Just wondering....

for blokes: who prefers an older or younger girlfriend?

for girls: ditto but boyfriend?

Edited to be more PC.....

for people who bat for the other side: younger or older?

All my girlfriends apart from my current one have always been older (up to 5 years), but now my current girlfriend is 3½ years younger....(which to be honest I prefer)....hmmmmm that makes me sound a bit odd....but you know what I mean!

Could you tell i'm bored at work?

relationships, younger always although one only just.
flings etc, older some fair bit older.
one was more than twice my age.

not sure what any of it means though.

Ideally I'd prefer younger... but the last four (five?) have been older...

Age has never been something I have considered.

I meet lots of young ladies in the nightclub where I work, but they tend to have very little to say of any interest.

My (recent) ex is the same age as me, but I would rather get to know someone and get on with them. I met a really nice girl a few years back (before the ex) and backed off when I discovered she was only 18(I was 25 at the time). Wish I still had her number now!

The most fun I have had recently is with someone whose age I don't know, but we talk about anything and just get on really well(although we are only friends)

They have all been younger than me, not sure if that was out of choice.

Does that make 2 21 year-olds the answer to life, the univers and everything then?

I suspect it is or you just wouldn't care!

I remember reading somewhere that some science boffin had worked out the the ideal female partner should be a couple of years younger and a couple of inches shorter than the bloke.

Which suits me fine as thats around about what I look for/end up with.

The oldest I ever dated was a couple of months older and youngest was maybe 3 years younger, mostly about a year younger though.

I'm thinking the latter.

I'd probably feel 84...

I was under the impression that the scientific formula was half your age + 2.

This makes my ideal partner 17.5 !!!!

I think it depends on your age, When I was 21 I had a wonderful relationship with a woman 10 yrs older than me but now at 40+ I don't think I'd enjoy it as much
