I'm 32 and every guy I meet or am attracted to seems to be about 25. 
What do you think is too young? |

I'm sure I read somewhere that the sexual peak for a woman is around 35, but for a man is about 19...so he may even be too old for you  ! |

When I was 32, I dated a guy of 25.
He was gorgous x 2000, and I was besotted. He had eyes like Paul Newman and .. oh well.. I was besotted!
The crunch came when we actually left the bedroom for long enough to go out for dinner with some friends of mine. Talk about a Fall to Earth... 
He was tongue tied and out of his depth, and I felt I was toting a toy.
This is far from being the case with ALL 25 year olds, it goes without saying... but still. Just my 2cents.. |

No, of course not.
As you get older, you'll note that maturity is verrry individual. And as Life Experience tallies up, there are huge disparities in how "evolved" people can be. Age 35 is the Continental Divide. By then I think you either get it or you don't.
I know a 21, a 23, and a 27-year-old I'd happily have flings with. We flirt all the time. It thrills them that this ageless sophisticated woman is so sassy and familiar with them. They'd probably keel over if they knew my age. They just think I am the coolest woman at work (they have told me and others). Just imagine if I had MONEY, too!
OTOH, I know a 52-year-old man who had arrested development at about age 14.
I know a woman in her 60s married to a man in his 30s. People always think they are mother and son. They're used to it. They are true soulmates and adore each other. |

I definitely don't think it's too young. My boyfriend is 10 years younger than me and it's worked out great! I didn't go out looking for someone younger, but it just happened and felt right. I think if you're attracted to someone and have enough in common, then why not?  |

| I really believe it is so much an individual thing... age really is just a number and I know so many people who defy the 'norm' (whatever that may be be). You can have young 25yr olds and you can have old 25yr olds. I know of one particular fiend who is dating a guy 11 years younger than her (he's 2 and he would put most men to shame when it comes to holding a conversation. He is witty, knowledgeable on a wide variety of subjects, fits in to here friendship group and is so attentive to my friend. So Anomaly, I say let the luvvvv flow girl!!! |

I absolutely agree with Sidda. I know a 46 year old man who is actually about 4 years old inside - you have NEVER seen a more whiney, cry-y, sniveling, snot-nosed BABY in your life! Completely unable to control his life, falling apart at the drop of a hat. Its digusting! My former roommate had just turned 20 (he's such a darling little dumpling!) when he came to live with me and is just the most together, smart, with-it guy for his age (or anyone's age, frankly) that I've EVER known.
When I was 27, I accidentally dated a guy who was 22. I say accidentally, because HE thought I was 21 or 22 (people have always thought I look a lot younger than I really am) and I thought HE was 27 or 28! When he told me how young he was, I got up from the table (he had made me a gourmet dinner at his place) and said "Well, its been really nice knowing you" and started to leave! He jumped up and barred the door with his body (and what a body it was!  ) and made me sit down and talk to him about it. We had a long discussion about the age discrepany and agreed to continue dating. We ended up being together for about 2 years or so. He was so much more mature than I was!
And, if all else fails and you have nothing in common and nothing to talk about, just remember this: the young ones have excellent spring-back capacity!  |

Not at all! Don't let the age difference bother you if everything else works. |

| I've never been interested in younger guys, it's always been older men that I was attracted to. But now I have the sweetest guy friend who is 6 years younger than me who I know is interested in me, and I've begun to rethink things. I have tried to convince myself that age is just a number but his age reflects where he is in his life and he still has so much to experience and learn and he isn't at the same stage in his life that I am. These factors count more to me than age so if I found a younger guy who was at the same place in his life then I was at then I would go for it. My advice is forget about the number whether greater or smaller than your own and look at the whole picture. If he can offer what you're looking for it then you have your answer. |

I'm 43 and happily married to a 27 year old. I have always attracted younger men. Some are mature and some are not, same goes for older men. However if you are looking for a long term relationship you have to really know what both you and he want from life in the long term. That is where age differences really cause problems. For instance I have never wanted children and am getting to the age where it will soon be impossible anyway. Although my husband does not want children, and like me is an only child, who's to say in another 10 years he will feel the same way? Let's hope he does for both our sakes. Likewise a younger woman hooking up with an older man who already has a family and doesn't want more children.
For a short term relationship younger men are so much more fun to go out with, clubbing, more energy in bed etc. For a long term relationship there are more things to be considered than with a similar age relationship, simply because we do want different things at different stages in our life.
Food for thought. |

Get me away from a soap box  but if men can date and marry women decades younger than themselves then what is less than a decade? |

| I know several couples with the age difference of 7-11 years (women are older). They are together for many years, and very happy. |
