I'm 52 m
I've been with a woman 12 yrs younger than me (2 yrs ago). I did not know she was that young until we were semi-serious. I found her mature and grounded.

I've been with a woman 6 or was it 8? yrs older than me as well.

I love to go biking with my current honey (she is 55) as well as hiking. We spent three days sea kayaking in the San Juan Islands (near British Columbia) and saw Orcas. She still does a mile swim every year down in Oceanside, Calif. I work out 4-5 times a week and bike to work (5 mi each way). I don't watch TV (not hooked up to cable or dish) and walk my dog twice a day.

I saw an article on the Baby Boomer generation (me)is more active, more healthy than pervious generations. I believe that we exemplify that. My idea of a vacation is not laying on the beach.

You may be hanging out at the wrong places to find these couch potato guys.

Insofar as my age range, I prefer someone who is mature, grounded and at the same "place" in their life as me. That means someone who is younger for I have two children who are 16 and 12 (living with their mother). Most women my age range are empty nesters, retired and want to go and "live" and travel. I not only have younger children but been out of work for 4 years and getting back on my feet with working so retirement is not soon either.

I'm a 22 year old female. I do not, and haven't ever, been very attracted to guys my own age. In general, I prefer at least 5 years older, though I would say a minimum of 25. My upper limit is not as defined....maybe 37? I'm not sure.

I have girlfriends who do online dating, and most of them prefer a man within 5 years(either younger or older) of their own age. None of them want to date a guy 10 years or more older. These women are in their 20s and 30s.

I'm a 24 yr old female, my dating range would probably be from 25-35, but if I met someone outside that range that I really liked, I'd probably bend the rules a little.
