Would you like to date someone older or younger?

Every now and then, I see one date another. Though, I hardly understand the art of dating, really. So I just observe them, like I always seem to do. And you know what question pops inside my head? (see above title) Yep, that's it.

I really don't know why I got a sudden interest in this. Maybe it's because I'm in my teenage years, wondering about things that happen all around me. And dating, just so happens to be the flavor of the day.

So, yeah my question is, would you like to date someone older or younger? Let's set aside your and your partner's sexual orientation. Which of the two is more sought-after? What's an older man/woman's advantages? Their disadvantages? What about a younger man/woman?

Two words: be heard!

-Sani.
P.S.
I'm tired. Sigh.
