I only date guys 12-15 years my junior. I would never lie about my age; I'm proud to be 43. My dating life is wonderful! Height is important too. I'm 5.11 and in 4" heels -- well do the math. ok so you...5.11 + 4" = 6.3" me 5.10 + 4" = 6.2" you're still tall |

Are people lying about there age to go out with the age they want to date? I have seen profiles indicating an older age but there pictures shows them looking younger, would you date a person 20 years younger then you are or older then you are? I've done it, and was warned it could be fatal. she didn't die. |

to a certain extent i believe it does. its not all about maturity because some young people are very mature. as well as some older folk like to live their lives like that of a young adult. life experiences i believe is what makes the difference. i want to be peter pan!!!! why is that? you love the idea of being a boy forever? |

I am more physically attracted to men 10-15 years than me, but the maturity level does have a lot to do with it. I don't put a restriction on how "young" I go but typically don't date under 26, just how it has worked out the last few years. I like men that are taking care of their responsibilities, know who they are and where they are going. Most (definitely not all, but most) guys my age are still in college, mooching off of mom and dad and haven't quite figured out the 'real world' yet. Just my two cents! I love a man when he is just starting to gray mmmmm..... OH MY!!!!!! |

Yes, as mentioned it said "most" not all women think that way. Some younger women are attracted to older men, but I can say fairly confidently that most aren't. that's me..to a point........i can't seem to get along with guys my age.....can't really get along with people my age......i guess because i'm not into things that typical ppl my age are into...... but i don't go by age, i go by maturity |

5 yrs more or less is the rule for me. I want someone of the same generation as i am.

I focus more on personality and things in common than age, but that does sometimes filter out anyone that has too much of a gap from me (older or younger).

I personally tend to date younger men, simply because of the things I enjoy doing. I will be 46 in September and my last boyfriend of over 2 years just turned 30 in January. My pics aren't old that's what I look like. Too many here have met me in person to put up fake pics. I am who I am, take me or leave me. Age is just a number, it is maturity that counts and an enjoyment of sharing like interests or even trying new things together. It is what and who makes you smile and makes your heart sing. Nothing else matters~

I'm 47 and most of my dates are in their early 20s. I find women close to my age to be too cynical. But, I never lie about my age to anyone. Why would I?

Long as we have common interests and views on things, it doesn't matter much to me about age. I use the rules, If I coulda birthed him, then I ain't datin him and if he's old enough to be my Daddy, I ain't datin him. As my general limits on age difference.

In theory, age is nothing but a number. However, a young friend of mine recently made a joke about wrinkly (private) body parts when a man about 65-70 was flirting with me at work. It painted pictures in my mind that weren't very pleasant.

See how you feel when your parts start to get wrinkly

Dating short term is one thing, age doesn't mean that much. To have a lasting, deeply bonded relationship, for me, there have to be certain common experiences. Every generation has it's important moments. For my parents, it was the depression and WWII. For my generation it was the Kennedy and MLK assassinations, The Beatles and Vietnam. These events shaped who we are and without common bonds, we seem to talk past each other. If you don't know who Smokey Robinson is, or Red Skelton, we probably won't last long.
