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?
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.
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.
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.....

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.
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:
