I do not wish to specify my age, but I generally aim most of my interest towards females which are, if not my age, either 1-2 years younger or 2-3 years older.

I'm 19, 20 in a few months :cry: Currently I'm going for someone i suspect is actually 17, though I've not asked her. I've had cybers with a 39 year old though, but she was hot, so that was ok. I seem to be very appealing to the 30+ age range for some reason, at least in chatrooms.

So, as long as they're not my mum's age or older, I could be tempted.

I've not seen a girl my age for a good while now, since I didn't go to uni. I dunno if they're still as retarded as I remember of if they've matured yet.

currently 20 and I'll get back to you on the other front, but generally I'm looking for someone between 18-23 currently. I take a note from Shakespear not to go for women much older than myself.

I'm 23. This past year I was going out with girls of the ages 18 to early 30s but I wouldn't consider beginning a serious relationship with a girl under the age of 21 or more than 3 years older than me. Outside that age range, it's just for fun.

23 myself. i'm willing to date anyone between 18 and 35, as i'm not too picky about age so long as they're legal, fairly mature and they're attractive in some fashion. ;)

I'm about three days away from being 21. Age range? I dunno, what do you have? If I see you first, I always inadvertantly judge based on looks, so if you're an older person, you best be good lookin'. On the other hand, if I meet you, hear about you, get to know you, whatever, without actually seeing you, then if the personality is something I like, looks and age don't make a single difference to me.

Hehehehe, cute. :wink:

Well, I can't imagine dating anyone younger than 21, because my friends and I hang out at bars all the time, but 21 feels a bit young. Maaaaybe, if it was the right guy...

More likely out of college-aged, like 22 or 23, up to whatever--oldest guy I've had a crush on was 47, I think. So, yeah. It's whatev.

Oh, and LOL @ Knife and Lagmonster--you guys are so cute. :D

17

dating range ideally will be 16-18, if I can get a date (right now I am on very good terms with an almost-16 year old girl.)

I'm 19, and I'll date someone around my age, but no younger than 18 unless they're already in college (since I started college at 17, it'd be kinda hypocritical to say I'll date an older high school student and not someone who's already started college). "Around my age" isn't well defined, though. If my hero (who is 24) asked me out, I'd go in a heartbeat.

I'm 22 right now, and my age range would be something like 18-25 or so. I'm still in college, and it would be a bit wierd to be going out with someone self supporting.

Also, I think that differences in maturity are smaller per year the older you get. I didn't want to go out with someone just 3 years younger than me in High School, but now I wouldn't think twice.

So, how old are you and what age group do you prefer to date?
I'm 26. To answer your other question, "it depends" :P :D

If I'm simply out to have fun, ~21-40 is fine. If I'm after a serious relationship, however, 26-36 is probably best for me.

With women much younger than 26, it's proven hard to find someone with whom I easily relate. Whether it's because they're more on my wavelength or I'm simply not as threatened by them, I find I get along best with women in the 34-40+ bracket.

But I'd also like to have at least two kids. IIRC, the risk for pregnancy complications rise very sharply after 36ish (?) in many women.

Thus, while I might connect better with a 38 year-old, statistics indicate she and I would have increased difficulty making babies.


That's, as I said, "ideal"; a lot of funny notions we might have about the perfect partner quickly dissolve once you finally meet him/her. For instance, the love of my life will be 44 this year. It would've been wonderful to have children with her (not possible for several reasons), but that we couldn't didn't discourage me in the least. I loved her just the same ;)

17, 18 in a month and a bit. The youngest I'd date is 15 thanks to the half your age +7 rule. The oldest I'd date is undetermined. It would depend who it was, why I wanted to go out with them, how much older they are, etc.

27, and my age range would be from 19-35, but so long as they can hold a decent conversation Im not too picky. Max range would be 39. Ill actually agree with spanky on older women being hot :D
