    I'm 26, my last boyfriend is currently 38, but the oldest guy I dated is now 45. Age isn't really important to me!

    I'm 26, I would date up to age 32. So +6.

    Men over 35 who aren't married or established are like a big red flag.

    And I'm not attracted to significantly older men. Maybe because I have a good relationship with my father (ie. No daddy issues) and he is only 50.

    I wouldn't date younger, with one exception (someone I never got over) who is 11 months younger than me.

    Dating younger for me is not ideal, I have more responsibilities than most single 26 year olds : child, work school.

    Most younger guys or even guys under 30 have a hard time accepting that unfortunately.

    I'm 53 & very happily married

    BUT if I wasn't I wouldn't go younger than 30, giggly young girls drive me nuts

    & not much older, haven't had the hots for anyone over 55

    Not younger, and up to ten years older used to be my rule of thumb, now I'm happily in love with someone 16 years older than me and have never been happier. So I guess it depends on the person!

    Im 19 and would not date anyone my age or younger and would go up to age 35

    I'm 18, so most younger guys are still at the immature stage :laugh: . I'd go up to 23, maybe 24.
    when I'm older the age gap could be bigger, but for now no more than 24 even though the "formula" says 29

    the rule is half your age plus 7 is the youngest you can go. so, I guess for older... as long as you are within "half their age plus 7"

    I am 42 I would go either 10 up or down

    I'd only date probably a year down. Guys already tend to be pretty immature at my age so...yeah.

    I'd probably still want to stick with someone in their 20's though. I want someone who feels more like my equal as far as life experience is concerned.

    I'm 26 , I'd go 21 - 35 . I'd prefer the girl to be younger than me or same age but there are always exceptions

    34 here. I probably wouldn't date anyone more than 4 years younger or 12 years higher. That being said, my amazing husband is 10 years older and that's perfect!

    At 29, I'd likely be comfortable with 5 years younger and up to 10 years older than me, though I'd be willing to make an exception for the right guy.

    Any ! Beggars can't be choosers lol
  • 17-23

    I was into older guys, but Ive learned my lesson ;p

    I'd feel really awkward dating someone that wasn't born in the same decade that I was. Therefore, I probably would only date people between the ages of 24-30 (I'm 25). I have more of an allowance for being older...idk why but I've never enjoyed the idea of dating a younger man. Luckily, my boyfriend is 27 so it's perfect.

    Well, I'm married. I'm 35 and my husband is 38. If I weren't married I guess I'd go 5 years either way.

    I'm 22. 21 - 30 :flowerforyou:

    Generally not anyone younger, but my upward "limit" is basically non-existent. I would probably happily date someone + 20 or + 25 years older than me :) I'm 26 this year. My current partner is 11 years older than me.

    I'm 20- but go for guys between 24-34.

    I'm 20 ... Would consider someone who is 18-19 but it would be VERY unlikely. Most aren't mature enough for me. I think the highest age would be about 27-28 though my ideal is around 20-25. My fiance is 21 (turning 22 in June) and his age is the perfect match for me, honestly.
