This poll is mainly for women, but guys' comments would be valuable too. Do you think relationships with much younger people would not last? Do you view much younger people as airheads or golddiggers? Do you think younger people are too active for you? Are the differences in values or goals too great, or do new experiences delight you?
I voted "I'd never date anyone younger" for the simple fact I am looking for a mature relationship and from personal experience, find that younger women aren't ready for them. Also, I find older women more stimulating to talk too, with younger women, I may as well talk to myself. Also it seems in general (again from personal experience), there seems to be a tighter emotional bond that you can get from an older women.
HOWEVER, if someone younger came along that intrigued me, I'm sure that I would be open to it.
"I've dated a guy who was 17 yrs. younger; I don't see what the deal is about age; it's only a number.What two people feel for eachother is most important."

1st-somechick you have a face!!!Maybe I have been gone awhile loger than I thought.
I have learned at,now 54,about 52 never say never to anything in life.How many times I said it and then at some point did it,so learned my lesson.Don't like polls usually no in between like test pick a,b or c,pick only 1 . I have dated when 36 a man 8 yrs. younger,disaster and it was our age diffrence.My fiance of 11 great yrs. started at me 23,he 18.He was always more mature than me,never a notice in our ages. I did about 2 yrs. ago go out with a 37 yr old. He I found after 2nd date had 1 thing in mind,and I didn't.I suprised myself that I went out with him,if my son were still here,he would have then been 33. It was 1 of those "it's been boring latley,need to have some fun" things I do every now and then in life. For a serious life long relationship,can't say for sure but most likely no more than 7 yrs. younger.
I would. I have not dated a younger woman in years. I don't know what it is, but I have some uncanny ability of hooking up with women who are older than me. Goes back to when I was 17.

I see that you've posted another thread about younger vs older. You need to stop agonizing over this and go with your heart. If you get along so well with this man that you've known for 5 years and you have a spark going, and he tells you how he feels about you, then why not? Don't worry about what others think. You two are the ones that have to live your lives, not them. If you become a couple and find out that it isn't working, what is lost? At least you won't always be wondering if you missed out on something that could make you both happy.
I have two ex-husbands that are younger than me, one by two years, the other by five years. I prefer a man older than me, but would still date a man up to five years younger than me. Any younger than that, and we don't have enough in common. I need someone who is fairly evolved and grounded. Someone on the same level as I am, and that's difficult to find in a younger man.

I totally agree with you. If two people are respecting each other and are equal then age is not an issue.

Have never dated a guy older than me - would that explain why I am still single?? But then men that are slightly older than me never do look at me either.

OK
WHAT DOES DATING MINE TO YOU???
(THERE IS NOTHIN WRONG WITH DATING A YOUNGER...JMO)
I have dated someone much younger....and the age didn't seem to play much of a role... It was more personality issues that were a problem...but that's the same in any relationship, irrespective of age...
