hehe im a girl and i would say it depends on the other partner involved? I would usually go for guys older than me, but not too much older as im 16 DEF not with kids! I think massive age gapped relationships arent too desired...but its not as bad when you are both older

I wouldn't go for anyone still in school (ie, they'd have to be at uni or about to go - I wouldn't go out with someone who wasn't at uni). The oldest I'd date would be someone who hasn't left uni...but that can include post grads...so around 25 or 26 is my upper limit.

dude...change the title of the thread! age doesnt matter to people who are in love. But then there is practicality too. So it depends.

I've never liked guys who were older than me, I could just never see anything with them working out. My boyfriend is 2 years younger than me and it's just fine, but I wouldn't have gone younger than that :smile:

19 is fine as long as he's at uni. My boyfriend IS 19.

My bestest bud has been going out with a lady of 34 years of age. He is only 22.
She is Thai!! - has one hot body and you can just imagine doing her yourself to put it so crude. Although their are apparent differences when it comes down to small perfections. She always wants attention, she's looking for babies!!! shocked my mate I can tell ya', and she wants to move in with him.

That got too much for him and he has just recently ended it with her now on her way back to Bangkok working again as a soap star!

So the moral is: Play & toy with them, but for god sake don't take it seriously, not unless your more than content with the above.

Don't think I'd really go out with anyone younger than me and to be honest I'd feel a lot more comfortable if they were the same age (like me and my bf). If I went out with someone older then it would only be by a couple of years....I'm 19 (and female) and would only feel comfortable with someone 22 or under I think
thanx for the change of the title man! gives a lot more respect to women...thats why i asked for that. :smile:
I'm 22, female, and I don't think I'd date someone younger than me because I probably wouldn't have much in common with them, and it might feel a bit uncomfortable being the "older woman" around friends etc. However, I wouldn't rule someone out just because they were younger than me.

I don't think there's anything wrong with an age gap, just as long as both partners are adults and are at the same point in their lives (especially where marriage and babies are concerned). Other people can't resist sticking their nose in though. My boyfriend is 3 1/2 years older than me but I only look about 16, and we get loads of sideways glances (mostly from women my age!) because the age gap looks a lot more than it actually is!

It depends on the person. people young can sometimes be show growing signs of maturity. So it the age factor doesnt really matter unless its like 10 yrs or above. For me as long as the person is honest, loyal and on the same wavelength...i wouldnt bother too much abt the age! As it is tough finding someone like that...why would i want to let go coz of the age factor! :rolleyes:

For a relationship i would only go a couple of years older because otherwise it would be a bit weird.
For a fling as long as she is still hot i would go for a few years older than me, Jennifer Aniston is 37 or something like that, and if she wanted some i certainly wouldn't kick her out of bed (sorry for crudeness), this is mainly cos im 17 and would get what i could as long as there not bad looking
