I'm not sure I can answer the question without sounding a bit--I don't know--bratty.
I'm 23. I was 21 when I met my fiance. By the time I was 21, I was through with the club scene. I was tired of all the guys my own age. I wanted something more. Frankly, and this is no offense to the guys here, I didn't click with ANYONE my own age because they were--immature. I realize not ALL younger men are immature, but for me, I just didn't find a young man that was 'datable' material. When my fiance and I met, he was 28. That gave us 7 years difference. We clicked on a MUCH better level. Now I'm 23 and he's 30. Neither of us really had the upper hand in dating because we were both in that 'ideal' dating age, but I would DEFINATLY say that I was MUCH more prepared to date than the men the same age as me--at least the ones I met.
But from another perspective, I dont think there is an ideal age for women really, unless you figure the older men are looking for younger women . . . but I don't necessarily think that's true--but that's the only viewpoint I can see where you aren't at an advantage as a older woman. (not that 26+ is OLD, just a bit older than me).
