See I'm 18 and in college but I've always wanted to have a relationship with an older guy since I was like 14,the guys my age were either very rude hurtful and just over all inmature,I guess I had a little influence on top of that because I was a Lifetime junkie,then crushes on my teachers came around 8th grade and 12th grade,and I've always thought to have my first time with someone experience but at the same time I was attracted to and we had a real relationship and real feelings for one another. Most girls want to feel safe and have that great feeling of huge but gentle arms that hug or just hold them. That's basically why for me,my preferred age range is 22-35 most people say "WOW!" but it makes me happy

I guess if a guy is older than a girl with around 6 years .. that's fine , but more than that it would be weird .. but some girls are okay with it :) .. I am 21, and personally the oldest I can date is 26.. :) Because for the mere reason that I am a very adventurous, playful person who likes to be active and do stuff .. like jump in bed and eat cotton candy .. and I can't picture and older guy doing that .. he would be wayyyyyyy toooo mature for me :) I like guys to be mature of course, but I don't like them to be serious all the time! Plus that an older guy will always wanna do the "right" thing .. and put work first and stuff ... I won't like that .
I am 16 and I would consider dating an older guy. I think that if I was to have a cut off point it would be maybe 26. But I would date an older guy because they are right for me, not relating to the fact they are an older guy.
I suggest go by the rule:
(0.5 x (your age)) +7 = youngest accepted girls age
So 44 year old male is:
(0.5x44)+7= 29 years old (meaning a 15 year age gap)
A 26 year old male is:
(0.5x26)+7= 20 years old (meaning a 6 year age gap)

You wouldn't like me because 5 years younger than me is getting too old for me. The older I get the younger I like my men. As long as they are at least 18 of course. I find older men to be physically unattractive and I love sex so dating an older guy is out of the question guys don't get better as they age any more than women do. I also find men who want to date a girl who is much younger than them to be really immature and controlling and conceded. That is my experience, I am not saying you are that way.
I'm 20 next month. I'd date somebody up to the age of 30. I might even go higher depending on the individual, but I probably wouldn't go over 35. I do love older men though, I've been into them more then I have been into guys my own age lately. I look younger so they don't really go for me, though.
i'm 19 and would date up to 27. it's creepy if it's too much older and you're asking/contacting someone. I HATE when guys over 30 contact me on online dating! my mom is 37 so it also has a lot to do with they're more my mom's age than mine, but I would say keep it within 10 years :)
I'm in my 20's so maybe someone in his thirties is OK. Cut-off is 32?
But then again, there are much older guys that are awesome as they know what they want, they're mature, successful yet still youthful (they are physically active and keep themselves up) so maybe someone older is OK. As long as he doesn't look like he's my dad, it's ok.I am 19, I would date some one up to 26 years old. I am currently with a 23 year old, and his ex keeps bitching about me being young, even when the age difference isn't a lot.
it really depends how old each person is. for example, when I started dating my boyfriend when I was 15, he was 17. people saw that as a biiiiiig age difference. but now that I'm 19 and he's 21, they really don't care.
i personally hate dating men that are younger then me. I don't know why, I just do. I wouldn't date anyone who was older then 24.
but as I get older say... 30, I would definitely date someone is like 38..40. whatever. it depends where you are in life, you know?I am 19 and dated a 30 year old. From that expirence I think my cut off age now is at least 26. I really had strong feelings for him but the age difference proved to be a problem. So I probably won't try to date someone that much older again.
Ive found the older I get, the more I would want to date an older man, say in his 50's. I can't seem to find anyone that is mature, a gentleman, and doesn't want to play games with me. I'm 40 now, I think my cutoff would be 55.
5 years above my own age seems realistic to me. I probably wouldn't go any higher than that.
I only set my standards to up to 28 or 30. I am 23 now.
I'm 20 and I would date someone up to 25 at this point in my life. In my thirties I would probably be willing to date people that are slightly older. I just want to be with someone mature who has had similar experiences to me.
I would consider dating an older guy if he had something to offer me...such as money. :)
I'm 33, I would date 35-45, no more!
I would date someone who is up to 23. I'm 19
