Hmm. Interesting discussion. I'm usually more attracted to people older than me (though I am only 18 so I guess that's normal). I've been on dates with people over twice my age, and age really isn't an issue with me. I find myself attracted to women with experience and confidence more than others, which usually puts people my age range out. The one time I dated someone younger than me it was because she was one of the most confident and self-assured people I had ever met. So yeah, age, not an issue. Attractiveness is an issue, but not necessarily physical attractiveness.
For me, there's like a 'holy crap' line. You must blow me away this much before you can ride the Thome. How I'm blown away isn't important, and age doesn't factor in at all.
The longest relationship I've had has only been about a year, which is mostly due to my own immaturity. I can't comment on age's importance in a lasting relationship. And practically every man I know of my age dates younger (the status quo here is usually to date a year or two younger until you divorce at 40, at which time you start dating 18-30 year olds until death from heart failure), and I had inslts and envy thrown my way when I've introduced girlfriends to my friends. But provided you're both attracted to each other that really shouldn't matter.
