Hello dear @Jxy95 ,
as matter of fact age is never a problem for me as long as we both like and understand each others. people may give you many reasons, but frankly, in my own opinion, I would say:
"Maturity comes with experience, not with age"
I have previously dated women older than me.
less than 5 years difference, but the one time I have enjoyed it a lot, it was with that special person, near about 7 years older. we were so much compatible. we even were able to understand each other through a simple eye contact.
why have we broken up you may ask?
well she left the country and I was not able to go with her due to personal issues. I am still regretting that moment frankly, but, we are human and we learn from our mistakes in life to move on.
hopefully my opinion answered your question dear @Jxy95 :-)
as always, we aim to be useful, not only in this community, but in life in general ;-)

I would prefer to date someone younger or at the same age as me. But, it also depends on the age difference and what we had in common,  In other words, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Sometimes beauty is found on the inside.  But case in point.  let's go thirty year old guy  20 year old girl 30 year old girl 40 year old girl  50 year old girl 60 year old girl

Interestingly, I always prefer company of older people, ever since I was a kid, I preferred to stay among my parents' friends and listen to them rather than go out and play or something. It is probably because kids were not intelligent and educated enough. However, I don't enjoy dating someone who is really older since it is important for me that me and my partner have lived the same childhood and have similar memories of what was cool, uncool, etc. This is also probably why I can't date foreigners, their baggage is quite different from mine. Also, older men somehow intimidate me in personal relationships. I think I would feel like being raped if he's really much older. I have daddy issues but in my case I search for someone who is complete opposite of my father, not a father figure. That may be one of the reasons why I wouldn't enjoy intimacy with an older man.

I like older guys, even by two years, i'm just not attracted to guys that are younger then me.

Both is fine. The problem is that you can't see how old she is just by looking at her. I saw some girl where I thought they were about 18 or 19 and when I asked them they said they are already 25 or older. It's difficult. The best would be when we have the same age.

I think having hard and fast rules for yourself limits your opportunity.  Some women say "I ONLY date older guys" or I ONLY do this or that. I don't necessarily think this is a good mindset

LucyGrace · Answer

I usually find out that he's older than me so it's a coincidence but age doesn't matter. Unless it's ridiculous

Onlythisone · Answer

I don't like to because I'd like a family but the only guys I tend to like end up being older

egoroboto · Answer

I'd say what matters more is what are you doing with your life at the moment. People live their lives at a different pace, and what you look for in a relationship changes with time and experience, more so than age.

Older women turn me on, but I probably wouldn’t date one for serious intent. We’re at two very different stages of our lives.

ShanGG · Answer

Age isn't a big deal for me. I've dated/been with a broad age range of women. Every person is unique in their own way.

carloschena · Answer

Yes, because i won't have to worry about them being inmature and i know that they are serious with everything we talk about and it varies it could be a year or five years older than me

CINDY16 · Answer

I prefer dating someone older or my age but having a younger partner is also okay

Just_Me89 · Answer

I like to go older. How much older depends on the person; I'd probably stop at 15-ish years older than me though.
