Age difference


For people not in couple status, how much older could a potential hookup, FWB, or LTR be...? How much younger? Please, indicate your own age and, if you have some, the reasons for the acceptable age differences.

As for myself, I'm 45.

In regards to a hookup, age isn't really important. I guess, the only real requirements are a certain amount of physical attraction, not insisting on something outside of my bounds, and not having a personality so offensive that I wouldn't want to have sex with you. But, for a young woman 18-20, the person would have to have a pretty strong sense of self. I couldn't help, but feel that I would be taking advantage of a shy and/or relatively innocent girl that wasn't even old enough to legally drink alcohol and get into bars.

For friends with benefits, theoretically, any age would be okay. In practice, however, I think that for me, 24 would probably be the lower end of my FWB range in order to satisfy the friends portion of friends with benefits. I can't see myself having anything about which to talk with a . And, I might be wrong, things may have changed since I was younger, or maybe it was just the people with whom I was hanging, but in my experience women in their early 20's are really wrapped up in<b> clubbing </font></b>and partying. And, when they're not, they want to hang out with young people, which I no longer am. I have no desire to be the creepy, middle-aged guy at the club, even if I am there with a hot 22 year old woman. There are exceptions to this, of course. Not long ago, I was friends with, and very attracted to, a young woman who, at the time, was only 20, but she was more mature, and had more real life experience, than a lot of people in their 30's have. We had a great deal in common in terms of politics and ideals, and I was actually younger than most of the people that were her regular friends. She made it pretty clear that she was interested in me as a FWB, but I was still with my wife at that time. Otherwise, I would have had no problem with it.

At the other end of the spectrum, I think 12 years older, 57 at this point in time, would be my high end cutoff, and in lot of cases it would be a lot lower than that. It may sound shallow, but I'm not that attracted to a lot of post-menopausal women, and benefits part of friends with benefits is important, too. I saw the pic of a 57 year old woman here on Adult Dating zone, and I thought she looked fantastic, and probably will for years. And, I would (sorry to be crude) bang the hell out of Helen Mirren if she were willing to have anything to do with me. But, overall, age takes its toll on us all, and I'm just not at the point where I really appreciate the "granny" look, yet.

I'm not looking for a long term relationship, right now, but you don't really decide when you want to be in a long term relationship. The heart wants what it wants. So, until I learn how to keep my dumbass heart in line, the terms of long term relationships aren't up to me.

I don't care about age as long as they are of legal age. As long as they are mature and respectful, can carry intelligent conversation, share some common interests, yet some differences to keep things interesting, we can relate to each other, and I find them physically attractive, age means nothing. For instance, I am 38. If a girl is 22, she had better not say the word "like" every other word.She should at least have logical goals and ambitions that she is actively working to pursue. She should be articulate and have some level of intellect. In essence, and not to offend the younger people, but she must be more mature than the typical person of her age. For an older woman, she would need to be active, rather than wanting to sit around the house and knit all day. There's nothing wrong with knitting, but set the needles down and let's go see a movie, go hiking, visit a museum, or something. Being that I am 38, if a woman is much older, she must look more youthful than her age. She doesn't have to look 38, but she should at least not look like Betty White. By the way, I like Betty White. I just wouldn't have any relations with her, though I would definitely love to go out people watching with her!

You must be a certain age to ride this ride.

Even if you're just having something casual with a man/woman at some point the guy is going to blow his load and you're going to need to be able to have a conversation or it's going to get pretty damned awkward. I recently had a colleague hit on me, a nice guy, an attractive guy but also 20 years my junior

WTH?

First men don't really know how to fuck until they're about 25. No, trust me on this one.

Second, I'm not your fucking teacher ... literally. Sex is about having a good time. I get showing you how *I* like it done, but showing you *how* to do it with any sort of skill in the first place? Um no, that's what girls your own age are for, go practice on them.

Finally, I'm not into doing guys who are realistically young enough to be my son (I mean seriously at 20 I could easily have been married and had a baby and no one would have blinked an eye). They just have that unpleasant aroma of fresh meat about them and I appreciate a nicely aged steak.

Flattery is bullshit if you don't have the knowledge and skill to back it up.

So what is age appropriate for me? 34-35 is about as low as I would go. On the upper end of the scale about about 55. So roughly 10 years in either direction.

Well, I've had a couple of drunken blackouts before and it's was always a lot worse worrying about what I might have done during a blackout, than remembering what I did, just because if I was drunk enough to black out, there's no telling what kind of assholery I might have been up to... and you don't want to ask someone, because you're afraid they'll tell you.
