    41. Because that's how old my husband is....


    If I were single I'd probably "date" 25-45. I'm 33. I might do other things with boys 21-25 however....

    I'm old enough that I can use the "half my age + 7" rule of thumb as far as dating younger. Would I actually date someone that age? Probably not. That would put them slightly older than my oldest daughter.

    Is that a good wow, shocked wow, or bad wow...

    I generally use a rule of 5 years either side of my own age (I'm 39) but my ex fiancée is 12 years younger than me and I'd have no qualms going 12 years older if I was attracted to her.

    I'm 43.....youngest I would date would probably be around 38 and oldest would be around 48......

    I'm 33 and dated as much as +12 years and -5 years. Current boyfriend is almost 3 years younger and sometimes the difference in maturity really shows. Unfortunately, the difference also showed in +12 years where he'd look at the funeral home board every day we drove past it just to see who he knew that died lol. That's when I said, "oh...this clearly isn't going to end well..."

    well since I'm 45 and married I might as well make my range as unrealistic as possible...I'll say 22 - 32

    Ten years apart either way, unless there were special circumstances even though I HIGHHHHLLLLYYYY doubt that.

    Years means nothing really.... U can have a person who is 30y older but acting younger than someone 10y younger than u....
  • I'm 21. Youngest would be 18, oldest probably 35 but I wouldn't rule out someone older if I really liked them.

    This is all if I was single of course, which I'm not.

    The oldest could be about 70 because my neighbor is around that age, and trust me when I say he can run circles around a 30 year old. This dude is hip, buff (Broad Shoulders) and has a beautiful disposition.

    Hahaha I was waiting for someone to bring up the half my age + 7 rule. My boyfriend and I are half his age + 7 years apart :laugh:

    Youngest I would date is 21 gotta be legal for us to have a drink together. Oldest I'd have to draw the line at 60 when I was in my early 20's I dated a couple of women who were in their 50's. Age is just a number to me.

    Real talk......I have a "down 10 up 5 rule". It has worked out so far.

    Age really is just a number. The oldest I've dated was 20 years older than me. Usually preferred guys about 5-10 years older. My current boyfriend is only 11 months older than me, I like that we're the same age, although his maturity level sometimes seems to be far far lower... Buuuut I love him haha :p. I wouldn't date anyone younger than me. I don't know if it's because I've got a little brother or what the reason is, probably just my preference.

    I'm almost 43 and for the past three years, I've been living with a man 15 years younger than myself. It works out very well for both of us.....

    The youngest would be my age (25). I could never bring myself to date younger.

    Oldest would probably be early to mid 40's.
  • Well..I went out with someone 15 years older than me so il say the oldest is around 40 youngest is 22
