-25 vs. +25

Well rather then their actual physical age, I would prefer to go by their own mental age so to speak to a extent. But for physical age I tend to go with people slightly younger then me or a bit older then me.

I prefer older considering some younger males have an issue with pushing a particular subject way too quick not really caring about me, I'm not saying all are that way but I've met allot who are...but I also will go out with someone at least two years younger if they are considerate with the timing on when they should bring that question up...

I had younger "19". >25 is OK but >18 is a try. <17 is crime in NY for 17+ people, and do people think what to say if Your younger partner have parents tha are younger than you? Not something confortable to let yourself fall in love for much younger person. Mainly if you're not stable in finances. Be sure to hear the older partner feelings about parents meeting if you want to date seriously older people. Its akward but not impossible. Well. <17, Migrate to Portugal. No.. let girls finish school Please.. for god sake.

Aaaugh. This makes me feel awkward. Honestly, it depends on the girl. I'm 26, right over that edge, but a lot comes down to mental maturity for me. I've known women in their 40's that acted like spoiled brats, and I've known women in their teens that had their shit together and their priorities straight... I guess that's what I'm looking for more than actual age, someone that's got their priorities right.

Ooh, this is a tricky and tough one. While I've always though I'd prefer someone slightly younger than me, I've also come to love the onee-san Christmas cake type characters that are insecure about their age (but otherwise very competent and dignified) that go "Ara ara, you're so young, you should spend your time with beautiful young girls instead of an old lady like me~!" Just makes me want to lightly tease and comfort them!

I'm 29. And I've dated someone 10 years younger than myself. Basically, as long as you're legal, I'll consider you. Basically, even though I'm almost 30, I still look very young, so I date those younger than myself. I have dated older, but they don't last as long for me.

Maturity isn't really an age thing. Never been big on using numbers to limit the people who could be an awesome part of my life.

My "preferred age range" is between 18 and 28, but if I were forced to choose between -25 and 25+? I'd probably have to say -25. But honestly, I don't care if someone is younger or older than a certain age, so long as they actually act mature.

@Panda dog what do you mean they dont last long? Do they die on you or something? Cant imagine someone just wanting to break up with you :/
