Old Dopers: Age gap of sexual attraction.

I agree, I was talking about attraction rather than somebody I’d actually have a realistic chance of dating without somebody getting arrested (which as you say would be pretty much restricted to high school girls).

I actually know the mother and stepbrother of Samantha Runion actually and the accounts of the case I’ve read are indeed disgusting and disturbing.

I’m 31. I’d say 10 years younger to 15 years older is in my “attraction range”. As far as actual relationships go, I probably wouldn’t be with anyone more than a couple years younger than myself, just because I remember all the growing up and changing that I did between 20 and 30, and I assume anyone too much younger will “grow out of” the relationship.

I’m male, 47, and single. That said, I can appreciate the cuteness or hotness factor of young ladies, but am really not interested in them at all either relationship wise or sexually. Sorry, but they just don’t seem ‘done’ yet. As I get older, it seems that people don’t seem to turn into ‘adults’ till later in life.

When it comes to women, I much prefer someone in my age range, probably around 42 to mid 50’s.
