Guys, how young is too young in terms of dating?

I refuse to date younger men especially if they didn't go to college. I have a graduate degree and working on my doctorate, so I need someone with similar career accomplishments and motivation. I am 24 soon to be 25, so I will like someone 24-29 or 30. I want to be with someone who is going through similar life events and not thinking about Social Security benefits in 10 years..I am just saying...0

My first husband was 9 years older than me. My second is 7 years older. I wouldn't go any more than 10 years older, if I was to ever date again. I dated a 45 year old when I was 25, when we stopped dating, he went back to his wife and I actually ended up going to their 25 year anniversary party...that was weird. I have a friend who is 48 and just started dating a 29 year old. I think it's too big of a range...she's got 3 teenage kids, he's got 3 little kids, but other than the kids, I don't see where they have much in common at all.0

..amd what are your plans for Hubby number 3? LOL0 -
No chance.
I know a lot of people will say age is just a number, but when you are talking say me at 28, dating an 18 yr old its different stages of life. Not so much an issue say if you were 40 dating a 56 yr old. You are midlife, done the partying, may have been mairried/had kids moved out of home.
Im looking for someone I can do fun stuff with but also look to settling down into something much more solid than I will ever get out of someone who has just left high school in the last couple of years.
After my experiences, everyones will be different, I probably wouldnt date anyone younger than 22-24. Thats just me though :glasses:
ii couldnt agree with u more !! well said!!0 -

I can't imagine why someone would want to date someone that much younger. I try to look at things in perspective. If you were out of high school when the person you are thinking of dating was in diapers you might be just be doing something unnatrual if not out right wrong. I have dated 10 years above and 8 years below my age. Neither were a good match.0

i don't know where i stand but for me 18 would be to young my niece she 16. it would just be awkward for me any way0

Half your age plus seven is the rule - so if you're 30, the youngest is 220

There is a 22 year old guy who wants to date me, but he just looks like a kid to me- its creepy.0

Was going to ask, checked you profile...wow had no idea you were that decrepit....
Seriously...wow!0 -
+ or - about 5 years for me gives a decent age range that more than likey ill have somthing in common with the person.
Thats my rule as well! Although I would prefer the older to the younger...otherwise if I went 5 yrs younger I would be dating a 20 yr old....and 20 yr old boys arent the most mature of people haha

One person being under 21 and the other person being over 21 definitely can play a major factor in just everyday activities. I agree that it is all about maturity, but someone who is eager to grow up too quickly can often have a "freak out" later in life and regret all the decisions they've made in life including the person they are with. This is a tough one.0

i'm 18, my fiance is 10 years older than me. been together almost a year and a half! couldn't be more in love!
age is just a number.0 -
When I started dating my current husband (of 3 1/2 years), I was only 19... and he was 47! It's worked out so well because I'm an old soul, and he's a young soul. I appreciate his experience, wisdom, and insight, and he appreciates my energy, fresh perspectives, and youthful exuberance. I wouldn't have it any other way! Of course, that doesn't mean it'll work for everyone. I think it's very important for a young woman to know what she wants before she gets into a relationship with an older man. 0

Age isn't important to me. It's all about maturity. My husband is about a little over 3 years older then me. I know that's not a lot, but we have been together for almost 10 years. I met him right before I turned 15 and he had just turned 18 a month before. We've been together ever since! 0

Yea im 26.. and my boyfriend is 25 but he cheated on me with his friends mom 3yrs ago and she was 15 yrs OLDER than him!!!!
idk to me thats just nasty!! um but apparently its the "THING", as Ashton kutcher was younger w/demi moore.. And J-lo now dating a 25yr old.. o MY GOD! WAT are ppl thinking!!!???!!! the lowest I will go is maybe within a 4yr. difference any more than that and its TOO MUCH!! Sucks u look older tho, thats not always a good thing... I love lookin young 0 -
I would date someone who was 18 as long as we are compatible. I dont see age unless you "act" it! i am attracted to who I am attracted, small large, young old, what does it matter if the person you date makes you happy? I am currently 46, and over the course of my life I have dated many ages, shapes, sizes, colors, professions, political affiliations etc... I can never recall asking a woman her age before I asked her out! my partners have ranged in age from 18 to 50+ and all have been special to me.0

Sucks u look older tho, thats not always a good thing... I love lookin young
It doesn't suck and I didn't say I looked old. I said generally people think I'm between 21-25. I look young, but I don't look like I'm a teenager. It's not like I have crow's feet...0 -
I'm 20 and 18 is as young as I would ever go!0
