    I'm 21. I wouldn't date any younger, and would go up to about 30.

    30 to 40. I'm 34. I usually prefer younger than though; I've never actually dated anyone older than me.

    I'm 26 and I never date people younger then me. I always feel like they are on a completely different path in life then me. I'd date someone 26-35.

    My late husband was 18 years older than me. My current husband is 7 years younger. Blessed twice, so age makes no difference to me.

    If I were dating again I'd do the half your age plus seven rule....so 25 - 40 is about right, maybe older depending on how well she takes care of herself \m/

    My husband is 6 years younger than me and I never dated or thought about dating anyone that much younger before ... keep your options open folks and don't rule out someone based on age alone ... says the 40 year old woman with the 34 year old husband, :smooched:

    I'm 39. I can barely tolerate guys my own age, so I probably wouldn't date any further down than about 35. As for the high end, my ex husband is 60, and my current boyfriend is 58. I don't think I'd go higher than 60, though.

    My boyfriend is 18 years younger than me, when we're through, I'm through. Could never imagine dating a man my age.

    I'm 25...I'd say 18 (as long as they were out of high school) to 35. Maybe up to 40...it depends.

    I mainly like older men. Ive only dated one guy my age. He was an *kitten*, nuff said. My husband is 40...im 30 Hes almos 11 years older than me. I dated a guy 16 years older than me, I was 20 he was 36. I dont think I would date anyone older than my parents though...just couldnt get past that weirdness.

    If I'm attracted to them, then I'm attracted to them.

    Girls under 20 don't tend to have the maturity I like (but that doesn't mean some don't - I've got on pretty well with various less-stereotpyical uni students in the last few years - and further, that's not suggesting I'm in any way 'mature' myself :-P) and generally I wouldn't go much over my own age of 33 - but I certainly wouldn't care about a number if the other stuff was right.

    I've only dated one younger guy and he was only 8 months younger than me. I prefer older guys and the oldest guy I dated was 15 years older than me when I was 20 (though, I only thought he was 10 years older than me... translation: HE LIED). So, I'd say, 30-40 (I'll be 32 in July).

    18 and 19 year olds have the maturity that I like ;)

    I dated someone 5 years younger and on the flip side thought of dating someone 19 years older (until he turned out to be a racist crazy guy).

    Happily married to a man that is 8 years my senior. Never dated someone much younger.

    My age or older. I ain't got time to train a new puppy. Unless the bank roll ends in millions, then age is no matter. :laugh:

    I'm 30. Strangely enough, most of the guys I have dated have either been younger (by as much as 3 years) or older by 5 to 10 years.

    Being more self-aware now and more sure of what I am looking for, I would say I prefer 5+ years older as a general rule. That is not to say I wouldn't date someone younger or closer to my own age. I know not everyone fits the stereotypes. But these days, it seems that guys resist becoming adults until they're in their late 30s.
