This question was inspired by a meme I just saw, and my longtime crush on Brad Pitt, who’s 45 years older than me.

Youngest: my age. Oldest: if it’s someone in as good shape as Brad Pitt, the sky’s the limit.

    I don’t really see what I’ve got in common with anyone outside of myage ±10 years. That being said I’ve got more important priorities than age.

    I am not as old as Brad Pitt but getting there, and while my “window” has widened as I get older it’s not so wide. Married now but if we were still doing the recreational sex I would say about 10-12 years in either direction for casual (as long as there is mutual attraction) but for serious dating my husband is almost 3 years older than me and that’s about as wide a gap as I would be comfortable with, my preference is same age. My kids say I seem much younger than him already, lol, but I don’t think that is years.

    My dad is 98 and he started dating an 82-year-old. It seems to be going really well. She can’t drive and he still does so that probably increased his appeal.

    My wife is almost 9 years younger than me. We’ve been together for almost 20 years. 50 and 42.

    Youngest: 18
    Oldest: < dead

    If you’re legal, hot, and cool, I’m down. Why not?
