If a man does not date within his age range, it’s a red flag.

A 36 year old man with a 26 year old woman? It’s a red flag. Men who avoid relationships with women the same age as them are not looking for a partner, they are looking for a woman they can lie to, act important in front of, and manipulate into being with them. If a man over 30, regardless of his success or wealth, needs to date someone younger, it’s a straight up red flag.
