How young would you go?

Post Reply New Topic

I prefer at least my age (22), and as someone on the verge of graduating, I can't see myself dating someone still in college.

My range would be 18-25

>18

My cut off would be 23, but only if they were really amazing. Normally I wouldnt date younger than 27.

The youngest I' willing to go is 5 years younger than I am, and she would have impress me if she is that young.
I am not interested in anyone who was born after I reached puberty. I am not a pedophile. If she was too young for me 5-10 years ago, then she's too young.

18...that's a no-brainer.

18, but it is unlikely that I would be attracted to someone younger than 23 or 24.

16 probably..

16. It's the age of consent in my country, and I'm only a little older than that anyway.

Being as I'm in my late 30's, I won't want anybody 25 or younger. It's too much of a gap, and will have nothing in common. I'm immature, and I've had a few 25 and younger friends that were at an infantile intellectual/emotional level. Yes, "age is nothing but a number" but if you cannot connect with the person regardless of age, what is the point?

I guess 25

So I guess I'm the only old fart who would date a 19 or 20 year old.

It would depend on who it was. I know a couple of absolute darlings in their mid-20s and mid-30s. The age gap doesn't feel inappropriate as such, but I tend to think ahead and wonder what would happen when they were at their sexual peak and I was withering away. And I wouldn't want to die on anybody - the relationships I've had have generally been quite intense and closed, so there's usually been a tendency to ignore the rest of the human race (why bother socialising when you're not lonely?), so losing each other would be a huge readjustment. I'd have to talk it all out with the lady in question, and see if she had any solutions to those problems, because I don't. So, as a rule of thumb, I just assume they'd see such an age gap as absurd, as long as nothing happens to make me quetsion that.

I once had a relationship with an older woman (about 20 years older), and I never felt very strongly bonded to her.....I still don't know if it was simply her age or the fact that we always knew we'd never have a fully-fledged relationship - she was married to a promiscuous man and didn't want to leave him. It was great not feeling vulnerable to her, but I guess I'd feel threatened if I had a partner who didn't feel attached like that. On the other hand, I've heard tales of older men being total bastards to young partners, and getting away with it, which kind of suggests they can get quite strongly attached to these old farts, otherwise why not just leave?

Well, I'm 50. If I were single, I'd go as young as 42. When I was 18, I always went for older men - not because they were sexually slower - actually they weren't! They were just more interesting because they had more life experiences.

Chris Hansen won't be inviting me to have a seat but at the same time being slightly under 18 isn't necessarily a deal-breaker (just turned 21.)
