ok, your 22, how old is too old for you? What if your perfect man was in front of you, but he was older than you wanted?

My pref. is OLDER men, usaully 8 to 10yrs. I have even dated some 16yrs older.

BUT...the age is a number only, it's the frame of mind that draws me in.

My best friends, husband/wife are in there 70's, and we have a ball together. It's as if we are the same age.

But then again, I won't date someone my age or younger, lol, makes sense after what I just said doesn't it.rolling on the floor laughing

definitely a personal choice, nomad. i tend to gravitate towards 5 years either side of my own age but plenty of other folk have good relationships w/a wider age difference. last year i dated a man about 13 years older than myself & he was really lovely. dont think i could keep up w/a man 13 years younger tho! what's yor spin on it?

I guess its more of the maturity level of the other person and
how compatibly you are with them. If you have alot in common
and enjoy each others company...well I'm talking to a girl who
is 22 right now

This question has to be answered by the individual. It depends on what you want in a relationship also. I have seen couples with a large age difference and some with no difference, they all seem happy.

I asked the question a few days ago. I phrased it as what the max age difference is socially acceptable, and most people said that I should not worry about that. I have always been more interested in women who were about 30 years old. So when I was younger I was more attracted to older women and now I am more attracted to younger women.

I'm 29.. I prefer my men to be 1 to 3 years younger than me. A year or two older would be okay, but thats as old or as young as I would go!! Younger are bot at the same level as me... And in the past older guys just were not for me-- too controlling, and I am NOT one to be controlled, so we clashed on that, and didn't get along.

But to each his own.

For me it would be a man over 35. For me the reason is by that time he has settled into who he is going to be. He is generally settled in his career, he knows who he is and does not have to find his self. He is mature enough to have made his major decisions, he has gain the knowledge to know that woman is more then what is on the outside. I am 45 y.o., so a man at 35 would be 10 years younger the maximum age difference on that side of my 45, but any age older. I am looking for more then a physical attraction. I am one that thinks a couple should be able to mentally stimulate one another and should able to communicate on many levels.

Personaly I like um my age or younger....but not older....but as the person above pointed out....it's just a number..and some are at a higher or lower level reguardless of their age.

I have seen youthfull elders and elderly youth.

Just because someone may have many pages doesn't mean that the book is filled with much text and vice versa.professor
