    I'm 25, I'd go + or - 5 years maybe...at the most. Under that and their too young for a decent relationship, over that and their too old for where I am at this stage of my life (wanting to get married, have kids soon etc.) I really would prefer someone around my age. For just a fling, it isn't so important lol but for a serious relationship it very much is.

    If I could actually find someone to date I wouldn't care the age dif. I don't know many single men at ALL. There are a couple widoweres at my kids' school that are a lot older than me. In that neighborhood, people had successful careers and kids late, so I always feel really young when I'm around the parents. Some of those older guys aren't interested in health and have many life threatening issues. That's what freaks me out. Anyone can change their habits at any time though & health issues can arise at anytime; so I'm not judging them for that. I just want to eat healthy, exercise, reduce stress, enjoy life etc...

    As far as younger guys, I wouldn't mind, but while I sit at home playing Wii and reading stupid comic books, I mentally think that a younger guy would assume I'm sooo old; raising an 11 an 13 yr old. Yet, I act kind of immature and like to be goofy at home, yet am going to school to be a doctor. So, I go out to school dressing and being all professional like.

    I'm 35. Most of my peers are partnered up, so I'm really clueless about relationships at this age?!?

    My biggest difference was when I was 29 and I was dating a 38 year old from Northern England.

    He couldnt keep up with me sexually and he was tired and ready for bed pretty quick, even though he was a partier.

    I need a guy younger than me. Like.. forever.

    There aren't hard and fast rules. I've had great relationships with guys my age and I've had cruddy relationships with guys my age. I've had amazing sex with guys 15 years my senior, and I've had cruddy sex with guys 15 years my senior. I've had an amazing on-again off-again relationship with that same man (15 years my senior) that I ended for good on Monday because what I want from relationships has changed, and what he wants hasn't. It was tough to do but it raised an important point for me:

    Regardless of the age difference, make sure you're on the same page w.r.t. what you both want.

    being on the same page is definitely the most important thing.

    Having children would definitely be an issue. However, if both people decide they don't want to have them, that could make the decision to pursue a long-term relationship a little easier. I guess if the woman changes her mind down the road about having kids, she's kinda SOL.
