Just watch it - at that age someone with a shot gun may not be too far away...

Did you forget the title of this thread or what? "17-19 age group"? That's not an "age group" - they aren't old enough to be considered aged at all. They are children. My daughter is 24! I think you need a whole new thread "Why dating in childhood is a PITA":D

Q for the fellas here... what is the highest age difference that you would
consider dating? say for example you are 45 (im not), what is the lowest
that you would date (with a good frame of mind)? 25?

I'm 52 and much as I am attracted to younger women I'd feel like a pervert dating anyone younger than say 36 or 38.

Any younger than that and the woman would have more in common with my 25 year old daughter than me.

I thouht of dating a 35 year old but felt like that was a bit much. At 50 my clubbing days are pretty much over, by midnight I would much prefer going to bed to hanging on a bar listening to loud bad music. I tend toward mid to late 40's... we just have much more in common.

BBD, oh I get it... that's the problem with being an nice, secure, average guy... there is always a rich ********* that can steal her away.

Kind of like a lady I used to hang out with who had to have a trophy boyfriend (Dr., lawyer, musician, celebrity) who would bang her for a while then dump her. She was constantly on a emotional roller coaster, All the while we would go places and have a great time but she would never give me a chance.

In retrospect I am better off without her.

Such is life!

At 45, the youngest I've dated was 35. Actually a couple of 35 year olds. One was quite young acting (but fun while it lasted), the other not so much. There is a lot of variation. I can't really see dating someone who could be my daughter...that's pretty much a decent demarcation for me. I find that when I get below 37-38 the common ground gets pretty skinny. Since music is a big part of who I am, if their musical tastes don't have
*some* overlap with mine there probably won't be a connection.

So here's a question for ya. What's the youngest *guy* that a woman you've gone out with has dated?

I thought you weren't a kiss and tell kinda guy, Nostat!:D

In my mid 40's I had a bump buddy that was 21...so I suspect she's gone out with guys her age. Never asked. Anyways, it wasn't really a "dating" situation. We would run into each other while out and she would stop by my house if neither of us had company for the night. More of a novelty...for both of us. We really had nothing in common other than that.

I seriously dated a 27 y.o. for about 9 months when I was 48. But it became apparent that even tho she was mature for her age we were at different life stages. I went with her to her family Thanksgiving dinner and we all had a laugh that both of her parents were younger than me. It was fun while it lasted but in the end we both realized it was doomed....she had a 5 y.0. son and I guess it would look a bit goofy with his 65 y.o. step dad showing up for his graduation.

Except for grad students and a few MILF's in my college days, I've only done 2 women older than me and then it was only a year or three. My wife is 7 years my junior, looks much younger than her age and it seems to be a good fit.

I have a theory about "phase", and that timing is almost everything in a relationship. My first g/f out of the marriage was 34 (I was 44) and it was great...except for the fact that in the long run we really were out of phase in our lives. All of her friends were where I was 10 years ago (duh), and she was kind of drifting and didn't really have a trajectory. Also dated a couple of 45 year olds who had kids, and they were a totally different story, but there are other things that come up. One was loaded, apt on the beach, gorgeous, but just not really my type. But we had fun for a month or two. I've had other instances where I just wanted to date around and the woman was ready to settle down, and others where I was ready to settle down (with the right one), but that one was just coming out of a relationship and wanted to look around. Timing...

Y'all are really missing the boat....
Seriously.

Go for the 45+ group. Their hormones are in FREAK mode! They don’t need your money. They don't need babies. They just need to feel desired. They want sex.

Am 54 and have a 28 year old chasing me. I keep trying to shoo her off but she wants to hang so I have given up and see her when in town. There is no future to it as the age difference is too vast for me, but the benefits sure are nice.

Getting involved with a 38 year old in a country I get to often and she has some real potential. If things keep going they way they are I might not be single for too long.

Of course these so called "May-December" relationships deserve some esoteric discussion...

Its understandable that "December" is looking forward to the youthful, fertile new beginngs that a "May" mate symbolizes.

But the real question is what the "May" is looking for in a "December?"












CHRISTMAS, of course. :D :D :D

I remember a good friend who has since passed (danm cancer) he had a 30/60 party, he tirned 60, his lady (now widow:( ) turned 30:D That lasted until he passed in his early 70s.
