Age range in dating....
- Thread starter Warped9
- Start date
Ditto. But now, not under 25.
I'm 27, and if you had asked me six months ago, I would have told you 25-35. However, I recently fell for a guy who is 42. (The odd thing is that I went out on a date with a different 42 year old guy who seemed way too old.) For the most part, I think age is just a number.
I'm 40 and sometimes feel dirty looking at females under 30. The kicker is that a lot of people (men and woman) put me in my late-20's.Good for you!
I don't really have a range, though I always seem to slant younger than myself. Then again, I tend to attract girls who are into older guys...
My wife is 3 years younger than me. When I was 19, I dated a 14-year-old. Nothing sexual was going on there, though, largely due to maturity issues. (Actually, I didn't end up having sex with her until she was 19.) I don't have sex with anyone lightly, especially if there is a maturity deficit. I'm currently 28 and seeing a 19-year-old, but she's incredibly smart and mature. I know another girl that's 18 that I would never date because she's dumb as a box of rocks. Age isn't so much a factor for me as maturity and personality. Having female friends ranging in age from 13 to 45, maturity is only sometimes a factor of age. I've known some really bright and mature teenagers and some remarkably stupid 40-year-olds. So, I try not to put too much stock in the age part of it. I wouldn't have sex with anyone under 18, regardless of the law, though. I know the age is 16 and lower in some places, but I would be hard-pressed to find someone under 18 that would be adjusted and responsible enough to handle it.
I'm sure someone will be along to tell me they had sex at a young age and are just fine.
Seriously, I am not attacking anyone here, it's just my own preference to keep things from getting too messy.

Smart also isn't school smart, I did horrible in school, and on my SATs. Someone I went to school with did better than me on the SATs and probably in school, but she was the dumbest fucking human on the face of the Earth. She was so stupid I'm amazed her brain could figure out how to breathe. I can hold a perfectly fine conversation about anything.

Age is pretty irrelevant. Just make sure the other person is legal.
(especially considering the amount of women who seem to have a need to be kept safe, going for older daddy-ish people.)

Yeah, book smarts are different. There is a maturity aspect that is totally separate from book learning. It's not really something you can be taught, although I'm sure it is built on how you are raised.
The other girl can't manage her money at all, texts while driving, dates guys who treat her like crap then whines about it. Sometimes I think I only put up with her at all because I feel sorry for her.
I'm 20 and am dating someone that's 25 right now. I wouldnt go less than 18 (however I don't think I could do younger but I've been proven wrong before). And I dont think I'd go higher than 30, or at least not too much higher. I'm generally really flexible on these kinds of things. So long as the individual wasn't some sort of serial rapist I'm ok.
I don't really have a range, it'd all be dependent on the maturity of the person. But I've been out with someone 17 years older than me, and 4 years younger.
I'm 33 and I'll go about 7 years in either direction.
But if I really like someone slightly out of that range I won't let age stop me...at least to a point. I wouldn't date say, an 18 year old or a 50 year old woman. At that point, you make a reference to something and they have no clue what you're talking about.

I am 31...um 10 years either way 21-41.
When I was 25 I dated 2 women who were 15 years older than me. I never dated anyone younger than me since I was in HS. like me being 17 and they being 15 or 16...every since I was 18 it has been much older.

About five years younger, and about three older. I won't make an exception for young girls unless they can show they have brains. Looks aren't everything.
I'm 22. I tend to prefer girls 22-24. I've dated girls that were as young as 18 though... wouldn't recommend it. And the older I get the more I realize it's creepy to flirt with incoming freshmen.
Certainly not younger.
I have dated a man eight years younger than me (he was 31, I was 39) and I have dated a man 18 years older than me (I was 26 and he was 44). Of these two men the older one whose age was the most suitable for me. Unfortunately, after I had dated him for several months, his inherit racism made itself apparent and I didn't want him voicing his opinions around my children so I broke up with him.
I've always gravitated around older girls (my friends are almost always older than me too. I guess I just act and feel older than my numerical age).
Currently I'm 31, and I would say no less than 25 (college girls give me headache) and maybe no older than 40-ish, but it really depend on the woman. My fiancee is 37, and we stared dating when I was 19 and she was 25.

Gold.The we'd just refer to you as "Oldfast".I suppose I'd think differently if I was 60 and eyeing up a 50 year old.
For a permanent relationship, I'd say about twelve years would be the cutoff. It would be weird to think that one partner is old enough to be the other's parent. 
That's not set in stone, though.
For a more casual relationship, who cares? The oldest woman I ever went out with was fourteen years older than me. That was unusual, though. I'd say that all the rest were within two, maybe three, years one way or the other.
