Theoretically I would say 10 years in either direction.

You go girl. I don't think I would ever date anyone 10 years younger than myself.

One of the advantages of aging is that your potential pool of possibilities is expanding as well...the older you are, the less difference it makes, up to a point, of course. I always liked the formula of "half my age plus seven" as a "target age", though. :)

Well, since you are just coming up on 30 I can actually understand that. 20 to 30 seems like a much bigger gap then 30 to 40. 30 year old men are actually grown up, which you cannot really say about 20 year old men. :yes:

Seriously though, as a man gets older he can go same age group or a little younger; works for me. I think ladies should usually go for a man slightly older or more, except for teens like Luthien where a matter of a few months difference either way really doesn't matter. My older brother married his high school sweetheart who was IN THE NEXT GRADE UP, and they're still together after three kids.


Sugar Daddy, eh Min ? :whistle:

Generally speaking, girls tend to mature faster than boys, dating someone older than you is considered somewhat of an accomplishment as generally speaking, women tend to go for older men than younger ones.

There seems to be a general tendency of people, once they hit 40, to prefer younger. When I was 40 and my oldest daughter was 21, she and I and some friends of mine use to go dancing almost every weekend. Many of these dances were at huge places, some of them so big, they had two and three bands in different rooms of some enormous mansion on some major estate. Anyway, whenever we did this, we would always laugh because almost as soon as we walked in, the 40 year old guys would rush toward her while the 26 to 28 year olds would immediately come up to me. My theory was that the older men, having already had a marriage or two under their belt, were looking for a woman they could train and/or were just in denial about the fact that middle age was now upon them. As for the younger guys, I think they preferred the 39 to 40 year old group because they believed they were "easy."
