    +/- 5 years. Ideally I want them to be done their undergraduate degree and hope that they work.

    I'd prefer somebody older, max. 8 years or so. As I'm still 17 it would be pretty creepy to date someone younger than that, dunno why.

    Being 27 yo I'd date someone in the range of 25yo to 35yo. I've dated guys on both polarities and have surmised that too big an age gap doesn't work for me. The oldest guy I dated was aged 44yo, also dated someone 40 and 38yo. Older guys tend to be more uhm controlling. Which doesn't work for me because I myself am quite a dominant person when in a relationship. I had also dated younger guys aged 20 and 22yo. Which if I may add I wouldn't have done if they hadn't lied to me about their age, they told me they were older. :dry: Safe to say their lack of maturity, wisdom and life experience made them casualties of the dating game.

    If I was into one night stands (I am NOT), I'd be attracted to anything 18-50.

    But for dating I'm way too picky I'd say: 18-23 (I'm 26).

    I wouldn't use age as a dating factor except for legality. My first criteria is, "I can always learn something" from somebody. Each human being I interact with offers a different perspective to life - always. .

    4 years either way.

    I think guys who go exclusively for younger types are creepy though - and that's a red flag for me. I usually avoid them, unless it's a one-night stand, then I don't care.

    I'm 16, I wouldn't date anyone younger than 15 or older than 17. That said, when I'm 25, I think my range will be more like 21-30.

    I think 2 - 3 year younger or older would be about my limit but I guess it really depends on the maturity level. preferably someone not too immature, but not so overly mature they wouldn't be able to tolerate my goofy immature moments.

    I'd say no older than 15 years and no younger than 10 years.

    For me, roughly +/- 5 years (with some flexibility), and them being in a similar life situation (i.e., I would want them to have completed, or be near completion, of their education).

    I would say between 1-2 years younger, and between 2-3 years older.

    18~23. I wouldn't date anyone who's more than 4 years older for now, not really because of the age, but because he would be in a very different life stage.

    Younger would only be a year younger. As I won't date anyone under 18.

    Older 3 years, max.

    I'm 16, but I wouldn't date someone younger than 15. And I don't know what is the max age I'd date. I'm considering going out with a woman that is 22 years old, anyway.

    I like the formula (younger person's age)>((older person's age)/2)+7, with an upper limit of about 20 years. My current boyfriend is 13 years older than me, and I'm hoping we don't have too many issues creep up just due to our age difference.

    I'm 24, bit I don't think I'd date younger than 21 and I wouldn't go over 30. I prefer keeping it close.

    I'm only 16? So it would be creepy for me to date someone who's 14 haha so I would not date younger than 15 and I would not date older than 18 :slight_smile: and even then 18 is sort of ummm?
