Personally, I've always preferred older men. There's something about the quiet confidence men gain as they age that's very attractive. I think that 10 years older would probably be my limit though.
I wouldn't be opposed to dating someone younger, but I would feel wierd if it were someone more than 5 years younger I think.

start with spiritual maturity.. that's the keystone. And by maturity, I don't necessarily mean that he knows all the answers.. He has to zealously pursue his relationship with God. I guarantee the other stuff will fall into place. Ever heard that verse, "seek first the kingdom of God, and all these things will be added unto you"? That applies to seeking God first in your spouse too 
Maturity begets maturity.

But, what if she's in her 20's but looks like she's in her teens? Would you date her then? Lol.
But, being serious, I think that would be a good question to ask. There's nothing wrong with dating someone who has a significant age difference (unless one of them is underage, of course...), but it comes down to your reason for wanting to date them.

Hi people.
I would possibly date an older woman, but not more than 2-3 years older than myself at the most. I do, however, prefer girls ca 24-26 (or 20+ at the least). As some women have pointed out throughout this thread, women are generally (genetically?) more mature than men. As such, a woman of 24 would probably be suitable for a guy of 26. As a point of notice, both my grandpas had a wife one year older than themselves. It worked out well!
Generally, I believe that guys prefer women at their own age or below. If you look at the situation in the Middle East, Africa and Asia, an age difference of 10-20 years is not very uncommon (and it used to be bigger in the West too).
Btw, if you look at the children of Israel during their stay in Egypt (ca 400 years), only four generations passed for the tribe of Juda, meaning that the guys passed 100 years in average before getting their sons - logically their wives must have been rather young...

well, though i'm 17 yet, i pray to my God for the right man to marry. i don't mind dating if it is based on the righteous basis. so to say, i would date ONLY that guy, whom i would like to marry in 3-5 years - until i graduate from the university. and what about the age difference? well, an ideal difference, to my mind, is 1-7 years. of course, i want a guy who is my senior.
and i just can't understand that thing when a woman is senior. well, in Ukraine they say that there r no boarders and ages for love. but i jusrt can't understand it. i don't judge, i am not against, but such love is so hard to be explained...
anyway, if i love a guy who is senior, i feel myself in a protection and safety. and first of all, i feel that the leader in our relations is he, not me. so... my answer is the following - an elder guy only ))))
God bless ya all!!!
