Sassy just made me think of something to do with age.
She had made mention that she has a hard time being attracted to anyone under a certain age which I can understand.
I have a silly (I know it's silly before y'all tell me) rule of thumb that I use.
Half my age plus ten is the youngest I will date. So I am 34 ... therefore the youngest I will date is 27. For me this has worked. Anything younger than that and there tends to be conversational problems.
What is the youngest you would date? Why?

haha if i'd say 3 years younger than me is my limit....dont fancy prison!
Tend to avoid anyone younger than 30...our eldest daughter is nearly 25, so swinging with people around her age just doesn't seem right ! Couples that we meet tend to be around our own age anyway.
27 The perfect age hint,hint wink
To be honest age doesnt really bother me much, it all depends on what the person is like.

I don't think it is a silly rule at all. It seems to perfectly take into account as we get older we can tollerate a larger age difference.
It breaks down when you are say age 20, but a bit of + & - on the age is all that is needed there.

I do agree to a certain extent about 'depends on the person' I just find any younger than that and for me it sometimes gets hard finding things to talk about that are mutually interesting.
27 eh?
* hands Goram an application form *
34 I see, your formula works for me Abilene biggrin

Personally speaking Abi, I am more interested in what your maximum age would be :rascal:
We've never had any problems with an 'age' thing, tending to go with the personality before anything else, altough, as some have said before, having a young daughter tends to make you think a bit when you see people in their late teens/early twenties...
(Mind you, given our age, we're greatful for a smile from some young well formed maiden/fellow - let alone anything else!!!)
Don't you find though, that you tend to stick to people within your own age group - not necessarily through a mental choice, but just because it turns out that way??? dunno

Hmmm good question. Don't have a formula for that but the biggest age gap has been 20 years. I was 31 he was 51. He was great until he started talking to me the same way he did his kids.

tart :giggle:
I just use 30 as a baseline mainly as I said before, because I have a son who's almost that age confused
though I guess I COULD be persuaded :twisted:

It's certainly what we've found

Bugger, that fell a bit flat .....

I think I would have to say it would depend on personality and maturity, its been said before about getting old and that you are as young as you feel(no pun intended)
wave Can I have an application form too please, maybe, possible redface bolt
:giggle:
Will be watching this one with interest...
I started this discussion somewhere else a while ago as I generally don't do the younger bloke thing. If someone gets in touch with me via PM and I check their profile, one of the first things I look at is age. There are exceptions now and again but generally if they're under 30 then I move on.
I was referred to as "shallow" and "ageist" for this opinion. I just think it's a personal choice to which I'm entitled, I don't consider myself shallow or ageist.
I can't justify this as anything other than how I feel. My opinion would possibly be different if I happened to meet someone in person at a munch/social who I clicked with... it really wouldn't matter how old they were.
I don't really have an upper age limit (well within reason... older than my dad and I think it would be weird!) confused
i tend not to gel at all with guys who are any younger than me (30) ...or do I just not like blokes, period ? :giggle:. I think my job has alot to do with it now, but that said, I've never been with/ been out with/ dated/ whatever any guy younger than me - I generally like the (much)older man :twisted:
Women though, there's no age limit either way dunno
When I was 28 I dated a 19 yr old and it was great fun.. but that's all it was.. fun. I couldn't have settled into a full on relationship with him because I do actually prefer the older man.
At my age now, if I was single, I probably wouldn't date any younger than 25.
i was "seeing" (shagging) a guy once who was exactly 19 years younger than me. It was ok, the sex was mediocre, but i ended up just mothering him and asking him if he was alright.... bit of a pratt really (him not me)

Nowadays i like guys who are about 37 - my age and gals well let me see, hmmmmm 30 upwards!! :twisted:
I mr Tweeky dont have an age limit lower or higher but I do now wonder if being 32 and younger girls would have to be fairly mature for there years or I might not click withe them. Mrs Tweeky wont look at men over 35 as a rule in part of a couple. What we have found a problem with in the past is our own age gap which is 32 and 25. This quite often means Mrs tweeky thinks the female in a couple is too old in a couple my age or that I find the man too young in a couple her age. This is why I think its better to ignore ads get to event and meet people, never seems to be an issue then.
Re. the subject of age, Mr Funster told me of a quote from a film (Gregory Peck, he thinks) said (of women):-
"Under 16 they're protected by law, over 60 they're protected by nature. Anything in between is fair game"
lol :lol: :lol:
god i am going to sulk all these people that want people people around 30,
ok time to photoshop me ID,
i am 30 honest guvnour.....

We tend to get on with moast ages groups, but I just wouldn't play with a couple in a similar age group to my parents, it just wouldn't seem right.
I wouldn't have a problem with playing with an 18 yr old girl, but for a guy I reckon that age is just too young- no matter who the guy is, any experience I've had is that they generally have a LOT of growing up to do!
Even though I'm fairly young myself, if we meet with a couple, I always prefer the male half to be older than me, girl, not a problem! lol

Think this is, as has been said previously, a very individual issue.
As an early 20's couple we may seem very young to a lot of you but we like to think we're fairly mature in our attitudes and outlook and can hold our own in the civilised and reasoned conversation stakes.
As for personal preferences I (Scott) tend not to judge on age and wait to see how I get on with people, Gem tends to prefer youngish couples (under 40), although I think if we met someone we liked and all got on age wouldn't be an issue.

Well at 28 I've only ever had a realtionship with one woman younger than me and slept with a one or two.
I don't mean this in an egotistical or patronising way at all, but as I've got older I feel it would be very easy to manipulate/seduce a girl of 20/21/22 and that's not a nice thought for me.
Also I worry that somebody of that age might be less able to seperate fun and sex from love etc, so I steer well clear, no matter how pretty and eager they may be. lol
To be honest I find I have much more in common with people who are older than me anyway.
Our profile says 27-40 because we dont actively seek younger men than that, but I wouldnt rule anything out, sometimes you click with the most unlikely people.

For me a lady under 30 just wouldnt be my thing to be honest
(although I do know one for who'm I would make an exeption) :rascal:
Although in all honesty the chance would be a fine thing :cry:
I tend to say I look for someone that is of similar age to me which is 38 (Shut the fLuck up Mallock) but it would depend on the person.
I would consider probably 10 or 12 years younger but probably up to 20 years older for the right person confused

In Edit: My boobs look like they could belong to a 38 year old, and seeing as that's all you're really interested in I may be ok! :P
