Since it's dating night here I've got a question about age ranges.
Do you have a range you like to stick to, such as staying within 5 years of your age or does age really matter to you?

1. I never really did...
when I was single.

I had more of an issue with weight...I would never date anyone who weighed less than me.

13. Less huh?
One of the sexiest women I've known was about the same body type as me. Hope you're having fun out there wherever you are Becky.

17. Yes, less
I am quite heavy by "normal" standards for a woman...being over 6 feet tall and around 180-190. Men who weigh less than that look anorexic to me.

2. Doesn't matter to me
The person matters, not the age.

9. Yes, as long as the attraction is there
it's all good.

3. My preferred age range
was "adult," though Call Me Wesley was the first "younger man" I ever found attractive. Without exception, all of my prior relationships were with guys five or more years older than myself. :shrug:

12. He's only "younger"
chronologically. But his life experience and worldview is as broad as those of a man my own age or older. For me, that counts more than a number. :shrug:

15. Yes it should.
Having the love there is what's important. :hug: Age is just a number.

6. Age doesn't matter once you're "older."
I've found that to be really true.

19. Yes I am seeing that some couples
have a wider age range. One of my uncles married a woman quite a bit younger than he. They're still together.

18. Age? no.
Maturity? Absolutely.

My last love was an "old soul" - who happened to be 10 years younger. But older men are so, well... attentive.

It really depends on the person. That guy on the Nokia commercial, singing the theme from Dukes of Hazzard... he's a pass.

20. Yes maturity and affection
for one another can mean so much in a relationship. Oh yeah I saw that commercial. Doesn't do anything for me either. :P

Yes older men can be attentive. As long as the game's not on the tube. :)

21. I'd probably draw the line at approximately 35 years older than me
Edited on Wed Nov-30-05 02:24 AM by socialdemocrat1981
But then again it depends on the person and my attraction to them
