I'm not looking to date at all at the moment, but if I were, I wouldn't want to date too much older because I'm not sure if it would feel right to me. I think my cutoff would maybe be early 30's, but it depends on the guy. If I happened to find a great match a bit older than that, I might reconsider.
I definitely wouldn't want to date much younger. I know people my age and even slightly older who date seniors in high school who are barely 18, and I could never do that. I mean, the life experience difference and the stages of life that both of those ages are at are pretty different. I would feel like I was dating a child if I were dating a senior in high school or a guy in his late teens, or really under 21. Not that I'm calling those guys children, but it would just feel that way because to me, 18-20 just feels pretty young for me.
I used to be in a relationship with a 30 year old when I was 19. But in retrospect it seems like too much of an age difference to me. So I'd say up to 5 years older, if I was looking for a new relationship that is.
I'm 45 feel 25 very active so font really care about age but if they can keep up and enjoy doing the things I enjoy then age wouldn't matter I' have friends that are 20. To 60 years old there are some 20 year olds that are so wise who know who they are and our so before there time it's very beautiful and I know some 30 to 50 something who act as if there lost. But are happy who they are and some same age that don't want to stop experiencing new things or stop growing so I can't put a number on it so I guess from being legal to happiness and love of life,, what ever age that is
u In January, 2018 I had a date with a woman who was 82 years old. I then dated a woman who was 78 years old. Both of them were active, healthy, and attractive. Age is not the limiting factor.

Sometimes age doesn't mean maturity or chemistry. Younger or older, if it feels right, it's right
I have no time to invest in that.
I had a fling with a guy who was 15 years older and that was too weird, okay for short term but to meet the folks no good. Also dad dates 10 years younger so my 'stepma' (not actually married) is only 12 years older than me, but it was when he said his son was 4 years younger than me that I freaked a little
I've really only dated guys my age or older. The oldest I've dated was 19 years older. It didn't work out for other reasons, but the age difference didn't bother me all that much.
I prefer to date guys in their early 30s - early/mid 40s at this point in my life :)
Younger is better but I briefly dated a girl 5 years older than me (I was 22 and she was 27). It wasn't a problem but she was at a lower maturity level for her age since she had medical issues.
I think it's dumb to pretend there is a specific cutoff. But I'm not likely to look for older when when younger ones are better most of the time.
I'd date someone as young as 21 (18 if it's understood to be very short term). As for my top end, I don't really have a limit as long as she isn't mentally old. I work with someone in her mid-late 60's, but is mentally younger that I would be happy to date. Meanwhile, there are people much younger than she is that act like they are 100. So, to me, it really would depend on the situation
Max 20 years older 20 years younger but realistically 10 and 10
The half your age plus 7 rule works pretty well to find out what's socially acceptable by modern standards.
40 / 45 years old is the oldest I would date but only if he look young and good.
18 years old is the youngest I would date so long as he's attractive and mature.
Current in relationship with 41 yr old. Previously i would have said younger as i wanted kids. I now have a son. I think casual dating i would go to 60, if right personality. For relationship, i'd say under 50
I'm 22 and the oldest I would date it's 30 years old, and the youngest I guess 19 but as long as it's legal and the guy it's mature (not with the mentality of a teen) I'm okay with it
I’m 23 and the youngest I’ll date is now 30. Guys younger aren’t mature enough.
the oldest is 35.
I personally dont have an age range per say but maturity is everything.
I'd date someone who was 4 years older than me at most and 1 year younger at least
I'll date till I die. And keep getting rejected in my afterlife. Thats why i won't be scared getting sent to hell. I was married for 13 years Hell will be like MAUI or CLUB MED

I only really go for 3 years older or 2 years under, well at my current age anyway cause it would be weird to date a 16 or even 17 year old tbh.
I’d probably only date someone up to 27/28ish. Honestly, I don't know if it could date someone more than a few months younger than me 😅
I'm 39. My ideal age range for a partner is 29-39. But I would expand that to 22-42 for the right person.
Right now, my age range would probably be about 20 to 30.
60 for me but it boils down to their personality and chemical attraction
