My 50 year old cousin recently married a 35 year old man, and they are happier than any couple I've seen in a long time.
What is your age "limit" for dating (both younger than you and older than you)?
Until my cousin's marriage, I wouldn't have considered somebody fifteen years younger than me. But they truly seem like a perfect fit and complement for each other.
Men choose younger women all the time, but I can't think of that many women who have. Cher had her "bagel boy", and Demi has Ashton.
Just curious about what you all think about this.

How could anyone argue with success? I say, whatever makes you happy.

My 55 yr. old brother, who isn't that cute, honestly, and isn't rich, married a woman who is 36. They are a perfect match and deeply in love.
There is a 30 yr. old guy at work who is very interested in me and has an 11 yr. old daughter. He is gorgeous and I'm going to be 58 in July! I'm fighting the temptation to flirt back, but I don't need that right now. Everywhere I am, he's there staring at me. I catch him smiling and winking at me. I'm embarrassed but secretly flattered. He's young enough to be my son. I don't have money and I'm not young so what the heck could he see in me?? There are 20 somethings all over the place at work and easy too. He sits and reads all the time and watches me over the top of his book when he's not working.
Strange, strange...I've never considered a much younger man.

never thought about it but i started datting older than my age limite, then it averaged out as about 5 yrs older was standered....once younger by few yrs and i didn't like it. Now my partner and i are the same age their 6 mounths older or so. I no real experinces with it but i think it ddepends on the people and if they look at the present circumstances and belive they loved and valued, if they can hold that feeling after 10 yrs without letting nagging insecuritie and doubt creep in (about their ages in and life diffrences after those ten yrs or so) in then all power to them.
i just relised i turned THAT AGE were you get attractive to the younger ones just becouse of your incressed age and experinces etc.....i had the babie sitter doing some seriouse flirtting and invitting us out to clubs with them and their pals....all i could think of was ahhhhhhhhhhh helppppppppp lol. Then as i was preparring to get married i didnt see them anymore lol a big signal that one lol. They may look good but the imituritie annoyes me. Needless to say i dont have that babie sitter anymore....
so maybee for anyone single its more about maturitie and things in common and chemistry then age limite....go for it give it a chances if you nuthing to lose if nuthing else its an experinces....

I would be self conscious out in public though. I'm very shy in public. I've never had a really young man stir my interest as much as this guy does.
Its interesting to me to feel that way. I'm sure I'm just on the rebound.

I haven't posted in a long time - have been busy with work, hobbies, yard work, etc. Every now and then I scan quickly through the posts.
My rule for age limits is to never date anyone younger than my son. haha, just kidding.
I prefer someone my own age because I think you have more in common, but I do have an open mind. I've dated men up to 14 years younger and married one that was 12 years younger. He ended up being a jerk, alcoholic and drug user, but it had nothing to do with his age - he was a natural idiot. Some men never grow up.

When I owned my DQ there was a 17-year old boy who kept asking me out. He was serious too! I finally asked him what we'd do on a date...cruise around in his car? He said, yes. I told him I liked my dates to be at least legal drinking age but I finally figured out this kid was hoping to have a experiment with an older woman. EEEWWW!

I dated younger men when I was 22 until about 30 along with men my own age. For me though, it usually is so hard to even encounter someone who stirs me and excites me that no matter what the age,,if that happens I can't ignore it. But I usually prefer men my own age.
HOWEVER, there is this one guy that I work with who stirs everything within me...I've tried to ignore him and most of the time I do, but yesterday he sat right beside me and the chemistry was intense...
He is 31 and I'm not.
Just to verify why I have such a problem trusting women...there is this girl about 20 something who likes him. She came up to me outside and said you look your age today. She said, I'm just being frank and honest..you don't look as bright as you usually do and, by the way, how old ARE you. I said I'd have to be out of my mind to admit my age but, by the way, isn't it a shame that as tired an dull as I am today, I still look better than you! She loaded for bear now....I have to be very careful because now she confronts me in front of everyone and calls me "grandma" and makes comments about me being the same age as her mother. She keeps confronting me in front of the other girls trying to find out my age and making comments about my hair, my clothes, my taste in music, asks me what I do for fun...says they will have to take me out and party, etc.
I told them I don't go out to the clubs.
Now I find myself hiding out in my cubby and avoiding them.
At least
