So about 34+. But there have been some notable (in the good way!) exceptions to that. One hot/nerdy twenty-something and I spent a solid hour talking about Woot shirts, anime, and the premature demise of Firefly -- so much fun! I've found that as I've gotten older, gentlemen around my age are finally starting to become (again, on average) mature and life-experienced enough to be able to hold up their end of the conversation. Been a long time coming, that.

im in my early 20's.  I've only had one lady turn me down cause of my age.  I have had some with age preferences make exceptions for me.  As long as your mature for your age and have good manners then you should have no problems.

On the darker side of 35+, but I find that women in their mid to late thirties are beautiful and amazing.  And, I actually prefer to be with them for the same reason Carrie mentions -- the conversation has a common frame of reference, and they have a settled confidence about who they are which is more difficult to find in much younger women.  I guess the maturity level works both ways for men and women alike.

The best experiences are with women in my same age range (+/- 3 years).  However, I've rarely been with women over 40, so I guess that's the top range for me, and when I reach that point in my life, I doubt I will have a reason to see a Provider older than I in the Hobby.
