Sweet Jesus in a Handbasket! You've found someone that can endure the amount of cynicism you dish out over an extended period of time?!?! I was unaware such a person existed.
Good thing internet attitude and real life attitude rarely meet eye to eye.

Regardless, opposites attract. Try it out a couple times before you buy your russian bride.

Hard question to answer, anything legal could conceivably work... though I'd consider 0 older & ~5 younger to be the most likely. I'm 27.

No worries, I bought in bulk with intention to eBay.
Their resale value is low.
Not on the FS/FT forums. Do you have any idea how much some of the kleenex jockeys around here will pay for any girl that so much as looks in their direction for more than 3 seconds?

Never thought about it that way.
How do I get in on this racket?

If I were dating I'd say 2 or 3 younger, 3 or 4 older. My fiancee is 6 months older.

I'm male. I've dated people 12 years older, and 10 years younger. No problems with it really. I'm 32 right now, anything legal is fine if the person is good. Probably 21-45 realisitically, since it'd be odd to date someone who couldn't buy alcohol. But even at 18 I would have been willing to date the right 45 year old. Chronological age means very very little.

I'm 26 male. My theoretical range is 18-35. I have actually dated girls from a year younger to 7 years older than me.

i once dated with a 8-year difference (17, she was 25). now i like to keep it close, within a couple years. funny though, never dated anyone younger than me (closest was a girl 1 month older than me). girl im talking to now is a year younger than me (21, im 22). it will be the first time being with someone younger.

Statistically women have a broader range for older men, men have a broader range for younger women. I guess it all works out that way.

Of course even though I was open when I was younger, it was for different reasons. At 17 I dated a 29 year old and realized that sex with teenage girls and early 20's women sucked, so I was looking for that 28-35 peak of women who knew what to do in the sack. :cool: Now I just care WAY more about personality, mind, and spirit than I do body.
