Age is important to me. I wouldn't consider dating or marrying a guy who was more than 5 years younger or older than me.

Race/ethnic background is not important to me at all.

Religion is very important to me. I'm Christian and deeply involved in my religion. I couldn't be with someone who doesn't feel the same way I do about Christianity.

And there's no way I'll ever marry a Yankees fan :p

i'm back in my "i'm never dating again shell", but...

age: i'm not overly picky, but it does matter. it isn't just a number. i'm 19, i don't have the same emotional development or life experience as a 40 year old, it wouldn't work out even if i didn't find it disgusting to begin with.

race: irrelevant

religion: irrelevant as long as it doesn't have teachings that would interfere with the relationship, and they didn't nag me about my beliefs.

All that matters to me is religion, but only if I'm planning on marrying him. I'm catholic, so if I'm going to marry in the catholic church (which I'm planning on) my spouse has to be a practicing, confirmed catholic.

As long as you are open, honest, and committed everything else comes second to me.

I also tend to keep religion out of my life as I don't want that coming into play when personal decisions have to be made down the road. I don't mind at all if you ( my spouse ) are religious but don't have it play a part of my life or try to make it be.

Age: HAS to be older than me! I need a guy who's mature, not a frat boy :rolleyes: LOL

Religion: I'm a Christian and I expect my significant other to be as well. God should be first in your relationship. :)

Race: I was raised to date my own race, only my own race (raised in the South people, LOL) but my personal feeling is you fall in love with who you fall in love with, race shouldn't stop you.

Hey, I'm only five years older than you. :grineyes: :lol: ;)

Serioulsy though, I like the five year rule. I was born in '76 so I would perfer that any girl I dated was born between '71 and '81. Though last year I was interested in a girl who was born in '83.

What if the guy is a 50 year old frat boy? :lol: ;)

Age: Not that important.

Race: I admit, I wouldn't date a black guy or an Asian guy.

Religion: I'm not, so if you're overly religious and think I'm going to hell for not being like you, you can just move on.

That's just SAD.

That's just SAD.

Yeah, but there are such people.

Yeah, but there are such people.
I know. LOSERS.

Age: Not that important


Even if he was like 90 or something? I think age always becomes a factor at some point.

Age: The youngest would have to be somebody that was seven years younger than me, anybody younger is too young for me. Older, the oldest would be somebody who at the most would be ten years older than me.


Race/ethnic background: I dont care

Religion: Depends, as long as she is not super religious (you know a finger pointer who tells everyone her religion is the best and tells people how to live their lives), and if she is not religous or an aithest she has to be respecful about my views and not to make any attempts to try to change me or give up my faith. That aint gonna happen.

Well, yeah. I'm not dating someone my parent's age. But I mean, I never really had a 5 year rule or anything.

However...my boyfriend did get some mail today from AARP, so maybe I have no rules! :lol:

Age: in a perfect world, would be someone 7 or 8 years older than me.
Race: irrelevant
Religion: in a perfect world, he'd be Catholic, but as long as he's Christian, and willing to raise Catholic children, then it's fine with me.

I don't know... who I'm going to fall in love with is up to God, so I try not to put boundaries on anything! Except one thing: my mom has to like him! :eek: :lol: ... tis the most difficult hurtle to overcome. :rolleyes: :D

AGE: I prefer someone who is younger; ideal would be someone who is between ages of 25-35. The reason why I prefer my dates to be younger, because a lot of men whom are older than I, do not share the same interests or even have the same energy level.

RACE: I am attracted to someone who is of the same heritage as I; dark hair and blue or green eyes.

RELIGION: Someone's religion is totally irrelevant. I am indifferent on how (or if you do) believe in God.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL Tara

then there goes my chances with you.

Darling, I will make an exception for you; you are both a gentleman and a sweetheart:)

Age: I like younger guys. My hubby is 3 years younger than me.
race: doesn't matter
Religion: Doesn't matter, just don't tell me I am going to hell because I don't follow the bible.

Age: At this point in my life, because I'm so young, I think the difference in age is more significant than it is for older people so I'd never date someone probably more than three years older than me and less than one or two years younger than me. That might change as I get older and age difference becomes less significant.

Race: Honestly, I'm just not attracted to people who aren't the same race as me. It has nothing to do with thinking I'm better than them or racism or whatever, it's just my personal preference.

Religion: I'd want them to have similar religious views/background as me...that is, that they'd be pretty open, not extremely devout, but still have a Catholic/Christian background.

What if the guy is a 50 year old frat boy? :lol: ;)


He's S.O.L!!!!! :lol: ;)

All that matters to me is religion, but only if I'm planning on marrying him. I'm catholic, so if I'm going to marry in the catholic church (which I'm planning on) my spouse has to be a practicing, confirmed catholic.

I feel the same way too. I'm also Catholic and I want my husband to be Catholic too.

If they're breathing, attractive enough, funny and of the male persuasian I'm happy. :D

Age: I'm 21 and I would date guys who are my same age, or 2-3 years older than me, 5 tops.

Race: Honestly I don't see myself in a mixed marriage. I'm not attracted to Asians, blacks or dark-skinned Hispanics. As others have said it's personal preference.

Religion: I would like him to be Catholic, since I want to be married by the Catholic Church (I'm not confirmed yet though, but I'm planning to). I never would marry an extreme Evangelical Christian or a Jehovah's Witness.

I don't date, but if I did, age can be no more 3 years both ways(I'm going on 21). Race and religion don't matter.

AGE: Never a set rule, but I always found myself dating close to my age. It was usually because of where I was meeting people and common interests. My wife is 3 years younger than me.

RACE: I've never had a problem dating outside my race(I'm white), I find attractiveness in all races. My wife is half-Japanese, but she has said she is more attracted to white guys than Asian.

RELIGION: Neither my wife and I are religious so this was never a problem. I have dated girls from various religions, but the women I have been in serious relationships with have been non-religious, or non-practicing.

Darling, I will make an exception for you; you are both a gentleman and a sweetheart:)



awwwww thank you :)

Age: As long as they aren't old enough to be my granny or young enough to be my sister.

Race: To my family, it matters. To me, it doesn't. So I guess in order to keep the peace, I'll stay within my own race.

Religion: It matters. I'm a Christian so I want to marry a Christian as long as she respects others belifes they way Jesus would.

Was that a typo? Wouldn't you mean young enough to be your daughter?

You are nicer than I am, if my family had a problem with me dating somebody who is outside my race, I would say tough sh*t for them.
