I couldn't relate to someone that was in thier 20s or 30s. I don't care how mature they act; I couldn't talk to them about growing up in the 60s or 70s as they weren't born. Even the most immature guy my age would still be easier to relate to than someone 20 or 30 years younger than me. I am not a stupid woman and I know a young man's interest in me would be for sex or a place to live. A lady friend 50 dated a 35 year old, she let him move in, they got into arguements and she had to get a restraining order to get him out. She is a nice lady, and had a very good job.

Why does that not surprise me? Mind you; you gave a great example of what I was talking about. I know of another man that was 60 and hooked up with a 22 year old. She cleaned out his bank account (life savings) and left. I am sure there are 100s more stories out there but most would never come forward due to embarassment.

I would like to think that age doesnt really matter, but it does in most cases. I prefer men older than me by maybe 3-5 years. plus 10-12 is probably my highest limits. dated boys my age, and most of them either still looking around for whats better or just not mature enough mentally. Mental immaturity has something to do with it but not always. I know of 'grown' men that are still shopping around for what's better. It never ends with them 'males'. Lol. Man hater! bitter as well.

All I know is I felt weird when this 22 year old girl put the moves on me. I felt old and dirty. If she was American=gold digger, if she was foreigner=greencard.

I have my preferences set for 28-50 and that just came about recently after an FWB relationship with a 32 year old. I have had a 22 yr. old stalker and a 25 yr. old tell me I look "yummy". Just don't think I could date anyone that close to my daughters age. As far as the upper limit goes I don't want anyone who has one foot in the grave or lacks enough stamina to keep up with me. In dating, all you have to do is think about yourself. You said you dont want somebody closer to your daughter's age? Why? Because she might take him? By the way why dont we try each other and see where it goes? After all i am not in the twenties

what is the youngest that you would date and how old is too old? I do not see age as an attraction or barrier providing you are both able to marry. It is the person that you are attracted to, and where there is a mutual affinity age difference is irrelevant in my opinion.

what is the youngest that you would date and how old is too old? Legal age. I do like it if the girl is younger then me or my age. Although it doesn't matter to me if they are two years or ten years younger than me, as long as we have a connection and willing to work things out. I can't just be attracted physically but also emotionally as well.
