Do U limit yourself on who U date based on age? What do your friends think about your choices? I've dated women from 19-37 (i'm 29), and it is not an issue on my behalf, just gettin a general vibe from everyone...

Well, I'm 28 and been looking at pictures of my fave girl Kate Bush who's 44. That's a difference of 16 years but...yeah, she'd still get it. Stevie Nicks is like erm, 54 (?) I think. And yeah, I think I still would.

I am uncertain but concerned. I look more to the long range... May seem ok now... say 29 and 37...what if i say 39-47... (there is quite a gap there) though 49-57 does not sound off so much

I feel 7 years, plus or minus works best.

I would prefer a man who is over 40, but they have never shown any interest in me.

Yeah I do, I only date older guys, younger guys are so immature and don't know what the want for most of the time, I don't have time for that, I need someone who know's who they are and what they want.

Women years are like Dog yrs ... they mature way faster then guys anyways, so a woman should take her age and add fiive years to that, if she wants to date someone that's compatible .

Age isnt really an issue for me,if I connect with someone then thats reason enough.

But all of my previous relationships have been with people older than me

Much love Pochacco

Personally I prefer to date women a bit older than myself. The women I've dated who were younger than me were too stupid.

Of course when I'm 45 I may think differently

It doesn't matter at all as you get a bit older i.e over 25 or so. My wife is a few years older than me. Big deal!

I seems that age is an issue only if one makes it an issue.
If both sides don't care, it doesn't matter.

See, I just mentioned the women I had dated, I didn't say it was true of ALL women younger than me Phew! That's my "get out of jail free card" played.

Ladies 18-68 get my vote.I Don't Care just as long as it's all Pink Naturally.Smell good,Look&Feel Good.

i don't think i'd date anyone under 25, nor over 35...but i don't want to limit myself so i'll take applications and review on a case to case basis...

next please...

I never really thought about it, but it appears that I've only dated men who are older than me.

And, now that I do think about it... I think age would be an issue with me for many reasons... and not one of them probably a good reason.

age is not an issue. every person grows up in a different way/speed.
If you love someone, then you love him. Fact! where's the age in that?

Only age that matters is by law. Then you just wait a little and it becomes legal.

Well said.

Ya know, I just decided to stop dating someone because he is so obviously going through a mid-life crisis thing...first of all, he lies to women about his age (he's 45 but tells them at first that he's 39, justifying it by saying not as many women would be interested if he told them the truth right away). He also states he's not physically attracted to women over 40 yrs. old (I'm "only" 34, so he wasn't referring to me). He also dyes his hair (that in and of itself isn't a biggee, but combined with the lying and refusing to date women his own age...). I couldn't deal with his issues with women and age...adios, I said!

Age *can* certainly be an issue if, say, a 35 year old dates a 19 or 20 year old, or some such similiar age gap. USUALLY, a person in their late 20s/early 30s is in a very different place emotionally speaking than a young 20something, and their needs and wants in life are USUALLY different than a person in their early 20s, as well. That's not saying they're aren't exceptions to that (I realize there are) or that such a pairing can never work out, nor is it saying that the two people involved aren't both nice, intelligent individuals...but it's hard to get on the same page and create a lasting relationship when life experiences and goals and the maturity level that USUALLY comes along with growing older is in one person and not (yet) the other.

As a person gets older, an age gap becomes less of an issue. A 40 year old dating a 50 year old is a much different situation than a 30 year old dating a 19-20 year old.
