umm, no. I lie about my age sometimes, but I admit to lying about it, I would never play the "I forgot my age" game.

When I was that age, I liked men who were roughly my age or younger. Definitely no more than 5 years older, ever.

Well then take good care of yourself and remain young at heart and you will be fine. I work very hard to stay in shape and healthy, in my line of work I see a lot of terrifying stuff, I see a lot of those guys who have " Grown Up Matured And Act Their Age" and I have to say No Thanks, I rather not. It is not pretty believe me. Stay young and raise hell and enjoy life to.the fullest and those who don't like can look the other way.

You know, the age range is kind of weird too...23 to 32. That's a BIG step (from just getting out of college or being in college still to established career). I think a lot would depend on where a woman is in her life. I know it did with me. At 23, I might entertain the idea of someone up 3-4 years older than me... AKA someone else in college such as a grad student (but even they seemed "older"). But someone out in the work world with a career was miles away from where I was in life.

At 32 I wasn't looking, but I probably would have considered someone 5 years older--another "working professional years away from retirement." Right now, I would consider someone up to 8-10 years older. Although to be fair, I did date a man 12 years older than me. But even then, his age was a bit of a sticking point for me... I kept thinking about how if we stuck together he would be old and I would be his nursemaid someday or that he would retire a full decade before me, etc. The age gap was something I didn't like, but over looked because I liked him for everything else.

My husband is 25, I'm 26. Would I of ever dated a man more than ten years older? No. Do I see the benefits? Yes. It's just not conducive to the sort of lifestyle I live and plan to live.

I am 25 and if you add your age and your husbands age together.. My b/f would still be 4 years older

The maximum I would date is 10 years older than me. I dated a guy who was about 20 years older than me (he was 50) and I would never do that again. He as always saying "you kids these days" or whining about my generation or reminiscing about the 70s. It annoyed the hell out of me.

A 45 year old man dates a 25 year old woman. People notice and notice a lot and judge. the two are really in love and marry. Twenty years go by. Twenty happy years. The man is a fit 65 year old still with a zest for life, the woman now 45. Nobody bats an eye at them or even notices much. Happens all the time. Rare, but it happens.

True love comes in all shapes and sizes and ages as well. If you truly believe in the idea of "soul mates" and heart compatibility, do you think those laws of the universe know an age? A heart and soul is a heart and soul, not a number attached to an age.

Just my two cents worth.
