    Put me in the category of men who love older women. I'm 30, but I prefer 35-40. They say women mature faster than men.. that's utter BS in my extensive experience.

    I have always liked older guys. I am 19, and my boyfriend is 27. I do not see myself ever being able to date a guy my age or younger. I love the age gap between me and my boyfriend. Also, since most guys take forever to mature, most guys my age are very immature and I can't deal with it :p

    I am 30. My husband is 34. If I were single I think between ages of 25 to like maybe 40?

    I'm 20 and currently dating a guy who is 30. I think that would probably be as high as I would really consider. I'd probably go a year younger than myself depending on the guy but that would be it.

    I like to pick em up young then send them off to Carrousel once they reach 30.

    You could make the crystal in my hand glow red any time.

    Except of course I'm married, and Carrousel would have been a LONG time ago. But the Sandmen haven't found me yet.

    I don't think that it really matters. I have dated 2 older guys one 36 and one 33. I have always told myself that I wouldn't date someone younger but then again if it seems right I would probably go for it!

    I'm 36 and have no hard age cap, but I'm not into steel wool. On the low end, I'd say mid-twenties.

    As for the posts about older guys about keeping up... go ahead and try me, I've got cardio for days.

    cardio for days, huh??!!!

    I've always preferred older guys. I had a rule that I'd never date anyone from my year in school. Mostly because it was too much drama and no privacy, but partly because guys my age always seem so immature.

    Typically I don't date younger men, so I'd say maybe 27 at the very youngest (I'm 30). As for older, probably early 40's as a cap.

    It would depend how much money she had.

    I can go plus or minus 10 years age range, but might make exception based on the compatibility of the the person.

    I would a draw the bright line at anyone who age would be equivalent to a possible child or parent to me (18 years younger or older). :noway: I am narrow-minded like that. :tongue:

    I've dated younger and I've dated older. I'm 27 and my current girlfriend is 46. I think maturity, compatibility, life experience, and chemistry has more to do with things then age. :wink:

    I'm married, and 25, but when I was on the market I did not date anyone more than a year younger, and would consider seeing someone up to 10 years older.

    ETA: I dated both men and women, historically, if that adds perspective.

    In dating, do you have an age cap as to how old they can be? Or how young?

    If you do what is it? and how old are you?

    I won't date anyone younger than 27 (I'm 25) or older than 37. The youngest I'd date is pretty solid. 2 years older than me, the cap though, is a bit flexible. I dated a guy that was 39 when I was 22, and I think that's why I won't go back over that cap...
    Well, that leaves ME out.... :laugh: I'm 56........

    Well, I have had to put a cap on my dating other people altogether when I got married. ; )

    I've never really had an age cap, but I've always tended to prefer people around my age. Whether a little older or younger - no big deal. I think that the only problem that I personally have with big age differences is the lack of common ground.

    25-40 would be ideal.

    I am 20 and my fiance is 3, almost four years older than me.

    If I was single though, it wouldn't be more than 27 for me and no way, I don't do younger guys.

    What's a date? I think I forgot, because I haven't been on one in years...I prefer my men older, but I am getting a lot older myself, so I think my cap is getting smaller. I am 37, and just can't picture myself with someone over 50. I have dated (and married) men (and women) anywhere from 4 years older, to 17 years older (when I was 24, I was with someone 41). I only dated younger than me, other than high school, once, and that was a huge mistake. I was 27, and he was 20, but still lived at home, and his mom was very involved in his life. Too involved.

    My range is 28-50

    I'm somewhere in the middle-ish of that

    1/2 your age + 7 is the youngest you can go.... It just works

    Youngest...25, but it's not set in stone...and is really dependant on the person.

    Oldest, normally around 35...but again, someone special going to make that limit disappear. Probably more easily than a younger girl would have it.

    Oh, and for the record...I'm 37.

    When I was 20 I dated a 40 yr old. When I was 40 I dated a 25 yr old. As long as we can carry on a good conversation age is just a number. Besides, at my age I can't be picky!! :smile:
