I'm 36 years old and I usually narrow my search to between the ages of 34-41. I was wondering how far from your own age do each of you search?

About the same parameters as you on either side of my age. I am 31, and I usually seek out men 28-36. I find that I don't get along with or relate to men much younger or older than that.

At 34, my age limits are 31-41, though men at the upper end of the limit can be a little difficult to relate to.

Same for me, 50 to 57 and I am 52. I would go younger but the odds of men looking at someone more than 2 years older than I am are pretty slim so I quit looking, although I have found a lot of younger men attractive and have been involved with ones as much as 7 years younger. It seems though that a lot of women, my sisters for example who end up with men 12 - 15 years older. They have no idea how time change the difference in age when the man enters old age and the woman is still active, young and vital.

I have been involved with a woman 12 yrs younger than me but when I do my "search" I start with the range 45 to 53. I am 53.

My last relationship was with a woman who is 55. I had trouble since there was an undercurrent issue of her being "older." She had an issue of looking (and feeling) old. It had a lot to do with her going thru menopause I think. I think from that experience I did not want to be involved with anyone older.

I figure that where the woman is at in her life is as important. I have two non-custodial children who are 13 and 17. Most women my age are empty nester grandmothers. They are at a different place in life than me. They may be retired and/or want to travel, etc. I share my time and energy with my children. I believe in order to have a partner then she needs to understand. I think another single mom would have the same outlook which means usually she would be 10 yrs younger or so.

I'm 23 and usually seek out men 26-33. I'm finding every guy my age just wants to party every weekend and I'm definitely not about that!

The last 3 LTR I had, the men were 9, 14, & 10 yrs older than me. I usually go for older men, but I recently met a man on OLD and we are just starting a relationship. He is 4 years younger than me (go figure). I am 53 and have never felt better. Life is good!
