Just curious.........
Is that your hair??????
A Phenomenal Woman who doesn't have to Ego Trip to Still Rise: Pretty women often wonder where my secret lies...I am a woman, phenomenally....that's me!!!!! 
My range is 10 years, either way....BUT.... I am 45, so I can legally go 10 years younger. LOL
I unknowingly went over the 10 years older once, because he lied about his age. After I found out, it was downhill from there. I hate liars!
This isn't a steadfast rule because everyone is different in how they carry themselves, so I do keep my options open!

with something so personal this question will have to come from you..........there are distinct but very different benefits and disadvantages to dating either............what is your tolerance for different levels of maturity?? what are your criteria for work schedules/school schedules/ and of course kids?? it is of course a case by case basis........
my range is generally 25-40......of course if i find a great girl and shes 23 I'm going for it, same way if she is say 42 or 43......it all depends on the total package. i like younger women because they are less set in there ways, more tolerant, a little more adventurous......but older women are more stable, more dependable more sure of what they like and don't like,easier to work through problems with, because they have more experience.
knowing yourself, knowing what u like and don't like, knowing what can be worked through and what are deal breakers will help u along the way.
My son is "22", and NOBODY in the 20's range could even have a chance.
To old is when you realize you were classmates with my mother/father 60 and older.
My husband is 7 years older than me which is not too bad.
HOWEVER money can change alot of things if a brother got $$$$$$$ you could have attended pre-school with my son and TAUGHT my mother/father, and forget the limits set forth above.
