I actually liked that article :-) I've dated some guys younger than me truth be told and I find it flattering at times. One of my best friends, she is 28 and her bf if 21....and he ain't your typical 21 yo, either, not IMO anyway. I've met him and he's a pretty nice guy & seems to be grounded and knows what he wants in life. I remember when I was that age, I was wild & didn't give a flyin flip. Yeah, those were the days lol.

Ya know, I like 'em younger, but I don't think I could go that young.

I thought of you when I saw it was from the Boston Globe.

Same here. I think the youngest I would go is 25 and none younger. Granted I'll be 30 in April, I think the oldest I would go for would probably be 34, maybe 35. My best friend A, she doesn't seem to mind dating J who is seven to eight years younger than her. Oh,...and I forgot to mention, another good friend of mine, she is 27 and her hubby is 20 currently deployed in Iraq. He's a nice guy,....but I wouldn't want to marry/date someone who is that much younger than me. But that's my own personal preference. I did date a guy who was about eight years younger than me one time.....needless to say, he was really immature as well and someone I just couldn't see myself with, you know?

I find younger men easier in some ways then guys my age, for numerous reasons. My soon-to-be ex of 18 years was 19 yrs old when I met him..I was 25 with children.


Just recently I had a fling with a 29 year old Army guy home on leave from IraQ...not bad when I am 42 ;))


Fun to play with, maybe not so much for marriage though...at least for me.
