Posted: 1/16/2007 10:57:35 PM | | I am 38 and most of my friends are in their 20's.....seems i just click better with younger people, so I think I would prefer to date someone younger than myself...not in their 20's but early 30's. That said I have not written off other age groups. | |

I know a 23 man who is has an older soul than I have.
I personally like hanging with older people in general, but as paths divert (almost all of my 30 something year olds are married), I find that I am hanging with people 25~30 more and I get a whole group of different mindsets. | |

Posted: 2/22/2007 11:28:58 AM | | I don't feel my age so I tend to want to date men that are younger. But it really doesn't matter what the real age a person is at. I mean if I was to meet a man in his 30's and is young at heart I would date him. I would like to meet a man that is in my age group but if it doesn't happen then I'm open for younger. | |

Posted: 3/19/2007 7:09:01 PM | | I would love to date a man my age I think they are sexy as hell know what they want know how to please a woman without being told what to do, can speek up for themselfs and tell you what makes them happy, can have fun and are open to change, and you can just sit down and talk to them and have a interesting conversation, its almost cut and dry with them and that's what i like about men my age i know where I stand with them and dont have to wonder if its going to happen with us or not. | |

Posted: 3/20/2007 4:50:42 AM | Well often preferences in age have to do with communication, but I tend to prefer men slightly younger than myself because I find older men possessive and controlling. It wasn't their age that originally turned me away from them,but their behavior. ( I look 10 years younger than I am). I want a mate not a slave owner. I found I was asked out by slightly younger men, because I looked like I was their age. So now if I am looking for a man to treat me well I go where I have had the most success.
Until a human gets to be about 23 they are considered to be adolecents by the world of psychology. This is because they are physically still growing, and their personality is still developing. By the time they are 27 they know who they are for the most part. I agree older people think they are wiser, which isn't a problem, but when they try and make your decisions for you then that is a prbolem.
Psychologically the Age Appropriate partner has not more than 5 years age difference.
I think you have a valid point. major age differences can have a good relationship, with shared values, interests, goals, respect, consideration, and excellent communication. It's less work with someone who recognizes your cultural references. | |

Posted: 3/20/2007 10:37:48 PM | | I actually have my settings to meet men age: 30 - 40. This is only my preference because I have dated men 16 years older then me and 7 years younger then me and had bad experiences with those age groups of men. I like to be within 6 years of a man so that we have some commonalities. | |

Posted: 3/20/2007 11:16:34 PM | I actually prefer dating women my age rather than younger women. I really like being romantic and that most of the time seems wasted on younger women who are more often than not in "party" mode.
Being romantic is one person sharing with another. That is very hard to do with someone who simply wants to go out and party all the time. I guess for me bars, concerts and other public places with lots of people arent great places to try and be romantic in.
Everyone is different and I know some feel much more at ease in that kind of setting. But for me women my age seem to enjoy more typical romantic settings. Quiet resteraunts, secluded beaches, picnics in secluded mountain settings, ect..
Not to say that you cant spend the day doing things in public and having fun as part of the day. Many times I have planned a day where I went to a party or a concert or a movie and had fun on a date. But that was always only part of a date.
It just seems to me that women in my age group start to enjoy other things than just partying all the time. And that is far sexier to me that someone who just wants to hang out with friends all night long. | |

Posted: 3/31/2007 9:13:34 AM | I tried dating someone younger only once, and never again. Ever try to have a conversation with someone out of your age group? It's probably the most frustrating experience because you spend alot of the time explaining what you say because they have no reference from which to "get it"
Makes it extremely difficult to connect with them on any other level than sexual .... guess it's ok if you are only looking for that. I need someone I can relate to and be friends with first before it gets to the sex.  | |

Posted: 3/31/2007 9:44:48 PM | | I am 35 next month and I haven't found any women around my age in ages. Would prefer someone 25-35 but in the last 5 years the only ones that have been interested have been either younger than 22 or older than 35. Where are the ones the right age? | |

Posted: 4/1/2007 10:34:39 PM | I was looking for a convo that was on this topic. I'm 35 yrs old, never been married, don't have any kids. I have just recently sort of in the process in my mind accepting the fact that any guys I go out with are going to have kids. Just cos of my age, and I want someone within my age range. I say 5 years older is enuff, going younger, only maybe 2-3 years younger. Is that limiting myself? I dunno. I"m confused
i'm gonna go read all the other posts and see what people say.

Posted: 4/2/2007 10:12:32 AM | | I am 40---try to stick to 35-43 age group. Why? Guys on average live shorter lives than women. So not only does he have to be approx my age or younger, he better be fit as I don't like sitting at home. Party? Dinner? Anything really just enjoy life. | |

Posted: 4/2/2007 10:24:16 AM | I'm getting to the point where I will only meet guys who are younger than me...........they tend to be the most honest and REALLY know what they want. At least I know where I stand with them! | |

Posted: 4/3/2007 10:11:13 PM | I would LOVE to meet a guy my own age, but none of them seem to share the same interests as me. I know if I lived in another part of the country that wouldn't be an issue, but here in the PNW they just all seem so.. boring.
Someone prove me wrong. PLEASE! | |

Posted: 4/4/2007 7:28:08 AM | | I'm 38 so I'll go as low as 25 since that gives the women 4 years to get the serious partying out of their system. Plus it's really hard to find a good woman who only has one child and wants more after they're 30 to 35. Hey, it's no knock on the women who have 2 kids and want more...they just tend to have lots of drama or issues. | |

Posted: 4/6/2007 12:39:10 PM | There actually was a time when I was only interested in girls my own age. I was six years old at the time.
These days, I'm happy to talk to, and meet pretty much anyone. It's all good variety and experience. But, ultimately, it makes me appreciate being with people my own age. | |

Posted: 4/6/2007 2:57:12 PM | I mean no disrespect, but sometimes I really wonder if the people who say age is a number really know what they are talking about. At this time, I tend to prefer gals within a few years of my age on either side of the 40 yard line.
When I was in my early to mid twenties, I was amazing mature for my age. I found most of the gals my age to be grossly immature. So I dated gals that were a LOT older than I was. In fact, my first two relationships were with several of these gals, one of which lasted over three years.
When I was twenty one, I dated a thirty one year old. That lasted a year or so, until differences in world view caused the walls to come tumbling down. My next one was forty, and I was twenty-five. We had a lot in common, and we really clicked. And it did work for , for three years. But what I did not realize at the time was that most people change more in their twenties than in any other part of their life. After three years, I was a different person, and she dumped me for an even younger model.
I came to realize that if I look long enough, there are still plenty of people my age I "click", as long as I can accept the fact that it was going to take longer as the dating pool has shrunk because most people at my age are married. Since then, I have not dated anyone over five years my junior or senior, and it has worked well for me.
Now I do acknowledge that it is possible for a relationship between two people with a large age difference to work. But when I think about, most of these types of relationships happen when neither partner was deliberately looking for someone a lot younger or older..... | |
