TOPIC: 25 years and up...dating questions??

I've dated guys that were my age and they just didn't do it for me.. I've always preferred older guys. Can't help it!

I used to date older guys, but we always had events in our lives tear us apart because we wanted different things. My current boyfriend is 13 months older than me and we've been going strong for 2 years :)

Well my husband is only 6 months older than me but if I were still on the market, I'd date older men.....like in their 40's.

I've never been with someone my age or younger (in any way actually) The youngest guy I've been with is was just under 4 years older than me. The guy I dated most recently and am still kind of with is almost 6 years older. Most of the guys I've been interested are in their late 20's. Maybe I'm mature for my age. I don't know. But I don't think it's that strange to date older. I don't find men my own age appealing most of the time.

I have no preference. I would date a 22 year old a 32 year old or a 42 year old it all depends on the person.

I refuse to come to grips that I am about to be 30. So yes I will be a cougar. I need my leopard print.

I have dated guys who were anywhere between 7 years younger(when I was 23) and 5 years older. I am not sure I'd want to go outside that range still. My current bf is about 2 years older than I am. We seem to be good so far. It's been a bit over 2 years now, as a long distance relationship.

Lol not too sure but the old guys sure are strange. I just ended things with someone who was in their early 40s when it turned out he had 40 years of issues and crazy habits. I'm gonna stick to my age range from now on!
August 08, 2012 21:16
I prefer my age range, typically no more than 5 years older and no more than two years younger. Anything out of that bracket freaks me out.

My boyfriend is 34 years old, I'm 27. He's 7 years older. Honestly I do not see the age difference in us. We love the same things, he's cool with my younger stuff that I like (like Rainbow Brite, Jem, etc lol), but we still can act like teenagers and don't have a problem with it. I honestly think it's all in the person that you meet and if it clicks. I've tried to date guys my age, never worked out. I just had one rule, if you are old enough to be my dad NO WAY. I never really thought about dating younger, as I knew I didn't want that, I wanted my age or older. Younger ones just weren't mature enough for me yet.

I'm 42 and seem to attract younger women. Women in their 20's and early 30's and I don't get it. I've dated 17 years older than me but not really anyone my age. I also seem to be a magnet for crazy because either they think I'm passive or my patience doesn't run out.

I'm 23. I don't feel like guys my age are at the "level" that I am at.
I feel like I'm more mature than most guys that I know my age.

My first serious relationship was with a guy 5 1/2 years older than me, and the guy I'm talking to now is 5 years older. I don't think I'd date over 10 years, but, I wouldn't stop myself soley because of age.

I completely understand..my guy is 36..im 32..we have more in common than someone my age..but i do think 10 years old and younger would be a big gap for me

Men reach their sexual peak in their late teens/early twenties.
Women in their forties

I'm guessing mother nature is a cougar :-)

I'm 28 and my boyfriend is 22. The age difference doesn't bother me now but I did feel a bit of a cradle snatcher when we started going out - 18 and 24 seemed a huge age gap at the time.

Most times people couldn't tell the age difference between us, the only thing is I'm desperate to get married and he's not ready yet. He's worth the wait and it'll happen eventually though :)

I know alot of men and women who will only date within their age bracket and they complain all the time. I will admit though I am 30 and my husband is 56. We have known/been dating each other 12 years come September and married 4 years last month.

Hmm. I'm 29 and I tend to date guys 30-35, I guess I consider that in my age range. I was on OKCupid for awhile and I did notice a lot of 30 something guys looking for women between 18 and mid 20s. I generally avoided those guys, that's just kind of creepy. If you're not emotionally mature enough to date in your age range you're not worth my time.

I'm 33 (at the end of the month) and my bf's 37. I did date a couple guys who were quite a bit older than me (ie 50's) but they ended because I was uncomfortable with that much of an age gap. Nothing wrong with the guy themselves. I have a cousin whose wife is 7 years older than him (he's 43, she's 50), another cousin whose 33 and her husband is 42, as well as friends where he's 29, she's 37. All have them have been married for at least 5 years if not longer. It's whatever works for that couple.

I'm only 22 but I thought I'd answer anyways. When I was 14 I dated a guy that was 19. At 15 I dated a 17 year old. My girlfriend and I were both 16 while we were together. After we broke up I got with my now husband who was 36 at the time and just turned 42. When our ages were 18 and 38 we were in a polygamous relationship and I had a 15 year old girlfriend. That relationship only lasted a ittle over a month because she moved. Now it's just the 2 of us and our 2 year old son.

IMPORTANT NOTE- THE AGE OF CONSENT IN MY STATE IS 15 SO NONE OF THIS WAS ILLEGAL!!!!!


I got totally lost reading this post... My brain hurts now. I think I'm too old for all this!


yup!
August 09, 2012 17:29
older women....yes please.

girls my age are generally lackluster in pretty much every category. not always, but most of the ones I come across in real life.

I'd date no younger than 20 and no older than 35.

Not really attracted to older, middle-aged guys. I like my men with a little more... stamina. >.>
