Do you find that you are attracted to people of ~same age range... or the may/dec kind of difference?

I tend to be attracted to people not around own age.

I look a bit young for my age and so anyone that has ever shown interest in me has been younger.
Personaly I am attracted to people older and younger but generaly pretty close to my age

I'd say older, but that relationship went to s**t pretty quick. Was interested in only one so far that was younger, but got used and misled plenty there, so that doesn't work. Ones my age, they still play games or cause drama, so that doesn't work either.

Older would likely be preferable for me, its just an issue of finding one that's older and also is worth it.

I say I have delayed maturity in my mind and find younger women much more attractive. Since I'm 36 thats a big problem. Typically only alpha males can date women so young (17-21) and still be 36 themselves. So needless to say I have never
really dated.

My wife was 12 years older than me. I don't think much of age differences, though I don't think I would want to become romantically involved with someone young enough to be my daughter, unless, maybe, if she was really exceptional...

Attracted to people older or younger (more than 5 years difference) usually, but on rare occasions similar age. I'm in my upper 20s now.

Always age inappropriate.

Be it younger or older.

I don't think you should not date someone because of an age difference under normal conditions. When he's 78 and she's 16, you might wan't to concider thinking long and hard about that one (or run and tell a grown-up *sarcasm*). I do think, however that the best matches are more often found when serching for someone near your own age. Three or four years age difference being negligable. If you meet someone perchance and sparks fly thirty seconds into the conversation, you are either at a fireworks show and you should continue you conversation someplace quieter so you can hear eachother, or those are figuretive sparks and you should go for it.

I would prefer to date someone close to my own age. My last girlfriend was 10 years younger than I was, which was the biggest age difference I've been part of. I was okay with it, but I wouldn't want much more of an age difference.

I'm not fussed, so long as I don't feel like I'm coffin dodging and so long as it's legal. Otherwise it's just plain wrong. There isn't really much of an age difference IMO between my current partner and I (I'm 24 and he's 31).
