Age is not at all a factor if the two could understand and accept each other in a serious relationship. Not all but some older women are dominant characters that cannot be tolerated by men, I guess.

Id love to have a situation like this later if I am not with the person Im with now, a little younger is fun, maybe a lot younger would be even more so! (How bad does that sound?)

Older or younger if fine. I prefer 3 to 5 years, but will go as much as 10. I want to be able to come from the same cultural reference points.

Why are all the questions directed towards the men ? I'm going to flip your question around and answer it for the women, er woman .

I've dated younger guys and older guys - and I don't really have a preference, but I do require that they have some maturity. I've met men twice my age who still don't have it together, so although it seems like age should make a difference, in some cases it doesn't. I would be hesitant to date anyone that I considered to be "too young" though. Not that I wouldn't consider it, but I would have my reservations.

As far as older guys go, like men more than 10 years my senior, I've always been attracted to them but I'm always afraid that they would talk down to me or try to be in control. Not that I wouldn't be willing to try it out if I met the right guy. In general, I think age does make a difference but its not as important as people make it out to be. That is my piece of wisdom for today .

Younger in body and spirit, older in terms of emotional maturity. The actual number isn't that important to me.

Hilarious Huckleberry..Im sure there are still a few around...

As for myself, Ive found that throughout my dating life..most of the women i have dated have been at least 3 years younger. Even in High School, i can't recall dating any women my age..Not that i didn't try..It just always seemed that i had more things in common with someone younger as even my Buddies were younger..

That being said, i also have dated a few women who were say 3 years older..One of which would have made a pretty good match had she not been in a place where she had many things to get past..long story there..but anyhow,

Im almost certain that i will marry someone who is at least a couple years younger..as i myself are very young at heart..and look about 6-8 years younger then my age as well..I recently had someone i work with make the comment that they could see me pull off dating someone in their senior year of high School..not that i would...but it was something i had to laugh at..

I do believe there is a limit though.. i mean what, at my "youthfull" 34 would i have in common with someone just turning 21??..or even 23??..Ive already "gone through" all the motions..and while a Friday or Saturday night out is fine..i have better things to do then spend my life in a nightclub...already been there..Those days, as great as they were, are in the past..

Now, as far as what "age range" if you might call it that.. i am hoping my future wife might be in..Id say between 26-30..though if i met the right woman..and she was my age..or a year or two older..yet still youthfull,..in a positive way, i wouldn't pass her up...

For me, it is all about enjoying as much of life..while you are there to enjoy it...and it is always nice to have someone beside who can keep up...or challenge you to keep up..
