I'm not scared, I've dated younger men, I've had long term relationships with men younger as well. I'm just older now and don't see a relationship happening with me and a 25 year old anymore..

Not scared but there is a limit to how young. Just don't date men who are my daughters ages....it just feels weird. So 10 yrs....hmm maybe 15 yrs younger at the most.

I'm with you squirrly, I find younger men a perfect fit and in fact spent 5 years with a fellow 9 years younger. But..... there is a limit and as you said, dating a man my son's age - nope, not gonna happen. It's apparent to me the attraction is purely sexual, a younger man looking for an older woman to expand his experiences - all good if that's what you want - I chose not to be a teacher. No disrespect intended, just the reality of where we both are in our lives and what we want with a partner.

Most of the men I've dated have been younger than I am...from 2 years younger to one that was 15 years younger...and the latter was much more mature than the guy I dated that was 12 years older than me, lol.

It's not the age that matters, it's the mental and physical chemistry that counts...and that has no age limits.

never really had to many that shyed away after they got to know me.. its always.. "you are like right on my borderline on age" i say you know what, its only numbers, and if your gonna let that bother you, then its your loss. you dont know what you would be missing out on...
if your attracted to someone, why let numbers bother you, if the attraction is there and the chemistry is there, then DO IT TO IT!!

I know that I'm sure as heck not afraid of it, though I usually tend to date older.

It's all in how you relate to people, so if someone is five years younger than you and you get along with them really well, it's just as likely to work as if you were dating someone ten years older whom you got along with really well.

well I have had a few encounters with young men (mainly on the dance floor ) but I have yet to find one that could satisfy my needs - I wouldn't rule out a much younger guy altogether if he was the kind of person I am looking looking for but dating a teenager would be too much, they sure are cute to look at but when your own children are teenagers it would just seem too weird for me at this point in time - but who knows what the future holds maybe when I am a pensioner I might fall in love with a twenty year old as Love can get you at any time and the age barrier is created more by others than by the people themselves.

I've always dated men younger than myself. As a matter of fact, my current man's birthday is TODAY! He's a whole 37 years old today (and has more grey hairs than I do!)

It used to bug me, for some reason I had decided I only wanted to date a man older or the same age. I have decided it is stupid to reject someone based solely on age. There are a lot of great guys out there that are younger than me. If two people enjoy each other who cares what society says is "acceptable"

holy cow - Well no-one has ever called me that before? LOL
I have been busy on the pole!
and after spending a good few hours reading various threads on the forum I think it may be prudent and safer for me to stay where I am - plus I don't really like long flights as I am a smoker,plus I figure the guy can come to me cos I am definitely worth it

I married a much younger man, with no terrible side effects! Wore him out and cast him aside long ago tho. Seriously, I wouldnt hesitate to date a man of ANY age, whatever it may be. Of course I have my preferences but age doesnt come into it EVER! Ive dated a man half my age recently, but found him OLD and BORING !! And Ive got a man almost 20 years younger than me who I like very much and plan to meet soon.

I do wonder why young guys want older women and of course some will have warped and pervy reasons, but on the whole i personally am prepared to meet anyone who I get to know online and think may be good to get to know in the flesh.

Not scared at all, have dated many younger men, I try to stay clear of ones that were born after I was a full grown adult.

Maybe in England, where the OP is from, women are less interested in the May/December dating arrangements. But in the US it seems to be a trend which, I think, has increased in the last 10 years. I've dated plenty of women who were 10 years older or more. So in America I can say without a doubt that plenty of older women have nothing against dating younger guys.

My dating range has always included women who were from 5 years younger than me to women who were 10 years older than me. It's all about compatible personalities to me. So I don't really have any hard and fast (no pun...) rules about age limits.

forgot about the side-shot. That doesn't count and you only have three when you could have eight so stick some more up (pardon the pun)
