I'm not attracted to so much an age range per say. I'm attracted to 2 areas that have to come together to form an overall value of interest for me when combined together.

The first area is having common values, common interests, and an understanding of responsibility without forgetting how to let loose and enjoy life. The second area is having at least a level of matuiry when it comes to making important life decisions along with having a good level of mutual physical attraction.

That being said, I'll "look" as young as 24 and as old as 42, but even than can flex a bit based on my above criteria. After all, when I initially meet someone I rarely know how old they are until several hours to several months later. I did learn to ask though usually on the first date or two since I was surprised by the age of my last girlfriend who acted as if she was in her late 20's to early 30's, but I come to find out once we were involved that she was 12 years younger than me!

As far as here in Atlanta, the woman I been with so far have been around 27 to 38 years old. So I guess it's just a matter of time until I meet one who does not have a bad impression of pilots engraved into their mind.

PS - I have a sense it has something to do with Atlanta having a large pilot population and that caused a lot of women to stereotype based on a bad experiences or the hearsay they get from 'the street' on pilots. Just odd that once I mention pilot, I suddenly have a negative reputation that precedes me!
