Your age or older

My husband is my age, he’s actually only a 3 months older than me. When I was a younger woman (I’ve been with DH since I was 25) I would only date guys who were no less than 2 years younger and no more than 5 years older. Now at 34 I think if I found myself single (disclaimer: I’m in a very happy and committed relationship so I don’t really see this happening) I would probably find myself going for a man 10 or more years older than I am, maybe my own age, and definitely not younger. I don’t know what it is, but I think that in men of a certain age there is a maturity and easy self-confidence that only time and experience brings. I find this demeanor (as long as it’s not paired with excessive cockiness) very attractive.

What about you?

    I am almost 21 right now and my DH will be 24 this coming year as well... I have always liked my guys older then me. Because I felt mentally if they are three years younger I would want someone on my same mentality level which for some guys is still never the case. But for me it has always been 2-3 years older... Always and if it wasn't they were complete failures anyways (I love my husband though) dearly

    My husband is 8 years older than me. Doesn't matter much since he has the maturity of a 12-year-old. :wink:

    Yeah? I almost exclusively dated older men in my 20's and 30's, but when I met my now-husband, I was 36 and he was just turning 30. Considering we generally outlive them, younger is a great way to go (as long as they don't look a whole lot younger...and make you look older in comparison).

    My husband is 9 months younger than I am. He calls me his "cougar". hahaha

    I was also married to a man who was 12 years older than I was (I was 45 at the time). He couldn't keep up with me and it would have only gotten worse.

    I am 26 and my DH is 22 and he is more mature than any older man that I have ever dated. I think that it all depends on the guy! :smile:

    I'm 20, and my fiance is 24. I was never able to date men my age in high school, because of their maturity level. My fiance is the most chill, respectful, and adoring man that I could have ever asked for :)
