I know that there are many differences between 20, 30 year old women and myself. so just looking for a general feeling here, thanks. I'm in really good shape and can pass for a 30 yr old myself.

there is no real age after the woman is legal.
Hell James brown's 'wife' was 40 or so years younger than he.
i would think that the most important thing would be the womans mental age.
There are alot of 43 year old women who have the mental development of a 15 year old (jealousy, snooping etc). When you do find the woman that you have an interest in, regardless of her age, do make sure that she has 'lived life'
a 22 year old woman that has graduated from college and started her career might be a better match than a 35 year old woman who started a family at 17 and has been trapped in minimum wage jobs and child rearing issues.
Just be sure that whomever you decide likes you for you and not for the financial security that you *might* have over someone who has not had as many years in the job market.
Also, the younger the woman, the more important to 'examine' her relationship with her own father... you dont want to be some 21 year old girl's surogate daddy
Guess my answer is let your heart and your head guide you!

I think there is a lot of leeway here..... I wouldn't date anyone that is half your age or younger. however, 43 and a 30 yr old or 30 something isn't that big of a deal. I am of the position that it is more about where you are in your life rather than how old you are. I am in my twenties, but am more mature than most people my age (in my humble opinion), so I wouldn't think it was weird to date someone who was thirty. However, I can't see that there would be enough similarity in life stages and interests between someone in their 40s and myself. I'd say go as low as 30 for dating, but if there is someone particular you are REALLY interested in and shes younger (and neither of you feel weird about the age diff) then who cares and give her a shot. Although to women in their 40s... don't rule them out. That's when they are at their sexual peak.

It depends on how mature the girl is - but, realistically 25 is a good cutoff age (although, to be quite frank ,there are plenty of immature 30 and even 40 year old women, so age really is nothing more than a number)

It depends on what you are looking for in a date. Also, what are your future plans? Are you looking for someone you will eventually wed and start a family? Are you looking to commit without children? You are free to date anyone of legal age but the intellectual stimulation may not be there. I dated someone who was 15 years younger and I knew that he wouldn't hold my interest because we were on a totally different level intellectually. I would think first about what you want in a partner and who cares what others think about the age difference? It's your life.

Of course you dont want jailbait, but other than that, people at different ages can be at different maturity levels. When I was 16 I dated one of my fathers friends, we had a blast and my dad knew we dated, he was not thrilled, but then he knew if I wanted to see this guy I would one way or the other. I was always attracted to older men, because I was mature for my age, worked full time went to school, bought new car, had credit cards, planning for my future, all the young guys wanted to do was smoke dope and act stupid. The men i dated took me to nice places, we went to the symphony, to mueseums, sailing, on motorcycle trips, we bowled leagues. Stuff that did not interest guys my age.
I married a man only 6 years older than me and sometimes I think he is too young! ha
good luck and happy new year

I would say you should not date younger than 20. Just beware if you date that young you might fall into the creepy old man catagory. No offense. I would say 30 to be on the safe non creepy side. Good luck!

I would say at least 20. If you meet someone that is mature in their 20's then thats all that really matters. Of course there are those in their 20s that arent ready to settle down but then there are still some that have it very much so together and are looking for someone decent to settle down with and age doesnt matter to them. If they are really mature the only thing that would matter is if the person they are dating is settled down and has their stuff together. Really thats all both parties should worry about... does this person have their stuff together, is this person ready to settle down and is this person going to add or subtract from building a relationship. I honestly think its all about the person and their maturity level on both ends. You can also learn alot from each other. She can teach you things and you can teach her things as you go and you guys can grow together.

I would say 8 - 10 years, but age really doesn't define who a person is. Like you say, you can pass for a 30 year old.

it really depends on the maturity level of the person. 43 is still young, as long as you are still active. i would say no younger than 25. i personally am 25 and i would date a 43 year old if we got along really well and had fun together.

I'm 42 (female) and I don't tend to date younger than mid-30s typically...although an early 30s guy who was mature might be considered...20-somethings just don't do it for me anymore...
...on the upper end, 49 is the top...I can't seem to make myself get over that 50 mark just yet...lol!
