    For me age is pretty unimportant. Character, maturity, values, personality, humor... those things are not dependent upon age and are far more important to me than how many birthdays someone has celebrated. But then, I'm married to a man 19 years older than I am and we've been together for 16 years, so what do I know?

    I'm 19, I'd probably go for 18-25. Current boyfriend is about to turn 22.

    I'm 26, so 22-35...Although I've never been with anyone younger than me... A 22 year old might make me feel like a grandma. :/

    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.
