do you think of a mid-30s guy going after a college girl who hasnt really lived life on her own?

 

Is it a power thing or feeling needed?

Posted
just wondering ... would you date a girl who in her late 20's - say 28 - 29 while u r 38 ?

and the ladies.. what is the age gap you are willing to consider?

for me, i am comfortable with maximum 12 yrs different.

 

what about guys? do guys look at girls who are a lot younger as a "little " girl ?

 

9 year is my max, and my current g/f is 39 while I'm 48.

Any guy ten years younger than my youngest parent as long as they can keep up with me physically, are pretty nice looking, and treat me good.

let's put it this way, if she wants to have dinner at 3 to get the early bird special...i may have to take a pass :)

I have a tad of experience to fall back on ;)

Mid 30s with college age? Depends on the woman. If she acts like a college girl, it won't last. I think guys that go for intellectually immature women are doing it only because they see her from the sexual perspective (what she is) -- not WHO she is.

The youngest that I know of was 11 years younger then I.

 

I say "that i know of" cause I had 1 asian that refused to tell me her age... Could have been 21.. could have been 41.. dunno.. never did find out.
