I agree. As much as men want youth, it is kinda weird when you are with someone that is, lets say, 10-15 years younger or older...you have less to talk about and have different stage of life issues. What men really want is youthfulness, not necessarily youth. That's good news to women who are trying to be appear youthful. Question is...what constitutes youthfulness? Staying in shape, have a good attitude, not being all caught up in your own issues, trying to learn about the other guy, vitality, that sort of thing is attractive...not just age.

There have been time's I've had a bigger range, but it did feel weird. RE: Joe’s #24

So long as both people are allowed to legally drink alcohol, then I would say +/- 10 years. There have been time’s I’ve had a bigger range, but it did feel weird.

That's like saying to have a workshop teaching women to go for "shorter" guys. Not likely. I mean, a workshop like that can exist, but in the end, everybody wants what they want. Not that I'm superficial myself, but I notice a lot of 3s and 4s online, want 8s, 9s and 10s. Real talk. @ downtowngal comment #10

I don't think that really holds for mid-40s and above though... @Joe, there’s the half your age + 7 rule :) So at 28, 21 is the youngest, at 38, it’s supposedly 26… I don’t think that really holds for mid-40s and above though…

If a 40 year old guys hits on me and says his age range for women is 20-39, I pass him by. Men who can't date women their own age are sending a big message about what they themselves think of their own age. And apparently if women their age aren't dateable, then he knows at his age, he just might not be either. I’m in my late 20s and am amazed at the amount of older creepy men out there.

So Evan actually advised you to lie about your age? Evan, is this true? I know it's frustrating when people are passed up because of their age/height, etc. (and I've been on the receiving end of this) but how is lying about yourself a winning strategy?

Or do you not reveal your real age at all? If you don't reveal the truth at all, you may want to consider changing that. Evan had some threads on this a while back, can't find them right now though. @AJ #19 I’m curious, did you just reduce your age in the check boxes so you’d show up in searches and put your real age in the ‘free form’ part of your profile?
