For Guys: Would you rather date a younger girl or older?

I like women younger than me, because I have lots of energy and like to have fun, so, I like a girl who can keep up with me.

In my opinion females are at their peak of perfection from 13--17. That is purely from a physical standpoint. It would be mind numbing however to have to talk with a girl this age for any length of time. From a standpoint of emotional and intellectual compatibility males and females need to be approximately the same age. Still the young one are nice to look at.

I prefer older women. I have dated a a women 13years older than me. But right now I am trying to get back with my ex 9year older than me.
older women don't play as many games.

I'm really into this girl who's 3 years older then me, I mean its not a lot but she's still older then me. It doesn't really bother me that she's older. I don't know if I like it or hate it, honestly I never really thought about it. I guess I'm glad she's at least near my age. I wouldn't really judge that I think the connection is more important then the age. Age is something I see a lot of high school kids worry about. I don't really see the problem if your both adults.

Tough question here.

In general(loosely), men want younger women for sex only.

For long-term and marriage, men want women close their age, maybe older.

Keep in mind that I am quite a bit older than you so the point of view differs for men who are younger.

When I was younger I wanted an older girl due to maturity issues, at my age now I want a similar age girl, and when I'm older I will want a similar age or younger girl (I think and if I'm not married).

It COMPLETELY depends on the guys AGE and INTELLECT. Really young guys tend to like older women because they have more goodies (curves and sexy mannerisms) than the girls in their school or current environment. Older guys tend to like younger woman because they are usually more physically attractive than the older women in their age group and environment.

The age at which men "turn" (go from preferring older women to younger woman) usually ranges from 24 to 30 years old. But the guys maturity level, experience and intelligence-level will also affect his preference, and the more mature, experienced and intelligent he is -- the longer he tends to prefer older woman (at most up until he's 39 - at which point he will automatically start preferring 17 year old babysitters).

Thats kind of hard to answer. Some older guys want younger women maybe because of their looks or there not corrupt or maybe even they think they can mold a younger female to their preference.
Some younger guys like older woman maybe because of the idea that there with a mature woman that has experience or has been around the corner more than once.
When I was 16 years old I had a crush on my Manager at a burger king. She was 21 and she would always flirt with me and just the thought of scoring with an older chick and possible dating one made me feel cool. Well one thing led to another and we were together for 11 years. In the end it was a big waste of time but we stayed as friends. 18 years later I'm married to a 28 y/o female and I'm 34. Its all crazy and In my opinion its who you meet weather she or he older younger or same age, some people just prefer younger or older but in the end its more than just age difference because if you just don't clink it doesn't matter anyway.
