    I think that a really important aspect to take into account is how you two communicate. If their are problems in how you communicate early on, that would be a red flag for me. this is one situation where I would advise being as open and direct as possible from the start. Especially with the potential power dynamics, ensuring that you're both on equal footing is important.

    i don't think age matters once you reach a certain point.. Ie: 20+ yrs old.
    i wouldn't mind older men if they at least looked their age and were well groomed and took care of themselves, i typically don't like hairy balls :wink:
    i've seen guys well into their 40s that look very good for their age, and i've also seen 25-30 yr olds that look like they could be my father (i'm in my 30s, but could pass as a 25 yr old).

    I am struck by something; the age difference between 19 and 21 is tremendous. Think about it, did you know what the hell you were doing at that age? But you didn't say anything about a teenager, so I digress. I'm currently in a relationship with someone not quite 5 younger than I am, is that really "a younger man," that depends on your point of view.

    I would echo what was said about the risk of not finding a stable relationship by virtue of someone of a much young age not wanting to "settle down" quite yet, that could cause a lot of grief.

    I spouse in some ways I have daddy issues (who doesn't). I like cuddling and feeling safe. I love grey hair and beards always a turn on.

    A shrink would have a field day with me lol

    This was interesting thread to skim through.

    I recently came out to self and some others and I am exploring the whole thing. For me, it comes down to a maturity level. I was seeing a younger guy for a while and I felt like he wanted to play games, then I was seeing a guy that was younger than him and he seemed very mature. Of the handful of guys I've hooked up with or just hung out with since exploring my bisexuality/homosexual side the one I have been most attracted to is my age, but we are only friends. I think age can make a difference, but it depends on the individual. I've met some jackasses that are older than me and I have met some very mature people that are in the mid-20 range. Not that there is anything wrong with it, but I stay away from people that aren't old enough to order a drink at a bar in the U.S. and tend to prefer people closer to my age. When it comes to dating or casual sex it can depend of course.
