at this poll business. smile

I've always been attracted to men that are older than me by about 2-6 years. My husband is 6 years older. I've just never been attracted to guys my own age.

So my question is: What have you always been attracted to when it comes to your significant other?
I seem to be attracted to
single choice

I always dated older men, until my current flame (who is two years younger than me).

Just because your spouse is older than you doesn't mean that they are the sugar daddy/momma! My husband is 11 years older than I am and is driving around in his new Corvette trying to figure out how to convince me to move to Hawaii so he can walk the beautiful beaches while I bust my you know what to support us. (No. No jealousy here!)

Always dated men that were older than me. Wasn't really something I thought about, it just happened that way.

My husband is 5 years older. The biggest age difference was senior year of college when I was 21-22 and dated a 33 year old.

I have dated guys as much as 15 years older than I am, but my three most serious relationships, including my husband, have been with men 1 - 2 years younger.

What can I say - if you date for enough years you try everything!

Both of my ex wives are 3 years older. My most recent ex gf is 13 years younger. So I need an option that says "Any age but my own!"

hmmm... Maybe that's what I'm doing wrong...

Way, way south.
My wife is 12 years younger than me; but then, I am extremely immature, so we fit well.

Plus, her parents and I have great conversations, lol, and she has no idea what we're talking about.

I thought that was the idea? And, for some unknown reason, she thinks I hung the moon, so I'm just rolling with it smirk

Age really is just a number. My first husband was 6 years older than me, but acted like he was much, much older. Second hubby is 4 years younger than I am, but we are a perfect match.

Be careful; it might backfire. Wife decided that I was making enough and we could just live on my salary. She retired in January frown

Always dated guys 4+ years older than me; but if I started dating today, I think I'd belong in Cougartown, too.

Wife is 2.5 years older than me. The way I have it figured they say the wife usually out lives the husband by a couple years, so this way we "go out" together.

I've dated older, and I've dated younger. I prefer women who are the same age at heart!
