Guys your age
Do you date guys your own age or older?
i personally only seem to attract older guys.
but why question is why? What is it with older guys that younger girls find so... Idk, enticing maybe

Thats actually not a bad question. Im only commenting to keep the thread on the front page 
I'm attracted to guys older than me but tend to attract younger ones. It's because I look so young myself lol
I've never been attracted to someone younger than a few months younger than me, but that's because I don't really interact much with younger people at my school. I tend to form crushes on people in my year or sometimes (but not often) the year above.

And they have more money.
Either. Not bothered. I've had my age, I've had guys waaaaaaaaaay older. Fiance is a lot older than me yet being with him feels a lot more effortless than being with someone my age. I grew up with my siblings who are 7, 8, and 9 years older than me (Fiance is older than them 
) so I grew up as they grew up. Now I'm at a point where I seem to be more mature (which means rational/reasonable to me) than they are. Thanks to growing up with them I find it easier to get along with guys (and people in general) who are a lot older than me than those who are my age. I actually don't know how to get along with guys my age. They're not as sure of themselves as older guys tend to be. I might be wrong, but it's just what I've noticed.
I don't agree with the whole older guys are more mature than younger guys thing. With the older guys I've been with I've noticed that they're more insecure and just as immature as guys in their early 20s. Things like maturity aren't based on age, imo.
As I'm writing this I'm thinking of my fiance. Like I said, he's a lot older than me and the age gap was really conflicting for me in the beginning of our relationship. Eventually I realised that it's actually a really good thing because of everyone I know personally, he's in the most stable position both financially and personally. Financially, he owns a successful business and some houses so we won't deal with money worries like far too many couples do. Personally, he's so different to me because he's so optimistic, but at the same time he's very much like me in that he's 110% sure of himself and sure of what he wants from me and from our life together which is something that guys my age are only starting to discover. The fact that he's such a stable person is a huge selling point for me because I'm the complete opposite so instead of being the person I want, he's the person I need.
After being with him for so long, I find the idea of being with someone my age difficult because when you're around the same age as your SO you're dealing with similar things (e.g. education, careers, money worries) which can be incredibly difficult/demanding/stressful on your relationship because you're both going through it all at the same time. I dunno. This might just be my own experience. I never believed in the concept of soulmates until I met him (still I question it, but I don't reject it like I used to) so it might just be something like that instead of the age gap. I don't even think about the age difference when I'm with him. For the most part I forget that he's old.

How much older are we talking? How old are you?
I get the odd older guy trying his luck
I have my age limits, however I don't think the older he is, the more mature he is. The oldest guy I dated was 28 at the time (4 years older than me) and I honestly felt like I was on a date with a 18 year old, he was so immature it was unreal.

I'm 22 and I think the oldest I would date atm is maybe just 25 so I suppose I prefer guys closer to my own age. My bf is just a year older than me. It all depends on how mature they are mentally. I wouldn't want to be with an immature guy my age but I wouldn't want to be with a super serious and mature older guy either. There has to be a balance.

Meh, I tend to find women who go for the whole "older because more mature" reasoning tend to be immature themselves.
That's the main reasoning, bar them already having the lifestyle/career sorted, so basically an economical crutch.

Not necessarily. Older guys tend to have been around the block already and gotten it out of his system, so they tend to be more faithful.
As for my preferences, I'm 23 and have dated 2 years younger, same age, 2 and 3 years older and my current boyfriend is almost 8 years older. Definitely feel this is my best relationship and boyfriend.
Think my limit would be 10 years older, but 15 for a celebrity
I've only dated older.
When I was 15 my boyfriend was 17
When I was 16 I briefly dated a few guys - one was 17, one was 25, and one was 19
When I was 17 I dated a 19 year old (not the same guy as the last 19 year old), and then finally I started dating a 24 year old.
It's that last guy that I'm still with now. I'm 31 and he's 38.

My boyfriend is 6 years older than me but I wouldn't say I'm dating him because he's mature, he's actually the oppsosite but makes me laugh

Age generally is not a good indicator in this regard.
The older they are the more likely that if they do cheat it will be also be in a serious emotional manner and also increase the chance of the man seeing prostitutes and escorts etc.
Though I do agree odds are they less likely to go out on the slash and sleep with a randomer.
Give or take 2 years either way
I've dated a range of ages, mainly my age but up to 26 (6 years older). I can't really say there's been any correlation between age difference and how compatible we were, it really depends on personality. My 26 year old ex had a good job, was very ambitious and academic (that's partly why I was so drawn to him), but when it came to a relationship he was clueless. So that was short lived.
My current boyfriend is a year older and mostly we're on the same page. He's mature for his age in that he got a job straight out of uni, is working his way up the career ladder, has a car, etc. And I like that in a man. I'm quite a misguided person myself so having that stability in my partner helps me.

I'm not sure it necessarily makes them more likely to see sex workers. And I'd say meeting a man later on in his life, means he's more likely to know what he wants and needs emotionally. This, and the fact that he has fewer big life stages to pass through and be changed by, makes it easier to stay on the same page emotionally, thus making him less likely to cheat emotionally.
An escort/prostitute counts as a randomer too!
