Guys, is a significant age gap a deal breaker for you?

[Anonymous]

How old are you and how young or old would you be willing to date?

[Hal2002]

Physical age is not really a problem for me, age is just a number. It is the emotional and mental maturity, of a person that is important. I know a few people in my age range that are not emotionally or mentally where they should be at this age, and I know a few people high school to college age that are emotionally and mentally more mature than their peers.

Having said that, I am 54 and would prefer to date someone between 45 and 60. I have found that this age range for myself, just works out better as we are within the same generational culture.

I'm 45, and no, a big age gap is not a dealbreaker. I would go as low as 20 and as high as 65, but no matter what her age she has to meet my usual criteria for dating, so that means not just any 20, 45, or 65 year old woman is a potential date.

I've never date a woman over 39, though, so maybe I'd revise that 65 if indeed did date a much older woman.

*dated a woman over 39

[annjan]

Used to have a rule not to date anyone older than my sister because I didn't want it to be weird. Well she dates younger people so we both are screwed.. but I don't think I would cross 15 years, but then again I crossed my 5 year rule, then my 8 year rule so yeah.. soo age doesn't matter that much ish, but it is more important that the people click together than age. But dating an older man/woman also brings up the question of marriage, children, work, moving in together etc...

It depends on how significant, since I'm a lot younger I noticed that I get hit on by older men its usually because of a power thing ( they mad aggressive) not saying all older guys who date young women do that but it's something that I watch at for. Even tho I am legal I'm still immature and have less experience than someone far older.

My husband used to be 17 years older than me. We ended up breaking up. It wasn't a big deal until I was 28-29. But it was later. He had gone though so many things I had not lived yet and I felt that was very selfish with myself. Huge age gaps become a deal sooner or later

[ChronicThinker]

For most guys, what matters if you're legal, and not dusty.

[Pinay_ako]

anyone older than 20 years old is fine by me

[Bjorn526]

Ironically it was a much bigger deal when I was younger. For example, a Senior in High School, I wouldn’t date a Freshman for example, even when I was 24 I wouldn’t go into the teens anymore but now that I e gotten older, both older women have shown me how immature they can be and younger girls have shown me how mature they can be, so I’ve made a rule to never approach someone because of age, just worry about that later. My range has been 19-51

[EpicDweeb]

18 I'd probably be willing to date a woman 10 or more years older than me. That age would probably get larger as I grew older. At a certain point you're both just equal adults and age no longer matters. But until it's a matter of equal adults I think age can matter very much.

[hahahmm]

I’m 44. I would not go younger than early 30s.

It’s not necessarily the ‘gap’ but younger people tend to be less certain about what they want and I don’t want to be an experiment. Plus I find older women more attractive looking anyhow (when I was your age I found women my own age attractive too tho).

[sonnypie]

Age doesn't really matter, but I really want someone who can challenge me intellectualy and maturely, so I tend to be drawn towards older women unless a younger woman proves that she is mature and intellectual. I've realized its more about the person than the age, and I really should stop to "care". But just can't help it.

Im 32 and recently divorced from the woman I started dating at 17. I asked myself the question of "what age gap makes the most successful marriages" and the answer was shocking. The most successful marriage age gap is the man being 12-15 years older. So my answer is I would be willing to date anyone legally able to drink.

[KuroUsagi]

It really depends on the maturity of parties involved and taking into account the kind people they are. It’s easy to say an age gap is a bad thing if it’s plain to see one party is clearly taking advantage of the other. In most cases it will get you snide remarks or strange reactions from onlookers but so long as you’re okay with dealing with that it’s fine.

I'm pursuing a girl 13.5 years younger than I am. It would be the largest age gap I've had; but, she's stable, responsible, good head on her shoulder. Much more together than my ex, who is about to turn 30... even that is an 8 year difference. I prefer younger women, but once I had a fling with a woman 10 years older.

[jamesmark1903]

One night stand?

[jamesmark1903]

How did it go?

[jamesmark1903]

Sorry. You’re just some random person on internet and I find your life to be interesting.

[Vincemeister]

I was 26, she was 36. Great body, great sex. Descent personality and good person. We had a two week thing, but it ended abruptly.

[jamesmark1903]

Dang. That sounds like a decent experience you had.

[Anpu23]

The biggest age gap I've deted was 13 years. I was 33 she was 20. We had a lot of fun and are still friends to this day. But the issue of children killed the relationship, I already had a 13 year old daughter and didn't want any more. Ahe wanted a baby. She now has a lovely child and a loving husband, and we go to coffee occasionally.

[studDMuffF1n]

Fuck no! I have no age limitation if that body looks right. I swear there's this 45 year maybe 50 years old at the gym and she is a fucking goddess the bitches body is amazing ( not muscly) putting most younger women to shame. I wouldn't even care at a family event for a women of that caliber. Shit my family would agree.

[MysteriousDarkness]

Why call her a bitch?

[ryancg]

I don't know that I have a clearly defined age gap that I'd consider a dealbreaker. Obviously, I wouldn't go lower than 18, but I probably wouldn't even go much lower than my own age. I actually typically prefer older women, and I've never given how much older any real thought.

[mhmdjoudi]

I wouldn't date a girl older than me, either younger or same age.. yet not too younger. For a simple reason than girls are more mature than men plus the a girl has a certain age to stop reproduction whereas generally a guy could ejaculate at an old age.

[Handsome_cowboy]

I prefer to be older. But if she's older by no more than a year.. eh. Ok. But i also prefer to be around 2 years older. But a lot of it just depends on their ages. For example. A 20 year old with a 16 year old isn't right. But a 24 year old with a 20 year old is doable. I knew a couple one time that the wife was 10 years older than he. Circumstances just depend. Dont wanna be a pedaphile. Or a cougar either.

[Greengoddess]

My husband is 8 years older than me. I'm almost 29. I think he's about max the age I would ever be with. But I see nothing wrong with a 10 year age difference. Any more than that is a little strange to me.

[intothenight13]

As long as I won't go to jail I'm good. I personally am more attracted to younger women than my own age or older. I like to hang out and go to live music in bars etc. The older women get the less they are interested in doing the things I want to do.

[lumos]

My boyfriend is 29 and I’m 23, it bothered him a tiny bit before but now he has gotten over it. Don’t think he’d go for anyone younger than me, though. Some people are cool with age gaps, others aren’t.

[Appless]

Well considering that i’m 15, the oldest i’d date would be 17 and not any younger (I see myself as quite mature and most boys under the age of 15 are completely the opposite). If i was older- let’s say 18- i would probably date up to 5 years older.

[jasonkyle]

We'll thats true

[10dsw]

I'm almost 27 and prefer women around 18-22. When I reach 35 I'll probably raise that cap to about 25.

There's lots of women online who are 18-23 who put their age restriction at ~28-37 male for the record. So calm your tits :)

[Finchie40]

Not at all if I met a girl that was 20 years old and she had a great personality and we connected well her age wouldn't bother me. to much same of the girl was older then me , but if she wasn't legal age then yes that wouldn't even be a thought

[alaskafrog]

People finish maturing by 25. I'd not want to be with a girl much younger. I'm not down for being the guinea pig that she works out her immaturities on.
