OK... how old is "too old" ???

I'm 24 but I usually date older guys... the oldest was 11 yrs older than me... I never saw anything wrong with this until someone recently said that I was 'sick' for dating someone that much older....

so I wanna know what's the oldest or youngest you guys will go for. Especially the ladies...

I'm 27.
I probably wouldn't date a woman who was younger than 21(Still too much growing up to do, from what I've seen), and probably not older than 28/29.

I don't have any kind of age rules or anything that I would adhere too...these are just what comes to mind when if you ask me for an ideal age range for a woman i'd be more likely to date.

Most women I know like to date older men, and most guys I know like to date younger women.

Well in my oppinion age is a state of mind. I am 22 and my fiance is 32 so I don't think age matters. It's all about how you feel for the other person. I was always told you can't help you fall in love with (race age religion or anything that makes you two different). So I don't think age matters at all or atleast it shouldn't!

I believe the silly little rule for men is 1/2 your age + 7.

If you're 20, 20/2 = 10 + 7 = 17. Go find a 17 year old or older.

If you're a 24 year old female, in reverse it'd be 24 - 7 = 17 * 2 = 34 So don't go looking for guys older than 34

The rule is silly of course, but it makes a little bit of sense sometimes...

If two people are attracted to one another, I do not see age being a concern if you are of legal age for an adult type relationship. Of course if someone is 65 dating a 21 year old, be ready for a lot of gossip when folks find out that the person your with is not your grandparent.

If the relationship gets serious enough for marriage, then a large age difference, lets say 10-20 years for an example can be harder on the younger spouse which will be dealing with the older spouse’s health issues about the time the younger spouse was getting ready to start enjoying their retirement (golden) years.

However, if the nasty old horny cradle robber is filthy rich go for it.

I'll only look up or down 2 years for now because I'm lookin for someone at my experience and maturity level. I figure that's about a good age range to find it. Once I'm outta school and workking I think I'll expand the range. However ... if I find someone that makes me happy then there's my range...screw what other people think and say. Let's remember that our country doesn't have the best history of tolerance in personal relationships.

Rules be damned! Who cares how old pple are...this coming from an 'old' guy :P

I think the most important thing is compatibility. And generally, the older one gets, I think the 'accceptable' range increases. For example: a 15 year old dating a 25 year old is just creepy, but a 25 year old dating a 35 year old isn't.

However, if one is old enough to be the other's parent no matter how old they are, that's a problem IMHO.

I think if two people care about each other enough, as long as they're both of legal age, then it is acceptable. Sometimes people make comments about the older men dating the younger women because they're just jealous that they're not getting in on some of the younger action too. Instead they deal with their older wives and their low sex drives.

I think that the most important factor is what stage you are in your life. For example, I was 20 and was seriously dating a 29-year old mother of four. We were very compatible and happy, but because I was in a stage of life where I wanted to have my own kids, I had to end it (very difficult decision I might add). However, if she had no kids things may have been different. I am 33 and married, but if I was still single, I would consider girls from their early 20's to the mid 40's, depending upon their maturity level and stage of life. Follow your heart, but look at the global picture of compatibility throughout your future. I think that I just confused myself

I don't really care about age but I guess the youngest I would date is 18. I'm 26 so 6 yr difference isn't that bad is it? Well I don't care what people think as long as I don't do some R kelly shit I'll be good.

Evil Genius · 01-28-2005, 12:36 PM

Men are like wine, women are like cheese. Of course, I would only be able to utter half of that before my wife would punch me.

And ironrice, that difference is 8 years (dog years too).

BreaKaoss · 01-28-2005, 01:25 PM

maturity has a lot to do with it for me. i dated somebody just two years younger than me and she drove me crazy. the relationship only lasted two weeks. ideally i would like somebody close to the same age as me with about the same maturity level. i would rather grow old together than my wife being 10 years younger or older. as i grow older, i think 5+/- years will by limit.

I hear ya on that one. When I was 20 I was dating a 28 y/o mother of two. I really don't think that age matters a whole lot. It's all about how you fit with the other person. I have a hard time dating girls younger than me (deal breaker if they can't get in a bar) cause the maturity level just doesn't seem to be there. I'm only 23 but usually find myself attracted to women 25 or over. Unfortunately for me they usually want someone older and want to have a family as well. All that being said, I believe your heart chooses for you

Watch out all you rich, older men on the board...I think princess is thinking of pulling an Anna Nicole Smith on one of you.

Were you asking this question out of curiousity, or is there a particular older/younger man in your life that you're interested in pursuing?
