Do you have a general rule for age range and dating?

I'm 38. I date men from 28-42. Any younger and they seem like babies. Any older and they get real unattractive and their dicks can't keep up with me. The sweetest spot for me seems to be 30-34.

I’m 29 and I wouldn’t date anyone younger and oldest I would go is to 35

I’m in my mid 30’s. I have and would date up to 10 yrs younger, in the past I have also dated 10 years older but not anymore, the oldest would be maybe 5 yrs older.

Why? I’ve no interest in dealing with some 40year old guys ingrained bad habits, or the fact that he has no idea how to present himself, and has skin drier than our conversation.

Not saying there aren’t older guys who are awesome...but a quick look at OLD proved dudes my age and older look dusty AF, and it honestly completely scared me off extending my age range.

If you don’t end up marrying 99.99% of the guys we date, they may as well be fit, energetic and fun for the time being.

I don't want children. I am financially independent. I am also extremely picky, he gotta be intelligent, athletic, educated, not too clingy, well read, goal driven, honest, clean. If I add age restrictions on top of that, girl, I will be getting nobody. So I am open to date all (legal) age groups, as long as I find someone compatible.

I'll date about 10 years younger and 5 years older (I'm in my 40s). There's exceptions to that rule, Im mainly looking at their interests, hobbies and willingness to explore a range of life experiences. Dating outside of that age range tends to not give me that - they either can't afford nice weekends away or think a live music gig is too loud/keeps them up past their bedtime.

I’m 32. I date guys from 28-32. Maybe as low as 26.

blair2006 · 2020-05-06T05:54:05+00:00

I’m 24 (turn 25 soon) and my age range is 24-27. Any older and I think it’s super weird. I think it’s so gross when women my age date guys in their 30s. Like that’s my uncles age. Yuck. I also do not want children. And I think it says soemthing is off about the man when he is like 32 and dating a 24 year old.

PunnyPrinter · 2020-05-06T04:49:23+00:00

30s, I don’t date younger. I’d like to stay in the 40s range. The older I go, the more generous he must be.

I'll date my age to maybe 4 years older. I'm in my mid-twenties. Older men seem to think they can manipulate me (which they can't lol I can see through their bs). I want someone who is on my level and doesn't think he's above me when he's not just because he's older and more established. Plus men just get less attractive from my age on...

ny-lady · 2020-05-06T11:13:05+00:00

I usually date with in 5 years over or under, 10 tops. I tend to be attracted to more late 30's men over my age men, mid 40's. They look way older than I do. Some of them would look like my dad if I dated them. Late 30's men are more of a 'looks match'.

I want to age with someone.

throwaway23004345 · 2020-05-06T04:03:29+00:00

I’m 27 and I have to date someone atleast 32+ men my age are a joke

thewetdog_ · 2020-05-06T05:26:00+00:00

I’m 32 and my range is 30 (if adult enough and serious minded, proven by words, lifestyles and action towards me) to maybe 42, 43? As long as it’s a fit, handsome 42 :)

--qtbunny-- · 2020-05-06T10:05:54+00:00

I’m 19. I would not date anyone who’s more than 5 years older than me, nor a year younger than me. The guy must well-educated or is a college student. I’d prefer within the same field because then we’d probably have a lot of similar topics to talk about.

lival42 · 2020-05-06T15:23:05+00:00

I’ll allow as young as 38 to as old as 48, because of immaturity at the low end and health issues at the high end. I’m in my mid 40s.

Nifteroni-and-Cheese · 2020-05-06T16:43:55+00:00

I’m 21, going into my senior year of college. I would only date older if they’re a grad student, just because that’s the phase of life I’m in right now, and I definitely wouldn’t date anyone in high school, even if they were 18. Maybe like 18-24, assuming they’re also in university? The most recent suitors I’ve been interested in have both been 20, one accelerated so he’s a senior next year too, the other is going into his junior year now. So far every man older than me who’s pursued me has been LVM or worse, and treated me like I was less intelligent and mature than them (lol) because I was younger, although they would never say that out loud.

idiosyncraticg1 · 2020-05-06T18:25:36+00:00

I’m in my early 20s. I would hookup with someone as young as 20, but I would only date someone my age + 3 years
