    Inspired by the other old person thread, what's the cut off age for you?
    Personally I think menopause is pushing it, but wimmen like Nancy Sinatra are still hot enough to cause impure thought...

    What's your cut off point? 64 votes

    Mine would have to be 25 as a cutoff point ;) seeing as im only 16 lol


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,238 ✭✭✭humbert


    We talkin' purely looks here? well at 23 40 makes me uncomfortable so that poll is out of my league.


  • Subscribers Posts: 16,614 ✭✭✭✭copacetic


    shouldn't there be 20s and 30s in the options too?

    That's not old!!!

    Humbert;looks but also age. Obviously some people will have aged better than others, but generally I find that people have an age they wouldn't think of going above, no matter how hot the person may have remained or surgically been altered to become.

    I was thinking that as well - maybe some people wouldn't venture above that age :confused:

    don't knock it til you've tried it

    an exerienced 40something divorcee is good for learning a trick or two ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,819 ✭✭✭✭peasant


    What do you do if you're old yourself to start with? :D:D

    For me, for example, 30-ish is the youngest I'd consider :p

    Was out a couple of weeks ago and was with someone in a bar. Her daughter was sitting at the same table as us.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,247 ✭✭✭✭6th


    Sarah Brightman is 46 so that would be my limit ... until she turns 47 ;)

    i think it is to the average boards user..

    I voted for Atari Jaguar because I think its the less wrinkly option.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,187 ✭✭✭Mrs_Doyle


    Well I have a BF, but if I didn't, my cut off point would be 30, and even at that I imagine he would be too old for me.
    I can be incredibly hyper, attention seeking an loud, and I reckon most 30+ year olds would not be able to fight the urge to slap me around the back of the head.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,400 ✭✭✭PlayGirl


    should the poll not be something lik

    <5 years older
    5-10years older
    11-15 years older

    etc... because the age of people on boards will more than likely vary and old to one person will be the same age or younger than another person on here?..
    just a thought...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,960 ✭✭✭DarkJager


    My cut off point would be 40, depending on looks...

    The title of the thread uses the phrase "old person". Please don't refer to a person in their 20s or 30s as an old person. Thank you.
    My cut-off point would be 50. There are some incredibly hot men well into their 40s. But going out with a 50-year-old would feel weird, considering my dad was 50 only a few years ago.

    Good lad, got there before me. She is a Boards Legend as voted by boards users. :) I'll take whats left.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,039 ✭✭✭✭Kintarō Hattori


    Hmnnn a lady somewhere in her early to mid 40's would be the cut off point for me. It's possible it could be a serious and lasting relationship, but I think in reality it would much more likely be just something fun.

    hey, I'm 30s! but my cut off is prob still 30s as well. A bit different for Guys in general I think, don't think I've ever gone out with anyone more than a year older than me. While women tend not to go out with men younger than them. Crass generalisation I know but seems to hold up more often
    than not..

    Ten years older than me!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 634 ✭✭✭Míshásta


    HEY! :mad: Cop yerselves on dere. Enough of this agist ráiméis. What makes ye think tis only teenybopers and slightly over subscribe to this forum.

    I myself am.....aahh!...uhhmm!....slightly older and I'm married. The wife would have an uncomfortable operation without anaesthetic performed on me if she knew I was even considering such a query as postulated on this thread. :(

    But just in theory like - anything from the legal age upwards. :o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,563 ✭✭✭connundrum


    I'd say in general I'd go 5 years older and 2 years younger at most.

    If I went any further than that, I'd imagine it'd be hard to find someone who will be in the same frame of mind as me.

    Oh, and that would leave me at >30


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,240 ✭✭✭Endurance Man


    Useless poll tbh


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 30,661 Mod ✭✭✭✭Faith


    Well, Johnny Depp is in his mid-40's and is quite possibly the most beautiful man in the world. And I've a crush on Bill Nighy, and he's 57...

    In the real world though, with non-celebrities, I'd say up to 10 years older than me (so, 30). I'm open to exceptions, but there'd have to be a damn good reason!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,561 ✭✭✭Rhyme


    Depends really... but i couldn't see myself pushing it past late 20's.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,184 ✭✭✭✭Pighead


    OP, Pighead resents the "ewwww" remark after the option for 80's in the poll. Who the hell do you think you are?
    Beruthial has thought me that age is but a number.

    you shouldn't let people think things into your head, especially women..

    besides, apparently 70s isn't 'ewwww' or even 'icky' so thats grand.

    Sofia Loren is like a fine wine. woman keeps getting better looking and she is in her 70's

    Fantastic, just waiting on a cutting remark from B now.

    Totally agree with the reply in regards to Sofia Loren.

    As a Wayne Roony fan and leader of the Cork Roony Admirers Party , or CRAP for
    short, i must protest at the use of the"eeewwww" after the age 80.

    We feel sure the great one himself would like it if
    you changed "eeewww" to "a bit of alright".

    Thanking you in advance,

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,165 ✭✭✭DEmeant0r

    I know you are from the rebel county and all but if you are gonna set
    up a fan club for him at least spell his name right! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,247 ✭✭✭✭Guy:Incognito


    I'd take it on an individual basis. I mean theres no way I'm turning down any of these.


    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Hurley
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elle_Macpherson
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uma_Thurman

    And many, many more.


    A limit of 30 that a few have suggested would be just ridiculous.

    I mean, for gods sake, Vanessa Marcil (las vegas) is 39 this year.

    So your partner is only 17? Does the age gap ever cause problems?
