Hello All !
I am curious about what the general perspective or concensus is, on the following questions;
Where do you draw the line on how young of a gentleman you would consider dating ?
(i.e. 2 yrs., 5 yrs. 7 yrs. etc. )

Interested in hearing message board members opinions :) LM

My ideal partner would be about the same age. Maybe a couple of years older.
I would be wary of someone over 50 unless he was in good shape. And I have seen guys in their 50s who are in better shape than guys in their 20s or 30s.
It just depends on the person. Probably + or - 5 years is ideal but up to 15 is okay, too.
Welcome!! Tell us more!!
I'm not single anymore, living with my SO but preferably I would not date a man more than a year or two younger than me and no more than five years older than me.
My SO is about 8 months younger than me and it really doesn't make any difference. I guess if I were still dating and I met someone who was outside my preferences age wise that I really liked, I'd be willing to give it a try.
Interesting question.

I think as a young woman I was much more mature than most of my friends. They were all out partying, getting drunk and having casual sex, while I was hitting the books, finishing my undergraduate degree and trying to land a good job. I attracted and was attracted to more mature men.
Now, I've got all that behind me and I can enjoy life. I've got the degree (and more on the way) and the great job. After I separated from my ex-husband, I felt carefree and young again, so I attracted alot of young men. The youngest to hit on me was 22 (I was 31) and I think right there was where I drew the line at just fun friends, no romance.
It's how well your maturity levels match that matter. I know a 30-something guy who is the maturity equivalent of an 18 year old and vice versa...so...I don't think you should get too hung up on the age.
My SO is a year and half younger than me, but it never really crosses our minds unless someone asks.
(i.e. 2 yrs., 5 yrs. 7 yrs. etc. )
I've dated someone 16 years younger than myself. That's my limit...I don't date a guy who's under 30. I don't personally think men are worth much before that. I tend to think that will always be my policy, though if I'm still dating at 70 I may want to up the limit.

I've never dated someone my own age. Someone a couple of years younger, yes. I KNOW men who are 56 that I would date if they were single, but they're not. Their wives are smart enough to keep them around.
For me it's all how a man treats me, and if he keeps me interested with good conversation and lots of snuggling. Age isn't that big a factor for me. Everyone tells me I look ten to fifteen years younger than my age anyway, and I act a lot younger than that. LOL
I'm now married to an older guy. Only by three years. He's wonderful. But if he were older than that and treated me the same or younger and treated me the same, I'd be with him anyway.
