    I'm 26, so MAYBE a year or two younger, to 5-7 years older. It's all about maturity and where one is in life, so there is leeway but these are just generalities.

    I'm 28, looking 21-27, but would most prefer about 23-26.
  • I am not all that concerned with age as long as the girl is mature and has at least some goals and direction in her life.

    This too. But for men.

    I am 39...........for a couple more months anyway. I would prefer 38-44, but will go younger, or older---depending on where they are in life.........

    Personally I'd be most comfortable with someone who is within approximately 5 years of my age (either older or younger).

    I am 30, would go down to 25 I think, up to around 45. Depends on their maturity level though!

    5 years on either side for me.
    Im 38.
    I married someone 13 years younger than me and that was BAD.

    I am going to be the odd ball I guess.
    I am 34 (35 next month) I prefer younger guys so 28-38 is really my range.

    Since I have never been married and childless I tend to have more in common with guys younger then me then older then me.

    I couldn't date anyone younger than 21, and probably older than 30.

    I'd say maybe no younger than 21 and not older than 29.

    I'm 28 and I'd consider 21-32, but realistically looking for 24-30.
  • No more dating for me but it was always no more than 4 years older and no less than 2 years younger.
    Once i dating a guy 9 yrs older and it was too much bc he was looking to settle down. But, before getting married i dated a guy 8 yrs younger and i had fun Lol!!!!

    I'm 46 and date in the 28 - 48 range (okay, there was that 24 year old last year), but seem to get along best with women 32 - 38.

    Lol I asked the question and never said my preference :)

    Anyways I can't go any younger than me and I'm 22 so I'll say about 23-32ish. :)

    what's that rule? half your age plus 7? lol. I say that, but for some reason most of the guys I actually like are 8-10 years older.

    My last relationship was with a guy 4 years younger than me. Big mistake! I think I'll stick with the older crowd from now on. I'm 29 and I think 39 would be my cap.

    I am 28. My parents are 11 years apart. So age for me is not such an issue, but I tend to date 29-37 range.
