age limit

Ok here's the deal. I was talking to friend at work, and he's pretty much a man-whore, he was telling me about one of his flings with a 22 yr old (he's 45), and I stopped and thought about it. I know that age shouldn't matter, but I'm 32, that girl he was telling me about is a decade younger than me. So my question is, what do YOU think is an appropriate age bracket for someone my age?

are we talking human or dog years here ?dancing dog
We're gonna go with human on this one, lol.
depends on the girl dont it.
if she is more mature u could go as low at 19-20 i would think.but stick with above 25 n u cant go wrong
There's no right answer. All I can say is that when I was 22, you'd have been an old fogie to me. Even at 25, I'd not have gone out with someone 7 years my senior... still don't, in fact. Then again, I'm writing from "one" woman's perspective and we're all different. You need to go with what feels right for you and apply a bit of common sense.
i believe dat any age difference is ok as long as its not half ur age ,as in any person,its a bit sick then,was goin out with guy 16 yrs older than me,fell in love but in time the age gap began 2 show as my dad didnt approve...but dont worry too much go with what makes u happy,any gal under 20,their parents may not approve...good luck ok.................mhug
well said "missM" so very well said. kinda bought a tear to my eye.. so poetic and the like.. makes me want to go and do a load of yimmers and rails, ........... BOOYAH!!!!dancing dog
Go older babe!!! Lol!
Sounds like your friend is trying to find his "fountain of youth" with younger women. Stick with women your own age and you can't go wrong! wine
As a 25yr old who's last boyfriend was 33yrs old, I would say that it depends on the maturity level of the person. Ironically I broke up with him because he was too immature. laugh However, my best friend my entire life has been my sister who is ten years older than I am. I was rather programed to like older men.

I can't help you from a male perspective but only a female's. I only date men the same age or older than myself and my cut off is 33yrs old. I get squicked out by the 40yr and 50yr olds who make a pass at me. Where could our point of references cross? They are looking for a sense of youth I can't give them, and I can't relate to the life experiences they have had.

So ask yourself, are you looking for a weekend of fun or a future of happiness? If you want a mature relationship, the safest bet is closer to your own age. A decade either way and you've got more complications than you might be ready for.
As long as she is within legal age (18up) go for it.... But just remember the younger the dumber.....thumbs up
I would say around 25 to 36. Honestly If I talk to a guy on CS and he was 25 or older and his profile says looking for 18-whatever I probably wouldn't talk to him.
25 to 36 sounds fair but do remember that there is always the exception to the rule.

I say once the person is an adult and is mature and communicates with you on a level that you are happy with don't close the door even if there is a significant age difference.

There have been a few cases of such situations that actually worked be careful though. My father took on a young bride. She was 26 and he was in his 50's. banana Their marriage lasted for more than 12 years... There is another couple who have a 16 year age difference and they have been married for 40 years, the other party just died...who knows how things will go? just be aware of the challenges.

The truth is I prefer to stay within my age range but I am trying to keep an open mind.stuck
I do not think an age limit is appropriate UNLESS you are dating someone the same age or younger then your kids, EWW! lol
depends on the people really !
I just judge by am I old enough to be the mama, or they "dad" age, then out of limits..
but to each their own so long as it's legal and you're happy yay
I think 10 + - years is just fine, my last serious relation ship was with a women 13 years older theme. But ultimately you are the one who makes that decision.
I am 26, and I think that 45 is WAY too old. That would be like dating my father. gross....also there are life experiences that differ in that significant of an age gap. It does depend on the maturity of a person, and comminalities; but do you want someone that is just starting to experience life and find out who they are as a person?

You are 32, and I think that 25/26 on up to 36 is a good spread. mid twenties are generally out of college and are startign a career, and gained a little more maturity. The older women are still young enough to share new experiences, and mature enough to handle situations with grace, intellect, and wisdom. Good luck in your endeavor, I bid you good luck in finding someone.
If both people are consenting adults and it is not for a long term relationship, than age does not matter. That's what freedom is all about.teddybear
