I'm 31. Anyone else here 31? I'm enjoying it for the most part, but at times I wish I were younger. For instance, there was this girl who joined our crew at work (I work at a tree nursery) to help us water trees. I was hoping she was 18 or older because she was pretty. Unfortunately, she's only 16. She looks more like 18. When I found that out I was like aw man. I wished then I was 17 or 16 again. That's life I guess. You don't get any younger, I'm afraid. As far as dating, I would likely go for someone younger than me. I probably wouldn't date someone my age. 18 is the minumum legal age and I would likely only date someone that young if I felt like she was mature enough.

I'm 31 too.
Everyone under 24 is weird, so I personally wouldn't date women younger than that. But that's just me. If you're both legal adults, I don't see the problem.
Which reminds me...
People our age are still young enough to play high school students on TV. No need to start thinking we're old geezers.

I don't think I can pass for a high school student these days. I think I can still pass for as young as 24 or 25.
However, I think I can remember about six or seven years ago, I was believed to have been about 16! I don't seem to be getting that as much anymore.

Forty is closer than what we thirtysomethings may think. Early thirties is hardly old, but I've got to admit that time really passes.

Thank You for Your blessings, Lord
We seem to be in the same boat my dear!
When hubby and I were dating (I was 17), most people thought I was 14! Then when I had my oldest at 20 most people still I was 14! LOL

31 here. I'm married, but I think if I was single I would find someone the same age or older. Women tend to mature much earlier than men. So usually it's okay for a man to date a younger woman, but taboo for a woman to date a younger man. (Unless you're Demi Moore, but come on! Look at her! )

I'm 31 (turning 32 this December). Most people think I'm 23/24 (which doesn't bother me a bit).
Whenever I do run across high school/college students I think to myself that I do hope they enjoy that time of their life because it does go by fast!

31? Been there, done that.
Why do you prefer a really young woman? I think I know the answer, but I'm just curious....
I'll add that my husband is 15 years older than me, but he married me when I was 26...and mature. Finding a 18 year old woman that's just as mature as a 31 year old will be a challenge.

Your one day older than me!
I hated turning 30, there is so much I had not done. I was in a bad mood all day, and I am never in a bad mood (well sometimes I'm a little down).
I now really have to just leave it all in God's hands. The biggest problem is I am female, would love love love to have children, but have health issues and also I worry if I would be a good mum.
I remember back when I was starting University at 17 and there was a guy in our class who was 31, he seemed so old! now I am there (which seemed to have happened so quickly) it does not seem so old.
I also remember thinking that when I was 24 and not married I was over the hill! I met my husband 2 weeks before my 25th birthday. I also had a weird feeling that I would die before I was 30, I dont know why. Anyway I am still kicking along and apart from having kids, I am not worried about getting older in limiting what I can do.
