Girls, Would you Date a Younger Man?

Question

The idea makes you feel unconfortable? Would you date a younger man? How many maximum years of difference? Have you ever experienced? PS: I think your age is pretty important in this question

Honestly? No. Not if they're in their 20s at least. If they're a few years younger than I am? Sure.

I'm probably going to get some downvotes for my opinion, but I'm speaking from past experience.

I've tried dating younger guys in the past, and they NEVER worked out! They were immature or did not know what they wanted in a relationship. I need a guy that is mature, has his life in order, and knows what he wants in a relationship.

I’m dating a guy 10 years younger & honestly never considered dating anyone that young before but he’s a beautiful person & we are learning a lot. Age has never been an issue for us or a barrier in anyway but I think that’s because we don’t make it one. Life is hard enough, something like age or number is the least of your worries! Enjoy your life & go where you are celebrated!

Since I'm only 24, not very much younger. I think it would be pretty awkward to date a guy under 21. I prefer a guy around my age or a little older most of the time though. I don't mind slightly younger, just not enough so that it almost feels like I'm with a kid.

My boyfriend is 4 years younger than me. Previous to dating him I wouldn't have ever thought of dating a younger man but I suppose life experience helps with maturing and aging people's souls so the number truly isn't a factor

Hi I am almost 30 and dated a younger guy. He was 22 when I met him. We were together for almost 2 years. We moved across the country together and once we got to our new state/city... he decided he was no longer ready for a relationship. So...
NO
I would not take that chance again. I think most men under 30 may think they are ready for commitment in its entirety but they are just not experienced in life, confident or worldly enough to understand love and relationship commitment.

Now... would I sleep with a younger guy. Absolutley. But that’s it.

morimeme1 · Answer

Nope, at least not right now because all the guys my age are extremely immature and not tk my taste. If I'm like 42 I would date a guy who is like 40 or smth, but anyways no more that 3 year difference, don't want to be old before him and have him leave for someone younger.

ClearerAtN1ght · Answer

I've never dated anyone younger more by chance than anything. But I'd be fine with as long as we had a connection and common things to talk about. I'm not sure emotionally, maturity wise, and place in life that a 18 year old and I would hit it off. I could be wrong. I could definitely see being ok with someone in their late 20s, or 30s that was ok with my age.

PinkMichae · Answer

I dated a 25 yr old when I was in my late 30's and when. I was younger I dated a man 20 years older. I try to get to know people instead of being an ageist. Now I'm with my man that's only a year older.

MzAsh · Answer

Young, willing, able, and eager to please. I’ve dated several younger guys before.

SweetDisaster · Answer

No. Why? Because I like mature man not young ones the still don't know what they want in life. Yes it would be a little fun dating young to teach them things they don't know yet lol but my answer is NO.

glapwe · Answer

I have dated younger before (only one year younger. I’m nearly 18) and had no problems at all Would not be put off by up to five year age gap once I’m in my mid twenties/beyond

lyssagirl · Answer

Deoends on their maturity level n how we click. Prolly wouldn't go below 22 though just cuz then theyre in my brothers age range n i dont think i could do it

Anonymous · Answer

I’m 31 and have crushed on a 21 year old guy. He makes me feel alive and he’s so much fun. He loves how experienced I am and I love reaching him things. Yes-he can be immature, but I find it makes me feel like a school girl again. I adore him.

Rissa95 · Answer

For me, definitely. I think I've almost only ever liked guys younger than me. One being only 19, another one being 20, with me being 24. They're really mature though and we're very much alike.

Tigger118 · Answer

Yes. I have dated people long-term 5+ years older than me and they haven't been mature... so age really isn't dependant on level of maturity.

I have had sex with a guy 10 year younger though and that wasn't fun as he was too excited and had NO idea what he was actually doing.

So maybe 5 years younger, not too immature and still able to deliver on the physical side of the relationship :)

nomazi · Answer

At my age, the absolute lowest I’ll go is 2 years (for obvious reasons being a 20 year old). Maybe in the future, but I’m more interested in someone my age or a little older

Melshmallow046 · Answer

I wouldn't date more than a year or two younger than myself, and I prefer older. Most of my friends are at least seven years older than me, but one female friend who is 26 is dating a guy that's 20.

powderpuff98 · Answer

Personally I wouldn't. I feel like the maturity levels wouldn't match. Statistically speaking, men do mature much later.

Anonymous · Answer

I’ve dated several younger guys, and actually prefer them. I’m 37, and have dated guys as young as 20.

TheWaterisFine · Answer

Definitely not.. it would be one in a million and I'd never know because I would immediately discredit him.

MelissaMarie9614 · Answer

It doesn't matter whether he's older or younger than me. If younger, than I say at least 1-2 years younger

ACupOfFrosting · Answer

Probably not. Males are behind mentally like 3 years so I'm guessing someone one year older than me would be the minimum. (this is scientifically proven so don't at me)

AuroraRoseat · Answer

I would only date a few years younger (around 2) but not anyone younger than that.

Mysteriee · Answer

I prefer somebody the same age or a little older :)

Molly417 · Answer

the idea makes me a bit uncomfortable yea but I could probably get over it... not more than 2 years definitely and no I have only dated older guys and I always end up w older guys

Stacy6ft92 · Answer

It depends on his maturity. Cause I know men older then me that are immature. My current boyfriend gonna be 25 I’m 3 years older then him.

Anonymous · Answer

I prefer much older men lol. My hubby is 13 years older than me^^

Abbii_xoxo · Answer

I wouldn't date a younger guy because it's really scary being the older one as a female, especially when your like 5 years older

Anonymous · Answer

Many women would date younger guys. The problem is younger guys are not really into long relationships.

Anonymous · Answer

Age doesn't tell the maturity. I mean I wouldn't mind to date a younger guy as long as we both into each other. I think the maximum would be 4-6 years for me …currently

ClosetHoe · Answer

Only a year younger for obvious reasons.

BubblyMaria · Answer

2 years younger, max.
