    Not too many years older because I'm too energetic for my age and maybe 15 younger just because! ;)

    Hell I'm already 61 so not much older. Younger, not sure but older than my kids.

    I'm married now but when I was single at 35 I was looking in the 25-45 category and realistically 30-35. Met a 31 year old and that was perfect. I tend to like guys who are younger or very close to my age.

    Since I haven't had children yet & am disabled (it's necessary to have someone that's more physical than me, to help care for our children; when I don't have the strength/energy to), I am strict about not going over 5 years (I'm 35 years old) but for mental maturity reasons, I typically won't go under 7 years.

    Since it isn't ideal for a healthy woman to bare children over the age of 45 & since I am unhealthy, I set my age limit for bearing children at 40. If I don't have children by then, then I can relax my age limit of the men; that I'd date because I'll get sterilized to ensure, that I can't even accidentally become pregnant. All I do know is that I desired to have my 1st child at 20 years of age, so I'd never date a guy whom'd be young enough to be my child; unless I live to be at least 100 years old or older because at that age, it'd be unrealistic to believe that I'd have a significant amount of men; to choose from.

    I'm 37. Never younger, but up to like a hot 60 (68 if you're Sammy Hagar) would be fine for some fun. Provided everything still works...

    My ex is 21 years younger than me and not one person questioned it. We look both in our early -mid 30's. He's 29, I'm 50; we lasted 5 years and yup, we still talk.

    I would never want to date a woman old enough to be my Mother........

    With that said, I always stayed in a 7 year +/-

    Btw, I think I'd make an exception to my "no one younger" rule for NEATo. Just sayin'.
