Do you prefer younger or older partners??

The above figures are for pregnancies ending in a live birth and take into account the increasing rates of miscarriage in the aging population. According to the March of Dimes, "about 9 percent of recognised pregnancies for women aged 20 to 24 ended in miscarriage. The risk rose to about 20 percent at age 35 to 39, and more than 50 percent by age 42".[10]
Birth defects, especially those involving chromosome number and arrangement, also increase with the age of the mother. According to the March of Dimes, "At age 25, a woman has about a 1-in-1,250 chance of having a baby with Down syndrome; at age 30, a 1-in-1,000 chance; at age 35, a 1-in-400 chance; at age 40, a 1-in-100 chance; and at 45, a 1-in-30 chance."

terri: As a woman, I prefer men who are at least 15 years younger than me. Usually it's the opposite. Men over 35-40 date women who are 15 years younger.

SzwedwPolsce: Men over 35-40 date women who are 15 years younger. well if it is the case that most older men like younger women it makes sense for older women to go for younger men. Who is that film director (female), cant remember her name now but she is around 50 and is dating a 19 year old! Thats a step too far from me, I think you need to draw the line when they are (or look) young enough to be your son.. or grandson :)

....Usually it's the opposite. Men over 35-40 date women who are 15 years younger.... Yes I agree. BUT ....if the young girls date older men, the young men are left on the shelf - and this is where I come in.

I sat a couple of years ago at a dinner next to Vivienne Westwood who was probably around 62/63 at the time.. Her "husband" at that time who was at the same table than us cannot have been more than 27 or 28.. They seemed to get on well..

I'd love to ask him "so what attracted you to millionair Vivienne Westwood"? ;0)

When it comes to start a family - woman should be younger than 30 (preferably 20-25) The above figures are for pregnancies ending in a live birth and take into account the increasing rates of miscarriage in the aging population. According to the March of Dimes, "about 9 percent of recognised pregnancies for women aged 20 to 24 ended in miscarriage. The risk rose to about 20 percent at age 35 to 39, and more than 50 percent by age 42".[10] Birth defects, especially those involving chromosome number and arrangement, also increase with the age of the mother.

Got to be younger but most of the girls i've met in Poland seem to be after one thing which is a shame....

I am not bothered really, but for some reason most of my ex girlfriends have been one or 2 years older than me. Not one of the first questions I ask to be honest.

ShelleyS: I'd love to ask him "so what attracted you to millionair Vivienne Westwood"? maybe he just liked her clothes! Older people can look attractive, its when you get their clothes off thats the real test!

sapphire: Do you prefer younger or older partners?? I believe it's like this, when you're young you tend more to older (than yourself) partners but after you hit a certain age it's definitely the other way around.

dnz: most of the girls i've met in Poland seem to be after one thing which is what exactly?

sapphire: which is what exactly? good question. They definitely weren't after his pecker or cash, so what was it? ;-)

Well , i used to prefer older women , but now , older women are pensioners , so i switched to younger ones....My problem is , that although 55 i am still doing all the stuff that i did when much younger , such as riding Harleys , off road driving , mountain biking , going to rock concerts , women my age tend to want to watch tv , and play bingo....To me , the age is not as important as the mutual attraction , and common interests , and since coming to Polska my mutual attractions have involved a 27 year old teacher , a 23 year old phisiotherapist , and a 46 year old company director.... The problem with women that are too young is that at some point in the future she is gonna be wanting to go to the disco while i am struggling along on my zimmer frame....
