    The real question is how far up and down your weight would you date?
    I thought it was asking if you'd date a butterface.

    I'm 26- so 24-40s (I say 40s because at that point it really depends on the individual and how they wear/act their age etc)

    I'm 40.

    From experience... 32-50.

    My current "crush" is 32 and it seems to work fine. I've also recently dated a really hot 50 year old. So yeah... Whatever... I'm game!

    I married the only woman I ever dated, 32 years ago. I don't have a clue what dating is anymore!!!

    But it seems to me that if you have shared interest +/- 10 years or so seems natural (provided they're over the age of 17 :tongue: ).

    I generally stay within 10 years either side (28-48), but I've stretched it to 17 years older and 15 years younger. Yowza! I'm an equal opportunity dater.

    I'd prefer 5 years up or down, just to keep it in the same generation. I want to have something in common, you know, like familiar pop culture references. My in-laws are 15 years apart and they just don't get each other's jokes or cultural references or anything. I love being able to say, "Remember that?" and have my husband totally get me. But to each her own.

    I'm 46. I get hit on by a lot of 20-somethings. They are fun to play with : )

    +/- 10 is my usual limit.

    I've dated 7 years older and 11 years younger. Both long term - 7 and 8 years respectively.

    The real question is how far up and down your weight would you date?

    I don't go by weight. I go by similar fitness goals. I mean my husband is a lot taller and more muscular than me, and I'm pretty slim, so of course he's gonna weigh a lot more than me. But I know what you're getting at. Someone like me needs a partner who is a bit more active, outdoorsy, and into healthy habits. I wouldn't be happy with a total couch potato or someone who spent a lot of time in a buffet line. It's all about shared values for me. My man doesn't need to be perfect - he can even carry a few extra pounds, but he needs to show a certain level of respect for his health and be willing to go out and do the kinds of active things I like to enjoy.
