    (Hint: physical maturity)
    Indeed; I wasn't going to go in to liking specific bodytypes for fear of an internet-beating :P.

    What about the "formula?" Minimum age to date is half your age + 7? Oldest age to date is two times (your age -7).

    Based on this I can date anything from 29.5 through age 83

    My personal rule is closer to my age than my oldest son's age (he just turned 18) and closer to my age than my dad's (he is 65) which means I can date 31.5 through 55.

    with job and kids, though..who has time to date?

    According to the "formula" I could date a 19.5 year old or a 43 year old but I wouldn't go for either. I'm willing to go a year younger or five years old but prefer a small age difference of a year or two between us.

    I am 31 and my husband is 44. Should he predecease me I would not do such a large age gap again. I am thinking 5 years older/younger would be my limit.

    According to that formula I could date someone as young at 22 and as old at 55....ummm...no thanks. :noway:

    Mmmm.... All depends really... I guess anything from mid-20's to maybe 45ish! Providing we have a lot in common and get on well and are compatible then that's the main thing!

    Typically, I'm attracted to people around my age. I think that I'm comfortable with about a max 8 year difference either way. Depending on the person/situation, I can be open-minded.

    The keys are physical attraction and emotional connection, or really big boobies! :laugh:

    24 through 44 :heart:
