Do You Date Younger Or Older Than You - Page 2

I doubt I'd date anybody under 18. Possibly 17.

Could go up to 30.

Actual dating has always been with women older than me, though none more than a year and a half older.

Turning 24 in just under 2 weeks, BTW.

Do You Date Younger Or Older Than You ?

No.

Gibsie · January 18, 2004, 16:20

The only girl I've proeprly dated is about the same age as me, give or take a few months. I see no point in making any arbitrary restrictions on whom I would date if I were single- if I'm attracted to someone then I'm attracted to them, regardless of their age. Of course, I wouldn't date anyone below the age of consent, and I'm unlikely to find a much older woman attractive, but otherwise, anyone's fair game.

Namaste · January 18, 2004, 16:22

I don't really find a discernible pattern one way or the other. I tend to just date girls who are within 1 or 2 years of my age or so.

Sprayber · January 19, 2004, 02:42

In my experience, it was easier to deal with going a lot younger then going older. All of the older women I've dated seem to have a more difficult time then the really youger women have with an older guy. One couldnt get past the fact that when she had her oldest daugther I was still in highschool. We were only 6 years apart but that six years to her seemed like an eternity. We are still close friends and I see her often but she still says it was hard. Me and her daughter are really good friends and she sees me as an uncle type now.

Used to date much younger then me.......but learned my leason in that respect. It's hard to find common ground with someone who is much younger then you and then you also have to deal with the maturity factor as well.

Jaguar · January 19, 2004, 03:04

Definitely older. I'm 15 and I'd probably feel comfortable with anything between 14 and 22.

Alexander's Horse · January 19, 2004, 03:21

15

Lucky you prefer older

Sprayber · January 19, 2004, 03:25

There wasnt much choice in that matter. There are advantages to being older. A much wider slection you will have

self biased · January 19, 2004, 03:38

let's see, here...

Amber: three years younger.
Amanda: one year younger.
Tiamat: twenty years older.
Devilmunchkin: one year younger.
Kisti: two years younger.
Kate: two years younger.
Angela: three years older.
Alison: four years younger.

so i guess i'm what... averaging younger, it looks like. or is that the median or mean... i could never keep those straight.

MRT144 · January 19, 2004, 03:43

younger...

older women have issues. its never been more than a year but it still is true.

DaShi · January 19, 2004, 04:22

I seem to have the same experience. Going back to younger girls.

Get ****ing real.

It's kinda a "family tradition". There's 7 years difference between my parents and both my brothers used to date a girl who were 7 years younger...

C0ckney · January 19, 2004, 10:55

Alexander's Horse · January 19, 2004, 19:23

I don't date anyone cos I'm married.

Bereta_Eder · January 19, 2004, 22:16

That's commitment! Congratulations Mr. Horse! Can you imagine my own uncle for christ sake has asked me if he could crush with his, oh about 20 years younger, girlfriend in my house for some hours? and he's married too! for 20 years and has 2 kids.

everyone ****ing cheats and those who dont are divorced. and those who dont cheat or arent divorced are completely pathetic and miserable in their marriage. it's not a very pretty sight. not very... "encouraging", you could say, for the younger generation.

i can count the number of happy married couples i know on the finger of my one hand.

Bereta_Eder · January 19, 2004, 22:25

i enjoyed the justification he gave me.. he wanted to avoid having to pay a hotel room if he could help it... way to go uncle! what a wonderful economic sense = trying to get it on the cheap. I even bothered to go to his marriage anniversary and he was writing SMSs to his girlfriend. the sad fact is that this is widely spread. it's expected that you'll have your wife AND your girlfriend. happy people we are. i dont mind for his wife 'cause she's a hick but well i dont know some sort of em decency? i guess i ask too much. he's a riot

but he's not happy

So break the tradition -- reach for new horizons.

devilmunchkin · January 20, 2004, 00:22

i've dated both. my s.o. that i've finally settled with is actually a few years younger but he acts more mature than i do.....sometimes ....

he's 20

Lonestar · January 20, 2004, 01:34

Sadly, this is mostly conjecture for Lonestar. Not since, oh, May 2002, have I had a successful relationship.
