    girls of 18 to 20, what's the oldest guy you'd hook up with, providing he's in great shape of course.

    Age shouldn't matter if everything else is ok, although when I see guys in their thirties trying to hook up with girls this age, no matter how good they look, I think it looks a bit sad.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,724 ✭✭✭BoozyBabe


    When I was 20, my bf was 29.

    Age didn't come into it at all


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,469 ✭✭✭Pythia


    When I was 19, my boyf was 26.
    We broke up. Nothing to do with his age, he'd be a jerk whatever age he is.

    hmm funny you use the word girl and not woman. Thats what older guys are usually after, young fit girls to have a care free, sex filled, fun relationship they can walk away from at any time with the old " The age gap is just 2 much or I want to settle down" crap :D

    Granted that generally speaking guys tend to be about 2-3 years more immature towards woman of the same age, so you do tend to see alot of 18 y old girls with 20-22 old fellas.

    That said look at that Ashton fella from punked and demi moore.

    Seems all the girls who responded in this thread are going out with older fellas. Girls do tend to like older guys as the guys are more mature than fellas their age and also it makes them seem more mature by dating an older guy. Also an older guy has *money so can actually do things instead of being unemployed or a student bum :D.

    *Note: Im not implying that the women in this thread are only after guys with money, it just makes sense! Who wants to date a loser with no job and does nothing!

    So that's why he's with me!!!!:eek: I always knew it couldn't be because he actually LIKES me! It all makes sense now! :rolleyes:

    The oldest girlfriend I had was 24, I was 18 at the time.

    ye, but she's in great nick.

    i was with a 38 year old woman when i was 22, she had a cracking body, probably wouldn't go out with someone that much older than me, but have no problem being with someone as long as they're fit and i'm attracted to em.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,366 ✭✭✭✭Sleepy


    Have to say, while I can appreciate the beauty of girls 18 - 20 and see that they're physically hotter than most women my own age (25) I really couldn't go out a girl that young, far too many hang-ups, insecurities etc.

    I'm sure there's probably exceptions out there but it'd just feel weird for me to be with a girl the same age as my baby brother(19)!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,638 ✭✭✭Iago


    I couldn't imagine going out with a girl that young, tbh even the majority of girls I see that are in the 21-24 age bracket seem very immature. There are always exceptions to every rule of course, but I just don't see what I would have in common with them.

    I think at the most it should be 21-23 for girls aged 18-20...otherwise you've very little in common at all. Again, with the proviso that there are always expceptions to every rule!


  • Posts: 0 CMod ✭✭✭✭ Kyleigh Large Lineman


    I'd say I'm an exception given what I'm doing and how old I'm used to my friends being...still, them being 23 is still young enough.

    I've friends who are 19-21 and I've kinda less in common with them. I wouldn't go out with a guy my age, chances are...
    though I suppose there are exceptions to that too


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 784 ✭✭✭bacon?


    i never said anything about going out with em, fcuk that.

    just an ol roll in the hay is all.

    Impotence at 29 is tragic.

    No Im sure its your sarcastic humour that does it. who wouldnt like that:rolleyes: ? Seriously, thou. He doesnt want to go out with an old saggy woman, his options with women of 31 are fairly limited anyway.

    A woman of 31 is looking for different things than a man of 31 thou I can assure you of that :p . Of course exceptions to the rule blah blah.

    Then again you never said what age you were, we can only assume its 18-20 as the thread title suggests from your answer.

    Dont be fooled thou that its just because he likes you as a 'person' that he is going out with you with such an age gap. If he has already fooled you then please give him a high five from me and if you are 2 pissed off to do that I'll just send him a virtual high five now. "Good man!"

    Then you must dump him and find a 30 year old millionaire, go girlfriend! :p

    I was trying to stay away from saying all older men are like that. He prob has little money from blowing it all on his younger gf's :D. So he needs to go back to uni to get into a good money earning job like a liar or sumit ;)

    I doubt too many couples are together just because of personality.

    I've been with a 30+ Latvian woman, she was fit.

    If they're fit, then there shouldn't be a problem. :D

    /me demands an equivalent man thread with how young would you go. :P

    Had an arguement with my best friend about what is better, I go for older girls, he goes for younger.
    Most girls like older guys I find though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,230 ✭✭✭scojones


    I prefer older women. Younger women are too immature and need do alot of growing up. 23 is the youngest I'd go.

    Is that because your alot older than 30 thou?

    Which do you value more highly,
    a womans company for conversation and wine tasting :D
    Or
    a womans company in testing new bedroom products :p

    Also, have you ever dated a girl aged between 18-20 when you were not the same age your self?

    I would have to agree with Mr. Jones in that I prefer older women. While I wouldn't rule out a younger women, it's not something I'd actively pursue. I find older women more attractive, interesting and secure in themselves.

    Nah, he's young. He's like me, prefers older girls, more mature and stuff.
    Oh and option A...

    No I'm 22 myself. 23 in August.

    As for which I value more highly, it would be option A.

    Yeah, I dated a girl between the age of 18 to 20 when I was the same age. Well, I was 18, she was 19, we went out for four years.

    I just can't imagine myself with someone younger than me. We'd have very little in common, and I just think girls that age are too immature for me. bluewolf is an exception though, rawr baby!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,216 ✭✭✭✭monkeyfudge


    Speaking as a 18 year old girl... ahem... I don't care what age a guy is as long as he really, really likes monkeys.

    Not after you rejected my so-generous offer already ;P


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 703 ✭✭✭ThrownAway


    I'm 18 and I'd say the oldest guy I'd ''date'' is 26 actually even that seems really weird. I was 17 a few weeks ago. Different stages.

    I think it's amazing the way people think an 18 year old with a 35 year old is okay but if she/he was 17 it would be terribly wrong. It's only a year of a difference.

    You should re post this poll and ask "If he was rich, how old is too old?" Id say the response with be shocking! :D

    Why does he have to be in great shape? Imo a muscley body is a turn off; a guy with a few pounds on him is much better.


  • Posts: 0 CMod ✭✭✭✭ Kyleigh Large Lineman


    No way - skinny is better, lightly toned even more so


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,055 ✭✭✭snickerpuss


    I'm 19 and i wouldn't go further than 24/25 cos i just feel like a bit of a weiner kid, nothing in common really.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,443 ✭✭✭✭bonkey


    So not one of the women who've posted here (or the poll author) would consider doing the likes of Mr. Connery.

    I'd quite happily have a fling with a guy who's 20 years or more older than me (28). (Many) men that age are HOT!!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,175 ✭✭✭chamlis


    When I was 17 I was with a 23 year old. That was awsome, she was like, a LADY.

    When I was 20 I was seing a 27 year old on and off. She was more childish than me ffs.

    But as has been said, hot is hot, regardless of age. So the sky is the limit (I just can't imagine a hot 60 year old...)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,928 ✭✭✭✭rainbow kirby


    It depends more on personality than anyone else. In general though, I wouldn't go much older than 27 (I'm 21). Of course if someone 30-ish who was hot and had a great personality asked me out... ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 330 ✭✭baby*cham*bell


    the richer/older the better, prefably aproaching 100, with a feeble heart and a large bank balance

    Age doesn’t matter once they have plenty of money and nothing is out of place or not working


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 47,532 CMod ✭✭✭✭Black Swan


    Age should not matter, but it does when it becomes too obvious. When this happens, even though the couple may do just grand, people talk and unfairly judge the couple. Such is the sad sandbox of life.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 60,110 Mod ✭✭✭✭Tar.Aldarion


    You shouldn't care what others think at all.
    It's just what you feel comfortable with.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,193 ✭✭✭[Jackass]


    I'm 23, my g/f's 19....I get slagged by my mates for being a cradle snatcher! :(


    Feck 'em, she's fit and we get on great.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,061 ✭✭✭✭Terry


    half your age +3 years is acceptable for any man over 30.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,174 ✭✭✭D


    No, it's half your age, rounding up, plus seven.

    Of course that's only if you care and you shouldn't really.
