Question for anyone 30 or Older, Would you date a 19yr old?


I'm leaning towards "no" and for me it's not that I don't find them attractive (I think they're so attractive nowadays), but I think our life experiences are too far apart to relate on that level. Not to disrespect guys my age who go that sort of thing, but I genuinely prefer a pretty one closer to my age, at least not so much younger than me that I could be her father.
But at this point in my life, I'd probably generally not go for a girl younger than late 20s. Like it's kind of important to me that she has graduated from school, has figured out her career, has become satisfied with her choice of career, is not living with her parents, is very independent, self-sufficient, etc. Those kinds of things help us really relate a lot better and I like it when the girl can kind of challenge my views and opinions cooperatively. I don't like the "fan" type that just kind of listens to me while gazing at me with her face in her hand while complimenting all the time. That feels very lopsided.
I also like submissive but not too submissive. Like my wife is only a year younger than me and while she lets me make any critical decisions that affect both of us, she will challenge my thoughts, give her opinions, and we cooperate and the decision feels mostly mutual even though it's my responsibility at the end of the day. I wouldn't feel right with a girl who is so submissive that she's like, "Whatever you say, boss! I trust you!" I don't want that cause it's now I have too much responsibility absent her input. So I like to be in dominant position but not like a "fatherly" dominant, if you will. I like my girl to be like my right-hand adviser whose advice I always value and who is always willing to give it to me, and is going to a very thoughtful and mature opinion that matches up with our life experiences.
I picked maybe but it is a maybe leaning heavily to no
She would have to be a very exceptional person well mature beyond her age and she would have to be pretty damn convincing in her affection for me
So if it were to be so then I would consider it
Chances of me meeting a 19 year old who fits that though are effectively nil I got a better shot at winning the lottery
Now a nice sweet and funny 40 year old who doesn't mind that I am kinda boring that might actually be possible and that would be just fine
No from me. I was a bit hesitant at a 24 year old but I really really liked him so gave it a go. He wasn’t mature enough & didn’t see things the way I did. So I wouldn’t even go to 19!!
What about meee
I’d be up for some fun with you but I don’t think you’d be ready for anything serious at your age!
Wooooooohoooo
No way. They're still a child and have a completely different mindset. I want to be a partner not a babysitter/pervert.
At 19 she is a young adult yes by her looks she may seem immature or her age. You can still instill guidance teachings for her. If you're both mature like to accompany each other and building a strong bond why not. We have this notion that someone who is 30yrs old dating someone younger or not in their ahe range we automatically label them as a pedophile.

I think 20 is the lowest I'd go. She'd have to be the most amazing person at 19 for me to go lower than 20.
Possibly but most likely not... I have rolled my eyes and rejected 18 year old girls that were totally in love with me and throwing themselves at me... They are a bit young mentally at that age. That's all I can really say.
Absolutely. I don't waste my time on women older than about 26 unless she's aged amazingly well. 19 is perfect: legal in every state, even barbaric shitholes like Commiefornia, and still pretty and *maybe* not yet full of entitlement and hatred.
Simple
U choose
U want to date you date
You want to not date, you do not
Ur choice ur consequences
Same for the person being dated.

Sure, I'd have a relationship with an 18 year old even as long as we were a good match for morals, long term life goals, she wanted a family within a couple years, and we had some common interests of stuff to do together.
Absolutely not. We’re in completely different stages in life.
I am 28 and would date anyone younger than me.
Of course I would -- moreover, I seldom pay attention to women over 24. Women are better when they're fresh, as their value goes down with age.
Yes they are legal and full of energy and probably fun
Am I dating them because we get along and enjoy each other or is it some warped crap?
Yes I would but it's always the girls choice. I don't force.
I'd love to date a 18 year old when I'm middle aged
Yes why wouldn't I if I was single.
Pretty, I'm sure, but not fully formed.
Nope.
That kinda looks like a creepy picture
It would be creepy if the girl wasn't so happy in the picture. If she's happy then there's no problem in that.
Yeah
Glad you took back what you said.
Kay.
