Hmmm. We are all somewhat missing the point here.
What do we really mean by 'dating' younger/older man/women?
Or do we mean 'having relationship' with younger/older man/women?

The reason i ask is that how many of us would first ask a person's age then pop the question of asking them out on a date?
Example 1:
Boy : Hi miss, how old are you?
Girl : I'm 25 years old (Why the hell is he asking about my age?)
Boy : (Damn, she's older than me by 5 years) Never mind.
Example 2:
Boy : Hi miss, would want to go out on a date with me?
Girl : Hmmm, first tell me how old are you? (I'm 25 years old btw)
Boy : I'm turning 21 in a couple of months.
Girl : Sorry! You're too young. (But nevertheless good looking tho).

I think most of us would go out on a date regardless of whether we know the age of the opposite sex. It all comes down to looks and how comfortable are we during the initial stage of getting to know the opposite sex. We could tell whether that person is mature, has developed a good sense of responsibility, trustworthy, kind and caring from the the first few times we meet them (at work, during fellowship, meetings, business/work discussion etc) then only we could decide whether to date him/her.

And i believe in MOST CASES, it is only after dating them do we really how old are they.

Anyway, i'm a man, so if the question is WOULD I DATE OLDER WOMEN? I'd say, dont really care as long as good looking. Next, WOULD I HAVE RELATIONSHIP WITH OLDER WOMEN? Why not! If she is my type and presents herself maturely, responsible, caring and lovingly submissive.

By the way, I'm 30 years old and now happily married with my wife who will be celebrating her 35th birthday in 2 days time.

I met her 12 years ago. Asked her out on a date just after twice casually seeing her at a friends house party. I didn't even bother to ask her about her age and neither did she. We only came to know about each other's age after the 3rd date. During the 4th date, i asked what she thought about the entire dating thing now that she knows i'm 5 years younger than her, and she said,

"younger boys are often naughty, which helps spice up the relationship. However, it takes an older woman to teach him how to be a man. On the other hand, younger woman tends to nag too much and often immature, and after telling you all this, I think we're simply made for each other".

The End.
