MY preference would be someone not more than 6 or 7 years younger than myself because I look 6 or 7 years younger than I am. I think it's not so good to see an obvious 60 year old person dating someone in their 40's or 50's. It's just wrong, in my opinion of course!

Whatever both people involved are comfortable with, but I do feel that it's a bit silly when someone who has been an adult for a while starts seeing a teenager. For myself, I couldn't see going more than 5 years younger, and I could probably go 12-15 years older.
I would agree with this. I would also say that the man should always be older. Not because I'm a chauvinistic jerk but because up until 30 guys are complete morons for the most part. ;)
From what I have read women are mentally and emotionally 5 years more advanced than their male counter parts. The majority of males don't even begin to open up emotionally till their 30's.
A good 3-10 year time span would be the ideal range for a relationship with the male being the eldest. Now mind you that also depends on the age--I mean a 20 year old can't go out with a 10 year old.
