What's age to you?

It completely depends on their level of maturity. I don't think I could date someone that acts like a child or doesn't have any responsibility. It just wouldn't work out. Physically, the loli look doesn't appeal to me either, But I could always look over it, As long as they were of around my age(14-17), But it all depends on maturity. That said, Anyone who is mature at a younger age (around my age that is) is what I would prefer overall.

I prefer younger than me. Mostly that has to do with women my age looking at me like I'm an alien when I mention anime, conventions, cosplaying, or gaming. Though in practice I have dated from 15 years younger to 3 years older. It comes down to a lot of factors. Maturity is important, but so are similar interests and goals. I don't want children so that is usually one of the big issues that ends a lot of my relationships. I don't agree with someone using someone else, whether for money, sex, or whatever. I also don't agree with cheating. It really is hard to find older women that are still into anime, comics, etc. where I live. Even the guys I work with think I'm weird because of it. Oh well, I am who I am.

It's a number xD It has been a tough one for me dealing with younger guys so I guess I will try someone who's the same age or a bit older than me in the future xD

"I dont mind older long as they can keep up ;)" LOL!

neko - (nods). Age is mostly a number but for me they have to be an adult and mature. I will gladly teach the inexperienced but I do not want to finish raising a girl to womanhood. I know the middle aged businessmen in JP really go after the schoolgirls I guess but I think it is creepy myself. It is not the 16th century anymore. If I wanted a girl it would be as a daughter I would sire/adopt with a real woman to help me raise her properly. It might be kinda fun to terrify her perspective suitors as the over-protective dad. One of my co-workers always picks the night his daughter's date comes to pick her up to be cleaning his shotguns in the living room to troll them lol.

I've come to the conclusion that most girls my age aren't really all that mature and don't know what they want. So, I don't think I would get into any sort of serious relationship with someone my current age or younger.

Age is a number I use to count the amount of years I have had to co-exist with many insufferable people. Relationship wise I'll look for someone a couple years either side of my current age.

Age isn't too big a deal for me. But I'm only 20 myself so yea. I'd personally prefer being with someone slightly older than I am, but as young as 18 is fine so long as they're not completely immature.
