Ok so everyone says age is just a number, But of course we have a number in our heads. So when dating what is your cut off age? Me personally its the 5 year rule. But thats only for older men. I'm 25 so usually do not date men past the age of 30. And since I have a kid the hardly ever date younger guys. So whats your rules with dating when it comes to age?

I used to think that a year was bad...but when I was 25 I said nothing over 5 years would be acceptable. So my husband is five years older than me. We are total opposites and we find we have lots to talk about. But his choice in tv shows sucks!!

I think anthing older is just creepy. Like if the guy is 40 and I'm 25. Thats means he was 20 when I was only 5 years old. Thats disgusting. I don;t think alot of people look st it thisway though. Personally though is i dated a guy that much older than me i think thats all i would be able to think about.

Same Age Bracket Couple - A young dating couple. Cute!
When I was 25 I was engaged to marry a man who was almost 10 years my senior. When I first met him I didn't know his age till I got to know him better and by then he was interesting to me and it went on from there. I think for a woman, a man no more than 10 years older and/or two years younger depending on the maturity. Now for a man, a woman no more than 10 years younger and/or 2 years older.
