to all single ladies or any ladies with good advice..do you find it better to date men younger than you or your age or older? why is it better or worse? just curious because I am 35, single and I tend to date younger men usually between 21-30 but only because that's usually what I attract due to the fact I look younger than my age.....I know older men are known to be more stable..but I have also met younger guys who are also stable yet maturity level sometimes is not on the same level......what do you all prefer and think is better?
I will no longer date much under 30. Younger than that and they haven't matured enough yet to have a real relationship. I only ended up very disappointed.

The older guys I've met haven't really been any better than the younger ones, but I'd feel a bit creepy talking to someone younger than 25 or so...doesn't mean I haven't done it, but I don't feel like I could have anything serious with someone so young. Ideally, I'd like them to be within 6 years younger than me, so that would still be late 20s. Unfortunately, there are a lot of attractive guys who are younger than that. I look younger too, so it's not a big deal now, but as time goes on, I wouldn't want to look much older than him.

Idk.. I've met some guys who are younger who act a lot more mature and actually look a lot older than guys in my age group, and seem very commitment-minded.. something about dating a guy a decade younger doesn't appeal me.
However, peeling down the layers.. some of these guys are really great, and they are loyal and very mature, and they treat people with respect and are all around great contenders. But still. At least they are not tainted.
OP: It really depends on what you are looking for. Chances are, at 35, you won't find a meaningful relationship with a 21-year-old guy. But you could have a good time.
Generally, you should evaluate each person as an individual and not an age. Consider that someone significantly younger will likely be at a different stage of life than you are.
I am not in my 30's, just popped in though and wanted to tell you that I have known/know quite a few men in their 40's, 50's and 60's who still act like men in their 20's. And some of the 20-something men prob. are more emotionally mature than some of these.
I agree that it is individual. Age is really just a number. If I were in my 30's and single, and not interested in a serious relationship, I would just date people I am attracted to and ones who seem interesting....and if I had the chance to be with an unlined, fresh-faced, bright eyed gorgeous 21 year old with a nice bod and who is mature? Absolutely! Men have been dating younger women for years and I see nothing wrong with being with whoever you want to be as long as they are an adult. (Heck, I wouldn't mind finding one of those now

Ugh, I know, but I personally feel like a predator when it comes to really young guys. lol I know that they're ok with it, but it feels wrong to me. Like I'm trying to take advantage of a child.
It would be hard for me to date any younger than upper 20s... mid 20s would be a serious no-no!!
