For me? Anyone 21+! (I am 34.)As long as both people 21+ and consensual, I think there are always exceptions to age norms--there are people with a gap who really connect--BUT... I think if you have kids under 21, being with someone with a huge age gap is creepy!!! I used to read another astrology site where there was this woman who married an 18-year-old when she was 33, and he became a stepfather to her a 13-year-old daughter...I think that's a bit off. Put your kids first, your horniness/terror of being alone second. Step-parent situations are really, really tough anyway...but having a teenage boy raise and discipline a teenage girl, when he's there basically for the mother's gratification, is just yucky.

I might date someone a year or two younger (and that's it) or anywhere between my age and 15 years older.IP: Logged |

My father was 13 years older than my mother my stepfather was 25 years older than my motherI am almost 38 years old I look younger than my age,and I even sound even younger than how I look I just don't fit well with women around my age, I come off a bit too youthful in comparison to them I would say that 12 years younger than me is the youngest that I would go. My exgf, Meghann was 12 years younger than me. She and I really didn't feel an age difference.
I think that the actual best age for me is somebody 28 to 30 years old. I have never married,and I don't have children.
I don't smoke,drink,nor use drugs. I have also made dietary changes like in greatly cutting down fats,sugar, and that has led to steady continuous drops in weight. I also take multivitamins and fish/cod liver oils. my Mini Mental Status Exam that I took back in 2006 was 29 out of 30, and so I have no mental decline. I know that the fish/cod liver oil is doing the job. I won't have mental decline. I believe that if I can control my stress levels well, I can live beyond 90 years old. Raymond IP: Logged |

Age doesn't really matter... although the two people should really look at how they fit together and how well their lives can mesh. Maturity is also an important factor. I've always been attracted to guys 12 years older than me.IP: Logged |

I'm open to ten years either way... but I tend to go for younger. The reason for this is because I missed out on a chunk of my life, and didn't have the social experiences most people my age had. So I'm 29, but think of myself as a 24 yr old... thats where I'm at! ...my other reason is that I have mostly younger guys hitting on me - I look very young! the other day I went to buy some wine and I got asked for ID. The lady stood there and laughed at me - shaking her head... she just couldn't believe I was over 18! What the?My point is... everyone has had different life experiences, and as a result has different needs. I think its best to just go with what feels right. IP: Logged |

I don't have much in the way of age limit. But in reference to above, I can share about the custody battle tween Mom & Dad during the divorce. They were both trying to get me to choose them (when I wanted Granny), as it was a fight over child support payments, and I finally thought about just moving in with Dad since my so-called "court advocate" and Mom were forcing me to choose in the first place, but while visiting him I saw he had a 19-year-old living with him, dressed only in shirt & panties, and they kissed in front of me. I was 14 and majorly freaked out. Even if I could've gotten used to her and Dad together, I didn't see us getting along (she made friendly noises--but if Dad kept child support, he got more money to spend on her, but Dad was trying to bribe me with some of that support anyway which would surely cause conflict between us later on, and I definitely got a vibe that she really didn't look forward to me living there, nor was I about to accept any "authority" she tried to exercise over me). So, alas, I chose Mom. Not that I wanted either... IP: Logged |

I have been sexually, emotionally and intellectually attracted to a man 33 years my senior (when I was 17). So far I could not imagine going further than that, but in life- we don't know whats going to happen really. I never thought I'd end up with someone who is 14 years older than I. My last love affair was with someone who was 16 years older, and before that just 1 year. Love is Love.IP: Logged |

the age thing completely slips out of my mind... i never ever figured out what the deal is when it comes to ages. it's like gender and race and nationality, there may be differences but it's really at the personal level, isn't it?beside my father is married to a woman who is my age, i've been not really caring about it, if it works, it works... but i haven't had that much diversity myself, tho. i'm currently *with* a guy who's 15 years older without any "generation gap" type of issues. i was with 20-years older in the past, the youngest was only 5 years but i won't mind younger as long as it's working. the only thing i sometimes wonder is, if the age difference is really large, it's a bit sad when the older dies first when the younger is still pretty young!
