I'm a 46 year old male and i'm currently looking for a good mate.I'm 46,but i still look and act like i'm about 30.Unfortunately i found myself going to the dating sites online and i've accumulated a lot of women seeking the same things i'm seeking.I have female dates ranging in age from 25 to 51.I'm would like to know from the men what will be the best age limit for me to pursue.I have met some real nice ladies in all ages,but i'm looking more into the future than what i can get right now from a mate.It has gotten quite confusing for me to make a decision.I don't want to miss out on what's good to be with something that i might regret later on down the road.

Age is only a number. Just as you are 46 and look/act like you are 30, there will be women out there whose outlook will make them seem younger, and there will be young ones whose outlook will make them seem older. Why limit yourself by age? You are meeting nice women of all ages. Pick the one who suits you best, not the one who suits your idea of what you think you might like in 10 or 20 years.
The one and only way that age might be a consideration for you is if you have any plans to have children. In that case, you might want to look a little younger. Women in their late 40's and early 50's CAN still have children, but the risk of Down's Syndrome and other birth defects increases with age. Plus, I imagine that the "older" women you're meeting don't want to have any children at this time in their life anyway.
I understand why you asked this question, but the answer is that it absolutely does not matter. If the person is a bad fit for you, it won't help that she's younger. If the person is a good fit for you, then it won't hurt that she's older.
Good luck and I hope you find what you're looking for.

Hello,
I suggest going with someone no younger than 35. The younger ones make you feel good and youth is always attractive but the bottom line is, can you relate to someone so young? A 25 year old woman may have much different concerns and goals than a 46 year old man. Such as, she is still worrying about starting her career, what she is going to do with her life etc. At 46 you probably have a mortgage, responsibilities and maybe an ex wife and kids, she can't really relate the your life so well. Someone a little closer to your own age will make a better life long partner and will be able to understand you better.

At 46 you may meet a woman who is 50 who is smok'in hot , but always think about 10 years down the road. I date 7 years younger and 4 years older, and it has always worked out for me. I am 45 and if you go to young you will have little in common after the the initial lust dies down. She may say " Led Zeppelin" what?

When you reach the age of 46, your health can sometimes deteriorate much more rapidly than you might anticipate. And since women tend to live slightly longer than men anyway, I would advise that you not date a woman more than 10 years your junior. But, hey. You only live once, right? Now get out there and go after that 24 year old babe that just winked at you. I know I'd have a difficult turning that down...!

Pick a lady who is of "legal" age in your country and hers. Other than that, the age difference isn't that much of a factor. Instead, what is more important is to find someone who can put up with your personal quirks and who themself have quirks with which you can live. Then get married with the idea that the two of you are going to make it work for life.

I'm poutting me 2 cents in...I would stay with in 6-8 yrs of your age for a seriuos long term relationship with a settled down woman. meaning the younger one's are still living it up and are probly looking for just fun and someone to hang out with at this moment. So stay with older 30's early 40's!

From a female's perspective it depends on what you're looking for - if you're looking to settle down and have children - a younger mate. If you're looking for a mature person who can travel, have fun, and be there and spotaneous because she has already raised children and is settled in her career - a older woman. Either way you shouldn't have any regrets just know what your looking for in a mate and go for that person.

Men are going to tell you younger because that's what THEY want..
From an "older' womans perspective, I can tell you that most women would not be interested in a man who would date a woman young enough to be his daughter... Especially, women of quality.. We think "if he can relate to a young woman in a romantic / partnership kind of way, then him and I would not be able to relate..
We have 'been there' and know first hand of the intellecutal and maturity differences... and frankly, most women in their later 30's / early 40's are comfortable in who they are enough to say 'thanks but no thanks'... so you might be turning off women in your own age group be being 'ok' with dating younger women...
Also, a younger woman is not looking at you as a potential partner long term... she is looking at what can he buy me and will he party with me or give me children? They have no clue as to what it takes to establish a real relationship... as you probably did not in your 20's...
Yet, if you are going just for the 'fun' of it... well, then you may be able to relate to us - but we still would not want you because we'd think you are a pig...
So, it really all depends on what you want for yourself.. now and in the future...
I am just giving you a heads up on how women think - because we afterall, are the ones who decide if we'd want to date you in the first place...
Take the advice or disregard - no harm no foul.

some free advice, sir.
You're 46? Do you want children? Something to consider.
I know more men who got trapped into fatherhood by dating early 30s gals who had never had kids and wanted them.
be careful. And that's advice I would give my own son. :)
